After a 2 year break, I am returning to college. (yea, me!) The problem is that I was never very good at math, and with the break, I have forgotten everything I ever learned that was more complex then MDAS. I have already taken the 1st and 2nd remedial math courses for college, and was in the 3rd when I had to drop out of school. So, I will be returning to Intermediate Algebra (the last remedial course leading up to College Algebra) in the Fall, but need to review/relearn everything leading up to that.
My question: How best to go about this? Onine? Is there any software you recommend?
Thanks in advance for your suggestions!
You might find a book like this one helpful and enlightening, as a way of reviewing and possibly gaining a better understanding of the basic concepts.
There are lots of helpful websites online. I don’t know which are the best ones; do some searching, or maybe someone else will come along with a link or two.
Here’s another good one (not quite so advanced):

This is perfect, & I ordered the book as well! Thaks, guys!
We just went to see LOTR:ROTK last Saturday in Westwood, and were astonished to see just how deserted the place was. The restaurants were fairly busy, but aside from that, there were only 30 or so people in the theatre. Thirty people…for a Saturday night 9PM showing of the movie that just won the Best Picture Oscar. The streets were deserted. There are vacancies up and down both sides of Westwood Boulevard. For those unfamiliar with the area, this is next door to a huge urban university (UCLA), and surrounded by a high density neighborhood full of apartment houses. You’d think the place would be pulsating with life on a Saturday night.
There was a murder in Westwood back in 1990, when a gang member drove a car up on the sidewalk and killed a pedestrian. The commonly accepted theory is that this frightened everyone away, and, coinciding with the rise of the Third Street Promenade in Santa Monica, that spelled the end of Westwood. But after fourteen years, wouldn’t you think people could get over it? Where else in the history of American cities has one event been so pivotal as to virtually destroy the character of a neighborhood for over fourteen years?
Oh my og, can a moderator delete that last post? It was supposed to be a new thread.
I wondered what had happened to it.
