Hi,

So, it has become apparent that I have forgotten almost all my highschool maths. I'm not joking, all of it.

This is bad. I want to go back and re-learn the critical stuff:
Algebra (no shit, I barely even remember how to solve equations)
Trig
Quadratics
etc.

Anyone know of any good (and free) websites for this kind of thing, or should I just get a highschool text book?

Go to a thrift store (like Goodwill in the USA), and go to their books. You're bound to find old textbooks for like $1. That's what I do when I want to find finance textbooks people would have otherwise thrown away.

buy those ACT/SAT (prep books for college standarized tests) or GRE (prep books for grad school standarized tests). they contain a good amount of algebra II and geometry stuff.

why do you want to learn it again?

id say get a year 12 text book. it'll have all that stuff in it.

gonna be graduating in computer science. i figure it's probably a good idea to have some maths under my belt.

my degree only has one maths course - discrete maths. i haven't done it yet. i want to be prepared for it.

i know discrete maths will be easy, i'm just ashamed that my maths is so bad, in general. also if i do some programming stuff and need to work out vectors etc...

Go to an academic book store and get yr 12 further maths and yr 12 methods text books. I'm not sure if that's what they call the math courses in Adelaide but there would be something similar.

Just make sure you get one that has explanations and not just questions to work through.

EDIT: Don't even worry about getting a methods book, just go get a further maths book. further maths = basic yr12 math

If you can handle the basics (pre and algebra + simult. equs. ) you'll be fine.

wtf you have ONE math course? We had like 10-15 math courses in my computer science education.
