Dunno Learning Math Online, basic to whatever...

OK. It is finally starting to hurt me in what I want to do and its time to get it figured out for myself.

I suck at math. Like, really, really, REALLY, suck at it. I never payed attention in high school, I failed math every single semester I took. Basic Algebra, Geometry for 2 years, and then I some how convinced my counselor in senior year that I didn't need to take a math class...

I can pick things up here and there, but basically I have a middle school level knowledge of math, and even then I have forgotten most of that since I rarely used it. It sucks cause when I do get something I'm like "ahah thats sweet, but I have no idea what the fuck it matters to anything else!?"

So does anyone have any online resources for self-teaching math? I need like basic shit. I barely remember how to calculate the side of a triangle from its two know sides and I am sitting here trying to figure out how to calculate ballistics and its just a non-starter!

There are plenty of pre-algebra books on Ebay and elsewhere. Go through one of those, and once you get through it, get Algebra 1 and Algebra 2 for Dummies.

The "For Dummies" books are really great ways to learn from my experience..easdy to read and plenty of good info. They aren't really for dummies, since dummies wouldn't bother learning would they?

I feel you I'm in the same boat as you.

I'm starting school in the spring for electronic engineering. Fuck me!

Instead I'm learning how to speak Dutch through Rosetta Stone lol it's fun though.

Really, Nou? You're a computer programmer/network admin/computer guy and you suck at math? What made you so bad at it? Your brain should work in a logical enough manner to at least pick up some of it...

Thanks for the replies so far. I am planning to go back to school winter quarter and I would really like to test into a higher math class than I did the last time I applied to school... I think I was qualified for Math 80!

My English score was like 200+ or something, whatever the max was. English is rather pointless though in most endeavors...

Uh oh, you'd better get on top of your shit. Electrical Engineers have to be brilliant at math, you don't want to take Networks 2 or any of the Magnetics courses or any basic circuits course without being badass at Calculus and Differential Equations. Good luck...

Yea, its not so much that I can't grasp it, I am very logical. I was just a shit student and to be honest and not use this as my only excuse, most of my teachers sucked in high school.

One was cool, but he wasn't strict enough and I ended up being a jerk off in that class.

My sophomore year they put me in Integrated Math which if anyone has ever been in a district that tried that out, you know how much fucking fail it is. They taught you shit by basically one giant story problem AND they tried to mix in English and History with it too. It was a Titanic boatload of fail!

I think most of it is the symbols. If I looked at the math like pragmatically laid out I get a better understanding of it.

I may just be lazy in high school when i actually tried i did good at math.

I took electronics all four years in high school Learned a lot of the calculations bull shit but it didn't stick.

I killed the ASVAB (Services Vocational Aptitude Battery) my senior year my electrical was off the chart i could do any electronic job in the Marine Corps and clepped (sp? CLEP...) out of most of the schooling for the job i got.

So i hope it all will be a refresher. I forgot a lot in these 5 years.

If you're like me then I wouldn't do anything online and take math classes in college or something. At least there you have someone to help you out. The only people I know that took/take math courses online are people who are good at math to begin with. But you're going to get stuck a lot and probably need help/need to ask a lot of questions.
