Math tutorial

[blackcoder41]

hey guys, please link me to some good math(algebra and trigonometry) tutorial. preferably the lessons are arrange and is easy enough to learn from scratch.

i attended classes before and manage to pass (i did not cheat to pass) but i don't put it to my long term memory because i'm not interested back then.

thanks for the help.

If anyone knows of any good tuts on linear algebra, I'm interested in that as well.

Have you ever heard of complex numbers? If so, this link looks reasonable

@Disch: I was going to recommend you my favourite book on linear algebra "Lectures on Linear algebra" by Gel'fand, but here is a comment I saw about it on Amazon.com (which recommends another text I have never seen before):

If you are trying to actually learn linear algebra (especially on your own and especially if you want to learn how to solve practical problems) get one of Gilbert Strang's books and watch his videolectures at MIT web site. Another thing that I dislike about the Gelfand's book is that it puts too much emphasis on index notation - instead of matrix notation wich is natural for linear algebra, almost all formulas and theorems are presented at very low level using expressions consisting of variables with multiple indices. Naturally it gets very messy and hard to follow at times. This doesn't present any more information than equivalent matrix notation but introduces unnecceccary complexity and makes things that are really easy to understand very confusing.

But i do not like these MIT Lectures. They are too practical and do much less theory than you might think.
But they are still under the best you will find in the internet, i think.

thanks maikel, i found a review on trigonometry in MIT opencourseware. i think review is all i need, or maybe not, LOL.

www.academicearth.org has video recorded lectures for everything done by yale, harvard, mit, etc. very cool.
