Khan Academy is excellent.
It has fifteen-minutes lessons on everything from elementary algebra to relatively advanced stuff (a bit more difficult than what you said you are learning now in your class, I'd say), and the author really knows how to explain things clearly.

But they seem to know where they are going, the ones who walk away from Omelas.The only bad thing I can see about the khan site is that it does not have a simple list over concepts and explainations to them.
But the videos seem good.
Damn, I was beaten to it!~
In any case, I'm really disappointed in the absence of Star Trek references on that site.
Where were you when I laid the earth’s foundation? Tell me, if you understand. Who marked off its dimensions? Surely you know! ~ GODDeboss: Horrible and horrible because I have no idea on what I am looking for.
The only thing the Khan site has as an edge is that the structure is 2 edges better, but it is still a horrible and unnavigateable mess.
I heard very good things about Courant, Robbins and Stewart's textbook — I have not read all of it, but I skimmed through it once and it seemed good.
It's pretty popular, so you can probably find it in some public library.
I have never watched The Wrath Of Khan, actually, so it took me a while to get your reference... ;)

But they seem to know where they are going, the ones who walk away from Omelas.Well if you want help with Calculus I can personally give you notes (from first year calculus to differential/partial differential equations).
Unfortunately, I never found any good websites to learn math online. But everyone else seems to have links so it's all good.
Khanacademy was already mentioned, but MathTV and patrickJMT are also pretty good.
The latest things I have learned in my math class would be vector algebra, binomial & hypergeometric distribution, derivation, and the like.
A guy called dvorak is tired. Tired of humanity not wanting to change to improve itself. Quite the sad tale.I am starting to notice that there is quite a lot that my previous teachers failed to teach me, and I guess it is getting more obvious by the day.
Another problem I have is that when we are taught concepts, at times they only teach us a fragment, and because it is a fragment I can never get around to properly grasp what it was.
I guess I am not the only one that has this problem, so I guess there must be some large sensible compenium on how to actually learn math out there somewhere on the internet, or in some book.
tl:dr I am looking for a webpage where I can learn math(back to grade school level too), and it is better written than Wikipedias poor pages.
