    A good place to start math is Calculus by James Stewart (not the actor, but who knows the actor anyways, I dont!). It a very good book. BUT you will need an instructor's manual to teach yourself, get that. The book is very clearly illustrated and very good to look at, and simple overall.

    What to do with a BS in biology?

    Thanks for the reply, Crosson! That internship was really boring, and I did it after high school, before entering college! And it was all lifting and cleaning. It was basically a manual labor job. So I would definitely like to continue my studies. What are some 'popular' disciplines?
