Finally ordered "Basic Mathematics" by Lang, and the two MOOCs I signed up for start Monday and Tuesday. I'm pretty excited to be doing some education again.
Thanks! I really appreciate it. You're right with the fact that I want really cheap or free classes.
I just signed up for that course. It's nice that it doesn't require a book, though I may end up getting the one they suggested anyway since it is cheap.
I haven't gotten a chance to order the book yet, but I do have a pdf copy of it. I was wondering what you think of online courses? I know that you don't get as involved, and may miss a lot of stuff from the classroom, but it's also easier to access. Let me know what your opinion is on it. Either...
Thanks, I just went in and bookmarked those links. I wish I would have brought my reading glasses home, but I will be checking out some of that stuff tonight. Also I'll be picking up a notebook tonight so I can do some of the exercises with Khan, and when I get that book if there's anything in...
Well I have a day off today, and as soon as I'm free doing housework I'll start working on Khan Academy. Is there a recommended place to get "Basic Mathematics" or is Amazon about the best?
Also going to be looking into the links that were posted, as well as MOOCs, and the community college here.
Definitely not ready for calculus right away. I'll check out that book and go from there. Thanks!
I'll look into some of that, but I think I want to get my feet wet and then head into it a bit more. Thanks for the suggestion though!
I understand completely. I will be looking into the textbook you suggested when I get done with work. Are there any others I should look into, or start with that and go from there?
Thanks for the quick responses everyone! I have used Khan Academy before, but haven't looked into MOOCs. I'll do that when I get done with work tonight. I've also thought about the community college thing, and need to look into it a little more to figure out pricing, scheduling, etc. Keep the...
Hello everyone. I've been on this forum for a little while, but haven't posted much, so here's a little about me. I'm 26 and a college dropout. I went for a year and a half after high school and discovered that I was no where near mature enough to be out on my own. Jump forward seven years and I...
I've lifted on and off for a few years. Was really serious about it for a year, and just started back up again and got injured. When I was really serious about it I noticed a huge difference and absolutely loved it, then fell off the band wagon.

I got an Acer Iconia A501 from my parents, they also helped pay for half of the lift I put in my Jeep. I asked for socks probably a month or more beforehand, and totally forgot that I'd asked, and was pleasantly surprised when I got a box full of new socks. Also got a SOG folding knife from my...
