Hello all... I wanted to ask if someone knows where some downloadable texts I can use to get me reacquainted with math. Unfortunately, when I was in high school I didn't ever pay attention, and now that I'm interested in physics, its hurting me. So, if anyone could please post sites that I can download texts from calculus on up from, I would very much appreciate it. Thanks!

Here is a little puzzle from the book 100 Geometric Games by Pierre Berloquin. The side of a small square is one meter long and the side of a larger square one and a half meters long. One vertex of the large square is at the center of the small square. The side of the large square cuts two sides of the small square into one- third parts and two-thirds parts. What is the area where the squares overlap?
