My dad is a philosophy major at school, and feels that he would do a lot better with the logic if he understood math a little better. Can anybody here recommend a good software for learning algebra and geometry? I asked him about using books, but he wants to be able to have feedback with what he did wrong. Any suggestions?

Thanks!

I would suggest wolfram.com
 
I know some people that swear by Geogebra for illustrating geometry to their students.

I have been using this software for a while now. It's good for showing step by step how to solve problems.
