Self Education

[MDS1005]

So I have finally decided to go back to school. Its been nearly 5 years since I was last in a formal educational setting. I dropped out of high school, but have made the choice to attend a county college and hopefully transfer to a 4 year school (Rutgers University). Major will be Computer Science. I've decided a little catch up work is in order as I never payed attention in school. As far as math goes, I'm starting at the basics. Just finished a basic arithmetic book. Adding, subtracting, multiplication, division, decimals, fractions, etc etc. Now, I know this is very basic, and thats what I was going for.... My question is, where do I go from here? If i remember, pre-algebra came after basic arithmetic? Can anyone recommend any good text books for pre-algebra or any good online resources?

"Arithmetic" is pre-algebra, and algebra is pre-calculus

 

So, you should probably try to learn basic algebra.

 

These two websites seem quite good;

Good luck with your studies
