I. Starting math from the begining

1.Get the necessary materials
Quite some time might have passed since your college math course, and if so, you will definitely need some books to learn or review the concepts. Fortunately, there is quite a number of books on a market that will help you in this task and, moreover, will provide with some useful strategies.

Wow what a collection!!!

Thanks.

Thnx for posting I really need to improve my math...

I'm glad that you find this thread useful. If you find anything interesting feel free to add.

Thanks!

OMG, unbelievable. Thank you timetrader!!!

He is da man

Hey guys is there a thread with all the Geometry questions compiled?Triangles,circles,Quadrilaterals,3d figures...etc?Sorry if there is one already..could'nt find it:(

I was reading through the various math posts and saw a post on items that should be committed to memory. Unfortunately I can't seem to find it. Can some one post a master list of all items, formulas or anything else that should be simply committed to memory for instant recall. Thanks.

B

thanks for the great post... this is very helpful

wow thats a gr8 collection
my 2 cents,
this is a wonderful link for geometry
http://www.mathopenref.com/index.html

Wonderful collection......any more items on probability, permutation and combination?

You mean this is not sufficient: combinations-permutations-and-probability-references-56486.html
(from above)

Ahem, they are

Sounds like we may need to restructure this post a bit to be cleaner.

Post has been updated

The link for Math prep (logic, Venn diagrams, number properties, algebra, geometry, probability, formula sheet) has been updated into two new links (one for geometry and one for algebra).

Does anyone know if this is the same information still (was looking for the formula sheet)?

I updated the link to one we have internally: geometry-formulas-practice-sheet-81427.html
That one is for Geometry only though.
