First, thank you websearcher for your excellent answers to my
questions.

As you can see from my previous questions, I'm rather math-challenged.
 I need remediation.  Can you suggest some (preferably free) websites
that can help me re-learn my basic math skills?  Now, I'm no dummy,
and I'm a pretty quick study.  I just have not concentrated my time on
math, and I need to improve my skills.

A great answer would start with basic algebra and work up to higher
math.

Thanks in advance for what I am certain will be an excellent answer. 
:-)

Oh yes....five stars and a tip is guarenteed!

Hello ddelphi,

I've found a few sites that will definitely help you:

http://www.math.com - The World of Math Online
This site's homework help section includes subjects in basic math,
everyday math, pre-algebra, algebra, geometry, trigonometry,
statistics, calculus, and even more advanced topics.  It also includes
a practice area and additional areas including a place to ask an
expert and play games.  This seems like a great starting place as it
is one of few sites that goes in-depth with the basics.

http://www.sosmath.com - SOSMathematics.com
This site starts at algebra and skips over the more basic math that
you may be interested in at first, but it is extremely in-depth, and
covers topics from algebra to calculus and beyond using notes much
like one would see in school.

http://drmath.com - DrMath.com
This site is quite popular, and includes many sample problems and
resources, but doesn't seem to strictly teach subjects as clearly as
the above two sites.  However, it's a good spot to learn more once you
re-learn the basics.

http://mathworld.wolfram.com/ - MathWorld
This site is quite complex, but attempts to include all aspects of
mathematics.  It has a huge variety of topics beginning with Algebra.

Please let me know if additional help is needed.

Thank you for the websites, but this question was directed
specifically to websearcher, and you are not s/he.  Is websearcher no
longer answering questions for ga?  I really wanted websearcher to
answer my question so that I could reward him/her for answering
previous questions.

Oh...and I misspelled "guaranteed" above.  Looks like I need to work
on my spelling as well as my math!

Ah!  I'm very sorry about that, for you and websearcher...I didn't
realize that you had meant it to be a for a specific person, but
rather thought that just meant a websearcher in general, not
"websearcher-ga."  I suppose I should have realized after the first
line of your question, but apparently I didn't read that very
carefully.  Is there some sort of way I can can cancel this questions
so that websearcher can get it?  If not, I apologize again, and I'll
be sure to read more carefully next time.

Well...I can see where a researcher might have assumed I meant any
searcher of the web rather than "websearcher-ga."  My fault for not
being clear.  Never the less, your answer to my question satisfied my
criteria for an excellent answer, so I am rating it "five stars."  I
will simply have to come up with another question for websearcher-ga
at another time.  Here is a modest tip for you.  Enough for a cup of
coffee, which will help you be more awake next time. :-)

Hey chis, you handled that quite nicely!

Why don't you join us in the researcher forum (there's a link in your
Researcher newsletter) I hear there are some cookies there to go with
that cup of coffee.

And ddelphi, thanks for your understanding.
