Hi ladies,

I hope this is not too OT -- it's sort of a homeschooler's question, but probably won't come up for another decade or so in that capacity! I was just wondering whether any of you could recommend a way to re-teach myself the (maybe not-so "living") math I have forgotten from high school.

Thanks!

You might try here.
Sparknotes-Math
Sparknotes has free online study guides for many subjects. (The link here is for math. )They are usually pretty well done and straight-forward. Check them out to see if that is what you wanted. If not, I have some other links I can dig up.

I used the Saxon series, dipping in here and there, for a review for myself a few years back.

I am also a Kumon Supervisor and many adults do some Kumon work for a review before college re-entry.

Thanks for the suggestions! I am going to look at these. Also it's kind of silly that I didn't at first think to look at popular homeschooling math programs, as if adults really require different materials from teenagers to learn algebra and such.
