Question
Dear Abe,

My question is, I'm weak in Math and would like to be able to improve and be very good at any math, but the problem is I don't which specific part I'm weak in, so I've tried starting from the beginning, from very basic math and move up slowly,what else do you suggest I do to make me improve, and if possible do you know any website where I can learn basic math all the way to algebra, advanced algebra, and advanced math, and also word problems, word problems are very hard for me, so if you any suggestions on learning math, and any other tips to help me, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Sincerely,
Emmo

Answer
Hello Emmo,

Sounds like you are doing the right hings.  Starting
with the basics like pre-algebra, then algebra, then
pre-calculus, calculus, etc.  As for web-sites...there
are lots of them!!!  Here are a few:
