Who made mathisfun?
It's a brilliant website. I'm referring to mathisfun.com. It's so easy to follow and I can understand the concepts extremely quickly. The pictures and gifs help a lot. When I am going through a book or something I just look on there to understand the concept first. Then I can continue with the book. It's so much easier that way rather than trying to figure it out on your own if the book doesn't explain easily. I find the this part is this, that part is that, images to be the best way of learning for me.

MIF is responsible.
In mathematics, you don't understand things. You just get used to them.
If it ain't broke, fix it until it is.
Always satisfy the Prime Directive of getting the right answer above all else.

Re: Who made mathisfun?
By the way I have "basic maths + Geometry - Serge Lang" and Sulivan's Algebra now. I'm going through them nearly everyday. Sulivan's book is nice and easy is go through. It is organised well and shows you lots of methods. Even though I dislike parts of Basic Mathematics, I prefer it. I dislike that it is kind of difficult and assumes prior knowledge of certain things somethings. I really like the problems in that book and how it derives many of the rules. This is something that is nonexistent in the modern books I have read.
