Best Mathematics book for complete noobie?
michael_dorfman: What kind of math do you want to learn?There's a lot of great resources out there, but you need to be more specific.For example: I really enjoyed Gilbert Strang's course on Linear Algebra, available as a series of video lectures on MIT OCW (http://ocw.mit.edu/OcwWeb/Mathematics/18-06Spring-2005/Cours...).If you are interested in Discrete mathematics, Knuth's "Concrete Mathematics" is a great book--but it might not count as "basic" enough for your purposes, depending on your background.If by "basics" you mean "the stuff you should have learned in high school or as an undergrad", the Standard Deviants videos are fun: http://www.sdlearn.com/default.asp
