Hello all... I wanted to ask if someone knows where some downloadable texts I can use to get me reacquainted with math. Unfortunately, when I was in high school I didn't ever pay attention, and now that I'm interested in physics, its hurting me. So, if anyone could please post sites that I can download texts from calculus on up from, I would very much appreciate it. Thanks!
