Do you Learn Math? Need Assistance? Learning Materials? Explanations and Tools? This Post is Just for You!

If you are learning mathematics it is a matter of fact that you need good books, tools and explanations to understand and to pass the tests. As a math student by myself I am sharing with you my personal experience by category, explore them and I hope you will find all you ever needed!

Note 1: As mentioned in the DisclaimerI take No Responsibility for Any Action you do on the sites that you will be redirected to by clicking the links
Note 2Presenting Search Results only. If You click somewhere on the search results You take the responsibility for Your Actions.
Note 3: In case you need DJVU Reader to open documents in the DJVU format.

Useful Tools:
  1. Wolfram Alpha - Wolfram Alpha computational engine is a great tool to compute and solve a lot of things: integrals, equations, sums, graphs, PDE, ODE etc. All you need is to write your problem and WA will compute it to you showing you step by step solution most times.
  2. For Russian speaker students/lecturers there is the Nigma site that is almost similar to the WA site, including science information, problem solving tutorial and a lot of useful explanation.
  3. Video Lectures by MIT - Well explained, video lectures where you can understand almost every topic, here are some of them for example, others include exams, lecture notes and solutions:
  4. Video Lectures by Berkeley
  • Note: On both (1) and (2) sites you can find a lot of other info on various topics, including history, physics and other information you need.
