My kids are loving this...Math (basic addition to integration)
The new math IMHO is failing our kids, this helps to shim up the loose spots, and they have fun doing it.

I am looking forward to their final software:

I think this will be the way of learning for kids of the future generation, from primary up to college.

GREAT resource for math. Not certain about the other topics.

Considering I've had "learn calculus" on my list of things to do for quite a while, I'm tempted to use the site myself. The fact that I know it will help my son (started kindergarden this year) is just another benefit. 
Does it require anything more than registering an account to use it? (been really busy lately, so I haven't had time to do more than pull up the site so far)

Just note that the lectures and exercises are not always directly linked, so you may need to go into the exercises tree to choose the exercise you want to work on. For maths, there are usually 200-250 problems per exercise, tho the system declares you "proficient" if you get a streak of 10 or so in a row correct.

I taught myself calculus a few years ago, may I recomend Goldstein-Lay-Schneider fifth edition. I started with several texts and this one really builds intuition. Very good worked examples. They make it very easy to understand the concepts (a little short on integration by partial fractions and trig), to 1st year anyway. If you make it through with a good understanding of that, the rest is a lot easier. This site and a good text may be more helpfull for adults.krenshala wrote:Considering I've had "learn calculus" on my list of things to do for quite a while, I'm tempted to use the site myself.
