Where do I start, /sci/? Brutally honest, I have no idea how to do long division; I simply break long division into sub equations. I have no idea how algebra is done, I just generally understand what outputs should equal what inputs and can work with it from there. I have no concept of the quadratic formula, or what a tangent is.

What is the best fundamental way to learn math from basic arithmetic to calculus? I'm looking to keep this an ongoing project over the next two years.
