My Fellow Monks,
This question may not seem to have lots to do with Perl (maybe it does) right away, but I need to learn some more math.

I'm going to be a sophomore this year, and am in advanced math (geometry/trig), but it's not enough for my programming habit. I'm almost done reading an old book about AI and haven't been able to understand lots of it because of the advanced math involved. I can't even understand what it means when a program runs Olog(n) because I don't know the math.

So basically, does anyone know where/how I can teach myself trig-calc? I don't think skipping math classes is an option, although I'm going to check it out. I'd love to know of good textbooks or online docs to read. I just don't know enough math. So yeah, if you have any ideas I'd love to hear them. I know there are some here who are very good with math. Thank you,
