Screaming Penguin - Source Does Matter

Unlike most of my programmer friends, I was a Biology major in college with emphasis on English (and CS) not math. I did enough math to get by but have learned more about math from the "real world" by being a machinist at one point (I have had a plethora of jobs, it was short term and not enjoyable) and now a programmer than I ever did in school (which also speaks to my lame study habits.) However, there is a better way, learn the math fundamentals without hidden details via the MetaMath project.

Math is the "universal language" and MetaMath is a site dedicated to helping non mathemeticians learn mathematical proofs. It is not non complicated (your Euclidian high shcool geometry class it is not) but it is also well explained and contains the oft missing inner details.
