I'm going back to college this summer and will be taking engineering statistics and calculus based physics. I dropped out of college about 4 years ago and took calculus 1-3 before leaving. I'm worried I have forgotten all of my calculus and won't be able to perform in my upcoming classes. What is the best way to get caught up and what are some web sites that will help me catch up?

Thanks

Don't forget to thoroughly review your trigonometry and algebra. I have been a teaching assistant for many calculus classes and I have found through experience that many students have trouble with calculus because they have not mastered the prerequisites.

My personal favorite is patrickJMT (just math tutorials) He has more than just calc, but his 100+ full in depth calculus videos helped me through my classes. Khan Academy is good too, but honestly they are dont go in depth enough.

Khan Academy is probably the best site. It's interactive. There are videos and drills that you can use to test your chops. Link

Paul's Online Notes are pretty good. http://tutorial.math.lamar.edu/Classes/CalcI/CalcI.aspx

All 3 mentioned, I find great for different things. Khan Academy for developing some insight (if you have forgotten the overarching idea), PatrickJMT for lots of examples of how to actually do questions, and Paul's Online Notes are also great for reading.
