I'm starting engineering school and I need material to refresh for Math.?

I studied up to Algebra two in high school. I had no trigonometry. Now I've been out of high school for 4 years. I had a good mind for math in high school, but I've been travelling and working for the past for years and I'm quite rusty. I am starting school in the fall, I would like to brush up on my math and start learning some trig. At the moment I am living in Bolivia and will be on the road again in a month, Internet resources or books would be ideal. I'm of coarse willing to pay for any resources, not hundreds of dollars. What are do you recommend?I'm starting engineering school and I need material to refresh for Math.?
Well, one site I know a lot of people around here use (or at least used to) is a site called Khan Academy.

http://www.khanacademy.org/

Has a whole range of math subjects, alphabetized by subject, with various video tutorials.

Also, here's another: http://www.interactmath.com/

This one has a list of books that you can select, and it will come up with a variety of exercises. And from this, it may help to decide what books might be helpful to end up buying if you think that they help enough. (I haven't been on the site in a very long time, so I'm not sure what all it might have)

If I think of any more (or find anymore in my pile of bookmarks), I'll be sure to add them. Also, let me know if you have any issues accessing the sites, as I'll try to find some ones to replace them.

Best of luck, William!I'm starting engineering school and I need material to refresh for Math.?
You have no hope of passing an Engineering degree is our High School Math is so deficient.

Don't waste your time and money.
