Before I go any further...
http://mathworld.wolfram.com This amazing place gives in-depth explanations of almost anything you wanted to know about maths. I wish my maths was better because I love it's concepts so much. What mathematical ability I had as a child was almost crushed by a primary school teacher who used to terrify me when I made mistakes. I curse him forever. This mathworld site is helping to repair that damage a little.
