Ok- I'm absolutely useless when it comes to maths- so does anyone here know any good websites that explain maths in the most simple aspect possible?

You need to be more specific. Fractions, geometry, trigonometry, algebra???

Do you mean simple arithmatic? Thats about as good as I get.:lol:

I can help you with math in its simplest form: 1+1=2.:)

Kinda all aspects of high school mathematics-I just need to know some maths sites basically- there used to be one I knew but can't remember at all (it's been like 2 years from I used it).
I suppose I'll need to read my old maths books-our teacher just thinks we spent summer studying this crap again.

Mainly it's stuff like converting decimals to fractions, standard form, etc etc.

Fractions and decimals were never my thing. Anyways, some easy ones..

¼=.25 ½=.50 ¾=.75 .25=25% .50=50% .75=75%

If you want something that will actually be a (very big) help, it is not a website but Isaac Asimov's Realm of Numbers (http://www.american-webshop.com/book/0449243990) is an excellent source of inspiration for those having trouble with any type of math. It breaks down the most complex ideas so that anyone can understand them. This book will get you past highschool algebra, calculus and imaginary numbers - and if you check out used bookstores, you can sometimes find it for under a buck!

edit: here is a better review: http://homepage.mac.com/jhjenkins/Asimov/Books/Book032.html

robyrob have you actually used this book yourself? I might look into at the library soon.

but it does go from the very basic "understanding zero" all the way through everything I learned in school and university
