How do I learn maths?

I forgot maths. I did maths for my GCSEs and A-levels, but I did bad and I want to learn maths.

Is there any book that will teach me maths? I keep coming across books by K.A. Stroud. Are they good? Should I get those?

Keep in mind this is British maths, not American math, so if there are any differences, I would prefer the British version.

I like this list of math books: http://www.amazon.com/gp/richpub/syltguides/fullview/R3NMQ393VD5UAZ

http://www.khanacademy.org/ is excellent if you want a quick refresh of basic stuffs. Salman Kahn has this incredible gift for teaching.

MIT Open Courseware also hosts these truly enlightening Lectures by Herb Gross. They were made for self-learning and will give you a strong understanding of College-level Calculus.

You can then start with regular MIT courses: http://ocw.mit.edu/courses/mathematics/

I don't get that British/American maths thing, I'd love to see some good trolling going on.
