What are the best websites for learning math?
See also: MIT OpenCourseWare. The link will direct you to MIT's offerings in mathematics. There's a whole range of classes and topics that are listed: and the courses vary in terms of the material provided: lecture notes, syllabi, video lectures, etc. The site is free to use. They also have a scholar program (free of charge), with classes in which you can "enroll" (no tuition/no credit) which allow you to actively "participate" in classes. (See link for more details.)
In fact, you might want to check out Wikipedia's entry on Open Course Ware, where you'll find a handful of links to universities and programs, similar to MIT's in principle, with no costs involved or formal enrollment required. Click on the links of interest, and search for course offerings in mathematics.
I'd also suggest that to get the most out of Open Course Ware resources, that you buy/borrow the recommended/required text(s) that were/are used for the class, and study it along with the following and using the resources available at the OCR websites. That way you are not restricting yourself to "only" what is available on-line, and you'll have the resources you might need to tackle reading a text and doing exercises. There is really no way of replacing, entirely, the value of studying a textbook, be it an on-line text, or a "hard copy" text: reading it, taking notes, working alongside proofs to fill in gaps, and doing the exercises to gauge your understanding of the material.

What I known:
Are there any other website for learning math? Which one do you think is the best?
-
Joachim over 10 yearsUse books, not websites :)
-
Jim over 10 yearsMathoverflow is not for learning math. It's a site where professional mathematicians talk about their research.
-
Gerry Myerson over 10 years@Jim, that said, one can learn a lot of mathematics from Mathoverflow, if one has the necessary background. The intersection with Khan Academy is probably empty.
-
Pete L. Clark over 10 yearsI voted to close this question, as I think it is insufficiently focused: "learning math" could mean any of too many different things.
-
tidy over 10 years@Joachim, can you recommend some good books?
-
Joachim over 10 years@honeytidy, that question is immensely broad.. I would suggest you ask a new question and be more specific about 1. what your current level of knowledge is and 2. what area of math you want to learn about: geometry, algebra, analysis, etc. Alternatively instead of an area of math you could say: "things you would learn in the 1st year of a mathematics bachelor/master/phd/whatever" =) Lastly, my comment seems light but it is actually a strong recommendation!

Joachim over 10 yearsby the way, theres this website called coursera and i think they offer free courses on math too.. you could check it out..

tidy over 10 yearsThanks for your suggestion. In fact I want to learn the application of mathematics on machine learning (I am sorry not mention it). Thanks for everyone's advice.
