Good math resources...

So I'm teaching myself calculus. Anyone have a favorite math reference website with lots of (correct) example problems, explanations, etc.?

No examples, but a good reference.

are you teaching yourself single variable calculus? do you want to learn single, single calc 2, and multivariable?

if so then i HIGHLY recommend Calculus by Stewart 4th ed.

coupled with McGraw Hill publishing's 3000 Solved Problems in Calculus, you should be able to efficiently and correctly teach yourself all 3 levels of calculus...thats what i did with multivar. i took AP calc in high school and calc 2 senior year in college. thats it. from there i learned multivariable calculus, probability tehory, statistics etc. by myself.

I used that site to relearn the stuff I forgot over the summers between by jr. and sr. years of HS.

Nice for looking things up. A good reference for specific theories. It isn't worded for simplicity, though.

This looks pretty good.

I've already learned calc I, and I'm about halfway through what would be the equivalent of a college calc II class. So that sounds like it would be a suitable book, thanks.

I'm actually starting to prefer wikipedia to mathworld for reference.

I don't know of anything like what the OP is looking for, though.

My Calc classes use the Stewart book although we are using the 5th edition. Seems like a good book although the example problems used in the sections don't help a whole lot.
