I feel guilty for saying it but wikipedia's actually pretty good in the math department. Unlike Mathworld, it tends to put things more in context in terms of physics and stuff; plus it tends to not link to empty pages.

Nothing wrong with acknowledging wikipedia as a useful information source.
At least in those areas that vandals are unlikely to have even heard of, much less care about.
And so long as you don't use it as a source in anything once you're out of high school.
And as long as you check it, and don't take it as gospel.

Eh, it's not so much whether wikipedia is credible or not; it's more of a devotion to mathworld.

Well Pari isn't even in the same realm as mathematica as far as a good math program but then it is one thing that mathematica isn't. ITS FREE! so I like pari it has some useful functions and once you learn how to do a few basic things on it it is nice to have around when you have one of those itching questions that is going to be hard to answer without doing 17,000,000 additions.... http://pari.math.u-bordeaux.fr/

I like mathematic... Especially since one of my professors does programming for it... So I can go to him and ask for his program modifications. I get it at the school I go to. It is a major tool at my school... But mathematica lectures are so boring... and one small bobble and the whole equation goes up in flames... I am partial to a pencil, paper, and brain power.
As for help sites... I haven't looked for any. I generally get a good grasp of anything I see done out before me. I rarely don't get it, and when I do I just fight with it. The best place for me to go is to my old professors. We chit chat and they answer my questions, then we just have long nerdy conversations. (honestly last time I went to see one of my professors we talked for 2 hours!) xp

I have THE MOST USEFUL THING IN THE WHOLE WIDE WORLD..... it's the derivator which shows you all the steps: http://calc101.com/webMathematica/derivatives.jsp#topdoit and the integrator, which gives you the integral, but doesn't show you the steps, but it gives you the integral, so you can have the answer to anything you want. http://integrals.wolfram.com/index.jspthese two really helped me, I hope you appreciate them as much as I do.

Oh. My. God. http://math.msarnoff.org/In a browser. O_o Sadly, it has limits. The problem I found it to solve broke the input field [I have a four-parameter function form that I want to break into two fit regions - I am setting the first and second derivatives to be the same so that the form is smooth between each region; I wanted to see if I could lose two of the extra four free parameters with it. I have got an expression for one of the new four parameters but I could not sub back in and solve for another because the field broke]

Bad calculator.

Besides, I leave out the +C so often I can hardly complain, it's still a lot better at maths than me.

The online encycolpedia of integer sequences.
http://www.research.att.com/~njas/sequences/
For when you know some terms, but have no idea what you've got a hold of.
