I am a high-school freshman who is looking at a career in programming or maybe mathematics research. I am an ex-java Rubyist, who has recently decided to move up onto C++. W00T!

I am very into math. I have been dabbling my way into calculus, and I love it :)

@ShaunAult Oh, trust me, I can tread water in calc. In church today, I was working the derivative of a circle equation.

@ShaunAult so which is commonly accepted? And what in the heck does "indeterminate form" mean? I am a highschool freshman ^^

@ShaunAult Then what kind of number is it? o.O

For 1), so some mathematician once said that $a^{0} = 1$? For 2), Which is then correct? Or is it both? For 3), I can kinda wrap my head around that, but I have yet to come across that particular way of denoting a range...

@ThomasAndrews Is there a mathematical way to prove so?

@ShaunAult Ah, true. But what if I set n to n-1, and set total to x? Wouldn't that throw your claim out the window?

Really? I have always been told that it is undefined...

Umm, I mean $n$ does not equal $0$, programming habit -_- And I am not good in TeX

@ThomasAndrews I go to a Charter school, so not really... And EuYu, I will look into it ^^

Ah, true, I just want to keep myself going in a general direction, making sure I don't completely miss something ^^

Well, I am on a budget of absolutely nothing. I have just a little bit of money at my disposal at the moment, all of which is going towards a new computer to do large calculations on... So I would think to turn to MIT Open Courseware, but I would rather be able to be spontaneous and jump around ;)

I actually very much prefer learning at my own pace and on my own, jumping to one thing from the next. Although this strategy will not be a complete learning solution, but it seems it will be the most fun for me, to keep me interested ;)

Is there by chance a free equivalent to that? How about CK-12 Calculus?

comment A High-School Freshman's Journey Into Calculus
With the $2^{x}$, I believe that $d/dx 2^{x}$ would equal $2x^{x-1}$ (I am not good in TeX, how do you make the derivative thingy?)
