Can I learn Calculus on the web, for free, using simple tutorials? I'm a lazy type of person. I love experimenting with things before learning the theory. I like to practice, and learn from my mistakes.
In 3-4 months I have a basic University exam on Calculus, and I'd like to learn it in a fun way. I have found these videos to be quite entertaining:
http://www.calculus-help.com/tutorials
However they are not exhaustive enough for my needs. 
Any references you would like to share? I'm not sure if it's a valid type of question for this group, so I'm sorry in advanced if it's off-topic.
 A: I don't have a full calculus 1 course, but I have a lot  on youtube at  Professor Elvis Zap . You can learn to rap the laws of differentiation from the calculus rap. 
A: The MIT courseware is one of the first places to look for such materials. Here is a video series on a first course in Calculus.

Here is a video series on multivariable calculus

Edit: I found a few more such video series. I haven't personally looked at these though.

A: you can learn calculus from video tuts.

calculus video lectures
A: So I hear you want to learn mathematics in a fun way. Well I would suggest looking at these video's series below. The tutor has an interesting and uplifting personality when it comes to teaching that you can tell, and can keep you awake while learning (at least when doing examples). I found it to be helpful for some brushing up on certain topics.
Here are some free videos online:
*1)  http://www.youtube.com/user/patrickJMT?blend=1&ob=5 
2)  http://www.youtube.com/user/mathtutordvd
These websites should be a great start, as they cover calculus and a wide range of other different topics.
Okay, I hope this helps you out.
Good Luck with your studies.
A: You can try adaptive learning. One option is Toktol (I work on the project) - there is a full calculus section. Questions are automatically adjusted to your ability level and questions you did not know before will be repeated - so it tries hard to minimise the effort. 
There are some other tools, like Pearson's MyMathLab - though that is not free.
A: That sounds a lot like me, you might try the Calculus Revisited Series by Prof Herbert Gross.
It is simpler to follow than other courses I've seen, the lecturer doesn't waste your time with boring computations, and keeps focus on the main topic of each lecture.
It doesn't loose rigor in a mathematical sense, and you can always refer to the provided lecture notes if you want to dig deeper than what was exposed in the videos.
By just watching the video lectures you will learn a lot.
Part 1: Single Variable Calculus
Part 2: Multivariable Calculus
Part 3: Complex Variables, Differential Equations, and Linear Algebra
I don't have enough rep to post the third link 
A: The much-upvoted MIT materials are really good. I have actually
looked at some of them instead of just reading about them. But
I'm betting that a "lazy type person" will not learn calculus
this way, especially if you fall into a habit of watching
rather than doing.
An alternative approach might be to google 'Calculus Caltech'
and look at their course, not (necessarily) to take it but for the free
materials available. Specifically, I call attention to
the free availability of digital version of the three-part
calculus text by Marsden and Weinstein (Springer). You would need to
work a lot of problems to make any useful progress toward
your objective of getting ready for an exam. The bonus here
is that the digital version of the Student Guide is also available 
for free. So you can check methods and answers to some hard
problems that give you trouble. As one might expect from
a book used at Caltech, the theory is well presented, but the
examples and problems also include practical applications that may
provide some motivation to keep going when the going gets
rough--and it will if you are taking this seriously.
I have to say that I am not primarily a calculus teacher,
but most of the courses I have taught require calculus as
a prerequisite, and I have looked seriously at several
calculus books recently, including this one. To be clear
Marsden and Weinstein is not the only excellent calculus
book around. But it is the only one I know of this quality,
breadth, and depth that is (legally) available free along
with a free student guide. Take a look; if
you hate it you will know soon enough not to have wasted
much time (or any euros).
Finally I have to say, with all due respect for the noble
aspirations involved, that I am not a fan of Khan academy for calculus.
It may be OK for an intro to some individual topics, but
for the kind of self study you have in mind, you need
a quality printed text that has been reviewed, improved
and vetted for errors over several editions.
