avansc, I feel like that was a great diagnosis, and that book would probably help him greatly. Looks like somewhere in the Algebra II/Trig (as far as classes are concerned) neighborhood.

I really don't think your going to be able to teach him this. Math isn't just something you can ask questions about on a forum, get answers, and get good at. You can ask questions about the parts you don't understand, but not to learn it all. My advice, get an e-book, if you get stuck I'm sure most of us could help you out there.
i think he has some of the basics down. i mean you have to know a little bit about algebra to solve for 2 variables.
but yeah, i agree, he needs a book. REA has some great books. this one will be a good source.

Would that book teach me the basics? So I can at least read the formulas?
