So the other day I was burning time doing a little bit of Spanish practice on the free version of duolingo when I thought to myself “wouldn’t it be fantastic if something freely available like this existed that comprehensively taught mathematics up to a university level”.

Does something like this exist and if so is it any good? Ideally the software I imagine is totally comprehensive; offering not only tutorials on everything from the absolute fundamentals to advanced topics but also problem generators that allow people to apply the lessons, practice and test their understanding under a wide variety of possible circumstances. Does such freeware exist?

A readily available, approachable and most importantly freely available resource of this kind could be a huge boon for spreading mathematical education all over the world.

    I can recommend Brilliant which, despite being nagware, still offers lots of free courses on mathematics, statistics, informatics, and natural sciences. Only the first batch of lessons for each course is free, but there is unlimited free practice and an on-site code editor
