This might sound silly - but I've found the best way to learn anything about math is to start w/ Wikipedia.

Search for a topic you are interested in, like Calculus. Start there. Spend a few hours reading and clicking through links, finding books that are cited, etc. If you don't understand something, usually some link will have the background information you need.

Do this every week or so.

Wikipedia is great for math topics. Also, PlanetMath (http://planetmath.org/) and MathWorld (http://mathworld.wolfram.com/) are both good free online math encyclopedias as well.
