    <p>I actually recommend taking a discrete mathematics course at your local university. This helped me out tremendously. Until I had this, I did not understand recursion (which is based on mathematical induction.) There are a number of other concepts which you will learn in a good discrete mathematics course which are extremely, extremely helpful (graph theory, asymptotic notation, combinatorics...)</p> <p>I also recommend taking the class for a grade. I have always noticed that this makes people take the course more seriously, even if it is not in line with a degree path or anything past the grade.</p> <p>If your local university is good, they will likely have tutoring sessions and office hours available that you can go to in order to ask questions and get clarification. These are really, really valuable and helped me learn things in a deeper manner, and more quickly, than I ever could have on my own.</p> <p>You may need to take calculus in order to meet the prerequisites, but that is something I would also recommend if you'd like to increase your mathematical literacy. This 'answer' will take at least a semester, and more like two, but I think this is the way to go. It's not an immediate solution, but you will become better at math if you perform well in these two classes (and you have a good university close by.) </p> <p>Your profile says you are in Dallas. I found <a href="http://www.utdallas.edu/~tfarage/2305_Syllabus_Spring2011.html" rel="noreferrer">this</a> course (with no prerequisites!) for you. The syllabus looks like it covered a lot of good material, and the course met at 5:30 p.m. (good for working people!). If they are offering anything similar next semester, I'd consider it. If you call up the instructor, I'm sure he'd be happy to talk with you about what he knows for summer and fall scheduling.</p> <p>This path has worked well for me. </p> <p>Good luck! </p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
