I know there are programs for helping little kids learn in Edubuntu. I'm taking Calculus 2 this semester, but my Calculus 1 class was 3 years ago. I'd like to find some software that can help me review. I'm thinking of something that would maybe explain, say, the Power Rule in Derivatives, then give a few practice problems and tell you if you're right or wrong, then if you're wrong it could give the correct answer and maybe show the steps to get there with little explanations.

I don't know if such a thing exists (for Linux) or not. Does anyone have any suggestions?
