Does anyone know of any good free resources for beginners to learn advanced college level math?

You can check out free video lectures from MIT on any conceivable subject. They even have exams and quizzes posted (with answers so you can grade yourself). -- Or other universities like Harvard, if you're feeling fancy.
-
With a library card you can get the textbook for free.
-
If you're having trouble, you can always get free tutoring and homework help at http://physicsforums.com.

If you're too lazy to walk to the library (it is quite a walk), you can get e-books for free online almost everywhere, or check out websites like http://tutorial.math.lamar.edu/ ; that covers Calculus I, II, III, linear algebra, and differential equations.
Voila! -- you saved yourself thousands and thousands of dollars that you'd've had to spend the first half of your career trying to pay back, possibly working crappy jobs that are nothing like what you imagined you'd be doing after graduating.
But you won't have a shiny title like the rest of us will... sucker!

Thanks that is the type of information I was looking for!
Bah I'm a programmer we don't need shiny titles. I just want a better understanding on more complex maths.

This question is really hard to answer without a more concrete understanding of your background and your goals. People can have very different definitions of "advanced college level math."
