If you are looking for free math resources, I found a website that offers peer-reviewed math ebooks for college and AP Courses. This website is OpenStax which is based in Rice University and supported by several foundations. Below are the links to the math ebooks.
Aside from the math ebooks on Science, Social Science, Humanities, and AP Courses are available on the website.
