I have so much trouble in these topics, especially algebra. (even though I'm lvl 5):
Algebra
- Linear algebra
- Proving inequalities (every single theorem)
- Polynomials, functional equations and analysis
- Trigonometry and complex numbers (from basic to advanced)
- Sequences and series
Combinatorics
- Pigeonhole principle (my brain is like a pigeon in this topic)
- Colouring techniques
- Generating functions
Geometry
- Trilinear coordinates and barycentric coordinates
- Triangle centers
- Special stuffs of a triangle (Pedal triangle, 9-point circle, etc)
Number Theory
- Modular arithmetic (especially Chinese Remainder Theorem)
- Theorems about prime numbers
I'm starting to do some coding and stuffs, can you suggest me which coding language is easier, and what website I can learn coding?
Thank you!

For Geometry, I would suggest "Geometry Revisited"

I can recommend codecademy for programming. The best way to learn programming is by doing it.

better than Khan Academy's programming? I mean, all I've learned in first two hours is how to move a rectangles and ellipses and color them and stuff

i agree with you @John Muradeli khan programming is not the best

Lol my head exploded twice during my python class (just completed pyglatin and almost lost hope of doing python XD)

I also need help in Combinatorics!

For linear algebra, Anton & Rorres is highly recommended. Strang's book also comes highly recommended.
For generating functions, Wilf's GeneratingFunctionology is the go-to book.
I will go against the grain here and recommend Wildberger's Divine Proportions if you like to learn more about geometry from an affine perspective; he goes into more detail when talking about triangle centres & general triangle geometry. If you're looking for a challenge, his joint work with Le in this stuff may interest you.
I could go on and on, but with really basic stuff like this I think formal training would be better suited for you.
