This review is from: Math Advantage 2008 [OLD VERSION] (DVD-ROM)

On retirement, I decided to review math from scratch to calculus to keep my brain active and also to see how much I had forgotten after 35 years. This tutorial has clear & concise pages of theory and examples with mini-videos on some topics. In practice, the student selects a topic, scrolls down the black on white page, and then clicks to the next page. The sequential steps in the equations are highlighted by different colors. This method does require some effort on the student to read and comprehend the information given but is much faster than reading a text book or taking a formal course because it just presents the "must know" concepts without extensive theory, group study, & homework involved. For this reason I believe it is more appropriate as a review mechanism for someone in school or already formally schooled in the subject rather than a student never before exposed to the math. The level of sophistication for presentation of the material is adequate for highschool students, somewhat basic for adults, and there are few "unnecessary" distractions with exception of the algebra booster, which has a "futuristic" theme that is somewhat annoying to adults. I am now reviewing Trig and I still recommend the program as an effective review tool or student learning aid.

This is the best investment I have ever made when it comes to purchasing learning tools and software. It has everything anyone could use to earn better grades in both highschool math classes and an excellent review for college level classes. If your like me, I havent taken a math classes in over 5yrs and remember very little from my highschool math classes because they were so boring and at times confusing. This software brings the concept of learning to life, it gives you and your child a reason for learning these concepts and lets you know how it can be helpful for you in the future. I have given this tool a much deserved 5star rating
