I purchased this software to brush up on my algebra skills before taking a calculus class. Titles were limited since I use a Mac, so this was just about my only choice. What a complete waste of money. The interface is terrible and the level of instruction isn't much better. The "tutor" for the more advanced levels has such heavy accent that I relied on the captions for instruction. I found several math errors in the program - not good! The sound doesn't work for some sections, and no, it wasn't my computer. I couldn't be more disappointed. I purchased several books from the McGraw Hill Demystified series, which while not as "high-tech", are vastly superior. I would guess that any of the written Algebra study guides would be better than this software, and be much cheaper!

I don't know if I'd go as far as the reviewer below but I have to agree that it's not the best. I got it to help my 15 year old son in Algebra. It isn't interactive. But... he is sitting at the PC using it now. I said, "Hey! Is that software any good." He said, "Yeah." For a 15 year old boy, that a relatively good review. He has also used the software "High School Success 2007 (which includes Math Success 2007) and he REALLY doesn't like it. Also... he and his sister have "Algebra Solved" and it has proven to be of no use to them because they can't figure out how to work it. So far, MATH LEARNING SYSTEM 2007 is about as good as I've found. But oh, would I like to find something better.

Absolutely worthless. Save your time and money and buy something else. There are plenty of good math books out there......
