1.0 out of 5 stars Narrow Scope of Algebra, October 25, 2001

By 

"antigonethelast" (Sunnyvale, CA USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Standard Deviants Action Learning CD-ROM: Algebra (CD-ROM)

I rated this product "1" which is unfair because
I did not consider carefully enough the product
description, "Teaches functions, algebraic properties,
linear equations." This cdrom covers just this narrow
scope of algebra. Given this, the price is too high.
(Sorry Mr. Bezos. It's not your fault.) I received
another package at a lower price that included
a web-based tutorial and covers algebra entirely.

In all fairness, the slivers of algebra covered
in this cdrom are covered very thoroughly.

4.0 out of 5 stars Just like Algebra DVD, May 13, 2002

Elena (Tucson, AZ United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Standard Deviants Action Learning CD-ROM: Algebra (CD-ROM)

If you buy this for your PC be aware that it is amost identical to the Standard Deviants Algebra DVD. It is a timely, entertaining and effective program for learning the basics of algebra without the hassles. However it is not complete alone. Great as a suppliment, also, this is one of the better Standard Deviants products.( I liked chemistry, statistics, and all the other math DVD's too)The best algebra resource I have found. Worth the money if you need to learn or review algebra.
