5.0 out of 5 stars Finally, real calculus fun!, July 13, 2001

I purchased the Standard Deviants calculus 1&2 tapes. Frankly, I was very disappointed when I watched them. I was disappointed, mainly because it contained the simple calculus, not the difficult calculus. Now this Standard Deviants tape is worth your time and money. If you're obsessed with mathematics, like me, and you've mastered algebra, trigonometry, pre-calculus, and calculus, this is the video for you!

This Video is not only entertaining and makes dry math almost fun. It is a key educational investment for anyone involved in fields from Business to Bio-Tech as well. EXCELLENT!

This review is from: The Standard Deviants: Differential Equations [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This was not a good title for me. I got it back when I was in college(2001?)hence the VHS format. In any format this was a good attempt but fell flat. I wish I could have reviewed the product before I purchased it so that I could see how frenetic the material was. Anyone who has gotten to the point of studying Differential Equations has some decent math under their belt and some discipline to study. A few gimmicks or tricks might be necessary but not as many as they have in the video. It is very distracting and at times hard to keep up with. It tries too hard to be fun with a crazy storyline and a lot of flashing lights and effects. I didn't learn anything from the video, nor did it clarify what I already knew. It was an amusing diversion but not as helpful as I thought it'd be.
