Reader Reviews
There are many different mathematics software packages available for use, from the high powered symbolic computation packages to basic tutorials. This is a basic tutorial in pre-algebra through calculus II, and there is enough material here to keep a student busy for a long time. There are several hundred lessons covering the standard material in basic math, algebra, precalculus, geometry, business math, statistics, how to write about mathematics, mathematical games and calculus. Each lesson has a link to a set of problems and that problem set a link to the solutions. Several animation files are also available to demonstrate some of the more complex operations that are difficult or impossible to represent using static images. The company web site contains a large number of online tests that can be taken as many times as desired. There are 21 interviews of people in a wide variety of professions, few of which would leap to mind when you think of using mathematics at your job. Some of the people interviewed are a boat builder, personal trainer, triathlete, triage nurse and furniture restorer. The wide spectrum of applications that they have for mathematics is a powerful argument in favor of how important it is to learn mathematics. Links to the interviews are included in the lessons where appropriate. In terms of the quality of the lessons, they are very good, but not outstanding. While there will no doubt be times when a student will need the assistance of a human, in general it would be possible for the motivated person to learn using only these lessons. Instructors can easily incorporate the use of this package into their courses as a supplemental learning tool. The package also contains a textpad that can be used to perform basic computations. Somewhat difficult to learn at first, it was necessary for me to consult the animated tutorials before I was able to use it. Nevertheless, it is straightforward to use and has a look-and-feel that is much like Microsoft Word. This is a package that covers at least four years of mathematics. It is noted as being the best-selling high school mathematics package in the United States and from what I have seen, there is ample reason to believe it. There is also a good deal of material that college instructors will find of value. Published in Mathematics and Computer Education, reprinted with permission.
