Super 3d animations? [Posted on 2000-03-15] This product has "super 3d animations". It says so on the box... and they do include cardboard 3d glasses. If you remember the "3d" movies requiring these, I need say no more. This animation did not work well on film, the limited resolution provided by a computer monitor is even less suited to it. I could have overlooked this flaw, but the content is insufficient as well. There are 9 subjects covered by the title, ranging from pre-algebra through calculus, yet there is only one CD. This allows for only a brief overview of each subject (including "super 3d animations") - this might be fine for review, but does not justify the claim "ultimate mathematics skill building resource" printed on the box. All in all, I would recommend against wasting your time with this one.
Solid and helpful [Posted on 2000-04-14] I found this edition of Studyworks a helpful resource. Coming from a background of only high-school algebra, I wanted to take a physics course that involved calculus. I have been regularly progressing through the levels of mathematics this program offers and I am quite pleased by the careful explanations and, so far, the amount of material included in the software. Some of the "extra" features are less than awe-inspiring; I wouldn't buy this software just for the "math animations" but there ARE some extra features worth mentioning, such as an extensive math dictionary and a nicely run website to back up the software. A nice resource for the beginning math student at a fair price.
