Customer Reviews of Mind Power Math: High School

Not much fun, but excellent teaching
I used this as a revision when I went back to school after a few years of not having done any math. I expected to do no more than refresh my memory, but I was thrilled to find this software really shows you new ways to approach and understand the math, so I came out with a much better understanding than I ever had before. <

>There is a downside. One might expect learning software to be a little more fun than reading from a book. This really isn't. In fact, there's not really any point to this being in software form rather than as a book, as it's not interactive, doesn't have any multimedia and more or less reads like a book. Still, it's a wonderful way to get a deeper understanding of high school level math.

prior review was harsh
The problem with installation was a compatability issue. In the accessories on Windows XP they have a compatabilty wisard that got the program running. This progam may be just fine but it is for Windows 98 and older machines. This software was previously called "The Princeton Review: Math Library"

Covers Everything!
From Pre-Algebra to Calculus, this collection of CDs covers every level of math that is taught in high school. Don't let the "high school" label fool you--the Calculus CD is good for college kids and the Pre-Algebra and Algebra discs are suitable for middle schoolers, especially with some schools now teaching Algebra I in eighth grade. <

>The examples are presented well, and are worth writing down. There are enough practice problems on each section to supplement what is in a textbook, and they too are well done. <

>One thing to note--I bought my MPM in May 2003, and at that time the Calculus CD did not have a Mac OS X native version. It runs fine through Classic, though.
