Summary: A 3.8 material...
Review: CAVEAT: This is a CONCISE math software which was not intended to replace your textbooks or any other medium of information to study math but rather it was intended to be annexed to your collection of subject. The package brings 4CD's.. College Algebra(1), Pre-Calculus(2), Calculus(3) and Statistics(4) all of which are equilavent in format and display. College Algebra has many topics starting from rudiment algebra(factoring-polynomials-rules for exponents example a^b(c^d)= ac^b+d etc.. to functions-logs-exponential functions-synthetic division-conic sections(equations for geometry objects example Circle equation r^2=(x-a)^2 - (y-b)^2 ..etc now each CD explains its topics in page(s) with a few paragraphs you may run into some words that are highlighted in blue thats for you to click on it for it's terminology if your having a tough time comprehending a word(example..ax^n-1 'a' is the coefficient of the term ax^n-1). Some topics have step-by-step visual with audio and written explanation for the algorithm of a given expression, equation, radical..etc some if not all topics begin with a video to give you an idea of the subject in the 'real world' before you begin to study it and how you can apply it. Of course it has testing to put your comprehension of a given subject.. which each test questions ranges from x-z in questions so the number of questions depends on the topic. The sense of humor in this software is ok for it's educational function. I didn't encounter any problems installing it in my machine(XP) or any problems whatsoever.. I've used this software with another software(Mind Math High School) and textbooks and works well in combination since every other medium approaches different subjects differently don't expect to have a complete rigorous explanation with this software. Overall its a nice software with its limitation on certain subjects.

Summary: College Pro Calculus is NOT for Win XP
Review: I bought this software because.... of course... here it comes.... I needed help with Calculus! My computer is top of the line, with absolutely NO conflicts... recent drivers... and all that good stuff! I CAN'T GET THIS PROGRAM TO WORK IF MY LIFE DEPENDED ON IT! Maybe the tutor stuff is good (I wouldn't know), but only if you have a previus O.S. to Win XP will you be able to utilize it! This program sucks.

Summary: College Pro math
Review: Very dry.. Runs with quicktime which is an older viewer with bug *lots of bugs*. Worked for 2 weeks on XP, then I got internal error message and hardly any support from staff, so far.
not recommended.
