The reason I need the software is I am a college student about to take Calculus. So far I am unimpressed with Math Advantage 2010 it has small sections with animations that repeat the same examples in the lesson. Each section contains one excerise and it's always the same exercise. <br /> <br />The software I was looking for would identify the problems I have with math and contain multiple exercises along with detailed explanations. This software provides concise information that is clear and understandable but very few excerises that go along with the lesson. Furthermore, the animations are the same examples as in the lesson. <br /> <br /> Highlights are the math games, the information is presented in a clear and easily understood way. Furthermore each section is brief. It'll probabley be great just for a quick math refresher. <br /> <br />My idea of Math Advantage 2010 is a quickly put together with no real idea of what a person who is bad in math needs. <br /> <br />However, I am going to give it a few more days before I send it back. I want to at least give it a week. <br /> <br />My recommdention is for 19.99 buy it as a supplement to a good textbook-the information is easily presented but if you really need good math software with lots of examples and exercises. Save your money. <br /> <br />P.S. the calculus section is just the Idiot's Guide to Calculus book. <br /> <br /> I brought this software after reading the great reviews for math advantage 2008 and ignoring math advantage 2009 reviews.

My idea of Math Advantage 2010 is a quickly put together with no real idea of what a person who is bad in math needs.

My recommdention is for 19.99 buy it as a supplement to a good textbook-the information is easily presented but if you really need good math software with lots of examples and exercises. Save your money.

P.S. the calculus section is just the Idiot’s Guide to Calculus book.

I bought this program in preparation for my classes. However, I was disappointed. The interface is very crude; it forces your computer into full-screen mode (without an option to change) and the voice takes forever to speak and slows down the program. And when you take a quiz, its always the same 15 questions, but in a different order, so its impossible to get any decent practice. <br /> <br />Plus, when I tried to use the calculus program (even reinstalling windows XP to do it) the program didn't work at all! I've never seen a worse computer program. <br /> <br />This is a terrible program. I am currently a 16-year-old, about to take Precalculus next year.

This is a terrible program.
