Math Tutor DVD Video Series in Basic Math Through Advanced Calculus Earns Accolade
Houston, TX (PRWEB) April 23, 2008 -- Math Tutor DVD was honored by the Family Review Center with the presentation of the 2008 Editor's Choice Award in educational math products. Math Tutor DVD's extensive offering of math tutorial products beginning with basic math through advanced university calculus "walks you through multiple problems, rather than quickly showing you the steps and moving on", according to award judge Serena Phillips.
The review team agreed that the DVD series deserved the award, saying "I like the simplistic manner and ease in which he teaches. This makes math much less scary and much more doable. You can actually see what is going on and understand how it all works together."
The Math Tutor DVD series of DVDs began in 2004 with the release of the Algebra Tutor (http://www.mathtutordvd.com) and over the years has continued to produce quality math help (http://www.mathtutordvd.com) on DVD that is both affordable for students and effective at teaching. This is accomplished by teaching the concepts by working example problems rather than long dry lectures. The DVD series now consists of 14 courses available in subject such as Basic Math, Algebra, Word Problems, Trigonometry, Physics, Probability and Statistics, Introductory Calculus, and Advanced University Calculus.
Students use the DVDs as a supplement to their class, in effect getting a private tutor in their home for a fraction of the cost of an in-home personal tutor. Most importantly, the DVDs are effective.
As one reviewer stated, "Math Tutor DVD gives you real life examples of the math issues you face. Walking you through problem after problem, giving you tips along the way. These videos offer hours of tutoring for a very moderate and affordable price. You would spend hundreds of dollars hiring a tutor to give this much instruction. Now you have an excellent resource to go to at any hour of any day, time and time again."

Teach Your Kids Algebra: The Quadratic Formula
When I first saw the quadratic formula, I was amazed that there existed such a thing no less a way to derive this elegant formula. For those who remember, this formula gives a sure-fire way of getting the solution to those things we call quadratic, or second-degree equations, in mathematics. For many students, this formula is a nightmare of grand proportions and its mastery seems no more probable than striking it rich with the lottery. However, with some novel techniques and some different approaches, the mastery of this formula—which provides a linchpin to understanding algebra on a deeper level—becomes a walk in the park.

The science of fluxions was Sir Isaac Newton's terminology for the new field of science known today as calculus.

For years, there was friction between the two countries, England and Germany regarding which country was to take credit for the discovery of calculus.
Helping Parents to Build Mathematicians
Real math has almost nothing to do with what is taught in schools. Far too much time is spent teaching children numeracy when they should be learning mathematics. Children are bored by repetitive lessons that turn them off and stop them from acquiring the real mathematical thinking skills that will set them up for the rest of their lives. However a teacher from Worcestershire is bucking this trend, and helping parent to build the mathematicians of the future.
