From the Actor
I have tutored many, many people in Math through Calculus, and I have found that if you start off with the basics and take things one step at a time - anyone can learn complex Math topics. This 2-DVD set contains 5 hours of fully worked example problems in Trig and Pre-Calculus.

After viewing this DVD course in Trigonometry and Pre-Calculus you'll discover that the material isn't hard at all if it is presented in a clear manner. No knowledge is assumed on the part of the student. Each example builds in complexity so before you know it you'll be working the 'tough' problems with ease!

Not Too Bad...
This is a VERY incomplete "precalculus" course that is essentially just a guy standing in front of a white board for five hours. The material is very basic, though it is taught fairly well. The target audience is high school students with basic algebra knowledge. As far as being sufficient prep for calculus? No way. Just take a look at any modern pre-calc text and then ask yourself if the material can even be scratched in five hours. Not even close. Also, the course has no written practice problems/answers for the student to use. A more accurate title for this course would be: "Review of basic trig principles". It also includes a basic intro to logs and exponentials, but that is about it....

Excellent. Great help for novice and has-been alike but NOT an in-depth treatment..
I needed to get back into Trig and related stuff before jumping in (2nd try!),into Apostol's "Calculus". This DVD set is great to get the old juices going. It has been 36 years since I played around with Trig and now at 60 I plan to start again.

The instructor is great pointing out every step in the solution. I wish I had this crutch when I took Trig. A great buy and sure to work specially if you, like myself, do not have a natural ability in mathematics.

One major caveat. Significant aspects of pre-calc are not mentioned in this set. So don't think that just by reviewing this set you will be ready for calculus. Not by a long shot.

I am looking forward to getting into the "Calculus Tutor" set by the same instructor.

The perfect primer for Trig and Pre-Calculus!
I am a high school teacher of Calculus and there is a "hole" in the learning process between Algebra and Calculus. This 2-DVD set plugs up this hole in a wonderful manner! The teacher covers all of the essentials that are absolutely required to do well in Trigonometry and Calculus...complex numbers, logarithmic equations, radians, angles, sin, cos, tan...its all there in an east-to-understand format. If you are taking Trigonometry, Pre-Calculus, or Calclulus I can't stress enough how much of a help this DVD will be!
