Not just notes on-screen, this powerful study aid gives you real answers to your study needs and more study and test-prep tools for your money. By harnessing the power of StudyWorks by the makers of Mathcad--Today's leading technical calculation software--it will help you master college algebra and learn from live calculations. In less study time, you'll achieve greater comprehension, learn to solve problems more quickly, and improve your grades. Inside, you get hundreds of fully solved problems along with summaries of key theoretical points, hyperlinked cross-referencing, and more. And with cutting-edge StudyWorks technology, every number, formula, and problem is completely interactive. You can change variables in equations and watch as StudyWorks powerful engine recalculates the solution flawlessly every time! Based on the one-of-a-kind guide to college algebra from Schaum's popular Outline Series, your Electronic Tutor includes sections on fundamental operations, algebraic expressions, quadratic equations, linear equations, progressions, probability, and infinite series. Other subjects covered include simultaneous equations, problems with one or two unknowns, logarithms, partial fractions, permutations and combinations, inequalities, mathematical induction, and the binomial theorem.

Mathematics
"Mathematics: The New Golden Age offers a glimpse of the extraordinary vistas and bizarre universes opened up by contemporary mathematicians: Hilbert's tenth problem and the four-color theorem, Gaussian integers, chaotic dynamics and the Mandelbrot set, infinite numbers, and strange number systems. Why a "new golden age"? According to Keith Devlin, we are currently witnessing an astronomical amount of mathematical research. Charting the most significant developments that have taken place in mathematics since 1960, Devlin expertly describes these advances for the interested layperson and adroitly summarizes their significance as he leads the reader into the heart of the most interesting mathematical perplexities - from the biggest known prime number to the Shimura-Taniyama conjecture for Fermat's Last Theorem."--BOOK JACKET.
