The Times Education Series A Level Pure Maths

The Times

The Times Education Series A Level Pure Maths is an interactive CD-Rom designed by practising maths teachers and university lecturers and is based on the National Core for Maths at the Advanced level.
Divided into chapters (which appear on the opening screen) the disc covers the following topics: algebra, functions, coordinate geometry, sequence and series, trigonometry, exponentials and logarithms, differentiation, integration, numerical methods and vectors.
You open a chapter by clicking on its icon at the main screen. When the next window appears, you'll see the chapter heading and a series of buttons along the bottom which will help you navigate the chapter, either a page at a time or by jumping to the start and end of the chapter's sections (these are accessible from the top of the screen--just click the relevant tab). The navigation buttons are the same no matter which chapter you're in and allow you to print out sections of the CD, search for particular words (and then follow them through the entire CD by clicking on the links); there are also two question buttons--quick questions which are designed to recap what you've just learned and exam-style ones which are expressed more formally and thus, more like the real thing.
Like the other products in this series, A Level Pure Maths bills itself as "Your Personal Tutor" and in the main, lives up to it. More multimedia would have made better use of the medium, but Maths probably lends itself less to this than, for example, Chemistry or Physics. One thing's for sure, students who are serious about the subject will undoubtedly benefit from this CD-Rom whether for the qualities of its structured coverage of the coursework or for the way it will help prepare for the final examination. --Rob Beattie
A Level Revision: Maths

Europress

This CD-ROM, designed for use within Windows 95 or 98 on a PC, endeavours to form the basis of revision notes for the A level Mathematics course--in particular the pure maths, mechanics and statistics modules. It is not intended as a substitute in any way for initial study or reference. Scores of sample questions, culled from actual examinations, are available by number along with full working out. Screens, which include some well-designed "cribs" (short, useful summaries presented in a visually easy to remember format) can usually be printed. This will prove to be a useful tool as part of a purposeful revision programme. Though the subjects covered are comprehensive and helpfully summarised on a few screen pages each, they are presented in no special order, so a student may find it difficult to locate, for example, clarifying information about a particular weak point in understanding. No part of the information on the CD is installed on the PC's hard disk. It's important to note that this product is in no way interactive. There are no multiple-choice questions with which a student can measure recall or performance. Also, operation is not spelled out, though it's hardly intuitive: loading a subject (or a sample exam question) can take twenty seconds, even on a high-speed CD reader, while the user is left wondering whether the program is responding at all. This product has some interesting features, but its aims and limitations should be kept in mind. --Wilf Hey
