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

Suitable for AS and A2 level students, The Times Education Series A Level Biology is an interactive CD-ROM prepared by biology teachers and university lecturers which supports the National Core for Biology at an Advanced level.The program's divided into eight chapters and covers molecular biology, cell ultrastructure, the "genetic code", variation and inheritance, energy and living organisms, transport systems (i.e., the body's "plumbing") homeostasis, and ecology and ecosystems. As each chapter appears on the screen, it's also read out aloud--a technique which can help keep wayward minds focussed on the task in hand. Chapters are divided into different sub-headings (the energy chapter for example, contains sub-sections covering adenosine triphosphate, photosynthesis and respiration) and each includes a button underneath the main screen which will take you to quick questions, designed to give students the chance to brush up on what they've just learned, and 'Exam questions' which mimic the more formal style of question you're likely to find at the end of the course. (Those who just love a test can jump straight to both sets of questions from the main menu as well).
As you work through the chapters you'll find plenty of tables and diagrams to support the text--on occasions there are also some natty 3-D animations (for example, explaining how semi-lunar valves prevent blood from re-entering the heart once it's been forced out into the arteries)--but really, given the subject matter, it would have been good to see more.
Like other programs in the series, the uncluttered interface is easy to understand; you can skip through chapters using the tabs at the top of each screen or use the buttons beneath to jump to the beginning or end of a chapter, and chapters can also be printed out. Finally, by clicking on the Information button on the main screen you can get printable summaries of both the AS and A2 Level Biology courses.
In terms of content, this is an excellent and supportive study aid though it's hard to understand why more multimedia elements weren't included.--Rob Beattie
