solution for teachers as well as students. This title is aimed squarely

and the interface is easy to use.
Report and Conclusions:
I was quite pleased with the title and believe this product is useful
to any student taking introductory algebra classes. The concepts are conveyed
in a clear and understandable method, and the examples are illustrated
intelligently. The content is thorough and well prepared.
Teachers may find the content helpful in developing their own lesson
plans, as well as complimenting their lessons. The software is easy to
install and use, and should require a minimum of teacher intervention.
The management system allows record keeping, topic assignment, and accurate
assessment students' needs and progress.
I recommend this product to students and teachers.
