Information about “ARE YOU READY FOR CALCULUS, TUTOR”
A well-written pre-calculus tutor program designed to help students
review the basics of algebra and trigonometry.
These programs give quizzes on those sections of algebra and
trigonometry essential to calculus. There are two programs, one to
prepare you for Calculus I, and another for Business Calculus. The
differences are that the quizzes are easier in the Business Calculus
section and there are fewer topics to review.
You'll have several choices to choose from. The instructions are
written so you can start using the program right away. The quizzes are
multiple-choice and the different answers are well chosen. The program
is conveniently presented to the user with different window layouts.
If you don't know how to answer a particular question, ask for help.
You'll get a help screen which covers the topic of your quiz.
If you want to take calculus next quarter or semester, this program is
for you.

Program Title: ARE YOU READY FOR CALCULUS version 2.01
PC-SIG version 1
This well-written pre-calculus tutor program helps students review the
basics of algebra and trigonometry. Specifically, this program gives
quizzes on all sections of algebra and trigonometry which are essential to
calculus. In fact, there are two programs on this disk, one to prepare you
for Calculus I, and another for Business Calculus. The differences are that
the quizzes are easier in the Business Calculus section and there are less
topics to review. Once the program has been loaded, you'll have several
choices to pick by hitting the proper letter. The instructions are well
written so you can start using the program right away. The quizzes are
multiple-choice type and the different answers are well chosen. The program
is very nice with different window layouts. If you don't know how to answer
a particular question, you just ask for help. You get a help screen which
covers the topic of your quizz and you can go through the topic as many
times as you like. If you want to take calculus next quarter or semester,
it's probably time for you to ask yourself if you're ready for calculus by
loading this program and finding out your score at the end of each review.
