Consider it... December 16, 2005

I bought this software back in 2001 and at that time found it to be a bit too dry. Still, I was desperate for anything to inspire my kids to do math via PC.
Jump to 2005, I am taking a college Calculus course at night and lost in a jungle of understandable theory dependant on long forgotten basics: basic algebra, basic trigonometry etc.
I found a fairly helpful text book and guess what?
Yes, I loaded this program and ran the 1st CD.
It became my late night back-up buddy...
It covers practically everything I need and the price is OK.
Outdated but just in time...

The software is defective. The claimed manufacturer and tech support provider no longer accepts claim for this software. In order to use the software and download it I am instructed to list my name with Knowledgeadventure.com per use of modem which goes to the company "Knowledge Adventure." However, as Knowledge Adventure Inc., is no longer is affiliated with this software and has no idea who is (but will give plenty of run around) I can't sign in and download the software. Therefore the software is useless. I suggest the ceasing and desisting of selling this product. To claim this product currently has any affiliation with Knowledge Adventure as you are led to believe by the packaging and manual is a total lie!!!

pros and cons July 30, 2003
5 out of 6 found this review helpful

pros// the good thing about this program is well, it DOES teach you something. there's a lot to learn. they explain subjects to the last word. there's a calender for you to plan when you want to learn what.

cons// ok... it's boring. flat out from my mouth. there is a TON to read. from time to time a mini video would pop out. but it's probably two for every SUBJECT. they explain subjects, yes, but not everything. they don't explain how to solve a problem. ok, they do. but not so you can understand EVERY SINGLE STEP.

pointer:: if you buy this, i suggest* buying another reference book or CD. this is just a suggestion from me. if this program is easy for you when you buy it, they you obviously don't need another source.

Very simple/helpful, but with no availability to download product updates, it will (like most other programs) be obsolete within a short time. And apparently Knowledge Adventure has either merged with another company or disappeared almost without a trace, because the company that claims to handle their products is choosing to disavow all Knowledge of this particular item...

Otherwise if you don't mind not being able to get product support then the program seem to be easy to follow & a great refresher too...

I wish I knew how ALL the cds were, but the few that would install were okay. The encyclopedia is very complete, and the typing is pretty good.
