A MODERN MATHEMATICS COMPUTER CD
AT A REALLY PROBLEM-SOLVING PRICE:-
Aust$25.00 in Australia, £10 STERLING in the U.K., NZ$25.00 in New Zealand, CAN$20.00 in Canada, 15 EURO in the Euro Zone Countries of the European Union, or US$20.00 anywhere else in the world!

Even in Classical Times, when Euclid was teaching Mathematics at the University in Alexandria, there was a feeling around that Mathematics should be applicable to real-life problems. This feeling has never been stronger in the community than it is right now; and for the Mathematics teachers and students of today, the development of the ability to use Mathematics as a PROBLEM-SOLVING IMPLEMENT in our increasingly complex modern world ... is now a major item on the agenda - both for the real-life needs of the immediate future, and for public examination purposes!

THE "PROBLEM SOLVING" COMPUTER CD IS DESIGNED TO TRAIN STUDENTS TO FORMULATE SIMPLE EQUATIONS APPLICABLE TO REAL-LIFE SITUATIONS... AND TO GO AHEAD AND SOLVE THESE EQUATIONS.

IT GENERATES ABOUT 8 MILLION SITUATIONALLY WORDED MATHS PROBLEMS, AND THESE CALL FOR OVER TEN THOUSAND DIFFERENT SIMPLE EQUATIONS TO SOLVE THEM. MOST TEACHERS OF MATHEMATICS ARE NOT WORD-SMITHS, AND THEY DO NOT HAVE THE TIME TO INVENT SITUATIONALLY WORDED MATHS PROBLEMS MANUALLY ON THIS SCALE.

MATHEMATICS TEXTBOOKS TOO HAVE THEIR OWN INTRINSIC LIMITATIONS: EVEN THE BEST AND BIGGEST OF BOOKS CANNOT DEMONSTRATE THE SOLUTION OF ALL THAT MANY PROBLEMS LINE BY LINE FOR YOU, NOR CAN THEY MONITOR YOUR EFFORTS INTERACTIVELY. BUT THIS COMPUTER CD CAN DO THAT!

THE FOLLOWING IS JUST ONE RANDOM EXAMPLE OF THE NUMEROUS SITUATIONAL MATHEMATICS PROBLEMS CONSTRUCTED INSTANTANEOUSLY BY THIS DISC.

"DANNY HAS SOME FIREWORKS. 7 OTHER BOYS ARRIVE, AND HE SHARES OUT THE FIREWORKS EQUALLY, SO THAT ALL 8 BOYS HAVE THE SAME NUMBER OF FIREWORKS. THEN, 2 MORE FRIENDS ARRIVE, AND FROM THE FIREWORKS HE HAS LEFT FOR HIMSELF, DANNY GIVES THESE LATE ARRIVERS ONE FIREWORK EACH. THIS NOW LEAVES HIM WITH JUST 34 FIREWORKS REMAINING FOR HIMSELF. WITH HOW MANY FIREWORKS DID DANNY START OUT?"

Any secondary school student who cannot formulate and solve an equation to supply the answer to the above question within - say - two minutes ... probably needs this computer CD fairly urgently!
