| Q: |
What do the videos look like? |
| A: |
Watch
a sample video now! Our videos are designed to be viewed
on a computer. The video quality will differ depending on
whether you are watching the videos from online or from a
CD. The CD videos may appear to be of higher quality in
comparison to the online videos due to the various constraints
of Internet connection speeds. RealPlayer is
required to view the videos. For more information on our
videos, please take a look at how the
videos work. |
| |
|
| Q: |
How long is each video lesson and
how many problems are worked? |
| A: |
The video lessons are designed to be short,
about 6 to 10 minutes each. This way, students will not lose
interest, and are able to view the same video numerous times
if needed. The number of problems that are worked out depends
on the lesson. A typical video lesson will have between 2 -
10 problems. |
| |
|
| Q: |
Why are the CDs from MathTV.com
only a fraction of the price of math videos found on other
web sites? |
| A: |
Using digital video technology and a standard
web browser, we can deliver almost 10 hours of video lessons
on a single CD. The cost of CD duplication is minimal compared
to videotape duplication. We simply pass our savings on to
you. See the price comparison of
some of the companies currently offering math videos. |

|
| Q: |
Do you offer textbooks to go along
with the videos? |
| A: |
MathTV.com does not currently sell textbooks.
However, textbooks which closely follow the same structure
of the video lessons found on the CD-ROMs and subscription
can be purchased on Amazon.com. See
the list of available books. |

|
| Q: |
I am currently taking Algebra 1.
How much will your Algebra 1 CD help me
with my class? |
| A: |
This depends on many factors. Students who
only use the CD the night before
a test will not see the same improvement as a student who uses
the CD
regularly. Also, different students, respond better the different
learning methods. For optimal performance in your math class,
follow our recommended study skills. |
| |
|
| Q: |
Who is the instructor featured on
these videos? |
| A: |
The instructor featured in all of our video
lessons is best selling math textbook author Charles P. McKeague.
Mr. McKeague's video lessons have accompanied his many college
textbooks for over 20 years. Over the years, thousands of students
have studied and learned algebra from his books and videos.
Now his clear, step-by-step approach is finally offered to
everyone as a stand alone product. |

| Q: |
Will the CD-ROMs work on a Mac? |
| A: |
At this time we cannot verify with 100% certainty that the CD-ROMs will work on a Mac. There have been reports of the CDs being incompatible with newer versions of MacOS X. For this reason we cannot recommend the CDs for Mac users. Once the CDs have been tested on both platforms and a solution has been found, we will update the information on our web site. |
| |
|
| Q: |
What if I don't like the videos
after I purchase the CD? |
| A: |
We are so confident in the quality of our
math videos - if you are not happy or should you decide that
the videos are not a good solution for you, we will refund
your money. We offer a 15-day money back guarantee. |
