Wow, has this book been helpful in our house! If you're like me you may have forgotten many of the specific math concepts you learned in Geometry, Algebra 1 and 2, Trig, and the sciences, yet you have to help your children with their homework and test preparation. Or maybe you never did learn them. Don't worry! This study guide has very easy to learn, illustrated explanations. The book is extremely well laid out too, and it's simple to find the section you need. It's also Internet-Linked and recommends websites for further study if you want it. Use the book and websites to strengthen skills for exams or SAT's.

Listen to what one woman said on an Usborne message board recently:
"This book is so necessary for parents to help their kids.On Friday I heard that my eldest son got only 56% on a Math quiz and had flunked "completing the square" in Algebra 3. I was able to look up what this meant and communicate to my husband who was with this son at an away Hockey tournament in another state. The problem was fixed by the end of the weekend! I was also able to review all about quadratic equations (stuff you really wanted to forget forever) and help him. He just reported that the test today was easy. Thank you to the Illustrated Dictionary of Math."

One other wonderful feature -- it's in a flex binding that makes it hold up really well, at the same price it had when it was only available in paperback!

I too love this book. I showed it to my husband, who is a professor, and he said that it looked like a great tool for many of his students who were still struggling with math in College.
