Thought id post a small review on the OAT Media CD-ROM's, I bought 'Part 1' of both 'Essential Maths' and 'Essential Physics'
I havent looked much at the Physics one yet (Leaving that untill I have got the basic mathematics out of the way
).
The maths one is great, there are 32 lessons covering the following:
Number & Algebra:- General Number Work
- Parts of a Whole
- Use of Symbols
- Equasions
- Formulae
- Working with Fractions
- Working with Decemals
- Working with Percentages
- Working with Radios
- Symbols, Roles & Manipulation
- More Decemals & Fractions
- More Percentages
- Symbols, Rules & Manipulation 2
- More Equasions
- More Forumulae
Shape, Space & Measure:- Angles
- Circles
- Permimiter
- Volume
- Measures
- More Angles
- Triangles
- Area
- Right Angled Triangles 1 (Pythagoras' Theorem)
- Right Angled Triangles 2 (Sin, Cos & Tan)
- Measures 2
- Vectors
- Perimiter, Area & Volume
- Further Trigonometry 1 (3D Work)
- Further Trigonometry 2 (Sine & Cosine Rules)
- Further Trigonometry 3 (More Sin & Cos)
- Vectors 2
So as you can see there is a wide range of subjects you can chose from and they each come with a test in which you can chose how many questions you would like to answer on that given lesson. I havent worked my way through all the lessons yet but if the first few is anythign to go by then each lesson will last about a hour! so great value for money if you ask me.
The Physics topics are:
Electric Charge- What is Charge?
- More about Charge
- Flow of Charge
- Electrostatic Case Studies
Fundamentals of Electricity- Current
- Voltage
- Power
- Introduction Alternating Current
Electricity in the Home- Household Electricity
- Power and Energy in the Home
Electrical Circuits- Electrical Components
- Ohm's Law
- Conductors & Insulators
- Components Transfer Energy
- Series & Parallel Circuits
- Electronic Choices
Magnetism- Magnetism
- Electricity & Magnetism
- The Motor Effect
- Electromagnetic Introduction
And thats only Part 1 of each subject, you can get Part 2 of Physics already and Part 2 of Maths is still in the making, so theres lots to learn if you have the time and motivation.
