Another GREAT QDNOW program!!!
Wow! Another fantastic program from qdnow.com!!! Great for all ages! Stimulates your brain!
I just can't say enough how much I love this program!!!
Visual Math
I find this series very useful for students who need a different way to think about Math. The visual that is described and repetition of examples during the podcast are extremely helpful and go beyond memorization. Thanks, Math Dude!
A first-rate introduction to math for the non-math major
The Math Dude podcasts seem like a great way to learn about math for those of us who aren't mathematically inclined. After listening to the first few episodes, I've got a new visual way to think about numbers and basic arithmetic. I look forward to seeing where he'll go from here and i'm definitely making this one of my subscriptions.
