Product Description
Scientific Notation, the Metric System, and Unit Conversions are used in every branch of math and science including Algebra, Calculus, Physics, and Chemistry. In the course of solving problems the student will need to convert between various units in order to solve the problem. For example, if solving a Physics problem it may be necessary to convert between centimeters per second to kilometers per hour in order to correctly solve the problem. Frequently it is confusing on whether it is necessary to multiply or divide by the appropriate conversion factor in order to convert units. This DVD will teach you bulletproof ways to arrange your units and cancel them so that you are never left guessing how to convert to the proper units needed for the problem at hand. This DVD course teaches the techniques of the most common unit conversions by fully worked example problems. This DVD is not intended to be a reference DVD for all unit conversions that you will encounter in class. More importantly, the strategies associated with unit conversions is emphasized such that the student will be comfortable applying any conversion factor necessary to solve the problem - even those not found on this disk. This DVD is essential for any student taking Math, Science, Physics, Algebra, Chemistry, or any other class where knowledge of Scientific Notation, the Metric System, and Unit Conversions is needed. DVD Chapter Contents:
Section 1 - Scientific Notation
Section 2 - The Metric System and SI Units
Section 3 - Unit Conversions Involving Length
Section 4 - Unit Conversions Involving Area
Section 5 - Unit Conversions Involving Volume
Section 6 - Unit Conversions Involving Speed
Section 7 - Unit Conversions Involving Mass and Weight
Section 8 - Unit Conversions Involving Density

It's About Time! December 2, 2008
Time Keeper
When I was an undergraduate majoring in physics, no one - not any Prof - dealt with a way to convert from one system of units to another. From US or British to Metric, switching between them, calculating within a given system, it was always, "find it in a physics or math book." All too often this inability to UNDERSTAND the 'technique' behind ANY conversion led to wrong answers due to the problems not being set up properly. Now, as a 59 years old Ph.D. research physicist, I viewed this disk and found that little 'technique' which has enabled me to get rid of those massive tombs of 'conversion-factors' books that can drive anyone crazy regardless of the formal education one has.
If anyone buys this disk and studies it carefully, he will walk away not only with the ability to convert any quantity from one system of units to another, but he will UNDERSTAND *WHY* he is doing it.
Additionally, this ability to successfully convert between systems - and even within any given system - will enable him to see into the 'physicality' of a physics - or chem problem for that matter - and better understand the nature of the phenomenon or phenomena he is studying or working with. I can't recommend this tutorial strongly enough.
Better check out this guy's math DVD's as well. The algebra through advanced Calculus are unbelievable: you will not only understand HOW to set up and solve the most complex mathematical expressions and equations easily, but better understand the abstraction behind the equations and manipulations necessary to arrive at a solution. Together, these instructional aids are the very best I ever saw, anywhere, at any time. Highly, HIGHLY recommended!
