How to Get A's in High School Math and Science is a book that fills a gap in high school learning. The gap is twofold. First, students do not have knowledge of what these courses are truly about prior to taking them. This book provides an easy to understand overview of each subject so the student will know what the subject is about in class from day one. Even during the course, this book would be valuable because it gives the student a total picture, which makes learning in the classroom easier. Each subject is a chapter in the book and is a mini course in itself. In addition, there are just the right amount of problems and solutions provided to orient the student for the course. Second, the summer prior to taking the six math and science courses (algebra, geometry, chemistry, physics, trigonometry, and calculus) is a gap in itself. Students have forgotten their previous math to some degree over the summer and have gotten out of the study habit. Each subject would only require about a half hour per day over a two week period to learn, but the problems should be gone over again and again. Football players practice football in the summer to get a jump start on the game in the fall. This book does the same thing for each course. This book is like getting a 10 minute head start in a 5 k race. In addition, there is a method revealed in the book that will truly show students how to get the most out of their study time and classroom learning experience towards obtaining that A. This book is also ideal for parents who feel inadequate in these subjects. This short course will provide a parent with a solid understanding of the subjects so they can help their child and at the same time help themselves.
