"Imagine
what it would be like if your teacher sat down and typed up
detailed lecture notes for the lessons that you needed to learn,
including charts, diagrams and worked sample problems. Then he
or she attached these notes to practice quizzes, exams and answer keys
with the solutions all worked out and explained. Finally, the
teacher handed you the whole package, so that you could review your
daily lessons at home. That is basically what we have done with
the Homework Helpers series."
Greg Curran, author of Homework Helpers: Chemstry
