Scared of mathematics? Don’t be, for help is just a click away. In fact, www.math.com promises to make the study of maths easy and fun. The site is very informative and covers a wide range of topics from the most basic concepts like addition and subtraction to more advanced topics like the fourier series, transforms, etc.

The site will also help you with your homework and boasts a host of calculators such as the prime number calculator (where if you type in a number, it will tell you whether it is a prime number or not) and tools like online converters. The latter will help you to convert meters into inches or vice versa. Plus, there are interactive games as well as a glossary of maths terms. A ready-reckoner formula list is also provided to help in last-minute exam preparations.

The website caters to teachers as well. They can utilise the site to supplement their teaching material and curriculum and to provide extra practice lessons for students.

Apart from this, www.math.com also helps students prepare for the maths section of SAT. The test format, scoring, how to register for the exam, question pattern and best strategies for cracking the exam are discussed at length. It also provides a set of practice questions for those aiming to take the SAT.

The best part is that an index bar at the top of each page for the whole website and individual sections makes navigation easy and makes it user friendly. The website also offers tips to allay maths anxiety and suggest techniques that would help organise your study time better. The only irritant to this site is a deluge of ads.
