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. 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 conversion factors that you will see in your classes. More importantly, the strategy associated with unit conversions is emphasized such that the student will be comfortable applying any conversion factor ecessary to solve the problem -- even those not found on this disk.
