Category Description for Life of Fred:

Life of Fred (LOF) is an unconventional series of math texts that seem accessible and friendly, especially for students who dislike traditional programs. According to Dr. Schmidt, the author, this series is designed to teach you the math you need to know without repetition, redundancy, and a multitude of problems to work. LOF follows the storyline of Fred's life while incorporating solid math concepts and skills. Motivated or independent students will appreciate this series, as well as gifted math students who might need a challenge. Written to the student and intended to be self-teaching, the author prefers that students use these with very little help from you, so they can learn to study and understand on their own. Even the solutions (found in the text) are addressed to the student. In fact, there's a lot of actual instruction in the solutions, which students should read after trying to solve problems on their own. Math in a story context can sometimes make more sense to students than stand-alone math concepts - especially if it's an entertaining story! Students do two books per year up through pre-algebra; beginning with algebra, one book per year.

I want to brush up on Calculus before my kids take it. When they get close to calculus, they'll read this book.

My daughter is taking calculus next semester at college.<br />She requested that I order this so she can read it ahead of time & will already understand much of what will be presented. She has been a trusting fan of Fred for years!

These are the best math books on the market for self learners who enjoy reading! Great books in our home school circle. Students often read the book over one weekend(obviously not doing the problems). The author has given us a source for DELIGHTFUL learning!

For years I have wanted to brush up on my calculus. I bought the elementary set of Life of Fred for my math-phobic kid. The series is wonderful. I'm looking forward to improving my understanding of calculus (after 50+ years).

We love life of Fred!
We love life of Fred and have used all the books. My daughter went from Math being her least favorite subject to her favorite once we switched to life of Fred. She worked through the Calculus book and then took Calculus in the college setting. Although the information was presented in a different order she was so happy to have learned it first with Life of Fred because it made so much sense for her and made it an easy A when taking it in college.
