A lot of people going back to school for a masters degree haven't been in school for a long time. Things become fuzzy in one's memory. Doing simple arithmetic like when shopping and figuring out tax sticks with a person, but what about calculus? What about probability functions and computing factorials? Some of the subject matter that Parkinson elaborates on so effectively are terms that I forgot I had learned in the first place. I completed calculus, analytic geometry, and other math classes with complex functions, but after 30 years, it's kind of left the building with Elvis. Parkinson covers the subject matter completely, effectively, and with an easy-to-follow method that even mathematically-challenged users can use to conquer the GRE. His original questions are challenging and he provides a sound method for going way above being simply "up to speed." If you're studying to take the GRE, don't leave this resource behind. It will save your behind.
