Autor Dan Celenti
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 31 ian 2014
Getting into the nation's most competitive universities requires more than a good SAT score-it requires a perfect score. The second edition of Perfect 800: SAT Math gives advanced students even more challenging practice problems and the tools needed to master the SAT math test. Covering areas including arithmetic concepts, algebra, geometry, probability, and more, the book offers exposure to a wide range of degrees of difficulty in a holistic approach that allows students to experience the "real thing," including the impact of time constraints on their performance. By emphasizing critical thinking and analytic skills over memorization and trial and error, this book maximizes the pace of progress as students prepare for the all-important test. The new edition includes 100 additional problems and more mind games to challenge students' math skills. This book includes access to an online test and an in-depth analysis tool that provides students with an assessment of their results and recommendations for an improved performance.

Notă biografică

Dan Celenti holds a Ph.D. in Applied Physics and has worked as a scientist, engineer, and educator (college professor and tutor). His wealth of experience—from conducting research in plasma physics and developing software for simulation of integrated circuits, to developing architectures for voice and data communication networks and doing research in artificial intelligence and machine learning—has enabled him to take a pragmatic and holistic approach to the study of math. Dan lives with his wife and their 21-year-old son in Holmdel, NJ. In his spare time—when he doesn't "do math" (an activity he prefers to refer to as "playing mind games")—he likes to play tennis, go skiing, play guitar, read, watch independent movies, spend time in Manhattan, hang out with his friends, and travel the world: a world in which he truly believes that "math is everything!"
