San Francisco, September 1, 2005 -- Hotmath, Inc. announced today that its award-winning website, www.hotmath.com, now supports over 100 middle school, high school, and college math textbooks with tutorial explanations to the odd-numbered homework problems.
The Hotmath website provides explained, step-by-step solutions with hints
for the actual odd-numbered homework problems in math textbooks used in grades
6 through calculus. This helps students to understand and complete their
assigned homework and come to class prepared. With Hotmath, students are
able to get immediate help when they are stuck, so they can continue working
on homework assignments at any time (24/7).

Janet Tedesco, a New Orleans high school math department chair, said, "Hotmath is a terrific homework resource, and is far more affordable for parents than the alternatives."
