About the Author
Steve Leduc has been teaching at the university level since the age of 19. He earned
his Sc.B. in theoretical mathematics from MIT at 20 and his M.A. in mathematics
from UCSD at 22. After his graduate studies, Steve cofounded Hyperlearning, Inc.,
an educational services company that provided supplemental courses in
undergraduate math and science for students from the University of California,
where he lectured in seventeen different courses in mathematics and physics. He
has published four math books, Differential Equations in 1995, Linear Algebra in
1996, The Princeton Review’s Cracking the GRE Math Subject Test in 2000, and
Cracking the Virginia SOL Algebra II in 2001, as well as a physics book, The
Princeton Review’s Cracking the AP Physics B & C Exams in 1999. Through
Hyperlearning, Steve has directed the creation and administration of the most
successful preparation course for the medical school entrance exam (the MCAT) in
California, where he has taught mathematics and physics to thousands of
undergraduates. Hyperlearning merged with The Princeton Review in 1996. He
currently owns two-to-the-eleventh-power CDs and has seen Monty Python and
The Holy Grail, Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, and Blade Runner about two-to-
