Nothing evokes(唤起)Alaska like a whale exploding out of the water or an eagle pulling a silver fish from the river．Combine these images with high mountains, brilliant icebergs and wonderful meals and you really do have the Best of Alaska!
Join us for an unforgettable 7-day excursion(远足)to the last frontier! Additional highlights include：a scenic flight over Glacier Bay National Park, a rafting trip through the heart of the Chilkat Bald Eagle Preserve, historic Skagway, a whale watching cruise and the company of knowledgeable local guides．

JUNEAU：Juneau, the state capital, is rich in culture and scenic beauty．It is here that we start and end our trip．
HAINES：Haines is a small community located along the fiords(峡湾)．The natural beauty and expansive wilderness found here have made Haines a premier center for adventure in Alaska．In 2004, Haines was listed by Outside Magazine and National Geographic Adventure as one of the best places for recreation and living．The activities listed below are located in Haines．
ALASKA INDIAN ARTS：Alaska Indian Arts is a nonprofit corporation(公司)dedicated to the preservation and continuation of traditional native craft and culture of the Northwest Native Tribes．Alaska Indian Arts is also the headquarters for several of Alaska’s outstanding craftsmen and artisans．We spend a few hours learning carving, native beading(串珠饰)and culture from these master artists．
SKAGWAY：Skagway is famous for its role in the Klondike Gold Stampede over 100 years ago．Today, it is a historic yet lively town, which still reflects its gold rush roots and contains colorful shops．In Skagway, we stop by the Klondike Gold Rush National Park Visitor’s Center and ride the White Pass Yukon Route Railway．

The Basics of Math－Made Clear
Basic Math introduces students to the basic concepts of mathematics, as well as the fundamentals of more tricky areas．These 30 fantastic lectures are designed to provide students with an understanding of arithmetic and to prepare them for Algebra(代数)and beyond．
The lessons in Basic Math cover every basic aspect of arithmetic．They also look into exponents(指数), the order of operations, and square roots．In addition to learning how to perform various mathematical operations, students discover why these operations work, how a particular mathematical topic relates to other branches of mathematics, and how these operations can be used practically．
Basic Math starts from the relatively easier concepts and gradually moves on to the more troublesome ones, so as to allow for steady and sure understanding of the material by students．The lectures offer students the chance to “make sense” of mathematical knowledge that may have seemed so frightening．They also help students prepare for college mathematics and overcome their anxiety about this amazing－and completely understandable－field of study．
By the conclusion of the course, students will have improved their understanding of basic math．They will be able to clear away the mystery(神秘性)of mathematics and face their studies with more confidence than they ever imagined．In addition, they will strengthen their ability to accept new and exciting mathematical challenges．
Professor H．Siegel, honored by Kentucky Educational Television as “the best math teacher in America,” is a devoted teacher and has a gift for explaining mathematical concepts in ways that make them seem clear and obvious．From the basic concrete ideas to the more abstract problems, he is master in making math lectures learner-friendlier and less scary．
With a PhD in Mathematics Education from Georgia State University, Dr．Siegel teaches mathematics at Central Arizona College．His courses include various make-up classes and a number of lectures for future primary school teachers．
If the course fails to provide complete satisfaction to you, you can easily exchange it for any other course that we offer．Or you can get your money back．
