The A to Z of Mathematics

Forget the jargon. Forget the anxiety. Just remember the
math.

In this age of cheap calculators and powerful spreadsheets, who
needs to know math? The answer is: everyone. Math is all around us.
We confront it shopping in the supermarket, paying our bills,
checking the sports stats, and working at our jobs. It is also one
of the most fascinating-and useful-subjects. Mastering math can
make a difference in your career, your studies, and your daily
life.

If you are among the millions of people who would love to
understand math but are turned away by fear of its complexity, here
is your salvation. The A to Z of Mathematics makes math simple
without making it simplistic. Both easy to use and easy to read,
the book covers all the topics in basic mathematics. You'll learn
the definitions of such terms as "proportion"and "hexomino," and
grasp the concepts behind algebra, statistics, and other processes.
The book's alphabetical arrangement helps you quickly home in on
any topic, and its text is rich with stimulating examples,
diagrams, and other illustrations that make the discussion crystal
clear to every reader. Everyone will find something of interest in
this wide-ranging guide to mathematics.

The perfect antidote to math anxiety, this is an invaluable
resource for parents and students, home schoolers, teachers, and
anyone else who wants to improve his or her math skills and
discover the amazing relevance of mathematics to the world around
us.
