All the Math You'll Ever Need, 3rd Edition
Yes, a book that covers all the math you'll ever NEED. Numbers are everywhere, like it or not, and are a very important part of our lives. A surprising percentage of people are mathematically illiterate and have trouble doing even grade school math without using a calculator. But this book makes us use our brains so we can once more solve problems in our heads or on paper, without being so dependent on a calculator! A good refresher course for high schoolers, college graduates, or even adults, the 24 chapters go through math from the multiplication table to personal finances, to business math. Advanced word problems, interest rates, exponents and square roots, and much more are covered. Self-tests are included starting in chapter two, with at least two self-tests in every chapter. If you're inclined to skip some chapters, it's good to take the self-tests anyway, to see how well you really know that area. The 3rd Edition is updated to show recent changes in interest rates, prices, and wages. It also takes more of an in-depth look into statistics and includes information on the use of calculators and effective mental math techniques. Don't feel intimidated by numbers any longer as this text will equip you to use your head and will make you feel comfortable with everyday math problems! ~ Megan
