The Mathematics Book: ... anyone can do it!

THE MATHEMATICS BOOK is unique!
It is a beautiful how-to-do-it book blended with a lavishly illustrated coffee table book, especially created for people who have not found mathematics easy or appealing.
It will guide the reader through fundamental numeracy areas such as fractions, percentages, algebra, geometry, metric units, and statistics. More than 2000 practice problems will help the reader master skills and develop confidence.
However, mathematics is so much more than just skill development. This book will also give the reader a global perspective of mathematics – the ideas, people, romance, history, infrastructure, and pivotal role it plays in modern society. Poetry, quotes, and hundreds of illustrations, enhance and clarify the key ideas.

THE MATHEMATICS BOOK answers three big questions.
What is mathematics?
What is the point of learning it?
What do we need to do to learn mathematics?
