4.0 out of 5 stars
More than just rules and exercises; this book talks to you.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Fear No More: An Adult Approach to Mathematics (Hardcover)
This book understands us math phobes, and explains how poor teaching methods that emphasized rote application of rules, without understanding, have created generations of folks--there are lots of us--who've forgotten the formulas and now think we simply lack a talent for math. Not so. These authors take great pains to explain the reasons for various procedures. They want you to understand what you're doing, not just blindly apply some rule (invert the numerator and the denominator, then multiply; and WHERE does the decimal place go??) that you'll forget later on. A good mix of text discussion--far more than in other introductory adult math books I've looked at recently--and exercises to practice new skills.
