Beskrivelse

We live in a world of numbers and mathematics. We thus need to work with numbers and some math with almost everything we do, to control our happiness and the direction of our lives. The purpose of Coming Home to Math is to make adults with little technical training more comfortable with math, in using it and enjoying it, allay their fears of math, enable their numerical thinking, and convince them that math is fun. A range of important math concepts are presented and explained in simple terms, mostly by using arithmetic, with frequent connections to the real world of personal financial matters, health, gambling, and popular culture. As such, Coming Home to Math is geared to making the general, non-specialist, adult public more comfortable with math, though not to formally train them for new careers or to teach those first learning math. It may also be helpful for the liberal arts college students who need to tackle more technical subjects. The range of topics covered may also appeal to scholars who are more math savv, though it may not challenge them.
