We all use numbers every day, yet many people are uncomfortable
with them, finding them daunting and difficult. Others treat
numbers as a practical tool they can handle quite well, while
failing to appreciate their most amazing qualities.This book is the
antidote to number-phobia. As with learning to swim, you'll never
look back: these are skills you'll use for the rest of your life.
If you think you're good with numbers already, you'll soon discover
what you've been missing: the endless fascination and beauty of
numbers, and - at the more practical level - a whole range of
techniques and shortcuts you never knew existed.Mastering Numbers
brings the subject to life, replacing the atmosphere of the
classroom with the wonder of the magician's workshop. In learning
to enjoy numbers, we discover a multitude of practical skills -
everything from understanding statistics and the odds gamblers face
to the interest rates on savings and ways to maximise your returns.
Never again need you flounder in a business meeting or an encounter
with your bank manager - and if the chance arises to chat to him
more casually, you could impress with stories about pi, prime
numbers, Fermat's theorem, and much else besides.Full of enjoyable
exercises, puzzles, demonstrations and self-testing interludes,
this is a book to instruct and give pleasure.
