Adults use mathematics extensively in work even though they may
deny it or dismiss their numerate behaviour as common sense. Their
capacity for mathematics is invisible to them and confirms their
'non-maths person' self-perception, which has negative consequences
for their life choices. In Adults, Mathematics and Work, the
authors tackle and explain a number of paradoxes related to the
curious relationship between adults and mathematics. It
operationalises the benefits of workplace doctoral research by
providing a set of the tools to review this mistaken
self-perception in order to make workers' abilities available for
development. It also provides a systematic way of uncovering and
recognising informal and non-formal learning to support
employability and re-employability in an increasingly fluid
work-landscape.
