The new edition retains the author's pungent analysis of what makes
math "hard" for otherwise successful people and how women, more
than men, become victims of a gendered view of math. It has been
substantially updated to incorporate new research on what we know
and don't know about "sex differences" in brain organization and
function, and it has been enlarged to include problems, puzzles,
and strategies tried out in hundreds of math anxiety workshops
Tobias and her colleagues have sponsored. What remains unchanged is
the author's politics. She sees "math anxiety" as a political
issue. So long as people themselves to be disabled in mathematics
and do not rise up and confront the social and pedagogical origins
of their disabilities, they will be denied "math mental health."
Tobias defines this as "the willingness to learn the math you need
when you need it." In an ever more technical society, having that
willingness can make the difference between high and low
self-esteem, failure and success.
