An engaging survey of the fundamental concepts of mathematics and
the many ways math is used in everyday life. This is a stimulating
and simple reintroduction to all the math we all learned in high
school but have forgotten, using many examples of how math applies
to the real world. Highlights the math topics that are most
relevant to everyday concerns, such as how statistics can be
misleading and how interest on savings accounts accrues at
different interest rates. Also explores the most fundamental
mysteries and amazing properties, such as why two negative numbers
multiplied together make a positive number and why fractions can be
easily multiplied but not easily added. Uses a multitude of
examples from real life such as how extremely large numbers are
used to write unbreakable computer codes and how the slope of a
curve is used by biologists to calculate the rate of growth of
species. It walks the reader step by step through simple solutions
to each problem explored.
