Understanding Maths: Basic Mathematics Explained

by Graham Lawler

If you missed out on mathematics education at school, then this book is a must. Graham Lawler has taken basic mathematics topics that may seem baffling but he provides devastatingly simple but powerful techniques that will help you understand the mathematics and be able to use it in your daily life. If you are in a training course where basic mathematics is involved, then this book is a must. The famous author and scientist Sir Arthur C Clarke ("2001 A Space Odyssey") has been so impressed with the author's work that Sir Arthur has written the foreword to this edition of the book. This is the ideal book for primary student teachers, trainees on apprentice courses and parents who want to help their own children. Now extended to include information on spreadsheets and personal development profiles, this is a very popular and highly successful book.

Shows simple mathematical problems in an easy and understandable manner.

[CF · Rating 3 out of 5]

Very good introduction to mathematics, useful for anyone who is perhaps coming back to studying after a number of years, or who is needing help with their childrens mathematics work.

Lawler is simple, yet has flair and explains things thoroughly.
