Arithmetic the Easy Way

by Edward Williams

Everybody uses arithmetic on virtually a daily basis, and this book serves as a handy brush-up for general readers while it also helps students master basic skills that they need before moving up to high-school-level math and beyond. It reviews addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division, then moves on to calculating with fractions, decimals, and percentages. A concluding chapter reviews units of measurement and word problems. Chapters are filled with short practice exercises, all of which are answered at the back of the book. The book features many tables, charts, and line illustrations. Barron's Easy Way books introduce a variety of academic and practical subjects to students and general readers in clear, understandable language. Ideal as self-teaching manuals for readers interested in learning a new career-related skill, these books have also found widespread classroom use as supplementary texts and brush-up test-preparation guides. Subject heads and key phrases that need to be learned are set in a second color.

Look, if you knew maths but have forgotten it and now you want it again for anything related to your needs - this book is for you !

If you donot know any prior mathematics and wanna learn Arithmetic, this book is for you but with a mentor

But if you are like searching for Mathematical Beauty - I am sorry to say book is too practical and it's not for you, so better leave it

Book have lived upto it's purpose, that is to help you done Practical Mathematics in real life
Some Short tricks book after this may help you more doing Arithmetic quickly once you know all rules from this book

Book totally neglects Negative Number, it's only about Whole Numbers and fractions and decimal - which is good
It deals with Addition, Subtraction, Multiplication, Division, Percent and some measuring units
As I said, book all above stated operators only with whole numbers, fractions and decimals which is indeed practical

I have taken it upon myself to try and tutor myself so I dont need so many remedial math classes in college. I checked this book out at the library and I was pleasantly surprised. I explains and breaks down very good and there are tests you can take at the end of each section to see where you are at.
