Book Description:
Many people are surprised that math anxiety is documented and accepted. When you think about it though, mathematics is the one subject that continues to build upon itself year after year. Each year, we learn new mathematics that uses the math of the year before. As soon as one gap gets into our education—as soon as we are missing one tool in our math toolbox—our experience with math begins to spiral out of control. It’s something that is hard to avoid.
About the Series:
Zero Angel’s Mathematics is a series of “math help” sections designed to take the reader from no knowledge of mathematics through calculus. Although best used in conjunction with each other, they are split up so the reader that knows where their gaps and misunderstandings lay may only acquire the information they are looking for and not be forced to purchase unnecessary information.
Zero Angel’s Mathematics is one teacher’s attempt to teach the mathematics that should be being taught to students of math today. Math classes everywhere are teaching students to do long multiplication without teaching why we add; teaching cross multiplication without asking why. “Why” is one of the most important questions in mathematics and by teaching mechanical processes without considering their place in mathematics as a field we set students up to be no better than machines.
Unfortunately, this means when confronted with advanced problems, students have no chance of success.
