Cheap, cheerful, and very useful!
This book is designed to get you started or re-started with easy arithmetic; very quickly.
It's your way back in if you got lost at school. Many people do get lost if teaching is bad, or uninspired, and they end up with what is called Maths Phobia or Maths Anxiety. But let's crash through that verbiage and get to the nitty-gritty.
Can you add and take away? I mean, with very simple numbers, small numbers, up to 9? Of course you can! We start with nothing more complicated than that, and take it a bit further. No times tables, no division, no huge complexity.
Process - that is the buzz word. How do you get the answer, the right answer - every time. Arithmetic is about process; how you process the symbols - and get the right answer!
Where are we going to end up? Well, I'm not going to confuse you with complexity; put you off before we even get started. But we will find a simple way into some important stuff, like decimals, fractions and percentages: discounts, four for the price of three, tips, taxes - that sort of thing.
This book will encourage you into that kind of elementary but important maths, with this easy to follow guide. After that there is no limit to what you can achieve by further study.
There are plenty of examples, with careful explanation; and plenty of easy confidence-building exercises too, with answers. But crystal-clear!
