review 1: Where you one of those in school who could never grasp math? Or always wondered why you needed it, you weren't going into a field that required it. Math for Grownups by Laura Laing is for you.Laura walks the reader through everyday math, interest rates,percentages, the cost of a loan or the return on investments.With clear and easy to understand language along with simple equations and formulas she will have you up and running in no time.For those who struggled, those who may just need a refresher course,and for the students now headed out into the world.This was a fun read and a great refresher course and one that I recommend my own kids to read as they head out into life. This will ensure they can really decide if they are getting that great deal!This is one I am keeping... more on my shelves.
review 2: I wish Laura Laing wrote this book back when I was going through school. In school, math was presented as a series of bland formulas, steps and procedures, painfully boring and apparently having nothing to do with everyday life. I never really knew why I should care about Pi until I read the lively explanation of installing a fish pool in Laing's book. This is just one of the numerous practical examples that make her strategies easily understood and remembered. This book is a great read for anyone who never really 'got' math back in school. No need to feign a headache next time the kids come to you with their math homework! It also makes a great reference to pull out when faced with everyday math problems - trying to make a wise car purchase, cut your grocery costs, or pick up enough mulch for your garden. less
