Review: Would recommend to anyone wanting to learn. - Loving this book. I'm going cover to cover and I'm honestly surprised by the small pieces of information that I never knew... Names for things, easier formuli for equations etc. Really good stuff Review: Great book HIGHLY RECOMMEND - If your like myself and you have no math skills what so ever, you struggled with math your whole life, and your looking to improve your math skills, I can almost promise you this book will have you doing math you’ve never even imagined you could. I personally worked through the entire book from start to finish (which was a little painful at times because I already knew some of the stuff at the beginning of the book) but I did that so that I could really get myself into “math mode” and one week after doing this book, I’m doing algebra, long division, exponents, graphs, integers, fractions and percentages like it’s nothing. I swear to you if your reading this and looking for a good book to start with I would highly suggest this. Some of the reviews point out a few grammar errors and whatever, get over it. This book is amazing and has helped me so much. I can’t stress enough, your best bet is to do what I did and go start to finish (although you don’t need to, you can just jump to the categories you need help with if your looking to just brush up on specific topics, which is another reason this book is great is you don’t HAVE to go start to finish you can just jump). Amazing book. Highly recommend, there is also another book that goes with this book I have both and it really helps to go through both of them.
