From the Author

Truly a survival guide for those who "forgot how to . . ."
Math Facts was written in the vernacular. For eight semesters the words that students used to best understand mathematical concepts were collected on 3x5s and eventually published as the spiral-bound Math Facts. The book is the centerpiece of a developmental course taught in community colleges with a companion workbook. Math Facts has been successful beyond my wildlest expectations.
