Math for the Frightened: Facing Scary Symbols and Everything Else That Freaks You Out About Mathematics - Softcover
Synopsis
Mention the word mathematics and most peoples reaction will be one of general bewilderment. Theres something about its language of symbols and equations that many find intimidating. The result is that maths and science books for the general public usually avoid the use of symbols, meaning readers never get to fully appreciate the true power and elegance of mathematics. Math for the Frightened takes the opposite approach, gently introducing readers to the main concepts of mathematics and painlessly demonstrating how they are expressed as symbols, why symbols are used, and what can be achieved by doing so. If youve ever been curious about mathematics but afraid of its complexity, this book will help you overcome your fears and begin to appreciate math in all its glory.
