About this title

Review

"'...provides a comprehensive self study course on the fundamentals of mathematics. It can be read from cover to cover or dipped into as required... Unlike many maths courses, this is actually a good read...I'm not pretending the maths is always easy, but the style is chatty and reassuring without being patronising.' Primary Maths and Science"
