• Capable
• Perplexed

Math advocate Joe Poirier provides you with some unconventional and insightful wisdom about math in a direct, authoritative, thorough, clear, down-to-earth, and mathless manner. If you’re looking for a quick fix to your math woes, this book is NOT for you. However, if you want to look at math from a different perspective, learn what math is, what to do with it, the reasons to keep at it, and, perhaps most importantly, how to study it properly, then this book will help you achieve these. Its contents will hopefully give you some math direction and purpose and increase your overall academic efficiency and effectiveness. The wisdom provided in this book is what your parents, guardians, and/or teachers might never have told you or ever will, and what you may never learn anywhere else.
