Mathematics often gets a bad rap for being a difficult subject, but the truth is that it’s no different from any other language. We simply need to learn how to speak it. Unfortunately, many of us struggle to understand the symbols and equations that make up the language of math. This is where Brian Clegg’s “Math: A Crash Course: Become An Instant Expert” can help.
The book doesn’t require you to solve simultaneous equations or prove geometric theorems, it simply provides an overview of what math is and what it can do. Divided into four chapters, covering everything from Arithmetic & Numbers to Applied Mathematics, you’ll soon discover that math has less to do with being “difficult” and more to do with learning a new language.
