 Anyone can learn math with this step-by-step book! November 20, 1999

I needed to pass a math portion of a job placement test, and had not been to school in 20 years! I took this book and in one week learned all the math needed to pass the test. Very easy to understand, and you can go at your own pace. Funny too!

I bought this book because my job search requires me to take civil service exams again and again for various jobs. The exams are full of mathematics (even if the job has nothing to do with that subject). I needed a math refresher course in the worst way when I realized that I'd forgotten my long division and multiplication, the more difficult stretches of the multiplication table, percentages, and anything to do with fractions. This book teaches you these things (and much more) in a very nice, courteous, non-intimidating, non-condescending manner. I really appreciate it. I don't want to become a mathematician. I just want to recall enough to get by. Thank goodness this book helps you do that. I definitely recommend it. I bought it together with a similar refresher math book and found out that this one is the only one you really need.

This book can be used by anyone. If we had been taught to do math like this in school we would have all done a little bit better!!! This book broke everything down so anyone could understand the simple approach to mathamatics. It taught me things that I had forgotten and also helped me with things that I was never taught in school. I have never read a book like this.
I was sold when I read other review's. When I read the book I was still amazed at the simple detail that Steve Slavin provided throughout the entire book. We thank you for our NEW knowledge on math!!!!

This a beautiful resource book with easy to understand lessons, funny stories, and no unneccesary math terms! This book has taught me long division, long multiplication, interest rates, and tutored me a bit in finding the area of circles! I keep this book handy during class to read in my spare time so I can excell in my mathematics skills. This book is great for going ahead, turoring, and for adults who need to brush up on math!
