Synopsis:
'Every school classroom has a special flavour. And of all of these flavours, it is often that of the maths classroom that has left the bitterest taste. In here, you face the ordeal of quick-fire questions designed to expose and embarrass the weakest among you. In here, you open your little blue exercise book, and continue to fill it with row after row of calculations, whilst every furrowed brow and frustrated sigh signals the same unspoken message: 'I don't understand!' Does this sound familiar? This book will banish bad mathematical memories and put the fun back into sums. Lawrence Potter's encouraging words will demystify numbers for even the most obstinate of non-believers. Includes invaluable advice on how to cope with everyday mathematical encounters: from filling out tax returns to playing the lottery.
