Good for people who like me had poor math skills.

Peter Roth's Book Review

All-in-all, a good book. I still had some difficulty in reading the author's explanations.

Great Book for Teachers

I was looking for a supplemental text to teach my 7th graders about practical math. This is it! I use this book to develop applied projects for students. This book helps answer the question: "When will I ise this stuff?"
