Well thought out and applicable introduction... Great Refresher.

I spent a long time looking for a resource like this. As someone who clearly did not pay enough attention in high school or college and someone who then rarely used mathematics I find this book a great refresher. It is easy to understand with some of the best explanations I've ever seen of the principles behind why algebraic expressions are the way they are. Recently I have been trying to learn to program (verses learn a programming language) and realized that in even some of the more basic introductions there were many things assumed about my mathematical knowledge that sadly did not hold true for me. While I knew there was an order of operations I could not have told you what it was or why. And when they began to talk about algorithms I became completely lost. But this book walked me back through much of this and I am now able to move forward again. I highly recommend this book to anyone wanting a practical and applicable knowledge of basic mathematics.
