Great book for people with math phobia

As a former university-level math teacher, I have used this book multiple times to help adult students get over math phobia. It presents basic concepts in an organized, simple way. Learning math only makes sense when taken on as a series of logical, sequential steps. If you find yourself struggling with using everyday math, there's a good chance you missed one of those steps during elementary or jr. high school. If that's the case, this book is for you. It fills in the blanks that you might not even know you have. Math really can be made simple, and this book shows how. It's an oldie but goodie.

Reader from Paradise, Texas

I personally have tried the formulas for square roots and higher roots and have been successful at obtaining accurate answers. Although these formulas are difficult and mistakes can easily be made, they are accurate if one is careful and pays attention to detail. Although the dot used in the formula is a separator and not a decimal. This may be the cause of inaccurate answers.

Mathematics made simple

This is a helpful math book,it covers a lot of subjects from basic math to some pretty difficult topics.My only problem with it is that there are a bunch of wrong answers in the "answer" section,but it just made me hunt and work that much harder to find the correct answers.I hope they do a revision of this book because I would like to give it as a gift,but not at this time with all the mistakes in it.
