Following the successful model of the prior edition, which sold over 119,000 copies, this book assumes no prior knowledge of mathematics and makes accessible all of elementary math, including the basics of algebra and geometry. It features up-to-date terminology plus added explanations of how to make calculations both with and without a calculator. Thousands of questions, with fully worked out solutions or delayed answers, help students learn how to solve the kinds of problems commonly encountered on exams and in real life.
