Wanted to brush up on my math skills 20 years after high school.  I've tried several other books but the way they were written left me feeling overwhelmed.  I was able to jump right into this and re-learn much of what I had forgotten as well as learn some new things I had never learned in school!<br><br>Richard W. Fisher's book is written in the simplest way possible.  You aren't overwhelmed by half a page of mathematical formulas followed by a complicated explanation and practice quiz.  Each mathematical concept is broken down into it's most basic components.  A few sentences of instruction are given and then you are given some examples of how it looks on paper and then you are given some practice questions so you can try the formulas yourself.  In this way you are given time to build confidence and test your grasp of the formulas by having a top to bottom understanding of how they work.<br><br>This approach puts you are in a good position to understand the terminology and symbology of the lessons you are studying as well as future lessons.<br><br>If you ever struggled with math or are a slow learner this is the book for you!
