Giveaway: Math for Grownups Books ~ 4 Winners (closed)
Ever wish you’d paid more attention in math class? We’ve all been there: Staring at two different brands of laundry detergent, wondering which is the best deal, trying to size up Mom’s tomato sauce recipe for a party of 10, figuring out the fuel efficiency of that new car, or how to budget for that dream vacation. The fact is math crops up in a variety of everyday settings—from the grocery store to the craft room. But you don’t need to break into a sweat when it’s time to calculate a tip. Forget higher calculus—you just need an open mind.
MATH FOR GROWNUPS: Relearn the Arithmetic You Forgot From School (Adams Media, a division of F+W Media; July 2011) by Laura Laing makes math manageable, by providing an adult refresher and real-life context for math—with examples ranging from calculating your monthly mortgage payment, to figuring out if that new refrigerator will fit in an old kitchen.
We have grown up and forgot Math. Now, math is a big deal for us when it comes to calculate as a percentage. You can start few basics with this book and understand the company’s revenue and bloggers can also learn to understand blog statistics. This book is very useful for those who wants to know about the statistics, stock market and leading market.
You get an idea of how to do some math with the skills that you already know–or were taught but don’t remember.
It’s not a stuffy, boring, overly intellectualized tome, and neither is this blog. I want you to feel happy and comfortable and eager to do some math. Or at least not so scared, bored or hostile.

Would love this I don’t have no adults to watch over my sister during homework time, so I’m her parent (I’m 21). I help her with all her projects, and homework. This will be great for me I’m not to strong in Math.

I don’t have a particular story but I do have a hard.time a lot. It has gotten to the point that I just send them to my husband for help with their math homework. It’s bad. We have 3 in high school & 1 in middle school. I really wish i could be more help. In a few years.I have 1 that will start kindergarten & it will be useful in the future as well as now. Thanks

I think the current best math story has to be trying to help the kinder with homework and realizing that they don’t do math problems the same way anymore. There were new methods that had me and my husband scratching our heads…and we’re both nerds!

Between me and my husband we’ve owned more MP3 players over the years than I can count, including Sansas, iRivers, iPods (classic & touch), the Ibiza Rhapsody, etc. But, the last few years I’ve settled down to one line of players. Why? Because I was happy to discover how well-designed and fun to use the underappreciated (and widely mocked) Zunes are.
