Product Review

Whether you're shopping in the supermarket or playing the stock market, a command of arithmetic is necessary in order to succeed in today's society. But many people have problems with even basic math. Enter Math Smart, an irreverent, easy-to-follow guide that begins with the basics of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division and goes on to the scary stuff like exponents, square roots, geometry and algebra. Math Smart will help you break down any complicated equation into its basic parts and won't require you to memorize dozens of long functions and equations.

For students, Math Smart provides a great review for the math achievements and the math sections of the SAT, GMAT, GRE and ACT, as well as being a helpful supplement to confusing math texts. It includes drills throughout, reviews at the end of each chapter, and a glossary of terms.

This review is from: Math Smart (Princeton Review Series) (Paperback)

This book is really fairly good at introducing easy to remember math solutions. The author takes nothing for granted and teaches from the beginning so that you may "learn" the material. The only down fall is that there are a couple of type-os in the algebra section answers which really drove me crazy second guessing myself. Fortunately for me, I work with engineers who confirmed my answers. Having said that, the book redeems itself with usefulness. I give 3 1/2 stars.

I'm not too far into the book yet, but already I think it's great. The voice that the text is written in is so supportive, which may sound silly, but for people like me who are intimidated by math, this encouraging voice really helps. Things are explained well and the book makes me feel that I really can learn this stuff.
