About

An engaging, accessible and friendly introduction into how numbers work (and why we shouldn't be afraid of them). Do you know your isosceles from your equilateral? Your fractions from your percentages? And who was this Pythagoras guy, anyway? Puzzled already? I don't blame you... But fret not! This book will see you through. In this brilliant, well-rounded guide, maths expert Rachel Riley will take you back to the very basics, allow you to revisit what you learnt at school (and may have promptly forgotten, *ahem*), build your understanding of maths and provide you with the essential toolkit to gain confidence in your numerical abilities. Packed full of working examples, fool-proof methods, quirky trivia and puzzles to try, this book is an absolute must-read for anyone and everyone who ever thought maths was 'above' them. Because the truth is: you can do it. What's more, it can even be pretty fun too.
• Last year brought its own unique challenges when the pandemic hit, but one which has stuck with us is home schooling — and in the process, millions of parents have suddenly found themselves having to teach subjects they haven't thought about in years.
• Maths has always been one of those tricky subjects that not everyone has got on board with. Currently, the UK populace lags behind in numeracy relative to so many of our international counterparts, and I'm sure we all know someone who has said, 'Oh, I can't do maths'. But this book would offer a solution.
• This book would have a HUGE appeal for people from all persuasions — bridging that generational gap and empowering people to find the joy, satisfaction and mindfulness of being able to work with numbers.
