While teaching adults mathematics, the authors realized that math-anxious adults need a text that acknowledges the math knowledge they've acquired and builds on it. The result can be used both for self-study and as a classroom text in developmental math, college-level continuing education classes, and community adult education programs.Intended for students in developmental maths, continuing or adult education, this text teaches traditional maths in a non-traditional way - avoiding simplistic problems to include instead some problems from 19th-century maths books and real-life problems, such as bank calculations.
