The Mathematics Survival Kit : How to get an A in Math by Jack Weiner
The Mathematics Survival Kit, Third Edition, provides fundamental techniques and clear explanations for 178 mathematics topics. Using their combined fifty years of teaching experience, the authors have compiled topics that plague students from all levels of the math curriculum, from basic arithmetic, algebra, and geometry (junior high and high school) to limits, differentiation, integration and much more in first year calculus. Throughout the book, each topic is presented in an easy-to-read and easy-to-follow one page format. The writing style is humorous, accessible, and student-friendly. Underlying every page is this always implicit, often explicit message: 'You can do math.' In particular, the HOW TO GET AN A IN MATH and HOW TO GET EXTRA HELP strategies are invaluable.
