In an engaging, easy-to-follow, question and answer format, everyday math concepts are tackled and explained in plain English (with a little help from numbers and formulas). From their long history (and hints of the future) to how we use math in our everyday lives, and from refreshers on the basics of algebra, calculus, geometry, and trigonometry to clear and concise explanations of the numbers used daily in financial and market reports, weather forecasts, games, real estate valuations, and measurements, The Handy Math Answer Book is your guide to the world of numbers.

Patricia Barnes-Svarney is the author of "The New York Public Library Science Desk Reference" and "When the Earth Moves: Rogue Earthquakes, Tremors, and Aftershocks," as well as hundreds of articles for science magazines and journals.
