Reviews
"An insightful look at the crucial role mathematics plays in understanding the complexities of today's society. . . . The author's pleasant, conversational style shows that such insight can be developed without obscure or high-level computation. . . . Any reader, but especially parents, politicians, and professional educators, would benefit from reading this book. Summing up: Highly recommended. All levels/libraries." -Choice Magazine, "Full marks to Jeffrey Bennett for delivering exactly what his title promises. This is not the math your teacher (probably) said you would need in adult life but never did; it's the math you know you need-but likely don't have." -Keith Devlin, PhD, author, The Math Gene, and the Math Guy on National Public Radio, "Full marks to Jeffrey Bennett for delivering exactly what his title promises.

Synopsis
How can we solve the national debt crisis? Should you or your child take on a student loan? Is it safe to talk on a cell phone while driving? Are there viable energy alternatives to fossil fuels? What could you do with a billion dollars? Could simple policy changes reduce political polarization? These questions may all seem very different, but they share two things in common. First, they are all questions with important implications for either personal success or our success as a nation. Second, they all concern topics that we can fully understand only with the aid of clear quantitative or mathematical thinking. In other words, they are topics for which we need math for life--a kind of math that looks quite different from most of the math that we learn in school, but that is just as (and often more) important. In Math for Life , award-winning author Jeffrey Bennett simply and clearly explains the key ideas of quantitative reasoning and applies them to all the above questions and many more. He also uses these questions to analyze our current education system, identifying both shortfalls in the teaching of mathematics and solutions for our educational future. No matter what your own level of mathematical ability, and no matter whether you approach the book as an educator, student, or interested adult, you are sure to find something new and thought-provoking in Math for Life .

Item shipped in a box, great!, however, the box was much bigger than the book with nothing to hold the book inside so it got banged around inside the box during shipping. Used boxes that fit better or packaging material.

- r***r (1)- Feedback lasciato dall'acquirente.Ultimo annoAcquisto verificatoArrived sooner than predicted, packaged well and in decent condition. The cover and back cover are pretty beat up, but the inside is undamaged. Description was not totally accurate (for example, the page count was different--but it doesn't appear that any pages are missing), but for the price point, it can't be beat. I would definitely buy from this seller again.The Paralegal Professional (4th Edition) by Goldman, Thomas F. (N° 196447639550)
