Math struggles? This book makes math fun again!Most math and study guides are as dry and difficult as the professors that write them. In The Humongous Book of Basic Math and Pre-Algebra Problems, author W. Michael Kelley enjoys being the exception. It is full of solved problems, but along the margin Kelley makes notes, adding missing steps and simplifying concepts. In this way questions that would normally baffle students suddenly become crystal clear. His unique method fully prepares students to solve those difficult, obscure problems that were never covered in class but always seem to find their way onto exams. There are also annotated notes throughout the book to clarify each problem—all guided by an author with a great track record for helping students and math enthusiasts. His website (calculus-help.com) reaches thousands of students every month.
