Maths in Bite-sized Chunks
Chris Waring
Chris Waring’s accessible guide is designed for anyone who is keen to overcome a fear of mathematics. Employing numerous examples, common-sense explanations, fascinating asides and clear diagrams, this volume breaks down seemingly inscrutable mathematical concepts into easy-to-follow steps, explaining simple arithmetic and number, ratio and proportion, algebra, geometry, statistics and probability. Reassuringly, Waring emphasises real-world applications of mathematical principles, championing the great mathematicians of history in the process.

Mathematics for the Million
How to Master the Magic of Numbers
Lancelot Hogben
Since it appeared in 1936, this comprehensive course has helped demystify mathematics and clarify the practical applications of everything from simple arithmetic to calculus. Taking an unusual approach to the subject, Hogben sets mathematics in the cultural context of its intended use, whether to meet the needs of ancient pyramid architects or provide the celestial geometry required to navigate by the stars.
