SUCCEED WITH MATH:
Every Student's Guide to Conquering Math Anxiety
Chapter 1. Making Math Work for You

You are going to discover some new ways of thinking about mathematics, of reading mathematics, of studying mathematics, of talking the language of mathematics, and of appreciating the power of using mathematics. You will also be taken on a few adventures, first to some of the more interesting ideas in elementary mathematics that you may not have thought about before now, though you had all the requisite equipment. Then, you will get a look at the offices and laboratories where work involving mathematical application is currently going on. There, at the frontiers of three different fields–social science, population genetics, and business management–you will see for yourself how mathematics has become one of the most important tools of modern life.
Each of the chapters in this book is self-contained, which means

primarily interested in mathematical applications, you might want
to start with part III. If you want to know some more about familiar mathematics...
