Description

We live in a world of numbers and mathematics, and so we need to work with numbers and some math in almost everything we do, to control our happiness and the direction of our lives. The purpose of Coming Home to Math is to make adults with little technical training more comfortable with math, in using it and enjoying it, and to allay their fears of math, enable their numerical thinking, and convince them that math is fun. A range of important math concepts are presented and explained in simple terms, mostly by using arithmetic, with frequent connections to the real world of personal financial matters, health, gambling, and popular culture.As such, Coming Home to Math is geared to making the general, non-specialist, adult public more comfortable with math, though not to formally train them for new careers or to teach those first learning math. It may also be helpful to liberal arts college students who need to tackle more technical subjects. The range of topics covered may also appeal to scholars who are more math savvy, though it may not challenge them. About the Author Irving P Herman is the Edwin Howard Armstrong Professor of Applied Physics in the Department of Applied Physics and Applied Mathematics at Columbia University. His academic activities range from research in optics and nanomaterials, to a broader range of activities in publishing technical books, teaching research and professional ethics, and presenting technical work outside the university community. He has previously written two books: the technical monograph Optical Diagnostics for Thin Film Processing and the undergraduate textbook Physics of the Human Body.
