Description

A Mind for Numbers: How to Excel at Math and Science (Even If You Flunked Algebra) Struggling with math or science? You're not alone. Many people find these subjects intimidating, but they're not impossible to master. In fact, with the right approach, anyone can develop a "mind for numbers". Engineering professor Barbara Oakley knows this from personal experience. She flunked her way through high school math and science courses, but then re-tooled her brain to master the subjects that had given her so much trouble. Now, she shares her secrets for learning effectively in this book. Contrary to popular belief, math requires creative, as well as analytical, thinking. By stepping away from a problem and allowing your brain to relax, you can unlock new solutions and approaches. This book applies its learning strategies not just to math and science, but to any subject where you struggle. Whether you're a student or looking to change careers, A Mind for Numbers offers the tools you need to succeed.
