Math is more accessible than ever with this handy guide to essential concepts. Using step-by-step instructions, handy illustrations, and engaging explanations, Math Made Simple communicates one of the toughest subjects to a new generation of students. This colorful guide covers key topics taught in schools, and also inspires readers to dive further into the fascinating world of mathematics. Ten chapters cover the fundamental topics in mathematics, including statistics, measurements, and algebra. In addition, each chapter contains short quizzes, allowing readers to test their progress. This guide will develop readers’ ability to solve problems and gain insight into how much mathematics shapes the world around them.

Presents the Dirichlet problem for harmonic functions twice: once using the Poisson integral for the unit disk and again in an informal section on Brownian motion, where the reader can understand intuitively how the Dirichlet problem works for general domains. This book is suitable for a first-year course in complex analysis

NEW from Math Essentials! The perfect companion to the popular No-Nonsense Algebra, Algebra Word Problems Made Simple gives additional help to those who struggle with word problems. Includes a handy glossary and Algebra Resource Center. FREE online video tutorials are available for each chapter.

Mathematics discusses the fundamentals of four common branches of Mathematics: Arithmetic, Algebra, Geometry, and Trigonometry. This book contains a number of special features, wherein the rest of the text is fully metricated in accordance with the recommended International System of Units (S.I.), which is the modern form of the metric system. The discussion of logarithms and trigonometry is very straightforward and involves none of the usual mystery associated with these topics. The last two chapters offer an entertaining initiation into the Theory of Probability, a subject of increasing importance and endless fascination. This text also includes tables, among which are the Decimal Equivalents of Sixty-Fourths; Measures, Money, Simple, and Compound Interest; Squares and Square Roots, Cubes and Cube Roots; and Common Logarithms, Sine, Tangent, Secant to 4-figures. The care in presentation and detail of discussion makes this book invaluable as basic groundwork for all mathematical study, possibly as a companion reader to one of the recognized courses such as GCSE or comparable examinations. This book is also readably enjoyable for anyone working independently, whether seeking to recapture forgotten knowledge or studying Mathematics for the first time.

Basic Algebra and Advanced Algebra systematically develop concepts and tools in algebra that are vital to every mathematician, whether pure or applied, aspiring or established. Together, the two books give the reader a global view of algebra and its role in mathematics as a whole. The presentation includes blocks of problems that introduce additional topics and applications to science and engineering to guide further study. Many examples and hundreds of problems are included, along with a separate 90-page section giving hints or complete solutions for most of the problems.
