Good Day, Every One!

Following is the text of a message I sent out here as part of my work. I
trust you will find the contents in some way useful for your own work.

****


I am looking for Math Books that present full and clear explanations of
concepts and methods.

My observation is that really good Math Books are rare, and that poorly
written Math Books are common. I make this statement after having looked at
several thousands of Math Books in my hand, or having reviewed them
online.

It is my considered opinion that poorly written Math Books are a major
reason why so many children and adults have such difficulty with learning
Mathematics in our schools and colleges. 

In my own case, I was 28 years old before I learned how to divide. Until
this time I was unable to work with fractions, and of course could not
understand Algebra. I enjoyed Geometry, however, because I could work with
visible figures. I used a calculator a lot.

For many years I would freeze up from anxiety when I had to do even simple
calculations. I had nightmares about going to Math Exams, and would awaken
from these drenched in sweat.

I came to believe that I was born missing a piece in my brain for doing
math, in the same way that some people are born with other kinds of
limitations.  I had no hope of ever being able to understand Math, and I
gave up on entering any occupation that required doing math on a regular
basis.

Working as a Carpenter is where I first came to understand fractions,
after thousands of measurements.  Going to Trade School is where I first
came to realize that I have the ability to learn math in general. 

Today I want to understand everything there is to know about Math. But now
I also understand that there is more to Math than any one human can
possibly know. So I content myself with knowing a little bit.

My particular focus is in developing, as Liping Ma says: "a profound
understanding of fundamental mathematics." 

I have posted links to a wide variety of "How To Do" Math Resources
Online, on EduNorth: http://edunorth.wordpress.com/math-resources-online/

I have also posted links to a variety of information that is more focussed
on "How People Learn Math," on the Math Mind page of EduNorth:
http://edunorth.wordpress.com/math-mind/     

The books listed below are in two general groups: 

A)  For those who are working in Vocational or Technical Occupations, and

B)  For those working in Professional Occupations. 

They are presented in no particular order of importance.  They have been
selected with an emphasis on price / quality considerations.

The links are provided strictly for ease of accessing more information
about the books. I do not profit from purchases made through these links.


Group A

Note: My favourite Math Book for beginners is actually a 68 page booklet
that is used for training Water Process Operators. To obtain a copy of this
little gem, talk nicely to the fine folks in your local Mine Training
Department.
