I haven't been in a math class in 13 years and was concerned I wouldn't remember enough to follow along. I was happily surprised with this book. It covered everything I remembered and so much more.

It starts with basic topics of math then builds on them. The main topics are: General math, Fractions, Algebra, Geometry and Problem Solving. All information is presented via simplified text and examples. There is no more than 3 pages covering a topic or equation and the page layout/format is pleasing to the eye.

I know this book's intention is to aid mental math but this is the textbook you need for the school issued math textbook. This is a fabulous resource. I plan to buy a copy for our library and share it with my colleagues from the Math Department.

3 things I will highlight to Math Connoisseurs:
- It covers compound interest
- It covers Vedic Math.
- Someone has a formula for figuring out the day of the week you were born. I am somehow crazy excited for this.

I personally really enjoyed this book. I am a self proclaimed math nerd too. I love finding shortcuts to doing math in my head. It's nice to see these tips written down in an easy to follow book. I would love to purchase this for my elementary library for teachers to use as resource or for stundents who particularly like math.
