In his popular Basic Maths For Dummies, professional maths tutor Colin Beveridge proved that he could turn anyone - even the most maths-phobic person - into a natural-born number cruncher. In this book he supplies more of his unique brand of maths-made-easy coaching, plus 2,000 practice problems to help you master what you learn. Whether you're prepping for a numeracy test or an employability exam, thinking of returning to school, or you'd just like to be one of those know-it-alls who says, 'Oh, that's easy!' about any maths problem that comes your way, this book is for you.

* Master basic arithmetic, fast - in no time, solving addition, subtraction, multiplication and division problems will seem as easy as tying your shoes

* Face down fractions - you'll never again feel shy around fractions, decimals, percentages and ratios

* Juggle weights and measures like a pro - whether it's a question of how much it weighs, how long (or far) it is, or how much it costs, you'll never be at a loss for an answer

* Make shapes your playthings - circles, squares, triangles and rectangles - you'll measure them, draw them and manipulate them with ease

Open the book and find:

* 2,000 pencil-and-paper practice problems

* The keys to mastering addition, subtraction, multiplication and division

* The lowdown on fractions, decimals and percentages

* Basic geometry made easy

* How to handle weights, measures and money problems

* How to read charts, tables and graphs at a glance

Colin Beveridge holds a doctorate in mathematics from the University of St Andrews. He gave up a position as a researcher at Montana State University (working with NASA, among other projects) to become a full-time maths tutor, helping adults, GCSE, A-level and university students overcome their fear of maths - a position he finds far more enjoyable than real work.
