This blog is a companion to my book, Math for Grownups.  In it, I devote a chapter to the areas of life when a little math comes in handy: shopping, working in the yard, being crafty, planning a trip and more. You get an idea of how to do some math with the skills that you already know–or were taught but don’t remember.

It’s not a stuffy, boring, overly intellectualized tome, and neither is this blog.  I want you to feel happy and comfortable and eager to do some math.  Or at least not so scared, bored or hostile.

It might be a revelation for many of you — but you can do math.  And I’d bet my last dollar that you’ll enjoy at least some of it.  (Trust me, I’m not the impulsive type.)

So what’s stopping you?  Ask your local independent bookstore to carry Math for Grownups, or click on over to Amazon or Barnes & Noble, where you can order your very own copy today!
