Reviews for Math for Grownups are coming in, and they’re good.  (Not one of them was written by my mother.  I promise.)  Here’s what people are saying:

“Laing gives readers the tools they need to get more confident with managing numbers.” — Elizabeth Harrin, The Money Files

“If you are one of those people who either never grasped math when you were younger or simply need a refresher, “Math for Grownups: Relearn the Arithmetic You Forgot from School” is a worthwhile read.” — Charles Rotblut, GoodReads

“I never really knew why I should care about Pi until I read the lively explanation of installing a fish pool in Laing’s book.” — Debbie, GoodReads

“If you grab any book before the school season starts, it should be this one, especially if you have kids entering middle school and high school. I’ve rarely seen a more important book for adults, but in a time when you even have to pass a Math test for an application… this book is the book for us grownups.” — Outnumbered 3 to 1 

“When I sat down to read Math for Grownups, I expected to flip through the first few boring pages. Two hours later I looked up at the clock, amazed that I had gone through two-thirds of the book!” — One Mama’s Daily Drama

“Its simple language makes it digestable for everyone! Check it out soon!” — Travel Answer Man

“For me, the power of the book is how Laura Laing takes the mystery, and along with it the misplaced sense of difficulty, out of the basic principles of mathematics.” — Blog Business World

“Math for Grownups really is full of useful tips and humorous stories. It was far from a dry, boring math book!” — My Springfield Mommy

“It takes away all of the hard and rigid rules of the right answer, and helps you use numbers to your advantage everywhere you go. And you can use a calculator too!” — KimberlyMichelle.com 

“I LOVE books like this that are easy to read and PRACTICAL! Trust me, this one is.” — Econobusters

“This book just repackages all that early arithmetic and puts it in terms that we deal with every day, from calculating a 15% tip to figuring out how much mulch you need for your 10′ x 5′ garden plot.” — Bargaineering 

“This book was well written and the  examples given throughout the chapters really made the information sink in. I learned a lot and can now say I feel confident when facing any math problem.” – An Island Life
