Mathematics for Practical Use

I bought this book in 1973 when I was in eighth grade. It kept me from having to repeat eighth grade math and was a wonderful resource through high school, college and beyond. I use it now to help my 6th grader with math. I recommended it to a friend and he asked if it was still available, since I refuse to let our copy out of the house. We were tickled to see that, though out of print, copies are still around. The math in this book is simple, sound and perfect for the math-terrified.
