Winning at math: Your guide to learning mathematics through successful study skills

Hello! The math teachers at Shorecrest High School (Shoreline, WA) have been using Winning At Math as a supplementary text for freshmen, sohpomores and remedial students so successfully that they asked the PTSA to buy another classroom set.

Do you hate math? Are you fearful before taking an algebra test? Do you avoid taking your math classes until the last few semesters before graduation? If you answered yes to all of these questions, or even just one, you should definitely consider purchasing this book! Read it, try the suggestions that match your learning style (my style is visual/social, except for a handful of classes in which I study more effectively alone), and do yourself a favor by adopting a positive attitude towards math. I know it's easier said than done, but you can pass math, and manage to enjoy it as well. Do not be afraid to use resources like books, study aid hand-outs from your college learning center, math videos, and your instructor. After all, they do want you to successfully pass their class. One last tidbit of advice that I'll offer is this: do not wait until the final exam to study or to get help. Start studying for this exam the first day of class.

Dr. Nolting's "Winning At Math..." helped me pass college math courses after being away from school for 20 years. The book contains a self test to pin point math deficencies so the reader can go directly to the information regarding his or her weaknesses. I do reccomend reading the entire book.

Rarely can an author turn a dissertation into a useful scholarly presentation. Nolting has done just that! He manages to focus on key issues related to barriers to student learning and to provide useful well-written commentary. This text should be on every college faculty member's bookshelf. It will be picked up frequently and increasingly as instructors focus on learning rather than validating entry level skills.
