5.0 out of 5 stars Really good
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 28 February 2018

This book has been extremely helpful. I've recently started a MSc despite finishing my GCSEs almost ten years ago and not using anything I learnt since. I've had a few books for my course which claim to be for beginners, but they all assume at least A-Level maths (one insisted it assumed no knowledge and then immediately went into differential equations!) I was beginning to despair a bit and I decided to try this one. The introduction was reassuring and gives really good guidance on how to approach studying maths, for people who don't have that background. It's very clearly written, doesn't assume anything about the reader's knowledge, and there's a map if you only want to focus on skills useful for one branch of study (e.g. finance). This book costed less than a fiver, postage included, and it's way better than any of the others I spent six times as much on!
