All students can do math...Banishing Math Anxiety eases the reader into college mathematics.

Designed for students who may have given up on learning math, Banishing Math Anxiety provides a fresh start to learning by reviewing concepts/skills the reader may have already learned to experience some success. Building Confidence!

While not a textbook, although mathematical content is substantial, Banishing Math Anxiety:

• Encourages active learning by asking questions in addition to being issue oriented: using resources, deciphering notation, and mathematics appreciation.
• Reinforces that math learning may begin in the classroom but it doesn't end there. The book presents real world applications of math such as pre-employment testing, math applications on the job, debt management, taxes, and more.
• Introduces an appreciation of graphing calculators without presuming that they have ever seen one, or formally teaching calculator techniques.
• Encourages creative exploration instead of some step-by-step approach that is supposed to work every time.
