Math Overboard! is a complete review of school math, from kindergarten to Grade 12. It is ideally suited for self-study by students (especially those planning to enter college or university), parents, educators, and other interested adults. Every standard topic is completely covered, with easy-to-understand explanations. Math Overboard! places equal emphasis on computational skills and overall comprehension of math. Frequent Problems support learning.

Math Overboard! is designed to remove any gaps in your mathematical training (or remembrance) -- gaps that can be devastating in terms of allowing you to succeed in more advanced, college-level courses. If, for example, you feel shaky in Algebra, or Trigonometry, studying the chapters on those topics will rapidly bring you "up to speed." Using the detailed Index can lead you to discussions of words or topics that you may have forgotten.

Finally, Math Overboard! describes many real-world uses of elementary mathematics, in Science, Technology, Finance and Economics, and other fields. Reading about these applications will help to convince you of the usefulness of one of mankind's greatest achievements, the world of mathematics.



Colin W. Clark is Professor Emeritus of Mathematics at the University of British Columbia. Math Overboard! is the book that Dr. Clark wishes his students had access to, as they struggled to grasp Calculus based on a weak understanding (often misunderstanding) of school-level math. Clark's previous books include Mathematical Bioeconomics - The Mathematics of Conservation, and Dynamic State-Variable Models in Ecology. Colin and his wife Janet live in Richmond, a suburb of Vancouver, Canada.

If you need any hand holding with math, forget this book. I can only imagine that the three people who gave it five stars were already good at math and just needed a refresher. I'm terrible but I still feel satisfaction when I can solve a problem. I read recently that doing math is a good way to prevent cognitive decline so I decided to find a math book that would present problems and solutions that I could understand. This book presents the rules and explanations in ABCD format and then gives a few problems with no step-by-step solutions of the actual problems so if you can't solve a problem you have no way of figuring out why. I had to turn to the internet to find out how to do the problems. In fractions my problem was that at first the book dealt with adding two mixed fractions and I could handle that with the explanation given but then there was a problem with three fractions and no explanation was given in layman's terms on how to arrive at the answer. Besides all of the above, the book is very complicated to read.

Math Overboard! Basic Math for Adults Part 1 Colin W Clark Reviews


A must have for any software developers.
Incredible book! The author's method of starting from the beginning of every section and explaining both the mechanics of the problem as well as the reasoning behind it is the perfect combination to help you remember what you once knew or understand it for the first time. This is a great text and I'd recommend it to anyone who feels like they've long since fallen off the math bandwagon.
I am 72 years old with some kind of strange compulsion to understand why I never understood math.
Now I know! It is about understanding the underlying Concepts of what "math" actually Is....most specifically
basic foundations of numbers...very early on. It is NOT about memorizing...without UNDERSTANDING...they both
go together or it is All lost. There is a significant difference between "passing" a course and being truly educated.
Thanks for offering this book!

I needed to brush up on long-forgotten math, and so I looked at quite a few math textbooks before making a decision. This one looked like it came closest to meeting my needs, so I ordered it. It actually exceeded my expectations! Not only did it cover material I learned when I was young in a clear and concise manner, it also helped me understand basic concepts that I don't think anyone ever taught me in school. It doesn't condescend or waste time - it truly is written for adults and treats its readers as such. I enjoyed reading it - and I always thought I was not a math person! I plan to get volume 2 next.
