In Understanding Numbers, Marianne Freiberger and Rachel Thomas will show key number patterns and maths principles that are vital to our every day - and, far from learning complex sums by heart, they reveal techniques and insights to equip us with an innate numerical common sense.
Using a unique, visual approach, Marianne Freiberger and Rachel Thomas dissect the mathematics that you rely on every day. From the statistics that underpin our news feeds, through the big data that informs our health and finance services, to the algorithms that underpin how we communicate - mathematics is at the heart of how our modern world functions. In 20 dip-in lessons, Understanding Numbers examines how and why mathematics is used and guides you to better understand the numbers that fuel your world.
