This book examines the critical roles and effects of mathematics
education. The exposition draws from the author's forty-year mathematics
career, integrating his research in the psychology of mathematical
thinking into an overview of the true definition of math. The intention
for the reader is to undergo a "corrective" experience, obtaining a
clear message on how mathematical thinking tools can help all people
cope with everyday life. For those who have struggled with math in the
past, the book also aims to clarify that math learning difficulties are
likely a result of improper pedagogy as opposed to any lack of
intelligence on the part of the student. This personal treatise will be
of interest to a variety of readers, from mathematics teachers and those
who train them to those with an interest in education but who may lack a
solid math background.
