In the words of the author, "I have written Mathematics All Around based on the belief that there are three things a student must focus on in order to learn and remember mathematics-understanding, understanding, understanding. Instead of simply presenting the students with an equation or method and asking them to repeat the procedure, I explain the thinking behind the subject so they have a better grasp of the material and an easier time with the work. With this approach, one can discuss topics usually considered "too difficult" for liberal arts students.

I cannot believe that all of this was crammed into ONE 8 week college course. I'm still getting over the stress of trying to make it through this course. The book is ok if you understand math, but if you don't, you're just going to be more lost than you were before you started. Very confusing stuff.
