There are certain things someone is supposed to know first before one can find mathematics easy. This book is specially written (in plain English) to present these things so that everybody (including beginners) may find usual mathematics plain and understandable.
If mathematics, as a subject, is written and presented in English language (or any other spoken language) and not in its own unique language (symbols), many who find mathematics difficult today would likely not find it difficult; the subject should be plain. Among all subjects, mathematics is a subject with its own language, comprising of symbols and presentation pattern. Some simple realities in everyday life are then being treated with the unique language of mathematics. The things being treated are some realities but the language or symbolism used is not known to many, hence the subject becoming difficult for many. The lucky few who somehow understand the language and how things are done in mathematics become those who understand things treated in mathematics (those we say are good in mathematics). Mathematics treats things in everyday life, so it ought not to be difficult.
The language, the structure and how things are done in the subject is adequately presented in this book (Student's Companion in Mathematics) so that all those finding mathematics difficult may be liberated and start to find the subject plain and easy.
Any beginner who reads the book first before opening usual mathematics books or before listening to classroom teaching should find mathematics plain and easy as a subject. It is a book written in simple English language, intent to make usual school mathematics easy for all, and to help any willing person to find mathematics understandable.
Excerpt
What is mathematics? How are things done in mathematics? What is the meaning of words or terms used in mathematics? What is the real meaning of Equations as we see them in mathematics? There are things a student is supposed to know or understand first about mathematics before he or she can understand usual mathematics. It is lack of knowledge of these certain 'things' that usually makes the subject difficult to understand - for many students. Unknowingly, students usually move into mathematics without first hearing what mathematics is about, its origins, how things are done in the subject, why alphabets are used in mathematics and their meaning, the meaning of words in mathematics and the real meaning of equations in mathematics explained in plain English Language. Lack of knowledge of these and more surely makes the subject to be like an unknown ground for many students. Students without the basic foundation information on mathematics try and try to understand what they see done in books and in the classroom. This book provides an end to all that. Mathematics is a simple straightforward subject if the basic foundation information about the subject are known, including information on how things are done in the subject and the meaning of everything you see in the subject. All these are explained in simple English Language in this book. After reading this book thoroughly, a student would find things in usual mathematics textbooks and what mathematics teachers say or do in a math class to be plain and understandable. The book is planned to bring a student thoroughly into regular school mathematics.It is written for: (1) New High school (secondary school) students, so as to find mathematics easy from the start.(2) Students who are finding mathematics difficult, so as to trace their way into mathematics and start to find the subject easy.(3) And for whoever wishes to know what mathematics is about, meaning of things in mathematics, and how things are done in mathematics.
