Once in a while there comes a truly exceptional book and, in my opinion, this is one of them.  I am a mathematician who taught both high school and college before becoming a librarian and I can see what a wonderful approach this book has to the much maligned subject of Mathematics.  I have never seen the relevance of Mathematics explained this well.  Reading it has been a great pleasure.  I now know how I-pods work!  And how much wood a woodchuck can chuck!  --Nancy F. Carter, University Libraries, University of Colorado, Boulder, April 2006

'When am I ever going to use this?' is a common question asked by students in high school mathematics classes. The objective of Real-Life Math is to help students answer this by presenting mathematical concepts in a practical way. Real-Life Math tries to make math easier for students to relate to, and this goal is accomplished through the expertise of its authors laid out in an easy-to-read format.  This book is recommended for high school students.  While it would not be appropriate to use it as a textbook, it would complement one nicely.  --ARBA, March 2007
