Mathematics is an elegant, wonderful and exceedingly useful language. It has its own nouns, verbs, modifiers, patois and dialect. While some people use this language brilliantly, others are not as enthusiastic. This is because many fear the numbers and how complex they can get.

The contents in this book may not guarantee you 100 percent that you will be a professor of algebra the moment you turn the last leaf. However, it is bound to bring a new, exciting and entertaining perspective of the potential that lies in numbers.

Different people have different levels of confidence when it comes to arithmetic computations and for some reason; others feel comfortable with what little they know. In case they are confronted with complex problems, they do not hesitate to reach out to their pocket calculators.

Just like photography which may blind us to the beauty of a Vermeer painting or a keyboard that may drown the magnificence of a sonata, over-reliance on automated calculations can deny us the beauty that is hidden in arithmetic.
