Basic Mathematics Steve Slavin and Ginny Crisonino

This is a standard basic mathematics textbook used primarily in community colleges. The only way to learn math is to do math. By working your way through the book, you will learn everything from basic arithmetic to percentages, ratios, proportions, signed numbers, and introductory geometry.

In addition to Basic Mathematics, the authors have also written two self-teaching guides published by John Wiley and Sons -- one on Geometry and one on Precalculus. Ginny Crisonino has been teaching mathematics at Union County College in Cranford, New Jersey, since 1983 and has completed most of her work towards a Ph.D. at New York Polytechnic University. Steve Slavin, Ph.D. is Professor Emeritus of Economics at Union County College. He is the author of Quick Business Math, Math for Your First- and Second-Grader, and All the Math You'll Ever Need, published by John Wiley and Sons. He has also written Economics (an introductory college text, now in its 7th edition), published by McGraw-Hill.
