About the Author

Dr. Wendy Hageman Smith is an Associate Professor of Mathematics Education at Longwood University. She has over 20 years experience teaching undergraduates not only the art of mathematics itself, but also the art of teaching mathematics to others. Her research into teaching methods for college mathematics and the barriers facing math-anxious young adults revealed important principles for success, especially for college-bound and first-year college students. This research, combined with her experience and that of her colleagues, fully informs this authoritative and comprehensive student manual for getting the most out of high school and college math courses.

Dr. B. Sidney Smith is an Adjunct Professor of Mathematics and the creator of Platonic Realms, an online destination for students and teachers of mathematics since 1997. He has written a number of popular essays on mathematics that have received international recognition, most notably his "Coping With Math Anxiety" article on Platonic Realms that served as the seed for Math & Me.
