Excellent book
I bought this book to brush up on my maths.Its very good,not patronising.i would recommend this book if your maths is poor.

Basic Mathematics
This books comes from the "Teach Yourself" series and in my opinion this is a good recommendation in itself. As you would expect in a book on basic mathematics, it starts with the basics. So if you are just starting maths or want to refresh and update your knowledge, then this is a good starting point.The book is set out in progressive chapters. So you can focus on what you want to learn. If you have children, think of how you can help them with their homework. I find it a good way of spending some quality time together. Worth every penny. An interesting book to support this is -Success with Mathematics (Routledge Study Guides). You will find it readable and full of useful guidance.
