The Book for Math Empowerment: Rethinking the Subject of Mathematics
by Sandra L. Manigault

The Book for Math Empowerment: Rethinking the Subject of Mathematics deals with the psychology of learning math. It approaches the issue of math anxiety through an affirmative process. It engages the reader by dealing with the issue of his/her belief system. The reader is encouraged to take a realistic look at false paradigms and to understand how these have encumbered him/her in the learning of mathematics.

Study skills are enumerated in depth, along with case studies of students who lost their way. Additionally, the reader is given a personal look into why musicians often make better math students; how baggage can be created inadvertently by teachers in a classroom, and parents, in the home. This is a frank and honest look as to why mathematics has been given a false mystique in American culture and what can be done about it.
