A Mind for Numbers: How to Excel at Math and Science
Barbara Oakley once struggled so deeply with math that she failed her high school courses. She eventually realized that mastering technical subjects is not about natural talent, but about understanding how the brain processes information. In this book, she shares the cognitive techniques she used to pivot from a language specialist to an engineering professor. By explaining the science of learnin…
