So You Think You Hate Math? (You're Probably Right, But Let's Pretend Anyway)

Synopsis

Welcome to the book that promises to make math 'fun.' Look, let's be honest, the bar is pretty low here. If you're reading this, you're likely the target audience: someone who suspects math is a cruel and unusual punishment invented solely to make your life miserable. Good news! You're not wrong. But before you resign yourself to a lifetime of avoiding percentages and muttering darkly about algebra, perhaps we can find a tiny, microscopic sliver of enjoyment? Or at least, understand why the numbers are plotting against you. Through a series of eye-rolls and sarcastic commentary, this book doesn't just explain concepts; it commiserates. Expect less 'riveting proofs' and more 'why is this even a thing?' We'll tackle the basics you somehow missed or conveniently forgot, maybe even glance at some slightly more advanced torture devices, all while maintaining a healthy level of skepticism. If nothing else, you'll gain a new appreciation for how truly absurd math can be, and perhaps, just perhaps, you'll be able to fake your way through a conversation about fractions without breaking a sweat. Probably not, but hey, it's worth a shot, right? Right?
