Overview of The Great American Math Help Yourself Book

Purpose: I've helped many adults with math. I've come to realize that entirely too many adults are afraid of math. What if I wrote a book that was part novel, part math to make some of the everyday concepts fairly easy to understand and helped reduce math anxiety?

Some obstacles: Graphics! Lots of concepts are easier to follow with pictures. The first chapter written is one that would occur fairly late in the book. But it doesn't need graphics. So it was written first.

Audience: I envisage this as a slim book, auxilliary to a math textbook for an adult wanting to go back to school, but having a deficit in math. This person would have signed up for a remedial math class. Maybe there are other people this would appeal to.

Trepidations: Can I do it? Not sure.
