She flunked her way through high school math and science courses; but when she saw how her lack of mathematical and technical savvy were limiting her options post-graduation, she returned to college newly determined to retool her brain to master the subjects that had given her so much trouble. In A mind for numbers, Oakley draws on insights from neuroscience and cognitive psychology to reveal the secrets to effectively learning math and science.  aCSE 0aMath anxiety. 0aMathematicsxStudy and teachingxPsychological aspects. 0aEducational psychology. 0aComputer science  aAyesha Abed LibrarycGeneral Stacks
