About the book
A straightforward way back into maths
Math Essentials is the first book in the Brush Up Basics series — a clear, approachable guide to revisiting and mastering the mathematical concepts many of us learned once and set aside.
It offers clear, concise explanations alongside step-by-step examples and practice problems, covering the essential concepts from early maths classes in an accessible format. Think of it as a comprehensive collection of pages that help re-shape and re-understand the practical fundamentals — and reignite an appreciation for maths along the way.
Clear explanations, worked examples and practice problems — the basics, gently revisited.
