You would think, since I'm not working, that my numbers for February would be higher, but the stress of not having a job has reeked havoc on my level of concentration. I've got some good interviews lined up this week, so I think March will be a much better month for me.

TieDyeDude I totally get that. Good luck on the interviews! 1mo

KadaGul @RamsFan1963, be kind to yourself, and do not lose hope. I totally understand what you‘re going through. Some days, I love to decompress with a good book or an audiobook, and other days, I find it tough to even listen. I wish you all the luck. I know some of my friends are in the same boat as you are. 1mo

Pickpick

The author says in the preface that the book should be accessible to anybody with a maths GCSE. Apparently a maths GCSE is more difficult than a maths O Level. I kept my head above water (I think) till Chapter 6 when we hit geometry, which was my downfall with school maths as well. I just skimmed Chapter 7 on estimates and approximations but re-surfaced with the FAQ in the final chapter, which was more about mathematicians than mathematics.

TheBookHippie I still have nightmares about geometry class…😂😩 2mo
Bookwormjillk I was a really good math student (if you don‘t count geometry.) 2mo
dabbe I'm just the opposite. I adored geometry but was horrible at algebra--especially story problems like the one below.

If a train leaves the station with 5 carts of bananas and drives west for 250 miles, how many mangos does he have? 😂

rwmg @dabbe Since I was already a reader with a penchant for mysteries, I felt I was on familiar territory with algebra and story problems, but as somebody with poor spatial sense it was a struggle to relate geometry and trigonometry to anything I was familiar with. 2mo
