About the Author:
Darrell Huff lives in Carmel, California.
From Booklist:
Huff, who wrote the classic How to Lie with Statistics, now draws his resources into a thick collection of math tips and tidbits. Not wanting to be relegated to "an obscure corner marked math," he offers How to Figure It as a self-help book, an "enabler." He delivers many practical ways to bring figures and measurements into the lives of those for whom math has always been a dirty word. About a quarter of the book is devoted to money, with chapters on interest and saving, investing, spending, and home loans. Another large chunk covers residences and features house planning, how to figure steps for building things, and an entire chapter focused on rafters and beams. Huff also includes chapters on automobiles, travel, outdoors, and how to do math in a hurry. With this book as guide, you can evaluate the warmth of a sleeping bag, analyze the need for pedestrian crossings, and rate an earthquake--all assisted by handy charts and tables. This makes an ideal browser on a rainy afternoon, and it is especially friendly to those who can't quite cope with calculators. Jennifer Henderson
