Author’s Acknowledgments
Writing this second edition of Basic Math & Pre-Algebra For Dummies was an entirely enjoyable experience, thanks to the support and guidance of Lindsay Lefevere of John Wiley & Sons, Inc., editors Tracy Barr and Krista Hansing, and technical reviewer Mike McAsey. And many thanks to my assistant, Chris Mark, for his unfailing diligence and enthusiasm.
And thanks to the great folks at Borderlands Café, on Valencia Street in San Francisco, for creating a quiet and friendly place to work.
Finally, a shout out to my awesome nephews, Jake and Ben.
