About this book
A Mind for Numbers, published in 2014, is Barbara Oakley's guide to learning mathematics and science, written for people who find those subjects hard. Oakley is a professor of engineering whose online course on learning is among the most popular in the world. In the book she explains how the brain takes in difficult ideas, using the idea of focused and diffuse modes of thinking, and she describes methods such as breaking material into chunks, practising recall, managing procrastination and using sleep well.
The advice is aimed at students of any age and can be used for subjects beyond science and maths.
