Mathematics has long suffered in the public eye through portrayals of mathematicians as socially inept geniuses devoted to an arcane discipline. This work demonstrates how mathematics surrounds, imbues, and maintains our everyday lives. It takes the reader through a point-by-point explanation of many frequently asked questions about mathematics.
