A Mind for Numbers: How to Excel at Math and Science (Even If You Flunked Algebra)

Barbara Oakley · ★★★☆☆ · 336 pages · 2014

A Mind for Numbers is not just about math and science but about learning in general. It was a good read which I wish I had in college as I struggled to really comprehend Physics and Math equations. I really liked the first part about chunking ideas, diffused and focused mind, and the notion of transfer. But the latter part got a bit more wishy washy in terms of psychology and was a bit less interesting as it seemed to be focused more for college students.
