description: <P> <B><I>Prentice Hall's Reference to Mathematics: A Guide for Everyday Math</B></I> is intended to be the resource for mathematical concepts. It will help you feel empowered to accomplish whatever you want, without the fear mathematics will hold you back. </P> <P> A mathematics handbook, like a dictionary, should be part of every home, school, and workplace. Too often when we need to use or understand a mathematical procedure we haven't used in a long time, we end up remembering just bits and pieces of the procedure. <B>Prentice Hall's Reference to Mathematics: A Guide for Everyday Math</B> is designed to help fill in the gaps. This resource was developed in response to the many requests from returning students, working adults, and teachers who have been frustrated with the limited resources available when trying to learn or review a mathematical process. </P> <P> <B>Prentice Hall's Reference to Mathematics: A Guide for Everyday Math</B> is intended to be a comprehensive math resource for accomplishing your goals and tasks that require the use of mathematics.

  EDITORIAL POLICY
  Mathematics Magazine aims to provide lively and 
  appealing mathematical exposition. The Magazine 
  is not a research journal, so the terse style appro-
  priate for such a journal (lemma-theorem-proof-
  corollary) is not appropriate for the Magazine. 
  Articles should include examples, applications, 
  historical background, and illustrations, where ap-
  propriate. They should be attractive and accessible 
  to undergraduates and would, ideally, be helpful in 
  supplementing undergraduate courses or in stimu-
  lating student investigations. Manuscripts on his-
