Exercise your brain cells with two fascinating courses that make mathematics both accessible and enjoyable. In The Joy of Mathematics, you discover the amazing utility of this exciting field in everything from science and engineering to finance, games of chance, and many other aspects of life. Taught by award-winning Professor Arthur T. Benjamin—a literal magician with numbers—these 24 lectures reveal how the beautiful and often imposing edifice that has given us algebra, trigonometry, geometry, probability, and so much else is based on nothing more than fooling around with numbers.

Then, focus on calculus and the ways it appears around you. Change and Motion: Calculus Made Clear, 2nd Edition is crafted to make the key concepts and triumphs of this mathematical field accessible to nonmathematicians. Over the course of 24 lectures, award-winning Professor Michael Starbird teaches you how to grasp the power and beauty of calculus without the technical background traditionally required in calculus courses. As you follow the intellectual development of calculus, your appreciation of its inner workings will deepen, and your skill in seeing how it can solve a variety of problems will increase.
