Michele Benjamin Lesmeister has more than 40 years of experience teaching a wide variety of adults including second-language learners, industry experts, college preparatory students, public agency personnel, and other faculty. She embraces the attitude that all students can learn math. Furthermore, she believes that a student's success is often tied to the presentation of materials. Therefore, the colloquial quality of this text's explanations of math processes creates a can-do approach to, and image of, math. In health care, math is a necessary job skill; math proficiency, in turn, will lead to more job opportunities.
