Librarian Note: There is more than one author in the Goodreads database with this name. Paul Carson is an author and private maths tutor. Despite hating maths at school, he loved science enough that he studied it at university. Then, he found that he needed maths! Figuring it out himself, he invented a new method which led to him studying maths at degree level. Now, using the very same approach 95% of his students achieve a pass rate at GCSE - compared with 54% using the traditional curriculum method. Paul lives a quiet, understated life in Lincoln with his young daughter. Beneath this regular exterior however, hides a shockingly smart man whose brain power is not down to the good fortune of expensive schooling or an exceptional memory, but 100% work. His first book - Naked Numbers: The 3 Rules To Make Your Life Add Up - has been designed to transform the lives of numbers-phobics by stripping down maths into 3 simple rules. By exposing the secret workings of the subject, it allows users to confidently solve almost any maths problem. His new series, In A Minute, has been designed to allow people to find bite sized chunks of his method at a low cost. It also contains improvements from his original course. He is now studying mechanical engineering. For fun.
