The inflation rate is such-and-such a percent, the trade deficit is so many billions, and the national debt is so many trillions. And how big of a tip should you leave?

My aim in writing this book is to give you an easy-to-follow guide to the math you encounter in your everyday life. I hope this single volume will become the first resource you turn to for all your mathematical or numerical questions. The topics range from the simple-how to solve a percentage problem, how to figure a tip, how to balance your checkbook-to the complex-the formula for the present value of an annuity, an installment loan formula, and believe it or not, a simple explanation of Einstein's famous formula, E = mc2. You will also find here important numerical facts and definitions: everything from the definitions of gross domestic product and the f ... read full excerpt from Everyday Math for Everyday Life: A Handbook for When It Just Doesn't Add Up ebook

Why must I activate my Adobe Reader?

Many publishers require powerful copy protection for their eBook titles. In order for you to be able to purchase and download eBook titles that have been secured for distribution, you first need to activate your Adobe Reader. Just as a credit card typically must be activated by a bank before use, your Adobe Reader needs to be activated before you can purchase and read eBooks packaged for secure distribution.

Can I print or copy my Adobe ebook?

To protect copyrights, publishers and authors establish their own guidelines for how much of their eBooks can be printed or copied. This means that these permissions will differ from book to book. Each ebook file has a differing level of encryption which is controlled by the author/publisher at creation. For example, a publisher might give users the ability to print several pages of a cookbook within a set period of time. You'll see specifc settings for the Adobe title under the ebook description.
