About Math4Humans

Our Mission

Math4Humans exists because we believe math need not be intimidating. Too many people have been convinced that mathematics is only for “math people” - we’re here to prove that wrong.

Our Philosophy

Smaller Chunks

Traditional textbooks often present concepts in large, overwhelming blocks. We break everything down into smaller, digestible chunks so you can learn a concept and apply it right away.

Realistic Examples

We don’t believe in abstract problems divorced from reality. Every concept on Math4Humans is illustrated with examples from everyday life - from budgeting to cooking to home improvement.

Gradual Difficulty

Have you ever worked through “easy” textbook examples only to find the homework problems impossibly hard? We provide problems that progress smoothly from introductory to challenging, building your confidence along the way.

Self-Test Problems

Each topic includes practice problems with solutions so you can check your understanding before moving on.

Who We Are

Math4Humans is built by educators and enthusiasts who believe that mathematical literacy is a fundamental skill that everyone deserves access to. We’re committed to creating resources that are:

• Free - Mathematics education shouldn’t be locked behind paywalls
• Accessible - Written in plain language without unnecessary jargon
• Practical - Focused on skills you’ll actually use
