General Math guides

Use these pages for direct number work: percentages, fractions, roots, sequences, and whole-number checks that often sit inside bigger homework, finance, or engineering tasks.

Check a quick arithmetic result without writing out the full working.
Move between fractions, decimals, ratios, and percentage changes.
Handle sequence, factor, and root calculations used inside larger problems.

Percentages and Change

A deeper guide to percentages, percentage of a value, and percentage change, with attention to base values, direction, and why percentage increase and decrease are not perfectly reversible.

HTML guides

Reference articles for general math.

Use these pages for formulas, worked examples, and common mistakes before or after you open a calculator.

Percentages and Change

A deeper guide to percentages, percentage of a value, and percentage change, with attention to base values, direction, and why percentage increase and decrease are not perfectly reversible.

Anyone using percentages in finance, study, statistics, retail, or everyday comparison where the starting value determines the meaning of the result.Read guide

Arithmetic Fundamentals

A stronger arithmetic guide covering addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division as the foundation for checking formulas, rearranging expressions, and keeping later calculations physically sensible.

Students, apprentices, adult learners, and professionals who need fast arithmetic checks that prevent larger errors in finance, engineering, DIY, and data work.Read guide
General Math

Fractions, Decimals, and Ratios

A fuller guide to fractions, decimals, and ratios, focused on choosing the most readable form, preserving proportional meaning, and moving cleanly between equivalent representations.

Learners and practitioners who move between textbook notation, spreadsheet-style decimals, and real-world ratios in recipes, mixes, finance, and measurement.Read guide
General Math

Powers, Roots, and Factorials

A guide to powers, roots, and factorials that explains what repeated multiplication, inverse powers, and combinatorial growth mean in practical calculations.

Students and problem-solvers who need exponent-style thinking for geometry, statistics, probability, and scientific formulas.Read guide
General Math

Number Theory Essentials

A deeper guide to primes, greatest common divisors, and least common multiples, focused on simplification, divisibility, and the structural patterns behind clean arithmetic.

Learners who want cleaner simplification habits for fractions, ratios, scheduling, common-denominator work, and algebraic manipulation.Read guide
General MathGuide

Sequences and Series

A fuller guide to arithmetic and geometric sequences and series, with a focus on pattern recognition, nth-term logic, and deciding whether you need a single term or a cumulative total.

Students and analysts who need to recognise regular change, write nth-term rules, and calculate finite sums without confusing term values with running totals.Read guide
