In this episode, we dive into "Math Anxiety — How to Beat It!" by Brian Cafarella, a powerful guide for students struggling with fear and frustration around mathematics, especially in college settings. The book unpacks the root causes of math anxiety—including negative past experiences, lack of basic math skills, test pressure, and cultural stereotypes around gender and race—and offers research-based, practical solutions.

Cafarella equips students with strategies for managing math-related stress, improving study habits, preparing effectively for exams, and understanding their own learning styles. The book also explains different college math pathways and formats (in-person, online, hybrid), empowering learners to choose what works best for them.
