Numbers speak to us on a daily basis. They give us the Time, so we are not Tardy for important events, they tell us the proper speed to Travel, so we do not get a Ticket, and they provide us the proper Temperature to bake our Treats, or breads, so that they do not become Toast. But most important of all, Numbers tell us the Truth. We use numbers in the simplest ways to help navigate us through the peaks and troughs of life. Through hypothetical scenarios the author illustrates, to the reader, how basic mathematical principles coupled with simple data analysis techniques can be applied by both auditors, accountants, and everyday individuals to help us solve problems that we may face in our professional and personal lives. Numbers emphatically leads Joe, a retired professor, to the truth about his relationship and Stephanie, an auditor, to the reality of her corporation's culture, while spilling some proverbial TEA along the way.
