This book addresses a critical gap in higher education by offering evidence-based strategies to reduce mathematics anxiety in non-specialist university students. Grounded in original research, Dr Meena Mehta Kotecha introduces an interdisciplinary, theory-driven and student-informed pedagogical intervention that has been empirically tested and positively received. Drawing on insights from psychology, sociology, neuroscience, and education, the book equips educators with inclusive, practical tools to build resilience, foster confidence, and support emotional wellbeing in mathematically anxious students. It also presents a unique overarching theoretical framework that enriches both teaching practice and academic research. Ideal for academic libraries serving education, psychology, social science, statistics and mathematics departments, this volume supports lecturers, teaching fellows, education developers, and researchers seeking to create more compassionate and effective learning environments. With its accessible language and cross-disciplinary relevance, it is a valuable resource for anyone committed to improving student engagement and success in quantitative courses.
