Thank you for purchasing the MEAP for Math for Frontend Web Dev. Mathematics plays a crucial role in front-end web development, yet many designers and developers don’t realize how often they rely on it when building modern websites and applications. From layout calculations and animations to color blending and responsive design, mathematical concepts power much of the visual and interactive experiences users engage with daily.

Math for Frontend Web Dev is a practical guide to understanding and applying mathematical principles in CSS and JavaScript. This book will help web developers improve their problem-solving skills, create more precise layouts, optimize animations, and build interactive web experiences with a strong foundation in math. This book is for developers, designers, and UI/UX professionals who want to deepen their understanding of how math enhances web development. Through hands-on examples and real-world use cases, readers will gain practical skills to apply in their projects.

This book is about learning the math that is required to work as a web developer. While many developers associate math with back-end programming, it is just as vital for front-end development. The way a web page is laid out, how animations move smoothly, how typography adapts to different screen sizes, and how user interactions are processed—all of these involve mathematical concepts.
