About this title

About the Author:

Best known for her roles on The Wonder Years and The West Wing, Danica McKellar is also an internationally recognized mathematician. She was chosen as ABC World News Tonight’s “Person of the Week” for writing Math Doesn’t Suck and has recently been featured in Newsweek and The New York Times, and on the CBS Early Show, and NPR’s Science Friday.

Review:

"McKellar... may well have done more to encourage girls to stick with math than any government task force... the wildly enthusiastic response [her books] have received speaks to the effect that can be achieved by reworking the contents of standard math and science problems and countering the perception that boys won't like girls who are smart."—Eileen Pollack, The New York Times

"A new pre-algebra survival guide."—USNEWS.com
