Synopsis
Distinguished by its unique approach and celebrity author, MATH DOESN'T SUCK is an encouraging voice in the wilderness, enticing middle school girls to explore, understand, and even enjoy mathematics. Former television actress Danica McKellar (THE WONDER YEARS), who majored in math at UCLA, proffers math as a source of challenging fun as well as a potential, though currently unpopular, career and study choice for females. The book has a friendly, magazine-like layout and tone, with personal stories and amusing sidebars (horoscopes, quizzes) to support basic middle-school math instruction (percentages, exponents, square roots, etc.). It just may turn on a new generation of Descarteses and Fibonacci's.

      Math book written by a TV Star - Don't be Skeptical
    Review created: 08/08/07

    Life turns around, no wonder about it. Seeing a former TV star publishing a book teaching math concepts is something I see as "unbelievable", I mean, in the good meaning of it. More surprising - and even funny - was to read right on the beginning of the book that her life as an actress and being recognized for her acting was a nice thing, but made her feel empty most of times. So she wanted to be recognized for her intelligence and went for something which was more mentally demanding - mathematics - and as far as I understood, looks like she made it well.

    The purpose of the book is great. Math is a complicated and boring subject on its formal approach, so she managed to write the same basic concepts in a more everyday language which could stimulate one to view and understand how numbers work naturally. She's right when she says that proficiency in math leads us to better logical reasoning and makes us smarter and more able to take the most reasonable decisions - in the rational sense.

    This could perfectly be a book for the "Dummies" series, but, you know, its marketing appeal would not be as good as having Danica's image on the cover.
