“Danica McKellar is a great teacher! She's warm and funny, and best
of all, she explains algebra so clearly. My wife and I immediately
ordered her books [for] our daughters.”—Steven Strogatz, New York
Times columnist and professor of mathematics, Cornell
University
“In my 20+ years as a math teacher, rarely have I seen a book that
makes mathematics so clear and fun! I highly recommend Danica
McKellar's new book, Hot X: Algebra Exposed for perplexed students
and puzzled algebra teachers looking for a way to engage today's
students with fresh, entertaining lesson plans.”—Dennis Van Roekel,
President, National Education Association
“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
