Danica McKellar: Math Whiz!!
Video: Smart is Sexy!
Being Hollywood glamorous on the one hand, and a skilled math tutor on the other, Danica McKellar, (Winnie Cooper on The Wonder Years) is uniquely qualified to assure today's girls that smart is sexy! and that they can excel at anything they set their mind to. In her New York Times bestselling books, Math Doesn't Suck and Kiss My Math, actress and math genius McKellar, shattered the "math nerd" stereotype by showing girls how to ace middle school math and pre-algebra - and actually feel cool while doing it! Now she's back in her most important book to date, on the most feared math subject of all: algebra! In HOT X: ALGEBRA EXPOSED, every demystifying page from polynomials to quadratic equations sizzles with the trademark sass and style that made her first two books bestsellers and launched Danica to become a much needed national spokesperson for girls and math.
A firm believer that "cute and smart is better than cute and dumb", McKellar has given students the tools to ace tests and homework in her unique just-us-girls style. Instantly putting her readers at ease, McKellar shows teenage girls - and anyone taking algebra - how to feel confident, get in the driver's seat, and totally master topics like square roots, trinomials, solving equations and inequations, word problems and more...without breaking a sweat.
Danica combines reader-favorites like personality quizzes, fun doodles, real-life testimonials and stories from her own life, with illuminating, step-by-step math lessons - often in her own handwriting, so girls feel like she's sitting right next to them. As hundreds of thousands of girls already know, Danica's irreverent, light-hearted approach opens the door to math success and higher scores. Now, with HOT X: ALGEBRA EXPOSED, the scary veil of algebra is finally lifted, making it understandable, relevant and maybe even a little (gasp!) fun for girl
