This is one of only four algebra books recommended by Encyclopedia Britannica Online. Also recommended in the back of the Cliff Notes book, Algebra II. We thank them both.

Algebra Unplugged explains the concepts, vocabulary and strategies of beginning algebra in an accessible, conversational manner, without resorting to problems for the student to wrestle with. Ideal for people who like to read, who learn best by reading, but who get lost, confused, and terrified when they face math. You know who you are. You thought you were smart, you get good grades in English and History class, but in math class, you think the teacher is speaking Etruscan just to make you feel foolish. There's a reason for that. Your teacher does not learn best by reading, and neither did his teacher. In fact, he doesn't believe guys like you and me exist. Our world of books and literature is as much a mystery to him as math is to sane people.Algebra Unplugged is the book you've been waiting for.

Of course, if you're a math teacher considering purchasing cases of Algebra Unplugged to use in classes, let us rephrase that. Math teachers are the smartest, kindest, most intelligent people we know. We'd love to give you tickets to the Super Bowl, but we know that your pure ethical standards would not permit it. Plus, we don't have tickets to the Super Bowl. But we love you. We really, really love you. Those huge, faceless corporations that sell you overpriced textbooks do not love you, and they do not love any math that does not include a big dollar sign. They secretly capture algorithms and equations and torture them in their basement. They keep their exponents caged and never feed them. Is that the kind of culture you want to support?? We didn't think so. We sell only free-range math that has been fed a vegetarian diet, groomed frequently, and provided with regular conjugal visits with a consenting binomial or polynomial, depending on its life style choice.
