Praise for other Head First books
“Head First Algebra is a clear, easy-to-understand method to learn a subject that many people find
intimidating. Because of its somewhat irreverent attitude in presenting mathematical topics for
beginners, this book inspires students to learn Algebra at a depth they might have otherwise thought
unachievable.”
— Ariana Anderson
Statistician at UCLA’s Center for Cognitive Neuroscience
“The way Head First Algebra presents information is so conversational and intriguing it helps in the

everyday life.”
— Shannon Stewart
Math teacher
