3. Keep your eye out for "The Animation of Mathematics"

It is soon to be published. The author is Dr. Joseph Phillips.

I was a student of his many moons ago and he was the only professor who has ever been able to excite me about math. Ever.

From my understanding, this text book is aimed at the grade school level. I have been able to teach my 6 year old nephew bits and pieces of algebra by using the Dr.'s methods. He can break down the most difficult of problems right back to basic math.

To this day I can reduce ridiculous fractions in a blink.
