Josh Rappaport - Algebra Survival Guide: A Conversational Handbook for the Thoroughly Befuddled

The Algebra Survival Guide was created as much through dialogue as through my own effort. In that light, I must first thank the hundreds of children Ive had the pleasure to tutor over the past ten years. Its through their quest to learn that this book grew. Among the adults who played a role in creating the Algebra Survival Guide, I first thank my wife, Kathy, a gifted and creative teacher, who offered invaluable feedback and urged me to always keep the befuddled student foremost in mind. Second, I owe a huge debt of gratitude to Sally Blakemore, who not only created the illustrations and developed the books overall design, but also provided humor, support and inspiration each step of the way. I also wish to thank my production staff: David Cox, Byron Grush, Janice St. Marie and Madeleine Tillin. Teachers who offered peer critiques are: Michael Carroll, Lucille Cueva, Marilyn Gardner, Debbie Gibbs, Peter Graham and Mary Hackler. Other adults who offered help in various ways are: Seymour Bortz, Martin Casdagli, Janet Dennison, MacDonnell Gordon, Barbara Holmes, Ann Lacy, Sarah Oberstein, Ann Pagliarulo, Phyllis Panzeter, Mary Schenck and Sam Shaffer. Finally, thanks to three students who offered particularly in-depth suggestions: Phillip Holmes, Katie Kelley and Laura Schenck.
