Math Book Helps Girls Embrace Their Inner Mathematician The actress who played Winnie Cooper on The Wonder Years, Danica McKellar, is a self-proclaimed math advocate for girls who might otherwise shy away from a subject that Barbie once famously described as "hard."You can download the proof that Ms. McKellar wrote here. And of course, if you buy this book now by clicking on the book image or on the title, I will get paid. Then I can buy my Canon Rebel XTi.
McKellar's math book for junior high girls, called Math Doesn't Suck: How to Survive Middle-School Math Without Losing Your Mind or Breaking a Nail, will be at bookstores Thursday. It has the look and feel of a teen magazine, but puts heavy emphasis on fractions and pre-algebra.
Graduating summa cum laude from UCLA with a degree in mathematics, McKellar is also co-author of a published proof. She has testified before Congress on math education and served as a substitute teacher.
