I hesitate to even call this book an introduction because it's much more than that-the understanding it provides ends up opening up some pretty deep concepts. Trust me, to actually understand "why" makes the doing of something a whole lot easier.For those of us who are "right brained" (tending towards intuitive, creative, artistic, empathetic), math can be a harrowing experience if you are without the proper tools. To look at the laundry list of formulas, rules, exceptions, etc that don't seem to make any logical sense can be highly frustrating for the right-brained among us, who tend to extrapolate how we do things from logical observations then create our own ways to solve problems (in order for this to work we need to know why something works or why it's true or false). This book breaks everything down to where when you are presented with a problem you know one or more of the following:1. What your goal in the problem is.2. Why you would need to know how to do this and how it can help you in real life.3. How it works, so you can know how to apply the concepts intuitively rather than being limited to only things you've memorized from the list of magic formulae.4. Why there are so many things that don't seem to make any sense at all (ie why you can't divide by zero) and what you should do about it.The book is collaboration between Kenn Amdahl, (writer, poet, musician, and decided right-brainer) and Dr Jim Loats (a university mathematics professor), so you're getting the best of both worlds here.I have always been pretty good at math through sheer brute force, but I've always hated it. Until now. Now I actually understand exactly what I'm doing and why and actually enjoy doing math problems the same way other right-brainers enjoy cross word puzzles or scrabble. Scary I know. Get this book. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars A necessary adjunct to learning the craft *by H***N on Reviewed in the United States on October 3, 2015* This should be the introduction to every book, or something very similar. it tells you the why of all the strange and wonderful things. I just did what they told me in class. It became clear in a lot of instances. But until I read this book a lot of things remained hazy. It would have been a lot better to have this in the beginning.The style is fun and breezy. Bit too breezy at times. It covers the material quickly, but thoroughly. it is the book I wish I had in high school ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic morale booster if you are planning to take math in college after years or decades on the outside *by C***O on Reviewed in the United States on March 6, 2012* I read this book and understood it with out straining myself even after not cracking an Algebra book in decades. In high school I got straight A's in Algebra. But in college Calculus I struggled hard to get a passing C. I thought I was not smart enough to understand Calculus. Dr. Jim described me to a T in this book. He said the reason why so many students struggle with Calculus is because in high school they memorized a bunch of rules without understanding why, passing their exams, and never again thinking about Algebra. When I signed up for Calculus it had been over two years since I opened an Algebra book. To do Calculus you need to do the Algebra to solve the problems. Looking back it was amazing that I got a C on the course. Its been over 30 years since I got my degree in business. This book is an excellent starting point for getting back on the right track with math. Now I am fully pumped in knowing that I will not be wasting my time getting back into shape, mathematically speaking, before applying for admissions to pursue a second degree, this time in science. In high school, I found math easy, but I was not in love with it. In fact, I could not wait until I finished my required math courses, Algebra I&II, Trig, and Geometry. If my instructors were like Dr. Jim it's possible that I may have learned to love those courses. If you have children in high school Algebra this is a must gift for them. Or if you are thinking like me to make the plunge again and not sure if you end up drowning first, this book is a must read for you. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.br/products/28357492-algebra-unplugged-paperback-november-1-2013](https://www.desertcart.com.br/products/28357492-algebra-unplugged-paperback-november-1-2013) --- *Product available on Desertcart Brazil* *Store origin: BR* *Last updated: 2026-04-23*
