OK, this cracked me up... I was reading the note to Teachers & Parents in the Beginning Algebra...it said in part:
"We know tht it takes some work for the students to learn algebra, but their efforts need not involve suffering. If this book offers "a spoonful of sugar" to the students as they learn how to do algebra, who, except the American Dental Association, could object?"
Haha, little gems like that keep the kids entertained.
BTW, I learned from another board that one of the recommended resources to prepare for the CLEP in calculus(I think that was the math one) is Life of Fred Calculus!
