College Algebra for Humans

A Refreshingly Joyous, Human, and Accessible approach to Algebra

for all those who may have experienced otherwise.

I am collating–and tightening up–all my algebra materials into a single coherent volume and will post the chapters here as I go along.

I imagine this as a resource for adults who want to finally make sense of the arithmetic and the algebra they experienced in the past that remains hazy, illogical, and arbitrary in their minds.  It is also written for educators and their professional development work, and as reference for curriculum authors.

Enjoy!
