Maths Doesn't Suck Reviews

This groundbreaking book is just what this country needs -- Dr Sally Ride, first American woman in space
McKellar is probably the only person on prime-time television who moonlights as a cyberspace math tutor * New York Times *
Maths Doesn't Suck is well explained, fun and rigorous. A great balance between emphasising 'you can do this' while also recognising sometimes you have to work at things that are worthwhile. Danica makes it clear that girls can be smart and cool * Mary Wimbury, Director, UK Mathematics Trust *
Well written and entertaining ... I would very much welcome anything that may help to increase the percentage of girls taking maths -- Dr Dorothy Duffy, London Centre of Nanotechnology, University College London
