Note: If you are reading an electronic pdf version of this book, it is an illegal pirated file. If you find it useful/enjoyable, please consider buying the actual book, which is very reasonably priced for a thick hardcover book.

Side note: If you know of any middle school or high school students (or eager elementary school students) who are learning algebra, they might enjoy my new [Algebra](/books/algebra "Algebra") book!
