    <body><![CDATA[This is, like, TOE-tally written for junior high girls who just, like, don't get math. Since junior high was my mathematics trainwreck, I decided to pick this up and see if it would help me finally understand what I, like, SOOOOOOoooo didn't get back then.  The cover looks like a teen magazine. There's a lot in there about how it's okay to be a smart girl. Really.  Boys will still like you. And then there's the math stuff. I finally understand functions and other math concepts that never made ANY sense to me. This Danica woman is an actress and, literally, a math genius. She got a degree in mathematics from UCLA and was one of three or four people to come up with some brilliant theorem or solve some pressing math problem that nobody else could solve, or something. And boys still like her. Totally.]]></body>
