The Math Forum.(2004). Dr. Math Explains Algebra.Hoboken:John Wiley and sons
Here is your answer if you're wondering if an algebra text could be a graphic novel. Jessica Wolk-Stanley supplies illustrations of Arturo and friends on their quest for understanding, and "Dr. Math" supplies the super-hero. Time after time, Arturo's "Dear Abby"-style letters to Dr. Math receive a kindly and thorough unraveling of what had formerly been a mathematical mystery.

Tess' theoretical musings are accompanied by whimsical sketches from her math notebook, so even if you don't like math as well as Tess does, you'll be "drawn" into her world of numbers. Like Colin Singleton, hero of An Abundance of Katherines, Tess uses the language of math to organize her thoughts about the people in her world, from the hyper-to-the-fifth-power friend, to those who live in the inside or outside of the circle in the "have been kissed" Venn diagram. Unlike Colin, Tess thinks she has has her Algebra of Life pretty well figured out. There's nothing like a moral dilemma or two, however, to expose the inequality in a system of equalities. Tess must keep some big secrets while she tries to figure out what to do next.
