If you're anything like Captain ILL, you feel that math can be pretty darned useful, even necessary, though often completely incomprehensible to those of us who aren't eggheads.

Dinah Zike's Big Book of Math isn't a really big book, but it does have lots of pictures, charts, and diagrams, which is a big plus in Captain ILL's book. Compare this:

And decide for yourself which book you would like to learn math from.

BowlingJoe has spent his entire life looking for the f(x), but I'm no closer now than when I was eating Space Food Sticks for lunch in the 5th grade.
Captain ILL remembers Space Food Sticks too! Perhaps you should consider giving up your quest for f(x) and work on getting the Space Food Sticks back in the grocery stores instead.
space food sticks?? I've acquired an addiction to pringle's pizza sticks....
You don't remember space food sticks Groovelily? They came in tasty flavors like brown and orange.

Nice find Bowlingjoe. Apparently Space Food Sticks are still popular in Australia, so if anyone is going down under anytime soon, be sure and bring a bunch back for the Captain.
