I love math, and it makes me ill every time I think about how badly it's taught in public schools.
I looked into the subject of good math books extensively, for use in home high-schooling my kids. Here are the best ones I found:
[[MORE]]Elementary Algebra, by Jacobs
Geometry: Seeing, Doing, Understanding, by Jacobs
Mathematics, A Human Endeavor, by Jacobs
Jacobs has a great knack for explaining math.
I've known several people who "hated" math, until they learned it the right way. One of them loved it so much afterwords that she went on to get her degree in math and to teach it at the college level.
