Tag: cartoon guide to algebra

Long before graphic novels were "respectable" there was Larry Gonick, whose Cartoon History of the Universe books were respected and bestselling looks at history as told in a fanciful but well researched cartoon style. A former calculus calculus instructor at Harvard and a Knight Science Journalism Fellow at MIT, his science bona fides have never been in doubt. And he's back in January with a Cartoon Guide to Algebra. Is there a way to make the abstract more comprehensible with comics? We'll soon find out.
