Math Dad Writes Adult Education Math Book

Wednesday October 14, 2009

When Nicholas Aggor's children were failing math and developing a negative attitude toward school, Aggor quit his job as a senior engineer and started writing math books. His sons excelled, and Aggor's books are now available for everyone, including adults.

In 2010, Aggor will publish Adult Education Basic Math and Algebra and Adult Education Basic Math and Geometry. The Bilingual Spanish/English Middle School Fractions book is in the translation process. All of Aggor's books are available on the website Math Teaching Series.

"The success stories of the MTS books affirm that when students are given effective math textbooks they can excel," Aggor said, "no student is unsalvageable, and that there are gifted learners even among the poorest performing students."
