| FINLEY MAKES A MIXTURE... |
(THE DREADED WORD PROBLEMS of the UNDERGROUND ALGEBRAS) |
| In
the
Underground
Algebras,
Finley
is
our
hero...he's
an
all-American
boy
with
a
generous
supply
of
wit,
zits
and
laziness...but
he's
a
lot
of
fun
and
is
"coachable."
In
the
word
problems,
he
gets
in
and
out
of
trouble,
hitch-hiking
to
rock
concerts,
being
brought
home
by
female
truckers
and
in
general,
giving
his
teachers
a
few
fits
along
the
way.
Among
his
teachers...Mrs.
Bighead,
"teaching
math
a
hundred
years"
