Teaching Math to Maddox

TEACHING MATH TO MADDOX is the tale of a relationship that begins when Maddox, a young man badly in need of mathematical help, encounters Polly, a young woman with precisely the sort of talent Maddox needs. Over the course of their relationship, Polly teaches Maddox to solve mathematical problems he had never been able to solve before. With each chapter, Maddox is raised (as is the reader) to a higher level of mathematical understanding.

As one might expect, the story has a very happy aftermath.
