Danica McKellar's Math Bites Debuts on Nerdist's YouTube Channel

Danica McKellar, the iconic girl next door from The Wonder Years who regularly holds court as a math expert these days (and occasionally does...something...with pineapples on How I Met Your Mother), launched a new webseries at The Nerdist this week, extolling the virtues of math. You can check out the first episode, all about Pi, embedded below, along with an official description from Nerdist. Stumped by Pi? Ambivalent about binary numbers? What if math superstar Danica McKellar (aka "Winnie Cooper" from The Wonder Years) made math…fun? Studies show 99% of humans hate math. And the other 1% is Danica McKellar. (Double check our math on that). Join The Nerdist Channel for Math Bites, the all new web series created and hosted by actress and bestselling author (Math Doesn't Suck, Kiss My Math), Danica McKellar.  As a certified math genius, Danica's mission in life is to help the rest of us hate math less.  And her Math Bites are bite sized videos designed to help you think about math without hurting your brain.  In each episode, Danica tackles another math mystery, from practical stuff like mastering percents when shopping, to the bigger questions of life, like "what's the big deal with Pi, anyway?"  Written, hosted, and directed by Danica, Math Bites are like a peek into her quick-thinking, kooky, math-addled brain.  After you watch them, you are a million-percent guaranteed to love math as much as she does.  (Again, double check our math on that.)

Join host Danica McKellar as she explains the joys and mysteries of the wonderful world of Pi! The irrational number, not the food. Welcome to Math Bites! New episodes every Thursday.
