What is Fred’s Home Companion?
It is lots of things. Ever since
Life of Fred: Beginning Algebra,
Life of Fred: Advanced
Algebra, and
Life of Fred: Trigonometry
were first published, I have received requests from home schoolers, teachers, and adults for a study guide to accompany these Life of Fred books. The three books pictured below are a response to those needs.


Need #1: I’m a home schooler and I would like my Life of Fred chopped up into
daily bite-sized pieces.
Done! Fred’s Home Companion offers you daily assignments. In the space of
one summer, for example, you can finish all of Life of Fred: Beginning Algebra and still have
plenty of time to do other things.
Need #2: I’m an adult working my way through your Life of Fred and I’d
like the answer key for the end-of-the-chapter problems. In the Life of Fred book you
give the answers to only half the problems.
Done! Here is the answer key.
Need #3: I’m in need of a lot of practice. Although you have a lot of
problems for me to work on in Life of Fred, I want a bunch more. I really
want to pound it into my head.
Done! In this book we supply a ton of additional problems. Finish all of
these problems in addition to the ones in Life of Fred, and you should be able to
join Fred as a professor of mathematics at KITTENS University.
