For Dummies

I've found the "_ for Dummies" series to be quite clear for math. I used Linear Algebra for Dummies to brush up on some concepts recently to solve a problem at work.

I myself started to program at the age of 11. At that time my father bought a book and learned a little Visual Basic, he then got introduced it to me and I was hooked. After that I borrowed an old book he had on HTML/CSS (creating webpages) and after that I started picking up books in the library. I think that you should try to let her learn to create webpages with HTML & CSS, and then later she could try to learn JavaScript. It's an relatively easy place to start, and you're learning real world skills. I tend to disagree with people who want children to learn "Python Scratch" or other toys that you'll never get any use for. Theres a lot of resources online (ex. http://www.w3schools.com/html/default.asp), and on YouTube. But I will always recommend to start with a good book, the "For Dummies" series is usually very good (ex. "Beginning HTML5 and CSS3 For Dummies").

I second the OCW reference. Some of the Calculus for Dummies, type books are good. Its good to remember that Calculus and Linear Algebra don't have to be that complicated. I also recommend scan the books before you buy them, I wasted far too much money at college on txtbooks that I ended up despising
