Summary: I am not a supporter of Saxon.
Review: ....I preferred books that are written in chapter format. They are much easier to understand. I don't like the way Saxon used problem sets. There aren't enough practices for the lessons taught and too much problems from other lessons. I don't think that reviewing in such way is necessary, and I believe that it is better to give enough practices to the lessons that the students just learn.

Summary: Success speaks for itself!
Review: Contrary to the first reviewer, we have seen students understand math for the first time and thus enjoy it using Saxon math, going on to utilize it successfully in applied sciences. Math is not Disneyland; it is a discipline. A math text should not be judged by its entertainment value. If their education has not taught them to think, has instead taught them to expect to be entertained, it is no wonder students complain and become bored when faced with a text of substance. Our son was home schooled on the Saxon series, which are *excellent.* He is oriented toward engineering and has a 4.0 in his college work. I could repeat similar stories concerning myriad Saxon students. Success speaks for itself.

Summary: Another biophysicist offers an opinion
Review: Gee. I didn't realize a doctorate was even offered in "theoretical" biophysics. Oh well, I may be losing contact with the avant garde of my field, but I have been homeschooling two bright kids for...lessee, my son will be 14 in May, my daughter 11 in August, so quite a long time. "Saxon Math" has been and continues to be the cornerstone, both pedagogically and pragmatically, of math education in our household. I think the "incremental" philosophy of John Saxon is unassailable, this last view offered in the face of evidence from my own experience as well as from dozens of other committed homeschoolers of my acquaintance. The results speak for themselves: both of my children routinely score in the math 99 %tile on national achievement tests.(Sometimes I subject the kids to BOTH the "Iowa" AND the CAT. Pretty mean, huh?) I have heard of similar results from many others. Get Saxon, stick with the program, and math success is guaranteed, whether you are a math savant or, like me and mine, just hard working.

Summary: Saxon Algebra 1 Solutions Manual
Review: I am a 12 year old that is in algebra math. He describes and teaches well in his text, which makes you not even need a teacher. I learned algebra without anybody helping me, and I passed the SAT test with flying colors. Thanks Saxon!!
