John Saxon's Story, a genius of common sense in math education

When John Saxon became a junior college algebra teacher after his military retirement, he was stunned by the mathematics deficiencies in his students, and the weak teaching materials he was asked to use. So he wrote and published his own algebra book in 1981. When he died in 1996, Saxon Publishers had annual sales in excess of $27 million. In this book, Nakonia Hayes tells the story of his life, his publishing venture, and his impact in the field of mathematics education.
