Good article but terrible headline writing as usual. I thought that someone went to war based upon faulty mathematics when I started to read...lol.
Thanks for sharing.. my kids hate math so Saxon is quite inspirational.

Saxon saved my education. Having been subjected to new math at a public high school, I despaired of ever understanding higher math. The modernist deconstructed pedagogy almost completely overcame even my rigid Catholic primary education.

I was introduced to Saxon in a college algebra course and his incremental approach combined with practical application was a profound departure from the modern mess. While I still suffer from an acute mathematics phobia, his materials provided a basis to finish calculus. Saxon is one of my heroes; he took on the educational establishment and won.

Fr’s very own UltraSonic007 was home schooled with Saxon math. He got a full ride through his masters in mathematics, magna cum laude.

Saxon is the real deal.
