John Saxon (educator)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
For other persons named John Saxon, see John Saxon (disambiguation).
John H. Saxon Jr. (1923 – 17 October 1996) was a U.S. air officer and educator. Saxon flew 55 missions in a B-26 Night Intruder during the Korean War. After the war, he wrote or co-wrote a series of nine mathematics textbooks for kindergarten through high school which use an incremental teaching method often called "Saxon math". His books have gained popularity among certain "traditionally"-oriented groups of homeschoolers and private schools, but are also used in a number of public schools. While editing a calculus book in October 1996 with mathematician R. Abraham Edwards, Saxon died due to a complicated illness.
