Algebra 1 (Saxon Algebra 1)
by John SaxonThis text is the third edition of a widely used and now classic textbook. It is the first text in the Saxon secondary school mathematics series, which is comprised of three books: Algebra 1, Algebra 2, and Advanced Mathematics. Together, these three books form an integrated treatment of secondary school mathematics. Topics from secondary school mathematics, including a full year of plane geometry, have been integrated throughout the three-book series. At the suggestion of classroom teachers, many changes have been incorporated into the third edition. One innovation is the addition of lesson reference numbers in the problem sets. Beneath each problem number in the problem sets is a number in parentheses; this number refers to the lesson where the concept or skill required to solve the problem is introduced. Should you have difficulty solving a particular problem, refer to the lesson where the concepts and skills required to solve that problem are discussed.
