Ph.D. Stanley F. Schmidt

My daughter Louisa used to hate math. Then we discovered The Life of Fred and now she LOVES math! At first, I was highly suspicious as I listened to Louisa laugh through her math lessons and totally enjoy doing them. I was stunned to watch her go straight for math when she started her homeschool work each morning. I picked up the book and read an outlandish story about a miniature boy named Fred and all his adventures. I was impressed to say the least! How could a girl who hates math actually be enjoying? I contacted Stan Schmidt, the author of the Life of Fred, and a retired college math professor of 28 years whose self-proclaimed mission is to help kids love math. I asked him, "How do I know a student who does Life of Fred will retain it?," to which he replied, "How much of your school algebra did you retain?" Ouch! If you have a creative child who is languishing on traditional math programs, you'll love Life of Fred! Beware: This is not a traditional math book. This is a child-directed course. The student reads the adventure story, does the math problems that occur as a natural part of the story, and checks their answers (the solutions are right there for the looking.) And learns to love math in the process!

Fred's Home Companion--Beginnning Algebra

From author's Preface - Since Life of Fred: Trigonometry (LOF) was first published, there have been requests from home schoolers, teachers and adults who are learning trig. This book is a response to those needs. It offers you 94 daily reading. Each one tells you what part of the book you'll be covering. Lots of the lessons include new problems not in the LOF book. These can serve as your lecture notes or as material for pop quizzes or for tests. The answers are also supplied to these problems. Finish all of these problems in addition to the ones in LOF and you should be able to join Fred as a professor of mathematics. (Description by http-mart)

Fred's Home Companion--Trigonometry

This book takes a slightly different approach. It tells a story -- a story of one day in the life of a five-and-a-half-year-old boy. All of the math arises out of Fred's life. All of it is motivated -- right down to when Fred is working at the PieOne pizza place, and he's trying to decide whether to put the tomatoes on the pizza before of after it's cooked and we get the commutative law. -- book (p. 8).

Life of Fred: Fractions

This is the last arithmetic book. After you finish the 192 pages of this book you will be ready for algebra. There are 33 chapters. Each chapter is a lesson. Just like Life of Fred: Fractions, after each five chapters you will come to The Bridge, which will give you a chance to show that you know the math before you move on tot he next chapter. The main danger in the Life of Fred books is that the readers enjoy them too much.
