TexShands Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 My DD is fairly set on continuing to use Saxon for Calculus this year. She has used Saxon since she started Algebra and it's familiar, but she used having Teaching Tape or Art Reed provide instruction. The problem is this still leaves her relying on me to provide help when she has difficulty (and I'm already feeling out my depth with Adv. Math). Is there a good, affordable, online program for Saxon Calculus that will allow her more independence? Is there a better math text that offers solid instruction that might build I'm a fashion similar to Saxon? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know anything about Saxon Calculus, but if you use a Larson textbook, you can have access to all of the odd solutions from the textbook for free at CalcChat.

SparklyUnicorn Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 I know there is DIVE. https://www.diveintomath.com/ap-calculus/ I have not used it and it's not secular. Not sure if that is a problem or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How can a calculus program not be secular??? It's just math, for heaven's sake! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But yeah, I had the same thought. Maybe that's a selling point for some people. :laugh: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kiana Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 How can a calculus program not be secular??? It's just math, for heaven's sake! I think it's more that DIVE in general is not secular and one could expect incidental and occasional references, particularly with respect to word problems. I'd also be quite interested in their coverage of radioactive decay and similar topics, which we usually did as an application of natural logarithms. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
