Saxon Calculus Program

Calculus is made up of four instructional components: Introduction of the New Increment, Examples with Complete Solutions, Daily Problem Sets, and Cumulative Tests. Calculus treats all the topics normally covered in an Advanced Placement AB-level calculus program, as well as many from a BC-level program.(Note: Advanced Placement, Advanced Placement Program, and AP are registered trademarks of the College Board, which was not involved in the production of, and does not endorse, this product.)

The text begins with a review of the mathematical concepts and skills required for calculus. In the early problem sets, students practice setting up word problems they will later encounter as calculus problems. The problem sets contain multiple-choice and conceptually-oriented problems similar to those found on the Advanced Placement examination. Whenever possible, an intuitive introduction precedes a rigorous examination of a concept. Proofs are provided for all important theorems. For example, three proofs, one intuitive and two rigorous, are given for the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus. Numerous applications to physics, chemistry, engineering, and business are also treated in both the lessons and the problem sets. Use of this text has allowed students to take the Advanced Placement examination and score well.

Calculus Homeschool Kit Contents

Solutions Manual

Includes black and white hardbound student text, and Pb answer key (final answers only-no documentation or explanations), with test/solutions packet plus the appropriate Saxon solution manual. "Unless you were an absolute whiz in algebra and you also remember what was involved, you will find the Saxon Home Study Kit is inadequate; you truly need the solution manual that documents how to acquire the answer . . . . (We should know; we've tried to do without. It's no fun! -And I was an algebra whiz. Too bad I've forgotten so much!)

Note that it is not by our choice that we 'force' you to purchase the answer key and test packet in addition to the solution manual. Saxon Publishers will not sell the student text by itself to homeschoolers. You must buy the full home study kit, including answer key and tests; then Saxon will permit you to purchase the solution manual as well."
