Student Edition 1993: First Edition

Our children used Saxon from 54 to 87, then moved on to advanced math, calculus and physics and they have excelled with this method. Although my background doesn't include an emphasis in math or science, my husband's education and professional life is steeped in these subjects. He's enthusiastic about Saxon because it creates such a strong foundation. Using this incremental method of learning made homeschooling through high school a breeze and our college-age children sailed through their college math courses as well. In hindsight, it would be easy to choose it again.

This the clearest, best physics book I have seen. Each lesson reviews every skill previously taught to aid in retention of concepts and skills. I recommend it very highly.

Using an incremental approach Mr. Saxon develops an understanding on the part of those who work the problems that surpasses that gained using other aroaches. Problem topics are mixed in each set with those from previous sections thus the student learns not just how to do problems in an isolated context but in many different contexts. This addresses a long-standing impediment to learning physical science: how are previous tools and principles used in combination and in different contexts. However: Where is the solutions manual?
