For the current edition of Saxon Math Calculus.

Make sure the DIVE CD you order is the same edition as the book you will be using.

Each DIVE Math lesson is taught along with several practice problems per lesson. Lessons are short and interactive, which minimizes time spent staring at a computer screen.

Easily rewind, pause, and fast forward with the click of a mouse.

Easy access to previously taught lessons that have been forgotten.

Dr. David Shormann, instructor, has over 6000 hours of teaching experience in science and mathematics.

Dr. Shormann's Christian testimony is included on each CD, and several math lessons begin with an encouraging Bible verse.

Every lesson in Saxon Calculus (2nd edition) is taught step-by-step on a digital whiteboard by Dr. Shormann, who has thousands of hours of experience teaching Saxon Math and Bob Jones Science. Students see and hear everything the instructor is writing and saying on a whiteboard on their computer screen. It is just like being in a real classroom, except there is no teacher in the way. Students learn by working practice problems that are similar, but not identical to the practice problems in the Saxon text. If students need more practice, they can work the problems in the text in addition to the DIVE problems explained on the CD. Easily re-wind, fast-forward, and pause with the click of a mouse.

Saxon Calculus (2nd edition) teaches the following concepts: Calculus is designed for prospective mathematics majors and students interested in engineering, computer science, physics, business or the life sciences. The program covers all topics in the Advanced Placement Calculus AB and Calculus BC syllabi. Instruction takes full advantage of graphing calculators, using them for visual demonstrations of concepts and confirming calculations. Major topics are: limits, functions, trigonometry, derivatives and differentials, integrals, and polynomial approximations and series. Applications to physics, chemistry, engineering and business are included as well. DIVE lectures taught from a Christian worldview and emphasize that mathematics is a tool for studying God's creation and an excellent way to develop logical thinking skills, particularly deductive reasoning. Calculus 2nd edition differs from the 1st edition in 4 major ways: 1) Each problem is referenced as to what lesson it was taught in. This is an invaluable tool, especially when a student gets "stuck" and needs a brief review of the concept. 2) It prepares students for both the Calculus AB and BC Advanced Placement (AP) exams. 3) It takes 3 semesters for most students to complete (148 lessons) 4) Graphing calculators are used more extensively, not as a replacement for learning, but as a wonderful tool used to improve understanding. It is definitely a better book than the 1st edition!
