Yes. Saxon Math books are excellent.

For those who need private tutoring, then it, too, is available.

Also,....The physics and chemistry courses for math, science, and engineering majors that I took as an undergrad were mastered nearly entirely **in the home**. It was the TA ( teaching assistant) who helped with the rest. The classroom lectures were nearly worthless.

By the way, my “fall back” plan for graduate school was engineering.

It shouldn’t cost a quarter of a million to practice a profession. A tenth of that is reasonable.

Thanks for the advice.

Absolutely agree about the cost; college truly is a racket.
