AI Thread Summary
A parent seeks recommendations for an algebra-based physics course or textbook suitable for their senior son, who is homeschooled under an umbrella school and requires state testing. Suggestions include two textbooks found on Amazon that provide comprehensive coverage of physics topics and are teacher-friendly. Additionally, a digital interactive program from Kinetic Books called Principles of Physics is mentioned as a potential resource. The discussion also highlights Dover books as a source for affordable, straightforward physics literature.

My son is a senior and is home schooled under an umbrella school in our state. I have to keep records etc and he has to do state testing.

My son wants to do physics this year and I need recommendations for a course or textbook he can use to self study and a teachers guide I can give him tests from, I have to be able to asses his knowledge. It could even be web based.

It needs to be algebra based as he has not had calculus yet.

Thank you

Thank you for your help. I will check these out. I was also looking at a program from Kinetic books Principles of Physics it is a digital book that is interactive.
Thank you

Also, check out Dover books on physics for some very, very cheap literature. The books are generally old fashioned style-ie to the point.
 
TL;DR Summary: What topics to cover to safely say I know arithmetic ? I am learning arithmetic from Indian NCERT textbook. Currently I have finished addition ,substraction of 2 digit numbers and divisions, multiplication of 1 digit numbers. I am moving pretty slowly. Can someone tell me what topics to cover first to build a framework and then go on in detail. I want to learn fast. It has taken me a year now learning arithmetic. I want to speed up. Thanks for the help in advance. (I also...
Hi community My aim is to get into research about atoms, specifically, I want to do experimental research that explores questions like: 1. Why do Gallium/Mercury have low melting points 2. Why are there so many exceptions and inconsistencies when it comes to explaining molecular structures / reaction mechanisms in inorganic and organic chemistry 3. Experimental research about fundamental Quantum Mechanics, such as the one being followed by Hiroshima university that proved that observing...
guys i am currently studying in computer science engineering [1st yr]. i was intrested in physics when i was in high school. due to some circumstances i chose computer science engineering degree. so i want to incoporate computer science engineering with physics and i came across computational physics. i am intrested studying it but i dont know where to start. can you guys reccomend me some yt channels or some free courses or some other way to learn the computational physics.
