What is the best calculus software program to buy for college level tutoring?

I am not sure what you actually want to do. Do you want a package that does calculus? Then what is wrong with Mathematica? \n\nI have used several different computer algebraic manipulators, like MACSYMA and REDUCE and MUMATH and SMP and so on. There are some advantages and disadvantages to each. But Mathematica is not a bad choice and is well supported.

If you're looking for higher level math, http://collegeboard.com/student/testing/ap/calculus_ab/samp.html?calcab has some calculus questions from old AP tests.

Try...\n(1) The phone book  (Beware of tutoring companies! they are expensive!!!! I wouldn't pay more than $20 per hour!)\n(2) call the counselling office at your local college to see if they can reommend a tutor.\n(3) Look online.... go to yahoo, type in the name of your city and the word "tutor".\n(4) If you just need a few answers to questions, you might consider online tutoring or homework help through email:\nhttp://www.tutor-homework.com ($15 per hour)\nhttp://www.ineedahelpinghand.com (various tutors w/ various prices).\n(5) Depending on the level of math, you might be able to hire a high school student who is good at math to tutor your son.\n\nGood luck!

Try http://www.k12.com\nThis one is expensive, but very high quality. I use it with one of my homeschooled children. Much of the curriclum is delivered directly via the online school and the lesson planning/scheduling tools are fantastic! The parent is still the primary instructor.\n\nIf the main reason you are looking into online homeschooling is that you wish to have a teacher do the teaching, you have a broader array of options than just online curriculum. Abeka has a video-based homeschool version of its curriculum. The students watch the videoa of real classroom teachers. With yet another option the student sends thier work in to the teacher for grading and all student records are maintained by the school. \n\nHere are some additional video or computer-based curriculums and supplements:\n\nVideotext Algebra. This series of video modules will take the student from introductory algebra through algebra II. The series has been donated to our homeschool lending library, but we have not used it personally.\n\nDIVE CD-ROMs for Saxon Algebra and for several of the major science curriculums. We have used the DIVE supplement to the Saxon Advanced Mathematics textbook. It provides a computerized whiteboard demonstration of a teacher working through the example problems. It does not give the whiteboard solutions to every problem in the text. There is a new video curriculum out that works out every problem's solution, but I have not been able to remember the name of it. Some internet research might turn it up for you.\n\nCybered - Most of the science courses are offered from midle school level to high school. We have several of these and have used their online subscription service while they had it. These are excellent!\n\nSwitched On Schoolhouse. This one is a complete curriculum with all the instruction, record keeping, and testing being done via computer. I used a trila of this many years ago. It looked pretty good.\n\nThe Institute for Excellence in Writing now has a DVD version of their composition curriculum. We used the teacher led version for our writing co-op a few years ago and it was wonderful. I have not seen the DVD version, but it is taught by Dr. Padewa himself. It should be excellent. One of the students who graduated from our co-op using the teacher led version won a state level composition contest and my son scored in the top 94th percentile in rhetoric on his ACT test. It is really good.\n\nThere are many new online high schools now that I have not researched. Includeing several run by major universities. A bit of research should turn up several of them. I have a few links in 'My Favorites' that I saved a while back. You can start here:\nhttp://www.highschoolhub.org/hub/hub.cfm\nhttp://www.homeschoolersofmaine.org/high_school_&_beyond.htm#Free%20Online%20Courses\nhttp://www.cis.upenn.edu/~brada/homeschooling.html

I highly recommend a good tutor.  The one on one attention really helps and it's much more comfortable asking questions. Worked wonders for me!

take class, easier. plans to study math on cd less solid (for most people), than having to do it every day in class.  (learned 80% of my calculus the night before the AP test, got a 5 out of 5)

Check out Stewart's Calculus(refer to the first link). If you are looking for something  more rigorous refer to Apostol's Calculus(refer to second link).

There are several good books. But Calculus with applications...Leithold - vol. 1 and 2 is very clear and present a lot of solved examples in each matter.

Get "Calculus for Dummies."  It is an amazing prep book.

My dad uses edhelper.com, for my younger sister, and it works great!\nThey have printouts and activites for you to there to learn. \n\nThey also have many catagories. So click on "math, then "5th grade" then the kind of division you are looking for.\nSuch as work problems or long division.

Before you spend the money, check and see if your school checks them out.  Many schools do this, and then you can decide if you'll use it enough later in life to purchase it.  For instance, my high school checked out TI-82s to us, and then I ended up buying an 83 when I got to college.\n\nAlso, be aware the some teachers do not allow you to use your own calculators on tests due to the fear of cheating.  You might end up having to learn how to do it all on a basic calculator anyway, so that might affect how "worth it" it is to you.\n\nPersonally, I feel a TI-83 or so is plenty worth it.  My teachers always let us program whatever we wanted into our calculators anyway, because our tests were such that we had to show our understanding, and not just spit back facts and formulas.
