Math for the Digital Age looks great for getting both discrete math concepts and Python into a HS. That is a very different emphasis than physical sciences. If you are specifically doing physics and other continuous math, I would not recommend Math for the Digital Age. It does not appear to cover any concepts used by physical scientists, like vectors and speed. I'm not sure what would be a good Physics+Python intro. There may be some suggestion on the SciPy pages.
