Description
"Foundation Maths" is designed to pave the way into higher education for those students who have not specialized in mathematics at A level. It is intended for non-specialists who need some, but not a great deal of mathematics as they embark on careers in higher education. It takes students from around the lower levels of GCSE to a standard which will enable them to participate fully in a degree or diploma course. It is suitable for foundation and access courses in mathematics and for those who wish to enter a wide range of courses such as marketing, business studies, management, science, engineering, social science, geography, combined studies and design. The style of the book also makes it suitable for self-study or distance learning. Objectives are clearly stated at the beginning of each chapter, and key points and formulas are highlighted throughout the book. Self-assessment questions are provided at the end of most sections. These test understanding of important features in the section and answers are provided. These are followed by exercises for which answers are also available.
A further set of test and assignment exercises is given in each chapter, but solutions are not provided to these.
