Mathematics

This study guide covers a combination of traditional and modern maths in the manner favoured by the London Board and the AEB, with additional material to cater for the requirements of the other major boards. The aims of the book are to explain the theory and techniques as simply as possible in jargon-free language, to demonstrate the presentation of logical arguments using worked-out examples and to encourage an overall mathematical way of thinking. There are chapters on number, formulae, equations, graphs, calculus, area and volume, speed, distance and time, geometry, triganometry, vectors, matrices and probability. Common pitfalls will be pointed out and warned against.
