Description
"Discovering Advanced Mathematics" is a series of four books designed to match the new generation of A and AS Level maths syllabuses and satisfy the requirements of the SCAA Common Core for Mathematics. This text shows the immediate application of pure mathematics and makes great use of modelling techniques. The book is divided into 29 short chapters, allowing teachers to match the book easily to their own teaching plans. It provides chapter introductions, chapter summaries, investigations and practicals, exercises and examination questions.
