Description
There is an increasing problem with AS and A level physics students not being able to cope with the mathematical content of the courses. The mathematical level reached at GCSE is not high enough for pupils to deal with the maths encounters at AS/A Level. In addition, physics students often have problems relating the maths concepts they have studied to physics questions. This photocopiable resource is aimed at helping physics teachers by providing students with guidelines, worked examples and practice questions in the key areas of difficulty. In addition, as the examples all come from physics contexts the sheets can be used as useful revision and homework activities for all physics students.
