Description
Cambridge Mathematics 3 Unit Year 12 spans the full range of NSW 3 Unit Mathematics students' abilities. In each exercise, the book provides a large number and a great variety of questions that are carefully graded and range from quite easy to very demanding. The book provides links to other topics and requirements for explanation in the style of recent HSC papers and is designed to expand and develop the wide range of student abilities through extensive and aptly graded exercises. There is a large number of fully worked examples and theory is logically developed and clearly explained. Chapters are systematically divided into manageable sections which consist of a substantial exercise preceded by theory and worked examples. The exercises are divided into three groups: foundation, development, and extension.
