Description
This book is part of a series of textbooks for the new AS and A Level Mathematics (2017). This covers the Applied Mathematics in Year 1/AS, specifically for the Edexcel specification. They are student-friendly and excellent in helping students to develop a genuine understanding of the concepts and ideas. Designed specifically for the new A Level, they have a strong emphasis on problem solving. Tough worked examples are broken down in designated `break-it-down' sections, helping to scaffold difficult problems for students. The textbooks complement our schemes of work for the new A Level Maths that have been designed and praised by teachers. Samples of these textbooks can be found on our website: www.crashmaths.com/textbooks.
