Format:Paperback
Having taught A level Mathematics for twenty years I have found this text to be sound and comprehensive. Clear examples are followed by graded exercises and past examination questions. The language is suitable for students of this age-group and the depth of coverage suits all abilities. The text is a very good primer for A level Further Mathematics. This book is good value for money and a must for the A level Mathematics student.

I have just spent the past 2 years struggling through my A level maths course, and thanks to this book I just might pass. THe examples are clear and relavent and therer are enough practice questions to help you learn the topics and exam style questions to see if you can do the real thing. Anybody who has decided to suffer the A level syllabus should use it, otrherwise you will find your 2 years hell.

Format:Paperback
I have recently used this book largely as a revision tool having completed A level Maths some two years before and must praise the succinct nature of the text. An early introductory chapter dealing with pre-A level material is essentially a condensed run through of the GCSE concepts most students will be comforatble with. The usual algebra, trig, series, geometry topics are presented establishing a firm basis for furhter study. The Calculus material is first class, encompassing 4 sections devoted to traditonal calculus moving on to intergration by parts and methods for the solution of differential equations. Finishing with a topic on Numerical methods, a must for those on further maths courses.
It is essntially a whole pure maths course in one volume, however due to the terseness of the material, using it as a tutorial will bring about frustration and some confusion. As a tool for revision and consolodation, it's first class and long may it reign as the king of my bookshelf.
