Contemporary, comprehensive text A new syllabus in the UK, without a history of questions to drill students on, is an opportunity for a fresh approach. We start with the assumption that mathematics at A Level should deliver good students for higher level studies - in mathematics and science. Contributions from mathematicians in industry provide real world links that will help with understanding and motivation. Our approach is therefore practical and inspirational. Our student text for Year 1 provides an excellent and fresh look at how mathematics is taught - designed to prepare students for examinations by going through the curriculum thoroughly and expertly. But more than that, by making the first class problem solvers.
