Features of the book

·    Mathematical processes are described in everyday language – mathematical ideas are usually developed by example rather than formal proof, thereby encouraging students’ learning.

·    Key points highlight important results that need to be referred to easily or remembered.

·    Worked examples are included throughout the book to reinforce learning.

·    Self-assessment questions are provided at the end of most sections to test understanding of important parts of the section. Answers are given at the back of the book.
