For GCSE students aiming for the highest grades, Further Maths students, and those starting AS-level. Written for students who are already strong, and want to become stronger still.
Most textbooks show you one or two worked examples, then hand you fifty questions and hope for the best.
The student works through the first question or two fine, because it closely resembles what they just saw. Then they hit a question that looks noticeably different, and they're stuck. Not because they can't do maths, but because they were only ever shown one or two ways a topic could be dressed up.
This book does the opposite. Rather than a couple of worked examples propping up a huge exercise, it's built around an extensive collection of worked examples, covering as many of the situations a student is actually likely to meet. If you've genuinely seen enough variety, an exam question shouldn't be a surprise. You've met that shape of problem before, and you know how to approach it.
The full list of topics covered, across three parts and seven chapters.
An extensive collection covering the situations you're actually likely to meet, not just one or two per topic.
Small notes throughout flagging the kind of thing a teacher would actually say out loud in the room.
A plain, uncluttered design on purpose. No competing graphics. Just the maths.
Keep a piece of paper handy. Cover the solution, try the question, and slide the paper down one hint at a time.
Real pages from the book. Notice how the same careful, annotated style carries across very different topics — the red arrows explain every step, and Paul's Pointers flag what a teacher would say out loud.
