A Marvellous Book - By: Ian Wild, 31 Jul 2007
I'm an independent maths tutor & one of my students (in fact studying for an economics degree) asked me to find a book that would give him a good grounding in maths (up through A Level to undergraduate standard). Trying to find a book that they could work from on their own was proving to be a talll order until I came across this one. This is a pretty hefty tome but it is very well laid out & very well written - as if the author was talking to you directly but without being either patronising or silly (as these books tend to be if the author tries a "chatty" style, for some reason). In fact my student thought this book so good when I lent it to them that they bought it off me & they haven't regretted it. So this review is reallly two very strong recommendations in one! An excellent buy for an A/S level & first year undergraduate student.
Excellent for those begining or brushing up on basics. - By: , 15 Apr 2001
The book begins with very simple priciples including simple algebra & dealing with fractions. From here it builds up on to more complex subject matter. Plenty of examples are given & exercises & summarys conclude each chapter, solutions are also provided. Those who have a limited knowledge of maths will find this book useful, as will those who are a little too used to using a calculator...it is exteremly helpful in the fields it covers. Perfect for those studying foundation maths, & would make a good companion for a more advanced, degree level textbook.
