Endorsed by the OCR for use with "Additional Maths (FSMQ)", this textbook covers the exact requirements of the specification. It should be a useful text for Higher Tier students taking their GCSE early as they can gain a recognised qualification without having to embark on their AS modules. It gives students a taster of AS/A Level maths and aids their choice of AS/A Level modules. It should also be ideal for students who intend to follow AS/A Level further maths by giving them a "head start" on their course. The content of the course covers four areas from pure mathematics: algebra, coordinate geometry, trigonometry and calculus and three areas from applied mathematics: statistics, mechanics and decision and discrete maths.
