 Algebra HELP!, 2005-11-14
I've just started a university course that i needed a little element of Algebra to make certain calculationsThis book explains topics very well. The only things which i think it lacks is having questions that the reader can work through to improve their own skills. Great book, but only good for reference/understanding.

Euclid
By Dover Publications Inc.
not for the faint of heart..., 2002-10-24
Euclid begins by stating a few a definitions and logical rules. 'A line is a breathless length' and 'Things that are equal to the same thing are equal to each other'. The proofs that follow are simple and elegant. The second flowing from the first in a natural sequence. But this is no higgledy piggledy random wandering. In the first book the author leads the reader to Pythagoras theorem. Just as every statement Euclid makes is essential to the proof, every proof is essential to the book's goal. The clarity and beauty of this book is something to behold Heath's commentary is a very interesting complement. He provides alternative ancient and modern proofs as well as notes on the historical development of the mathematics. A word of warning - this book took me about six months to read. I was unable to follow the book without following the proofs with a compass, ruler etc. However, if you are prepared to put in the time the rewards are considerable.

Best book for AS core (C1 + C2), 2008-06-19
Up until recently I use to use the Heinemann offerings to teach the C1 and C2 modules. While these were ok and the results obtained were good, they do not come close in comparison to this book that covers both C1 and C2.
The explanations are so much better. More time is taken to explain concepts and there are more worked examples. The format for each chapter is an introductory section stating what you are expected to know. This is followed by a number of sections that include the required theory, worked examples, excercises and open ended investigations. at the end of the chapter there is a review of all the work studied and a concise summary.
The pathetically easy material contained in the first chapter of the Heinemann C1 book has been removed. Instead a CD-ROM is included with the book. This contains a bridging course (pdf) containing elementary material, an e-book (pdf) containing the entire contents of the book and some very useful powerpoint presentations. These materials are excellent and seem to be specifically designed for the teacher. Each pdf page is in fact a double-page spread of a book or bridging course. These could be used in conjunction with an overhead projector or interactive whiteboard. If the teacher wants something interactive, then the powerpoint slides could be used in the same manner. For a student buying the book, they can of course be used at home as well.
All-in-all this represents the best preparation for the C1 and C2 exams. There is incremental development of topics in very easy stages, leading up to exam-level questions. There are also two specimen exam papers and a complete set of answers to all questions at the back of the book. With the addition of materials on the CD-ROM it represents very good value for money.
I highly recommend this book.

Well worth the money!, 2007-09-02
This book is certainly worth the money! I would recommend it for any teacher - I've been teaching for 9 years and there were lots of new ideas in here I will be using. Highly practical, (and above all fun), games are in it. Great for your auditory and kinesthetic learners. Very easy to read. Sections are separated well. A book to have on your desk ready for any maths lesson!

An essential resource for any IGCSE Maths candidate, 2008-03-30
This revision guide has everything you need to get the grade you know you are capable of receiving. It sets out the topics in the syllabus clearly, and distinguishes between the core and extended syllabuses. There are a few practice papers included, and some descriptions of the grade expectations, although they could be more specific with the separate grades. Some more practice papers would be appreciated as well. However, this is a simple, clearly laid out book that has all the information you need to do IGCSE Maths.

An excellent stats book for any Biology student, 2000-11-01
I currently am doing a degree in Zoology at university and decided upon purchasing this book for my course. It easily summarises all aspects of statistics which cover and surpass the requirements of the statistics involved in Biology data collection. Every aspect is easily laid out with a formula, an explanation of the parts of the formula and how and when you use that formula in Field Biology. The appendices at the back cover in detail, any tables for formulae throughout the book. Any statistics is easy in Biology with "Practical Statistics for Field Biology", nothing is left for you to question. Everything is explained in enough detail for anyone with any amount of previous mathematical knowledge. A must buy if you rely on statistics in Biology!

A meal WITH 4 friends means five people altogether.
£25.50 per head is close enough although it does make for a lousy tip!
