 an absolutely superb book!, 2007-01-22
This is an absolutely great book. At over 1000 pages it's a real opus - covering everything from ordinary differential equations, linear algebra, vector calculus, fourier analysis, complex analysis and probability. It's exceptionally well written - with plenty of clear examples, diagrams and exercises - constantly cross referencing back to the particular idea or formula that an example is employing. It presupposes only elementary calculus - and so makes an excellent university textbook to accompany study, or as a self-study book to further your maths knowledge.
I wish all maths books were this well written!

A brilliant help on the step to World of Statistics, 2005-01-13
I shamed to admit that after 20 years work in medicine and research reading this book gave me understanding of many seemed to me terrible features of statistics. I dreamed of reading such book for a long time. I only can say "later better than never" and I am very happy and pleased that I found this book. English is not my first language but even that this book so easy readable and an excellent tutor. I wish it will be translated to other many languages.
Thank you, dear Frances Clegg. I fill like a shroud has been taken from my eyes and now World of Statistics has opened its door to me.

The perfect partner for helping your children with their homework , 2007-11-30
Having met my daughter's maths teacher who showed me this book to be the foundation of her teachings to all the children in Year 3 (7/8 year olds) I knew that this, together with Books 1,2,3,5 & 6, would be the ideal support for homework assistance. Until I bought this from Amazon, I had no guidelines at all and didn't know if the arithmetic I was 'teaching' at home was too hard, too easy or just plain useless. Now with this book I have the perfect assistant, because I know that the specific topics covered and the level of difficulty is exactly matched to what my daughter is studying at school, so it's an excellent revisionary tool, and it's even enjoyable too! Strongly recommended, I have no doubt that with regular use of this book at home my daughter, and her younger sister when her time comes, will have a much better chance of making the necessary grade in Year 6 and go on to our local grammar school. Sounds a bit over-the-top, but in its way, this little book can actually change the course of your children's lives - because the difference between our local grammar school and the comprehensive school is obvious for all to see. Getting a good grade at Arithmetic at age 11 is a fundamental requirement to being selected for a school offering better standards of education and in turn better opportunities in the future. I bought Books 1 through to 6 and I'm pleased I did.

 Core 1 Maths, 2006-03-09
Amazing quality and simplistic to use. Apart from the few errors, worked examples and tons of exam-style questions helped me gain experience before I sat this exam. Suited to everybody with colour, image and self-testing questions. You can practically teach it to yourself!!

Making Sense of Mathematics, 2008-07-28
I have become addicted to the "Very Short Introduction" series, offering the knowledge-hungry layman a great way to gain insight into a wide variety of topics. For me, mathematics is a subject which I was happy to close the book on in upper school, and it seems I was not alone in lacking enthusiasm for the subject which was impressed upon hapless students as being so important (why maths is so dreaded by many is a question this book seeks to answer, amongst many other "FAQ's" of this kind).
Rather than presenting a mass of complex formulae to prove various points, the book takes the approach of explaining the practical applications of mathematics, such as why modelling is relevant in many different situations, and how an understanding of patterns can be of value. Teaching mathematics from such a practical stand-point is a trick modern school education may be missing, yet the book suggests this might be the key for a new generation to understand what's being taught and actually getting excited about the subject.
Rather than being a dry read best left for boffins and insomniacs, this is a book which provokes thought and puts this fascinating subject in a whole new light.

Thanks, 2006-02-22
The contents of this book should be printed on gold leaf!
A person found time to record this work whilst facing death.
A work that removes the shroud of mystery that covers a branch of mathematics that holds painful memories for many people.
Mental Maths.
Mathematicians manipulate numbers with ease; general members of the public or school kids don't.
This book shows worked examples of how to do various calculations easier and quicker than 'conventional' means.
Example.
23 x 11
2 is the 'first digit'
3 is the 'last digit'
2 + 3 is the 'middle digit'
So 23 x 11 = 253
Many more examples and information are presented, so that with practice the 'sums' can be done in your head.
It's maths without the tears.

Absolute essential for this course. Written by the same people who write the exam, meaning you get a huge advantage from having this specific book rather than other generic "C#" textbooks. Quite simply, if you can do all the excercises in the book easily, you WILL get a grade A in your exam.

SUPERB ENGINEERING BOOK!!, 2006-01-23
Now i don't normally write reviews - but i think if anything ought to be reviewed it should be this, quite easily one of the best textbooks ive ever used. I won't go in to how its gonna be the main thing helping me pass my first year at university as countless others have already done that. What i will say is this: If you're at university, doing an engineering course and you buy one maths book, buy this! Seriously. You won't regret it.
