Customer Reviews

A great basic reference book for Pure Mathematics

This was a core text for many British A-Level Mathematics students. It is a well written and easy to follow text book. The major flaw in an otherwise super text is that it has several typos and the occasional incorrect answer to self-test questions. These errors can hinder a student's understanding of a concept. However, over a decade and a half after completing my A-level studies I still refer to this text when helping students grasp pure math concepts.

It's Great for High School!

Well, A-level is for High School, not really for college level. I agree with Adel Douba that the book doesn't point out necessary information, but most of the college text books in US never mention what you have pointed out! Hey, for high school, it is a pretty good book, don't you agree? You don't see any high school book mentions anything about log(-8)[base -2] has no meaning, neither any of them mentions the unequality of a with 1. This is for college level!!! Again, A-level is just for Grade 9-12 in most of the other countries.
