More of what you loved about the first edition
An author team you trust, with unrivalled expertise in writing examples and problems that prepare students for external exams, now with additional consultant authors and reviewers with extensive classroom experience.
A proven teaching and learning formula well known to users of Cambridge textbooks:
In General, Methods and Specialist Mathematics, logical and manageable topic development is combined with step-by-step worked examples, key point summaries, a focus on cognitive verbs and worked solutions for all exercises in the Interactive Textbook.
Essential Mathematics encourages students to first become fluent with fundamental skills and concepts (Fundamentals questions) before applying those skills and concepts to real-world contexts (Applications questions). Students have access to vital revision and prerequisite knowledge through Cambridge HOTmaths.
Innovative digital resources fully integrated with the print textbook allow for a flipped classroom approach, a powerful Learning Management System and independent learning opportunities.
