GCSE Level Mathematics in Large Print - Book 3 (Bk. 3)

This book provides straight forward and concise notes on some of the topics required for successful study of GCSE, IGCSE, or SQA Standard Grade Mathematics. It is the third in what will be a short series of Large Print textbooks covering most of the topics in the above-mentioned courses. The print size is generally 20-point or above.

This book continues where Book 2 left off, and consists of the remaining topics in Algebra (such as Quadratic Factorisation, Solving Quadratic Equations and solving both Linear and Quadratic Inequalities). Exercises and Answers are included.

Without detracting from the mathematical content, the author has attempted to explain the subject matter in a clear and readable way, providing annotated worked examples of answers to exam-level questions.

His tutoring experiance has led the author to believe that the most effective way of teaching mathematics at the secondary level is to adopt a generally 'traditional' approach. Over-reliance on calculators, together with attempts in some books to make maths 'cool' by the addition of comical graphics or cartoon characters, do tend (in his opinion) to be counterproductive. The 'traditional' approach has therefore been used in the writing of this book. The author makes no apology for emphasising the importance of knowing, for example, the Multiplication Tables or how to 'cancel-down' a fraction.
