| Summary: | "This book is intended to help students prepare for entrance examinations in mathematics and scientific subjects, including STEP (Sixth Term Examination Papers). STEP examinations are used by Cambridge colleges as the basis for conditional offers in mathematics and sometimes in other mathematics-related subjects. They are also used by Warwick University, and many other mathematics departments recommend that their applicants practice on past papers to become accustomed to university-style mathematics. Advanced Problems in Mathematics is recommended as preparation for any undergraduate mathematics course, even for students who do not plan to take the Sixth Term Examination Paper. The questions analysed in this book are all based on recent STEP questions selected to address the syllabus for Papers I and II, which is the A-level core (i.e. C1 to C4) with a few additions. Each question is followed by a comment and a full solution. The comments direct the reader's attention to key points and put the question in its true mathematical context. The solutions point students to the methodology required to address advanced mathematical problems critically and independently."--Publisher's website |

Advanced Problems in Mathematics is recommended as preparation for any undergraduate mathematics course, even for students who do not plan to take the Sixth Term Examination Paper. The questions analysed in this book are all based on recent STEP questions selected to address the syllabus for Papers I and II, which is the A-level core (i.e. C1 to C4) with a few additions. Each question is followed by a comment and a full solution. The comments direct the reader's attention to key points and put the question in its true mathematical context. The solutions point students to the methodology required to address advanced mathematical problems critically and independently."--Publisher's website Calculus Geometry Mathematics and science Mathematics MATHEMATICS Essays MATHEMATICS Geometry MATHEMATICS Pre-Calculus MATHEMATICS Reference Mathematics Study and teaching (Higher) Probabilities Calculus Problems, exercises, etc Geometry Problems, exercises, etc Mathematics Examinations, questions, etc Mathematics Problems, exercises, etc Probabilities Problems, exercises, etc Electronic books Examinations Problems and exercises https://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site&db=nlebk&AN=1166471 Verlag kostenfrei Volltext data file |
