The two books in this series provide complete coverage of Units I and II of the new CAPE Pure Mathematics syllabus. They offer a sound platform for students pursuing courses at tertiary institutions throughout the Caribbean. Each topic is covered in depth with additional material in areas that students find most challenging.Key features:• Objectives at the beginning of each chapter aid planning, focus learning and confirm syllabus coverage• Key terms are highlighted to develop students’ vocabulary throughout the course• A wide variety of exercises develops students’ knowledge, application and ability in all areas of the syllabus• Worked solutions throughout the text provide students with easy-to-follow examples of new concepts• Graded exercises at the end of each section can be used to check students’ understanding and monitor progress• Checklists and at-a-glance summaries at the end of each chapter encourage students to review their understanding and go back over areas of weakness• Examination-style questions at the end of each module give students plenty of practice in the types of questions they’ll meet in the examinationsAbout the authorDipchand Bahall has over 20 years’ experience teaching Advanced Level Mathematics at Presentation College, Chaguanas, and St Joseph’s Convent, St Joseph, in Trinidad and Tobago, and at Cayman Prep and High School. He holds a Masters Degree in Statistics, a Diploma in Education (Teaching of Mathematics) and a BSc in Mathematics. Dipchand is presently a Senior Instructor at The University of Trinidad and Tobago, Point Lisas Campus.Please note that this is an eBook version of this title and can NOT be printed.
