 A mathematical Ahh November 6, 2002

Core Maths for - Advanced Level is an excellent textbook if you want to study from home. The math is laid out gradually building on previous chapters, all you need to know is some GCSE algebra before you start the textbook. The techniques were explained very well with plenty of exercises and exam questions. I'm not that good at maths but I still managed to work through most of the text on my own. Definitely worth investing in.
The best A Level Pure Text June 21, 2002

This is a superb book, and if you were to own just one text for the pure component of A Level Maths, this would be it. The explanations are as simple to understand as is possible and typical A Level questions and solutions are shown throughout. The two colour concept, which is new to the third edition can be handy, as can the formula summaries at the end of each section. Without doubt, brilliant...!
My favourite maths book of all time November 5, 2006

Back in the early 1990's I received a grade C in GCSE Maths. I wanted to study A-level, but the teachers didn't want to let me; somehow I convinced them to give me a chance. I decided to invest in some books, and picked up a few that I thought looked good, one of those being Core Maths. Most A-level books were pitched at a higher level that I could understand, whereas Core Maths bridged the gap. I started working through the exercises at the start of the book (in my own time), and gradually from being the weakest Mathematician in a class of 30, I worked my way up to the top 2. I eventually received a grade A in A-level Maths, and also a C in Further Maths. I know have an honours degree in Maths and Statistics, and I don't believe I'd have it if it wasn't for that book.
My advice to anyone using the book, is to read the introductions, work through the examples, then practice as many questions as have you have time to, and check your answers in the back of the book. It was the actual 'doing' rather than the 'reading' that made all the difference for me.
I'm very grateful to the authors of this book!! Thank you!
An excellent reference covering the whole of A-level maths August 24, 2002

Since handing back my text books after completing 'A'-level maths, I was searching for a single book which would cover everything from my past two years of lessons to help me at University - this was the book I chose. It fulfils this purpose excellently proving an essential reference when searching for some technique you haven't used for a long time.All aspects of pure maths are covered well with ample examples and practise questions - all with answers. The layout and content are easy to understand and will guide you through any problem with which you are challenged from calculus to coordinate geometry. An excellent bible on 'A'-level mathematics. Buy it!
An outstanding A-level and solo study text! March 14, 2006

This book is arguably the best that you can buy on the market if you are either studying A-level maths are are a proficient mathematician to this level. As the other reviewers have said, you will need GCSE Maths to approach this text. I would say in addition that if you have taken the higher papers at GCSE, this book is a pure Aladin's cave of gems that span the whole and up-to-date syllabus taking you up to and possibly well into university level.I didn't take A-level Maths, but took a computer science degree and am an aspiring video games programmer. This book also has the added bonus of providing you with the vast majority of the content required to make you a proficient games developer. One last praise for this book. For those of you studying maths you may have noticed that certain terms pop-up in lessons that haven't quite been explained, like: surds, subtends, secants, etc. As this book encounters all such terms it is very careful to describe their precise meanings to avoid confusion further down the line that can trip you up and make you lose confidence. This books makes a determined effort to make maths appear easy to learn, and does a brilliant job of doing so if you have the background. It also gives you a hunger to study even more maths, and is a must for any proficient mathematician capable of A-level and beyond.
