Essential VCE Mathematics has a reputation for mathematical excellence, developed by a highly regarded team of teachers and mathematicians. This approach encourages understanding through a wealth of examples and exercises, an emphasis on VCE examination-style questions. The series has expanded to allow teachers and students to use textbooks geared to their choice of CAS and graphics calculators. Essential Mathematical Methods Units 1 & 2 CAS for the 2006 study design features TI-Nspire and Casio ClassPad calculator explanations, examples and problems in the text. Features: foundation questions allow students to grasp concepts before moving to higher order questions, examples are now cross-referenced to problems, independent learning chapter reviews that include a summary, multiple-choice, short-answer (technology-free), extended-response questions, a comprehensive glossary of terms, a free student CD-ROM containing a PDF of the book with links to additional features, interactive multiple-choice, drag-and drop-tests.
