Basic GCSE Maths is an easily readable course presenting the ideas of basic mathematics in a simple and appealing way, with a particular focus on the needs of the average student. The post-Dearing GCSE syllabus is the basis of Ewart Smith's text, but it is by no means exclusively for GCSE use. The main features are: - theory is presented clearly and concisely, and followed by carefully worked examples, showing how the theory applies to real life situations - 'in your head' and 'with your calculator' are treated as separate topics and continue to recur through the text - plenty of carefully graded exercises, multiple choice exercises and a self assessment test. Ewart Smith provides challenges across a broad range of basic mathematics and which will add to students' satisfaction at coming to terms with the basic concepts.
