Media Reviews
These books provide a thorough grounding in maths. Detailed explanations are given through graded exercises, practical work, investigations and puzzles. The material is neatly laid-out, well organised with clear instructions and excellent diagrams, and very informative. The author even brings in fascinating snippets of history throughout the books: how the Egyptians wrote fractions, the history of the penny and of percentages, the origin of imperial units and much more. For instance, did you know that it was the Greeks who established the 'foot' as their basic unit of length and that, according to legend, this Greek unit was based on the measurement of Hercules' foot? I am very impressed by the quality of material, which is very substantial both in content and in weight (these books are heavy!) and would definately recommend them as a complete course. Home Education Advisory Service Bulletin Book 3 builds upon the substantial foundations provided by So you really want to learn Maths Books 1 and 2. It provides more than sufficient examples and exercises to stretch and inspire potential scholars. David Hanson, Leader of the ISEB 11+ Mathematics setting team, Member of the ISEB 13+ Mathematics setting team, Member of the ISEB Editorial Board It is great to have a book that contains the syllabus that is required to extend the able at Common Entrance and to use towards scholarship. It continues to be clearly laid out. All in all it is a great asset to school teachers to have lots of examples relevant to their syllabus all in one book. Moira Laffey, The Old Malthouse School What a splendid book. I particularly like the way in which Serena has bought the history of mathematics into much of the work and the excellent activities at the end of each chapter. Just the thing to enthuse our most able mathematicians and give them a solid foundation for scholarship work. Mark Potter, Sandroyd School
