Description

DESCRIPTION

Written for the OCR AS/A Level Mathematics specifications for first teaching from 2017, this print Student Book and Cambridge Elevate edition covers the content for AS and first year of A Level. It balances accessible exposition with a wealth of worked examples, exercises and opportunities to test and consolidate learning, providing a clear and structured pathway for progressing through the course. It is underpinned by a strong pedagogical approach, with an emphasis on skills development and the synoptic nature of the course. Available online and on tablet devices through the Cambridge Elevate app. Includes answers to aid independent study.
