Mathematics: Analysis and Approaches HL has been written specifically for Higher Level students, using terminology and methods that sometimes differ from Standard Level.
Topics are organised according to the syllabus, making it easy to navigate when reviewing a topic from class as well as being a useful workbook to step through the subject systematically. The chapters in Mathematics: Analysis and Approaches HL are:
- Number and Algebra
- Functions
- Geometry and Trigonometry
- Statistics and Probability
- Calculus
- Maximising Your Marks
- Practice Questions
Each chapter reviews the relevant key topics and uses clear explanations, diagrams and worked examples to build understanding. Author Ian Lucas also uses cross-references and revisits earlier concepts as students progress through the syllabus material, helping to make connections that can be crucial in bringing the whole subject together.
Throughout the book, Ian uses his extensive experience to provide advice on how to apply learning in an exam context, how to avoid frequent mistakes, and guidance on calculator use and non-calculator techniques. He has also prepared online material to complement the book, including video walk-throughs of working through common problem types.
In addition to self-test questions that develop confidence in problem-solving techniques, students will also find original exam-style practice questions at the end of each chapter, with answers provided, that can really make a difference in preparedness for exams.
