This updated edition enables students to confidently tackle new concepts with clear introductions, hundreds of exercises and two full practice papers.

The content has been updated to reflect the changes outlined in the syllabus for examination from 2020. In addition, much of the text and questions have been rewritten so that students progressing to our A level or IB Diploma Programme books will not encounter repeated material.

This book focuses on conceptual understanding and problem solving skills. Each chapter begins with an Opening Problem, and ends with sets of review exercises. Answers are provided at the end of the book.

The accompanying digital book is accessed through our Snowflake platform. It contains Self-Tutor software, geometry and graphing software, demonstrations, and simulations. The digital book is a complete copy of the textbook, so students can view it on a home computer or tablet and keep the textbook at school.

Michael completed a Bachelor of Science at the University of Adelaide, majoring in Infection and Immunity, and Applied Mathematics. He studied laminar heat flow as part of his Honours in Applied Mathematics, and finished a PhD in high speed fluid flows in 2001. He has been the principal editor for Haese Mathematics since 2008.

My passion is for education as a whole, rather than just mathematics. In Australia I think it is too easy to take education for granted, because it is seen as a right but with too little appreciation for the responsibility that goes with it. But the more I travel to places where access to education is limited, the more I see children who treat it as a privilege, and the greater the difference it makes in their lives. But as far as mathematics goes, I grew up with mathematics textbooks in pieces on the kitchen table, and so I guess it continues a tradition.

Mark has a Bachelor of Science (Honours), majoring in Pure Mathematics, and a Bachelor of Economics, both of which were completed at the University of Adelaide. He studied public key cryptography for his Honours in Pure Mathematics. He started with the company in 2006, and is currently the writing manager for Haese Mathematics.

I have always enjoyed the structure and style of mathematics. It has a precision that I enjoy. I spend an inordinate amount of my leisure time reading about mathematics, in fact! To be fair, I tend to do more reading about the history of mathematics and how various mathematical and logic puzzles work, so it is somewhat different from what I do at work.

I was undertaking a PhD, and I realised that what I really wanted to do was put my knowledge to use. I wanted to pass on to others all this interesting stuff about mathematics. I emailed Haese Mathematics (Haese and Harris Publications as they were known back then), stating that I was interested in working for them. As it happened, their success with the first series of International Baccalaureate books meant that they were looking to hire more people at the time. I consider myself quite lucky!

Chris completed a BA in Mathematics at the University of Oxford, and an MSc and PhD in Mathematics at the University of Bath. He spent thirteen years in the Mathematics Department at the University of Birmingham, and from 2000-2011 was seconded half time to the UK Higher Education Academy Maths Stats and OR Network to promote learning and teaching of university mathematics. He was awarded a National Teaching Fellowship in 2006. Chris Sangwin joined the University of Edinburgh in 2015 as Professor of Technology Enhanced Science Education.

I teach mathematics at university but am particularly interested in core pure mathematics which starts in school and continues to be taught at university. Solving mathematical problems is at the heart of mathematics, and I enjoy teaching problem solving at university.

There is a unique team spirit in Haese which other publishers don't have. This makes authorship much more collaborative than my previous experiences, which is really enjoyable and I'm sure leads to much better quality books for students which are, after all, the whole point.

Ngoc Vo completed a Bachelor of Mathematical Sciences at the University of Adelaide, majoring in Statistics and Applied Mathematics. Her Mathematical interests include regression analysis, Bayesian statistics, and statistical computing. Ngoc has been working at Haese Mathematics as a proof reader and writer since 2016.

Originally, I planned to study engineering at university, but after a few weeks I quickly realised that it wasn't for me. So I switched to a mathematics degree at the first available opportunity. I didn't really have a plan to major in statistics, but as I continued my studies I found myself growing more fond of the discipline. The mathematical rigor in proving distributional results and how they link to real-world data -- it all just seemed to click.

As the resident statistician here at Haese Mathematics, I get the pleasure of writing new statistics chapters and related material. Statistics has always been a challenging subject to both teach and learn, however it doesn't always have to be that way. To bridge that gap, I like to try and include as many historical notes, activities, and investigations as I can to make it as engaging as possible. The reasons why we do things, and the people behind them are often important things we forget to talk about. Statistics, and of course mathematics, doesn't just exist within the pages of your textbook or even the syllabus. There's so much breadth and depth to these disciplines, most of the time we just barely scratch the surface.

In my free time I like studying good typography and brushing up on my TeX skills to become the next TeXpert. On the less technical side of things, I also enjoy scrapbooking, painting, and making the occasional card.

This book offers SELF TUTOR for every worked example. On the electronic copy of the textbook, access SELF TUTOR by clicking anywhere on a worked example to hear a step-by-step explanation by a teacher. This is ideal for catch-up and revision, or for motivated students who want to do some independent study outside school hours.

Where relevant, Snowflake features include interactive geometry, graphing, and statistics software, demonstrations, games, spreadsheets, and a range of printable worksheets, tables, and diagrams.
