- Learn to think like a university student - detailed guidance, thought-provoking questions and worked solutions show you how to advance your mathematical thinking
- Improve your mathematical reasoning - practise the problem-solving skills you need with 'Try it out' activities throughout the book and end-of-chapter exercises to track progress
- Build a path through every problem - our authors guide you through each type of problem so that you can approach questions confidently, think on the spot and apply your knowledge to new contexts
- Maximise marks and make the most of the time you have - at the end of each chapter, our authors give advice on how to tackle questions in the most time-efficient way and help you to figure out which ones will show off your ability
What are the STEP (Sixth Term Examination Paper), MAT (Mathematics Admissions Test) and TMUA (Test of Mathematics for University Admission) admissions tests?
These admissions tests are used by universities as part of the application process to test problem-solving skills and identify candidates with the highest ability, motivation and ingenuity.
