New Century Maths 12 General Workbook HSC

By | Copyright Year:2008 | ISBN-13: 9780170135085

Published:30/07/2007
This publication is a student workbook for New South Wales students who are completing Year 12 General Mathematics and require a study guide and/or revision text that will assist them in preparing for the HSC examination. The content is arranged in topic format so the workbook can be used effectively by all students of the Stage 6 General Mathematics course, regardless of the mainstream text used at school.

Each chapter (or topic) opens with a summary of facts and formulas followed by well-graded questions that re-examine the topic. Each chapter concludes with a summary. Answers to all exercises, including worked examples of some questions, are found at the rear of the text with two complete Practice Examinations and a Formulae Quiz for students to test their knowledge.

Robert Yen has acted as consultant and reviewer on this project.
