Author Description

This book was written as the second half of a course suitable for those pupils who would have sat either Intermediate 2 or Standard Grade Credit Maths at the end of their 4th (or in some cases 3rd) years at school. It also, along with Int-2-Credit book 1, provides an ideal book to use with pupils studying for the new CfE National 5 course being developed in schools. The second half of the book consists of a wealth of revision and support materials including specimen exam papers. Book IC1 followed the order of Intermediate 2, covering Mathematics 1 and Mathematics 2, but doing so to the depth of Credit. The first half of this book completes the Intermediate 2 course, covering the Mathematics 3 element of the work. It also has 4 home exercises (Practice make Perfect), as well as end of chapter summary exercises (Remember, Remember...) and non-calculator practice exercises. The second half of the book revises the work required to attempt either the Credit or the Intermediate 3 exam. It has:- - Basic (KU) mini-exercises covering all the topics.Questions similar to those in Paper 1 (non-calculator), gleaned from the last 5 or 6 years papers. - Questions of a Paper 2 type, again similar to those from the last 5 or 6 years papers. - A specimen Credit Paper (non-calculator and calculator). - A specimen Intermediate 2 Paper (non-calculator and calculator). As well as this, we have included 2 short chapters at the back, covering a couple of early Higher Maths topics, namely "Recurrence Relations" and "Equations of Lines". These are optional, but could be used in S4, after completing the Credit / Intermediate 2 course, or in the summer term as pupils return having just sat their Maths exam.
