Infos

Helps to ease the transition between school/college and university mathematics by (re)introducing readers to a range of topics that they will meet in the first year of a degree course in the mathematical sciences, refreshing their knowledge of basic techniques and focussing on areas that are often perceived as the most challenging.

Each chapter starts with a 'Test Yourself' section so that readers can monitor their progress and readily identify areas where their understanding is incomplete.

A range of exercises, complete with full solutions, makes the book ideal for self-study.

Designed as an introduction to higher-education mathematics, Bridging the Gap is the only book of this sort written for students by students. The authors, Martin Gould and Edward Hurst, wrote this book as second-year undergraduates at Warwick University. Their experiences as students have helped them create an approachable and comprehensive introductory text that will be of benefit to anyone looking to make the step-up to university education. This book contains chapters rich with worked examples and exercises covering all the key subject-areas that a first-year undergraduate will encounter, such as Inequalities, Complex Numbers, Probability, Matrices and many more. The authors have also included a "e;Test Yourself"e; exercise at the beginning of each chapter so that students will know straightaway which chapters will be of most use to them. Every topic concludes with a "e;Where Now?"e; section that helps the reader find out exactly how and where they can apply their newly-learned skills.
