this could be just me, but does anyone else think the cambridge is harder than most of the other books? i did the past hsc paper on complex numbers, and their hardest problem is no where near as complex as the cambridge book.

yeh all cambridge books r hard (2, 3 or 4 unit) thats good coz it caters for the good and also the brilliant students(i speak from the personal experience of being brilliant). and it also chalenges the good students to be more lyk me!!

i don't think you have heard of a book called terry lee have you. anyway i wanna know if its in the syllabus to learn trig. expansions in complex numbers using demoveries theorem.

also who thinks that terry lee's curve sketching section is bullshit?

i asked the same question here, the answer i got was that it was good to learn it, so i did.

for curve skething i think i used a bit of Lee, a bit of fitzpatrick, and alot of sheets (i don't know where my teacher got them from).

if you managed to get the later questions (complex numbers) of past hsc papers, congradulations already ... i couldnt really do them even after my trials (or did so with alot of difficulty) ...

by far the best book for 4unit is excel 50-tips
it isn't really a text book but it is really useful

i got 96 and first in school so that should be a sign of
how useful it is.

I use Cambridge and Fitzpatrick at school...

A lot of the Cambridge questions are ridiculous and unreasonable and whats with the explanations...they miss out 5 steps and expect you to figure it out...my tutor is Patel and he told me to burn my Cambridge book, I agree...Fitz is ok (but doesnt follow the syllabus), T. Lee is too hard to find to buy...I like Excel; I use in conjunction with past HSC questions book and my teacher's sheets

 

[Rahul]

how is patel's 4 u book, not the excel one?

It's reasonable... there are heaps of basic questions at the start of each chapter... I prefer Arnold over it because there are less questions but they're challenging.

 

[Rahul]

if there are basic q's, then i can use it with the harder q's of cambridge

its alright ... but if you ask some teachers they will say that the book has too many wrong answers ...

The cambridge 4 unit maths book with full worked solutions is the best.

and where may we acquire the solutions?

on sheets of paper ... and we've discussed it --- we are selling them and spliting the profits

so u cant actually get the solutions from the shops or anything.....we have to get it off u guys!

are u actually serious about selling them?

hehehe, yeah, the problem is that there are too many sheets of paper.......I don;t know how u would go about it with copyright and all that.

I don't know where you can get the solutions, my teacher bought them somewhere and he just photocopied each topic's worked solutions to the cambridge textboook and gave them to me. They were very detailed solutions though.

Would that teacher happen to be one of the arnolds? From what I've heard they've been teaching 4 unit maths since 1970 or something.
