About this title

Review

Completely perfect... The modular structure and consistent emphasis on making mathematics accessible by relating it to practical everyday situations anticipates the changes proposed for September 2000...this impressively clear and well-thought-out collection is as future-proof as any in a world where curriculum change is accelerating yearly...Taken as a whole the MEI series is strikingly successful in providing clear and motivating access to the mathematics needed by future scientists, engineers and technicians. The use of photographs, historical notes, thought-provoking investigations and worked examples makes this set of materials exceptionally useful in a wide range of teaching situations.
