About the author
Richard Earl is currently Director of Undergraduate Studies in the Mathematical Institute, University of Oxford, and a Tutor in Mathematics at Worcester College. From 2003–13, he was Admissions Coordinator and Schools Liaison Officer in the department and has over a decade's experience setting the MAT (Oxford's Mathematics Admissions Test). He has won several teaching awards within the University for his teaching and lecturing. This book grew out of a residential week he ran for several years in Oxford for new students who had not had the chance to study Further Mathematics at A-Level.
Summary
Containing a large and varied set of problems, this book allows students to stretch their mathematical abilities further to bridge the gap between school and university. Substantial extension material is covered using accessible language, offering students the chance to develop their understanding of mathematics without too much abstraction.
