Mastering Maths for A Level Physics: Basic Skills

Essential grounding in all the maths skills for AS and A Level Physics, now worth at least 40% of exam marks. Builds confidence and proficiency in mathematical manipulation and problem-solving.

For each skill:

Step-by-step worked examples to ensure students follow from start to finish.
Practice questions, including exam-style Physics questions. All supporting information provided, so students can hone their maths even before learning the topic!
Full answers for easy marking; students can see where they went wrong and learn from their mistakes.

Two complementary resources together cover all requirements:

Basic skills

arithmetic and numerical computation (including percentage uncertainties)
handling data (including simple probability)
algebra (including quadratic equations)
geometry (including visualising 2D/3D shapes)

Plus two diagnostic tests mapped to the spec to easily pinpoint weaker areas.

Further skills

graphs (including rate of change)
trigonometry (including small-angle approximation)
A Level Year 2 requirements (exponential/log functions and log equations/graphs)

Allows you to focus on teaching the Physics rather than revising the maths. Ideal to use at any time during the course; great for homework or cover lessons!
