What do teachers say about this resource? (8115, 8117, 8118, 8119, 8120)

This resource is a great resource allowing both students and teachers alike to gauge the students' understanding of Maths with A-level Chemistry. It is well planned and written; the sections make it particularly useful for individual topics as well as a diagnostic or support tool for students.

The addition of worked examples is a good touch before giving students questions to test themselves, especially since exam boards within Science have been commenting for years that students typically cannot APPLY knowledge.

R Boole, Teacher and Peer Reviewer

On the whole, this is an excellent summarised book for chemistry students trying to hone their mathematical skills and would certainly decrease maths errors.

All topics are well explained in simple terms, both in terms of mathematics and chemistry and the mathematical aspect is well incorporated in chemical concepts.
