Mathematics Analysis and Approaches for the IB Diploma Standard
Level provides comprehensive coverage of the new curriculum,
developed for first examinations in 2021. Written by a highly
experienced IB author team, this book includes the following
features: integrated GeoGebra applets created specifically for the
course, worked examples to help you tackle questions and apply
concepts and skills, practice questions to help you prepare for the
exam, a rich and wide-ranging Theory of Knowledge chapter, and
guidance on the Internal Assessment.
Deepen and broaden subject knowledge to set yourself up for future
success Foundation Maths 7th Edition by Croft and Davison has been
written for students taking higher and further education courses
who may not have specialised in mathematics on post-16
qualifications, and who require a working knowledge of mathematical
and statistical tools. By providing careful and steady guidance in
mathematical methods along with a wealth of practice exercises to
improve your maths skills, Foundation Maths imparts confidence in
its readers. For students with established mathematical expertise,
this book will be an ideal revision and reference guide. The style
of the book also makes it suitable for self-study and distance
learning with self-assessment questions and worked examples
throughout. Foundation Maths is ideally suited for students
studying marketing, business studies, management, science,
engineering, social science, geography, combined studies and
design. Features: Mathematical processes described in everyday
language. Key points highlighting important results for easy
reference Worked examples included throughout the book to reinforce
learning. Self-assessment questions to test understanding of
important concepts, with answers provided at the back of the book.
Demanding Challenge Exercises included at the end of chapters
stretch the keenest of students Test and assignment exercises with
answers provided in a lecturer's Solutions Manual available for
download at go.pearson.com/uk/he/resources, allow lecturers to set
regular work throughout the course A companion website containing a
student support pack and video tutorials, as well as PowerPoint
slides for lecturers, can be found at
go.pearson.com/uk/he/resources New to this edition: A new section
explains the importance of developing a thorough mathematical
foundation in order to take advantage of and exploit the full
capability of mathematical and statistical technology used in
higher education and in the workplace Extensive sections throughout
the book illustrate how readily-available computer software and
apps can be used to perform mathematical and statistical
calculations, particularly those involving algebra, calculus, graph
plotting and data analysis There are revised, enhanced sections on
histograms and factorisation of quadratic expressions The new
edition is fully integrated with MyLab Math, a powerful online
homework, tutorial and self-study system that contains over 1400
exercises that can be assigned or used for student practice, tests
and homework Anthony Croft has taught mathematics in further and
higher education institutions for over thirty years. During this
time he has championed the development of mathematics support for
the many students who find the transition from school to university
mathematics particularly difficult. In 2008 he was awarded a
National Teaching Fellowship in recognition of his work in this
field. He has authored many successful mathematics textbooks,
including several for engineering students. He was jointly awarded
the IMA Gold Medal 2016 for his outstanding contribution to
mathematics education. Robert Davison has thirty years' experience
teaching mathematics in both further and higher education. He has
authored many successful mathematics textbooks, including several
for engineering students.

Developed for the new International A Level specification, these
new resources are specifically designed for international students,
with a strong focus on progression, recognition and transferable
skills, allowing learning in a local context to a global standard.
Recognised by universities worldwide and fully comparable to UK
reformed GCE A levels. Supports a modular approach, in line with
the specification. Appropriate international content puts learning
in a real-world context, to a global standard, making it engaging
and relevant for all learners. Reviewed by a language specialist to
ensure materials are written in a clear and accessible style. The
embedded transferable skills, needed for progression to higher
education and employment, are signposted so students understand
what skills they are developing and therefore go on to use these
skills more effectively in the future. Exam practice provides
opportunities to assess understanding and progress, so students can
make the best progress they can.
Presenting innovative modelling approaches to the analysis of
fiscal policy and government debt, this book moves beyond previous
models that have relied upon the assumption that various
age-specific rates and policy variables remain unchanged when it
comes to generating government expenditures and tax revenues. As a
result of population ageing, current policy settings in many
countries are projected to lead to unsustainable levels of public
debt; Tax Policy and Uncertainty explores models that allow for
feedbacks and uncertainty to combat this. Applicable to any
country, the models in the book explore the optimal timing and
extent of tax changes in the face of anticipated high future debt.
Chapters produce stochastic debt projections, including probability
distribution of debt ratios at each point in time. It also offers
important analysis of fiscal policy trade-offs as well as providing
advice on when and by how much tax rates should be increased.
Economics scholars focusing on fiscal policy will appreciate the
improved models in this book that allow both for uncertainty and
feedback effects arising from responses to increased debt. It will
also be helpful to economic policy advisors and economists in
government departments.
For courses in Linear Algebra. Fosters the concepts and
skillsneeded for future careers Linear Algebra and ItsApplications
offers a modern elementary introduction with broad,
relevantapplications. With traditional texts, the early stages of
the course arerelatively easy as material is presented in a
familiar, concrete setting, butstudents often hit a wall when
abstract concepts are introduced. Certainconcepts fundamental to
the study of linear algebra (such as linearindependence, vector
space, and linear transformations) require time toassimilate - and
students' understanding of them is vital. Lay, Lay, and McDonald
make theseconcepts more accessible by introducing them early in a
familiar, concrete n setting, developing them gradually, and
returning to themthroughout the text so that students can grasp
them when they are discussed inthe abstract. The 6th Edition offers
exciting new material, examples,and online resources, along with
new topics, vignettes, and applications.

Each book contains two complete sets of practice papers (six papers
in total) with fully worked solutions and hints and notes on the
marks allocated directly alongside the relevant steps of the
solution, so students can make most sense of them and build their
confidence. Designed to survive the rigors of the classroom and
home, all the papers are bound into a durable book. Accessible
write-in format allows students to take an active role in their
revision.
