Full Description
This book is part of a series of textbooks written specifically for the OCR modular mathematics syllabus. Each book or half-book corresponds exactly to one module. Both teachers and students will enjoy using these books. Each chapter starts with a short list of learning objectives, and mathematical ideas are explained carefully and clearly, with many stimulating worked examples. There are plenty of exercises throughout, along with revision exercises and mock exam papers - all written by experienced examiners. Mechanics 2 introduces projectiles, energy, circular motion and the study of rigid bodies. The final chapter is about strategies for problem-solving.
