Advanced Mathematics for Advanced Secondary Schools - Form V together with its accompanying second volume for Form VI are undoubtedly the first set of books covering the 2009 syllabus (as reprinted in 2010 and 2013) in its entirety. Preparation of this volume used the competence based approach that seeks to make the student a center of the teaching and learning process. The book covers the subject matter building from simple to complex. The approach seeks to fairly carry along both slow and fast leaners in their learning journeys.
This volume covered: calculating devices, sets, logic, coordinate geometry, functions, algebra, trigonometry, linear programming, differentiation and integration. To make the students appreciate and enjoy covering the contents, practical applications of the major concepts on day-to-day, real life, situations are carefully included. This is on top of the requisite coverage of the theoretical aspects.
There are 354 demonstrated examples. There are also over 1800 questions in different activities and exercises encouraging group discussions and individual evaluations. At the end of the book, answers to non-textual questions are given to allow self-assessment.
Careful efforts were made to allow easy navigation through the numerous aspects covered in the book. The table of contents is detailed and well outlined. The subtopics were also carefully arranged and numbered to allow a better flow. At the end of the book is an index that seeks to guide you directly to each small detail in the book on demand.
Use of this and the second volume for Form VI should lead to a successful completion of your advanced secondary education course and permanently build a foundation for logical view of all aspects in life.
