I have personally used the previous editions of this book over many years and
with pupils of a broad range of ability. I have always admired it for its common
sense approach to the subject, for the large number and great variety of its
examples and for the scope and grading of its exercises. In recent years, however,
it has become increasingly clear that drastic revision was needed to take account
of the many changes which have appeared in A-level syllabuses since the book
was first written. At the time of writing the common core syllabus is about to
appear at A-level and this new edition, and its companion volume, have been
prepared with this in mind.
Although many of the new chapters are concerned with so-called modern
topics, I make no apology for retaining the traditional style of the earlier
editions. Indeed, I hope that readers will feel that the book conforms to the spirit
of paragraph 582 of the Cockcroft Report, which says
Syllabus changes during the last ten years have lessened the dif-
ferences between the content of modern and traditional syllabuses
and many feel it is no longer appropriate to distinguish between them
We support the view that the distinction should no longer be
maintained.
This new edition of Pure Mathematics, Books 1 and 2, contains all the topics
which are in the common core syllabus and the symbols used throughout are
those adopted by the Examining Boards. The pure mathematics content of most
single subject syllabuses is included and, while it cannot be guaranteed that all
double subject syllabuses are covered, the books will provide a sound course of
study for most of them. These books are also suitable for the pure mathematics
content of most AS level syllabuses.
The book has not been designed to be read straight through chapter by
chapter in numerical order, and most readers will probably prefer to develop
several branches simultaneously. Indeed, later sections of some chapters are
better delayed for a second reading; where a natural break occurs this has been
indicated in the text. New chapters and material have been incorporated
without unduly disturbing the overall contents of previous editions, and, to
make it easier to locate a particular topic, an index has now been provided.
Another new f~ature of this edition is an appendix on Algebra revision which
