I'm starting on my path for my Science degree which will involve a fair bit of Maths. A few years ago the S104 Discovering Science Module recommended a great book for brushing up on Maths skills and explaining an awful lot of what I'd forgotten from back in the day. I can't remembert he book's name and I could reallt do with this or one similar.
Can anybody out there help please
Hi Allan,
That book may have been 'countdown to mathematics' which comes in two volumes, written by Lynne Graham & David Sargent (of the open university). They seem quite expensive on Amazon so worth a look on Ebay.
Regards
John
Before I did MU 120 in 2005 I bought, based on OU advice, vol 1 of the book John suggests, as well as Teach yourself Basic Mathematics (Alan Graham) and Success with Mathematics (Heather Cooke) - all of which were useful. The Scussess with Mathematics is more about how to study the subject rather than maths itself.
