Hi,

I'm planning to study Further Mathematics, but I don't really know what books to use. What are the best books for Further Mathematics?

Paper 1 Pure Maths:
Further Pure Mathematics by Brian & Mark Gaulter
Further Pure Mathematics by Bostock & Chandler

Paper 2 Applied Maths:
Understanding Mechanics by Sadler & Thorning
A Concise Course in Advanced Level Statistics

Covers everything except:
Chapter 5 (Mean Values & Centroids) - find Calculus II notes to help
Chapter 9 (Just go find a Linear Algebra coursebook for the parts missed)
Chapter 15 (Exponential Distribution) - google it

I cant understand the steps. Like the steps after you substituted n=k
Basically, your aim is to transform one said into k+1, and prove the other side is less
That's how induction is with CIE
Are you doing the exam on Monday?
