One of the clearest and most straightforward texts ever published, Understanding Mechanics covers all the topics required in the single-subject A Level. It is equally appropriate for those preparing for other Mathematics examinations at A Level and for students on technical courses in further and higher education. Key Points: · Principles are introduced in a simple and direct manner and all have worked examples · Ample opportunity is given for practice with questions and exercises carefully graded to provide a steady progression · Each chapter closes with a comprehensive selection of recent examination questions · Answers are given at the back of the book
