Don't let your students miss out on easy marks, prepare them for those Maths questions with this essential guide. Written specifically to build students' confidence in maths and to prepare them for the more challenging mathematical requirements which make up 15% of the new DT specifications. - Improve confidence with structured progression of worked examples, guided and non-guided questions, and worked solutions for every question - Strengthen students' maths skills and subject understanding with worked examples and practice questions all embedded in the subject context - Develop exam confidence with exam-style maths questions - An essential tool throughout the AS and A Level course with every maths skill mapped to subject topics, and applicable to every major exam board - Reviewed by subject and maths expert Glyn Granger (former D&T chief examiner)

Essential Mathematics for Games and Interactive Applications, 2nd edition presents the core mathematics necessary for sophisticated 3D graphics and interactive physical simulations. The book begins with linear algebra and matrix multiplication and expands on this foundation to cover such topics as color and lighting, interpolation, animation and basic game physics. Essential Mathematics focuses on the issues of 3D game development important to programmers and includes optimization guidance throughout. The new edition Windows code will now use Visual Studio.NET. There will also be DirectX support provided, along with OpenGL - due to its cross-platform nature. Programmers will find more concrete examples included in this edition, as well as additional information on tuning, optimization and robustness. The book has a companion CD-ROM with exercises and a test bank for the academic secondary market, and for main market: code examples built around a shared code base, including a math library covering all the topics presented in the book, a core vector/matrix math engine, and libraries to support basic 3D rendering and interaction.

This book reminds students in junior, senior and graduate level courses in physics, chemistry and engineering of the math they may have forgotten (or learned imperfectly) that is needed to succeed in science courses. The focus is on math actually used in physics, chemistry, and engineering, and the approach to mathematics begins with 12 examples of increasing complexity, designed to hone the student's ability to think in mathematical terms and to apply quantitative methods to scientific problems. Detailed illustrations and links to reference material online help further comprehension. The second edition features new problems and illustrations and features expanded chapters on matrix algebra and differential equations. - Use of proven pedagogical techniques developed during the author's 40 years of teaching experience - New practice problems and exercises to enhance comprehension - Coverage of fairly advanced topics, including vector and matrix algebra, partial differential equations, special functions and complex variables

Outset of a degree course.

This is a brand new book that provides comprehensive yet concise coverage of all the topics and disciplines covered in the new AQA 8552 Design and Technology (9-1) specification, written and presented in a way that is accessible to teenagers and easy to teach from. It will be invaluable both as a course text and as a revision guide for students nearing the end of their course. It is divided into neat sections covering every element of the specification. Sections 5A to 5F of the textbook cover each of the six specialist technical areas. These sections would complement practical classroom experience. Solutions to all questions and exercises are provided in a free teacher pack available on our website. To accompany this textbook, PG Online also publishes a series of 12 downloadable teaching units. Each topic in a unit consists of a PowerPoint presentation, teacher's notes, worksheets, homework sheets and a final assessment test with practice questions. Each topic within a unit is expected to be taught over several lessons in a week. Units are sold as a lifetime site licence and may be loaded onto the school's private network or VLE.
