Book One of Nuffield Advanced Mathematics was the first of five core text books. It bridged the gap between GCSE and AS and A level Mathematics. It was designed to be accessible to students who had attained GCSE grade C and above, and to develop a strong foundation for...

Book Two of Nuffield Advanced Mathematics built on the foundations started in Book One. Like the other books in the series it consisted mainly of activities through which students could develop their understanding of mathematical ideas and results, or could apply their...

Book Three of Nuffield Advanced Mathematics contained the units that, with Books One and Two, made up the AS course. These units extended the students’ knowledge of algebra, calculus, exponential functions and handling data. It also introduced vectors.

Book Four of Nuffield Advanced Mathematics included the first five units of the core A2 part of the advanced level course. The book showed how to find polynomials to fit given data, it gave a number of ways of solving equations by iteration, and it also introduced...

Book Five of Nuffield Advanced Mathematics contained the last four units of the core A2 course. The units in this book completed the treatment of calculus and statistics in the core.

In this resource students are to play the role of a structural engineer working on the design of a prestigious new hotel complex.

As a design engineer students have to carry out complex calculations on the structures steelwork needed to make the building viable. Part of these calculations include assessing...

In this resource students are to play the role of a site engineer on a major sewage project.

The job of the site engineer is to supervise the lifting of a number of large, non-uniform, heavy reinforced concrete slabs using a chain lifting system attached to a small site crane. The task involves ensuring...

In this resource students are given a recent, real-life scenario of flood defence work to allow the learner to apply principles of numerical integration to approximate the calculation of earthwork quantities, including areas and volumes.

Students are asked to play the role of a newly qualified engineer...

In this resource students are to play the role of a graduate engineer working to build a two mile by-pass around a small rural village for a major contractor.

The task is to determine the alignment of the new road using information provided by the company that designed it. To do this learners will need to...
