This resource has been developed to fully cover unit AS 2: Applied Mathematics of the CCEA specification, addressing both mechanics and statistics.

For each topic, the book begins with a logical explanation of the theory, examples to reinforce the explanation, and any key words and definitions that are required. Examples and definitions are clearly differentiated to ease revision and progression through the book. The material then flows into exercises, before introducing the next topic. In this way, the student is guided through the subject.

The book contains a large number of exercises in order to provide teachers with as much flexibility as possible for their students. Answers to the questions are included at the back of the book.
