Book excerpt: This book is written for students who know that they are not doing well in Additional Mathematics and for students who do well but want to do even better. The writer has gone through many Additional Mathematics syllabuses and examination papers. He has taught for many years as a teacher and tutor. He understands the difficulties many students face. That is why the book is a very comprehensive summary of all the topics the student needs to learn and covers almost every area where questions will most likely be asked. Use it as a reference book to supplement textbooks and teachers’ teachings, or as a guide for quick revision. Mastering mathematics taught in secondary schools does not require a genius. The most important secret in learning mathematics is in understanding as much as possible what is being taught. Your reasoning mind must be convinced. You must refuse to be force-fed. Concepts, definitions, theorems, procedures and symbols must be understood and not accepted blindly only to be regurgitated in homework and examinations. They must not be scattered like fallen leaves on the soil of a sterile mind. They must be connected to each other like luscious fruits in a bunch of grapes. That is how the materials in this book are organized. Many topics and methods which are not found elsewhere are explained in detail but a lot of what can already be found in every textbook is excluded. Standard forms of formulae are grouped together for easy reference. Study each chapter thoroughly before going to the next, omitting chapters which are not included in your syllabus. This book is a great help to students but it can never replace their relentless efforts. If any student refuses to exert his mind then his failure is expected but it is entirely self-inflicted. Food must be ingested, digested and then absorbed, assimilated and metabolized. Mathematics topics, once learned (ingested) and understood (digested), must be memorized (absorbed), associated and integrated with what one has learned before (assimilated), and put to use by constant practice (metabolized). Procedures, which have already been justified to an inquiring mind, must now become automatic in execution. Mathematics is not a haphazard collection of formulas and theorems put together for the purpose of setting examination questions. It is a supreme achievement of human creativity and ingenuity. It is interesting, challenging and useful. It repays generously every one of its diligent students. Passing examination is the least of its rewards.
