Additional Math help needed
« on: June 13, 2010, 04:09:37 pm »
Hi,
So I decided to study 8 IGCSE subjects this year, I've already done 7 subjects on May/June 2010, and planning to take Additional Mathematics as the 8th subject on Oct/ Nov 2010.
My school doesn't teach Additional Mathematics, they do not have the book.
So I need help from students who took Additional Math to tell me the book name they have and the ISBN  please. I appreciate your help, thanks  ;D

This is a bit vague :| Have you already studied the subject or are you going to start private tuition this summer? If it's the latter be sure to ask your tuition teacher before buying the book! + How are you going to complete the syllabus so quickly?
Anyway, good luck (:
The book my school uses is Additional Mathematics 6th Edition by JF Talbert and HH Heng.

Theoretically speaking you can but you are advised against doing so ... Note that Additional Mathematics is by far the hardest subject in CIE IGCSE ...
Do not go where the path may lead. Go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.

I am really sorry about this, but the names are just so funny. They rhyme too!
