Exactly,
It's like looking at the yellow pages... not very appealing.
Not to mention the handwriting-like font. Yuck.

lol yes the new wave excel books may be easy on the eye but nothing can beat the content dear old coroneos concocted in his home garage in rose bay.. friendly guy apparantly.

phoenix books are brilliant for maths!! they have the fluorescent covers, but i think they are only for year 12 but in one term we'll all be year 12ers anyway[oh and they all include some the year 11 content which'll be in the hsc, too].

but, my best friends are fully worked solutions... for anything that isnt out of maths in focus.

some like the cambridge study guides, i dont however.. the style of questions they ask are kinda irrelevant and obscure at times.

They weren't that bad. I don't think anything beats Coroenous (whatever, i can't spell his name!). My favourite layout would be Fitz :p

Re: Recommended Texbooks/Study Guides?

You guys all have crazy amounts of maths textbooks... I only have Cambridge. :(

I'm going to buy some stuff on some preliminary maths topics and that's about it, since I need help in those areas. It costs 25 dollars though. :p

I don't see what's all the hype about Cambridge. I have a copy myself and I hardly use it. The questions are too repetitive and just out of this world!!

On another note, has anyone noticed to large amount of errors in Fitz's books? I was doing some P&C questions and he'd write things like '1/70' instead of '1/7' for some answers...

Is that meant to mean difficult or irrelevant? It's abit vague. :(

In terms of cost of most textbooks in stores, $25 is relatively cheap.

Nah, it's not a textbook but rather maths topics from Matrix - 4 of them.
