Recensione

'Jenny Olive's Maths: A Student's Survival Guide is a friendly book written in an engaging style ... It also contains very full, worked solutions to the exercises, which will greatly aid self-study. The introduction contains wise guidance on how to study and understand mathematics and the author's experience as a teacher comes out through her warnings of pitfalls and common errors ... it will be valued particularly by those who need to make up a deficiency in a specific topic or to remove the rust from their mathematics ... working through a few sections from Olive may be the prescription to cure the problem in many cases.' Nigel Steele, The Times Higher Education Supplement

' ... designed as a self-study guide, and allows students to make as much use of sections of the book as they need ... An important feature is that for every concept, the book returns to basics, giving clear and entertaining explanations of the background to maths ... this book is a fine example of its kind and I shall certainly use it with my students certainly use it with my students in the coming year.' Geoff Auty, School Science Review

' ... excellent value, and certainly worth recommending to the strugglers in your maths class or tutorial group.' Andrew King, The Observatory
