Does anybody know where I can find those big huge textbooks(they used to have more of those around when my older brother was in school) with a lot of maths in them so that I can work through them for fun? I want to get a big one before my christmas holidays,can anyone help? I keep finding small paperback books focusing on one of two topics.

what level?

Do you mean Bostock & Chandler (for A level)? Or something at a more 'junior' level?

Edexcel but it is irrelevant for GCSE as the content is common to all.

Since you are not looking for a qualification - simply to become more confident in using maths

I'm going round in circles here. 46 minutes ago, 38 minutes ago, 36 minutes ago and 32 minutes ago she sent me unsolicited requests for GCSE answers.

Bostock and Chandler (a level content though)

Perhaps look into getting a FSMQ text book of some kind? Apparently it covers a range of topics :smile:

No I have not. I am doing my A-levels and I don't take Maths. I am just looking to improve my maths skills and trying to find a book that contains a lot of maths content in it so I don't have to buy seperate books.I have not sent you any requests for GCSE answers??
