One of the clearest and most straightforward texts ever published, Understanding Mechanics covers all the topics required in the single-subject A Level.

It is equally appropriate for those preparing for other Mathematics examinations at A Level and for students on technical courses in further and higher education.

Key Points:

· Principles are introduced in a simple and direct manner and all have worked examples

· Ample opportunity is given for practice with questions and exercises carefully graded to provide a steady progression

· Each chapter closes with a comprehensive selection of recent examination questions

· Answers are given at the back of the book
