How much are they selling each book for?

 

[maths lover]

I hate Dymocks.......

 

[jnney]

Unless you like nice new books or have a lot of $$, buy them second hand or borrow them from the school/library. It's much cheaper that way.

$70 is the Rrp around about there.

i cant really wait until the year 12s sell their books so secound hand isnt an option, and i dont like online shopping. my library doesn't have these books although my teacher do have a copy for themselves.

Make sure you don't buy books your school already has. I would suggest Terry Lee/Cambridge. Fitzpatrick is a bit generalised for the first few topics.

Expensive.

I really like the Cambridge and Terry Lee (Y). Excel, too.

Buy them, I've already bought mine and I'm in year 10 lol.

 

[Alkanes]

Lol ^. Heard from my friend that the maths syllabus is going to change by 2013.

 

[Bored_of_HSC]

Try and find a friend with the book already and get their PDF document. That's what i'm doing (and i have my sources ). Btw Maths in Focus is pretty awesome too.

 

[Omnipotence]

Fitzpatrick 4U for seventy dollars is a rip off.

 

[Aerath]

Maths in Focus sucks. No joke.

Fitzpatrick...is generally a rip off, despite how good the 2U and 3U books are. It's not -that- great for 4U, in my opinion.
