Howard seems to be updating the 1000 questions quite frequently. Here is version 4:

This is finally coming out October 23rd. This is on MANSW's website now:



This is 3 days before the HSC exam. So you'll have 3 days to work through the whole book.

Yes, finally they have arrived and I have one next to me right now! I wish they could have come sooner but it is what it is.

I have made it as in-depth as I could and there is a plethora of challenging problems in it. I hope they will be useful for current and future students.

Version 7 of Howard's book is out now. With this many versions in just over a year he really needs to do a "changelog" so we know what he has actually changed. It was pretty obvious for earlier versions when he was adding chapters. But now that it is complete, the changes aren't so obvious anymore.

The picture on the MANSW website is still incorrect, with the other "Author". I know it was just Jonathan Le for this one, so here is a real picture of the real book - with the correct cover (with just one author). This is important for referencing purposes.

Thanks for raising that. I've sent in a request with the updated cover now.

Hey, did anyone end up buying this book? IF so let me know

I have the book and apparently the solutions are coming out in February 2021 on their solutions website https://www.masteringhscmathematics.com.au/solutions which seems to be working again (after many months of strangely redirecting to an unrelated website).

Hey, did anyone end up buying this book? IF so let me know

Yep I was able to get my hands on it last month but still waiting on worked solutions

 

[Sunaina123]

Does someone have an online version of this book for year 12 ext 1?

 

[Eagle Mum]

Yep I was able to get my hands on it last month but still waiting on worked solutions

Are there summarised/abbreviated solutions at the back of the book?
Is it just the full worked solutions that are pending?

New titles coming out in 2021:

Decode, HSC Mathematics 4 Unit Combined - Expected October, 2021

Green, J. and Hunter, J., A+ HSC Year 12 Mathematics Extension 2 Study Notes - Expected September, 2021

Green, J. and Hunter, J., A+ HSC Year 12 Mathematics Extension 2 Practice Exams - Expected September, 2021

But they are pretty late for the 2021 cohort. Maybe the A+ could be just in time, but I suspect the Decode may be too late.

Expected publication dates however are always in a state of flux. Almost always they come out late.

The textbook list http://users.tpg.com.au/nanahcub/texts.pdf has been updated to include these.

Typical they’d come out around our HSC lmao

There is another one to look out for later in the year too.

There is a thing called Year 12 Trialmaths Enterprises Past Trial Papers. They are basically sample papers.

The current one is called 2020 Edition and has papers up to 2019 - so relevant to Standard 2 because they started a year early (or reinterpret that as the rest starting a year late).

But when the 2021 edition ones are released they will also be relevant to Advanced, Ext. 1 and Ext. 2 as they will then include a 2020 paper for the new syllabus.

I haven't added this to the textbook list as there is no specified expected publication date. They haven't been advertising it either so I'll wait till that happens.

The 2020 Edition ones do include Year 11 versions too and they will have content relevant to the new syllabus, but I would suggest waiting for the year 12 2021 edition instead as that would be more complete.

John Kinny-Lewis used to have a website for year 11 materials for the new syllabus but the year 12 materials were not put there, even though they said they would.

The website seemed to go down some time after September 2021 but there is a last snapshot here: https://web.archive.org/web/20210921045248/https://www.harderhscmaths.com/

I had the opportunity to meet him on the weekend and he said the year 11 materials have been repackaged in a new website called https://classmathematics.com.au/resources/nsw and this also has year 7-10 materials as well as year 12.

So there is also an ebook for Extension 2. The texts.pdf file has been updated and put here https://4unitmaths.com/texts.pdf (as the old tpg links no longer work) to include this now:

Kinny-Lewis, J., classmathematics Extension 2 ebook, 2021 available at https://classmathematics.com.au/resources/nsw

The ebook is free but you have to pay to get the solutions.
