the only drawback with j. coroneos book (1 Viewer)

[supermike]

hey i just bought the coroneos ext 2 revised edition and supplement text.
i was surprised to discover that both do ont contain material about curve sketching and advanced 3 unit topics

i go like WTF and the preface says its got the entire syllabus covered and many ppl on this forum say its the best bk ever!!
i mean , come on did i miss out any other supplement texts or is coroneos book really that incomplete???

i was betting my life on it man coz i dont pay much attention in class!!!

help!!!!!!!!

*sry for not being clear, guys, u can all HELP by just comfirming that coroneos bk in fact doesn't ve 3 unit harder topics and curve sketching coz as i said , i might miss out some other suppplement texts i didn't know that exists.
some thoughtful purchase suggesstion would be much appreciated too
cheers

help!!!!!!!!

With what?

You're not giving me much to do.

 

[MC Squidge]

at least curve sketching is easy, so dont worry about it. as for the harder 3 unit your going to need practice, so get some other text books like cambridge

He's got a good point.

 

[EvoRevolution]

yea i wouldn't actually use the book for those 2 topics. I have the same book and i was looking for curve sketching as well but to my surprise was not there

 

[pman]

The syllabus has been changed since the coroneas books were last updated

Right: Check the books thread, or else get a copy of cambridge (by Denise Arnold and Graham Arnold) or fitzpatrick (New senior Mathematics). You should get the Terry Lee book (Advanced Mathematics) but it's out of print - could get it from the school or library.

I was going through the books aswell, and it's missing stuff for polynomials such as reducing equations and given a polynomial equation with certain roots, making a polynomial equation with variations of those roots.

Also, I found that its missing stuff like the chord of contact, focii and directrices of a rectangular hyperbola.

Also doesn't seem to treat integration using t-results very well, found like one question with it, has no examples of these types of questions. I don't know why people say Coroneos is good for Integration as I find that Terry Lee has better coverage of the course.

Anyone know why it's missing these things in the 4U and 4U supplyment Coroneos books?

I find that Coroneos is the best for 3 unit, 2 unit is alright.

this is the book thats smaller than A4 right? the purple one

 

[cutemouse]

The supplyment is A4, and the actual main book is A5. They're grey coloured.

 

[MC Squidge]

i got teh suplemtn. its a4 and grey

i got the main book its a5 but PURPLE.....FUCK

 

[cutemouse]

You may've gotten an older version of his book.

In which case it would just contain more material from the old 4U course, because the 'revised' 4U book is just material that is relevant to the 1980 syllabus which was in the old syllabus.

But if it's A5, then it would be the correct book... what's the title of it?

 

[MC Squidge]

Revised 4 Unit Course for Mathematics Extension Two: A Higher School Certificate Course in Mathematics Years 11 and 12

 

[cutemouse]

I think then that is an older version of his 4U book, dunno if it's the one that has imperial measurements in the mechanics chapter LOL... What topics does it cover? (Look in contents)

 

[MC Squidge]

no contents page lol

1. Complex Numbers
2. Polynomials
3. Calculus (must be the integration chapter)
4. Integration (wtf im wrong, maybe calculus was volumes)
5. Conics
6. Dynamics (Mechanics i guess)

just got it today, it looks good

what does the newer version have different if this is the old one

 

[cutemouse]

Yep that's the book I have then.

No the Calculus section isn't volumes... that's in the supplyment book.

 

[MC Squidge]

oh good i have the supplement
