Is it good compared to the others?

'In terms of :

difficulty
solutions
explanations
exam style questions etc.

 

[Carrotsticks]

Difficulty: Easy --> Hard

Solutions: Better than others simply because there are so few textbooks with worked solutions.

Explanations: Not that great.

Exam Style Questions: Plenty of them, though of course there is some side-tracking involved.

Do you have Cambridge? In my opinion, that's the best 3U book available.

I have borrowed Cambridge from library but the library didnt have any others so I could compare.

Terry Lee 3U textbook -> good questions, particularly exam questions. Worked solutions as well, which is a bonus. However, bad explanation and only gives examples of questions. :S

So good if you know the concept already?

In my opinion it's a fairly decent book. It's my personal favourite along with Cambridge.

Does it cover prelim and HSC in one book?

Does it cover prelim and HSC in one book?

No. It covers these 12 topics:
Geometrical Applications of Calculus, Integration, Exponential and Logarithmic functions, Trigonometric functions, Inverse functions, Induction, Combinatorics, Binomial Theorem, Applications of Calculus in the Physical World, Polynomials, Circle Geometry and Parametric equations.

From what i can tell, the only preliminary topics there are the geometrical applications of calculus, a part of trigonometric functions, polynomials, circle geometry and parametric equations.

I've heard that he copies a lot of his questions from other books. Is that true?
