This book covers two (2) years of work, and has been specially developed for those students in NSW who are studying the ADVANCED COURSE in Years 9 & 10. For States outside of NSW this book is most suitable for talented students of above average mathematical ability.

The topics shown in the left hand column tend to be covered by most schools in Year 9, while the topics in the right hand column are usually taught in Year 10. Schools can also choose certain Additional Topics to study in more depth. We have only included the more popular options which are extremely useful for Advanced Students who wish to study 2 Unit Advanced Maths, or higher, in Year 11.

At the end of each Major Topic listed above, there are usually two or more comprehensive review exercises. Some of the more important topics have three review exercises. Because this book is aimed at Advanced Students, the exercises are significantly more difficult than the corresponding exercises in the Intermediate book.
