Preface \

1 New Additional Mathematics is written for students preparing for the GCE 'O' Level Additional
Mathematics examination paper.

This book closely follows the revised syllabus and includes five new chapters on Sets, Mattices,
Permutations and Combinations, Kinematics and Relative Velocity. Some Challenging questions

(indicated by *) and Critical i:1�inking Problems (indicated by 1W) are placed at appropriate

places for more able students. Suggestions on the use of IT and open tools to promote dynamic

learning have been adqed where relevant (indicated by ...). These open tools include
spreadsheets and graph plotters.

AU basic concepts are explained and developed clearly through comprehensive illustrations
and worked examples. Important concepts applied for problem solving in some examples are
highlighted by short notes. Simple questions for direct application of basic concepts and formulae
are given at the beginning of each graded exercise-students are encouraged to attempt these.

The main text contains clear presentation of basic concepts with simple illustrations, the
derivation and application of useful fonnulae, important facts and the process of problem solving
through exan1ples.

At the end of each chapter. all basic concepts, formulae and problem-solving methods are
summarised in the Important Notes.This is followed by harder examples and more questions
in the Miscellaneous Exercise.

To assist students in their revision and examination preparation, five sets of graded revision
exercises are placed at various appropriate stages of learning, in addition to two assessment
papers at the end of the book.

We would like to thank Mdm Tan Meow Lang for her constructive suggestions on the
presentation and approach, Dr Leong Yu Kiang for his discussion on �ertain basic concepts and
terminology in the first edition and those who offereo suggestions in this new edition.·

We are grateful to the Cambridge University Local Examination Syndicate for their permission
to reproduce some of the past examination questions. Finally, we would like to thank our
publisher and all those involved in the production of this book.
