The Excursion at the end of every section enables students to take an active role in the learning process with engaging applications such as tessellations in Section 7.3.
At various places throughout the text, a thought-provoking question is posed to encourage students to pause, think about the current discussion and answer the question.
Learning support includes worked examples, Check Your Progress sections, Chapter Summaries, special notes, videos and a wide range of exercise types.
Extension Exercises at the end of each exercise set extend the concepts. These are typically more challenging and require more time and effort than the preceding exercises.
