This book is intended to help candidates prepare for entrance
examinations in mathematics and scientific subjects, including STEP
(Sixth Term Examination Paper). STEP is an examination used by
Cambridge colleges as the basis for conditional offers. They are
also used by Warwick University, and many other mathematics
departments recommend that their applicants practice on the past
papers even if they do not take the examination. Advanced Problems
in Mathematics is recommended as preparation for any undergraduate
mathematics course, even for students who do not plan to take the
Sixth Term Examination Paper. The questions analysed in this book
are all based on recent STEP questions selected to address the
syllabus for Papers I and II, which is the A-level core (i.e. C1 to
C4) with a few additions. Each question is followed by a comment
and a full solution. The comments direct the reader's attention to
key points and put the question in its true mathematical context.
The solutions point students to the methodology required to address
advanced mathematical problems critically and independently. This
book is a must read for any student wishing to apply to scientific
subjects at university level and for anybody interested in advanced
mathematics.
