The OBP Series in Mathematics focuses on maths in the classroom. It is aimed both at students preparing to make the transition from A-Level to university maths and secondary school teachers who want to think more deeply about their teaching practice. Clear and engaging, these texts are a valuable resource for anyone interested in the study of advanced mathematics.

Advanced Problems in Mathematics: Preparing for University

• Stephen Siklos

This book is intended to help students prepare for entrance examinations in mathematics and scientific subjects, including STEP (Sixth Term Examination Papers), and is recommended as preparation for any undergraduate mathematics course. The questions analysed in this book are all based on recent STEP questions, and each 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.

The Essence of Mathematics Through Elementary Problems

• Alexandre Borovik
• Tony Gardiner

The Essence of Mathematics consists of a sequence of 270 problems – with commentary and full solutions. The reader is assumed to have a reasonable grasp of school mathematics. More importantly, s/he should want to understand something of mathematics beyond the classroom, and be willing to engage with (and to reflect upon) challenging problems that highlight the essence of the discipline.

Teaching Mathematics at Secondary Level

• Tony Gardiner

Teaching Mathematics is nothing less than a mathematical manifesto. This handbook for teachers will help them broaden and enrich their students’ mathematical education. It avoids specifying how to teach, and focuses instead on the central principles and concepts that need to be borne in mind by all teachers and textbook authors—but which are little appreciated in the UK at present.
