[Fhsst-authors] [Fwd: fhsst maths audit]

[Mark Horner]

Hi Everyone

Clare has summarised the state of the maths book in CVS at the moment. 
Volunteers
for any of the sections are welcome and needed. There are some small 
bits that could be done relatively easily.
Marc Krawitz is coordinating the geometry.

Clare's audit:

Chapter 1 (High school algebra): Needs to be polished by the author.
Several notes to self requiring more examples, a referencing convention
for graphs, missing images and equation references. Otherwise content is
pretty complete and comprehensive.

Sequences and series, and infinite geometric series (HG) perhaps need to
be beefed up depending on what the contributor had in mind - more
examples may be required.

Content is still required for sections 1.8 and 1.9: Compound increase
and decrease, and Logs. There is some content for logs but its relation
to the exponential still needs to be included. There are four sections
outstanding there. This section seems to be in progress though.

There is nothing for the compounding section.

CHapter 2 (Graphs) and Chapter 3 (Geometry) both still require all their
content

Chapter 4 (Trigonometry) has some content here and there, and good
diagrams, but has perhaps 80% content outstanding, including diagrams,
worked examples and formulas.

Chapter 5 (Differentiation) is complete except for 5.1.5 which I am to
do (I think).

CHapter 6 (Integration) does not exist at all - is this required for a
high school science text? What is the rationale behind its being here?
