Reviews

Dr Kathleen Maitland, Senior Lecturer in Computing, Ceri Jenkins
Unlike many textbooks which just gives the answers to exercises at the back of the book, the guided questions takes students through the logic (thought process) of finding the answer or solution to a problem: it is like having the tutor standing beside you explaining each concept.
Mrs Elizabeth McCue
A great book to help deliver the maths elements of the new Computing Science specifications - it works well alongside the other resources from Hodder.
