then the other day i spotted a cambridge 4 unit math in a book store wriitten by the same arnolds!


I TOOK A LOOK AT THE FIRST PAGE of every topic AND WENT HOME TO COMFIRM MY SUSPICION

yeah last year i started off with this textbook,
but its explanations can be so poor sometimes that our teacher bought us the terry lee one, so much better
but ive also seen cambridge with the exact same book, arnolds prob just changed publishers.
either that or they just haven't realised yet that cambridge is using their book with a better cover :eek:

Yes, Cambridge bought the publishing rights of the book.
I believe it was written by Graham and Denise Arnold? Their daughter works at the place of my tuition (Intuition at Epping :D)

Yeah, there's a few editions. It changed Publishers i think, so they changed the cover. I think my 4unit teacher has the old blue cover one.

I am pretty sure they are exactly the same. I have a Cambridge book written by arnold. They may just be a newer edition....
