If you do 3U get the 3U one, if you do 2U get the 2U one

Fitzpatrick is very good, i like it and from the others on this website they love it too

Get both the 2U and 3U.

Waste of money much?

mine cost a shit load because i got it new

but does the 3unit one contain the prelim material or does the 2 unit one predominately contain the prelim content.

but does the 3unit one contain the prelim material or does the 2 unit one predominately contain the prelim content.

The 2-unit textbook, the yellow one, includes prelim 2-unit and hsc 2-unit. The 3-unit textbook, the green one, includes prelim 3-unit and hsc 3-unit subjects, it doesn't include anything from 2-unit.

Best textbook out there is Terry Lee in my opinion (hard to find, can be bought online), IIRC its got fully worked solutions (unsure if the recent editions are still like this) although you'll want to avoid relying on it alone, go get another textbook to back it up cause the summary isn't so great.

They are both necessary with some Preliminary parts in the 3 Unit course. If you have the money, I would suggest you get both.

 

[maths lover]

I have a shit load of textbooks all purchased brand new. Tell your parents it is for education, and well...

 

[maths lover]

in 3unit we have done trig, functions, quadratic functions i think that includes the sum and products of roots. i think thats it

 

[SpiralFlex]

I believe both books are of equal importance.

 

[hscishard]

If you do 3U you need both fitz books.
