Hi guys, I was browsing through the library and I came across a few maths textbooks made by Terry Lee for 2+3 unit.

One book was "Essentials of Mathematics: a Complete 2+3 unit course BOOK1"
The 2nd book was:"Essentials of Mathematics: a Complete 2+3 unit course BOOK2"
Evidently books 1 & 2 go together.

However here is the weird thing:

There was another Terry Lee book: " Fundamentals of Mathematics : mathematics and mathematics extension 1 HSC courses"

So my question: What is the difference between "Essentials of Mathematics" and "Fundamental Mathematics"?? Is one better than the other?

Note: Fundamentals of Mathematics is structured in that same colourful way that the TerryLee Ext2 textbook is structured.

I am pretty sure Terry Lee's fundamental is the newer version (Year 12) of Essentials. It has worked solutions, if my memory serves me right, Essential does not.

also fundamentals of mathematics has 12 chapters whilst essentials of mathematics has 17 chapters

Other than that I don't seemed to know if there is a clear distinction between the two, because seem entirely different books with differing questions etc

It also has a few Year 11 chapters. I am not sure if they have different questions since I don't have the Essentials book.

Fundamentals is the updated version of Essentials. Simple as that.
