    Why don't you give exact delivery time?

    Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

    Short description:

    One of the clearest and most straightforward texts ever published, Understanding Mechanics covers all the topics required in the single-subject A Level.

    It is equally appropriate for those preparing for other Mathematics examinations at A Level and for students on technical courses in further and higher education.

    Key Points:

    ? Principles are introduced in a simple and direct manner and all have worked examples

    ? Ample opportunity is given for practice with questions and exercises carefully graded to provide a steady progression

    ? Each chapter closes with a comprehensive selection of recent examination questions

    ? Answers are given at the back of the book
