Advanced Problem Solving Module 11

Advanced Problem Solving module 11

Graph sketching is an important skill and an invaluable tool. In this module, you are invited to read some tips and tricks in our article, explore transformations of graphs, rational functions and asymptotes, and use the Mathmo app to test your curve sketching before having a go at some STEP and other advanced mathematics examinations questions.
