hey i got an ancient looking 4unit mathematics textbook by denise & graham arnold printed a couple of generations ago ( lol actually 1993, its justt too old).

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

YEP I AM ALMOST SURE THEY ARE IDENTICAL!

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

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 )

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.
