This system was initially introduced to schools and students to provide support material (with answers) for the year 11 textbook New Foundations of Mathematics (ISBN 1-86307-030-3).

The system is based around .giving access to schools or individual students "Chapters" of mathematical topics. Eventually, there will be a large and comprehensive range of topics ranging from upper primary to upper secondary levels.

From February 2001, each of the Chapters of New Foundations were made available as PDF files (exactly as in the printed book). The (additional) support files are of a question-based nature and, where appropriate, answers are provided. For 2004, these files (or upgraded versions) are again available.

Any school can order one or more PDF files and can, subject to a simple agreement, receive a licence to reproduce them for unrestricted school use over a 12 month period. Individual students can also make use of the service. (See ordering information below.)

What are PDF files? These files can be received via e-mail and are very close to book quality when progressively and conveniently printed by the receiving school, even on inkjet printers. As long as the school has Adobe Acrobat Reader software (available free for download from Adobe), the PDF files can be read and printed using PC or Macintosh platforms.

IF YOUR STUDENTS HAVE READY ACCESS TO PCs OR MACs, THE TEXT AND ARTWORK FOR EACH PDF FILE (CHAPTER OR TOPIC) ARE CLEAR AND CAN BE WORKED DIRECTLY FROM THE MONITOR*.

PRICES (including GST)

For both schools and individuals, Minimum Total Invoice $55

 

A. SUPPORT MATERIAL for each chapter of New Foundations of Mathematics:

$5.50 per chapter per annum .

Access to support material is FREE for schools using the New Foundations of Mathematics textbook on the year 11 booklist.

Individual students of non-participating schools (e-mail us) can purchase this material at 80% of the above school rate. Individual students of participating schools should receive the material free but only from your school mathematics department.

Support material is available for January/February 2004 downloading for the 2004 school year.

Procedure for H.O.D. Teachers: Firstly please e-mail Austed to inform us that your school is using the New Foundations book as a compulsory textbook for your year 11 students. We will then e-mail you the simple 12-months agreement to fill in and fax back. The Support Files will then be downloaded to your school via e-mail or sent via CD ($11 CD surcharge applies plus post; please specify PC or Mac).
