Each chapter in this book deals with a single mathematical topic, which ideally should form the basis of a single lecture. The chapter has been designed as a mixture of the following ingredients: -(i) Illustrative examples and notes for the student's pre-lecture reading. (ii) Class discussion exercises for study in a lecture or seminar. (iii) Graded problems for assignment work.

The objects be­ longing to a set are the elements (or members) of the set. Although the definition of a set given here refers to objects, we shall in fact take objects to be numbers throughout this book, i.e. we are concerned with sets of numbers. Illustrative Example 1: Set Notation We give straight away some examples of sets in set notation and explain the meaning in each case.

A campus stabbing that is not what it seems ...When a gifted, handsome Armidale University student is mysteriously stabbed from behind, detectives have almost no clues and no obvious motive. DI Emily Sanderson - calm, controlled and polite - leads a small team of police assembled to solve the case. Tedious investigative police work, the results of various forensic tests, and a little luck, eventually lead to the identification and punishment of the attacker. As the investigation proceeds, the lives of a number of the people associated with the crime - even some of the police - are changed dramatically. At the climax, a number of other, hitherto unresolved cases are finalised. Justice is eventually achieved, and in an epilogue, we learn what subsequently happened in the lives of the major participants.
