Pemberton Mathematics for Cambridge IGCSE®

The content is excellent and is the most comprehensive match to the 0580 extended syllabus that I have reviewed. The experience of the author is apparent in the construction of the chapters, examples and exercises. It is a very valuable resource to teachers that may be teaching 0580 IGCSE as it so closely matches the syllabus.
