Introduction

This unit considers the way that judges make law, how the common law system works and the advantages and disadvantages of a system like the British one that relies heavily on such rules and rule making. The unit will set out the basic differences between ‘civil code’ systems and ‘common law’ systems, and consider the relationship between judge-made law and statutory law.

Complex numbers
You may have met complex numbers before, but not had experience in manipulating them. This unit gives an accessible introduction to complex numbers, which are very important in science and technology, as well as mathematics. The unit includes definitions, concepts and techniques which will be very helpful and interesting to a wide variety of people with a reasonable background in algebra and trigonometry.

1.4 Summary of Unit A2
This unit is concerned with two main topics. In Section 1, you will learn about another kind of graphical display, the boxplot. A boxplot is a fairly simple graphic, which displays certain summary statistics of a set of data. Boxplots are particularly useful for assessing quickly the location, dispersion, and symmetry or skewness of a set of data, and for making comparisons of these features in two or more data sets. Boxplots can also be useful for drawing attention to possible outliers in a dat

Effective Teaching of Able Pupils in the Primary Classroom
This is a report describing a small scale study and its findings, from the Oxfordshire Effective Teachers of Able Pupils Project. The report outlines the setting up and development of the study clearly, before reaching ‘tentative’ conclusions. It is divided into nine main sections, following a brief preface and introduction, and ends with a page of useful references. The author uses a variety of sources to illustrate the issues raised, such as ‘points for consideration’, questions, pupil
