Instead the answer is given, with a direction to read the examples in the previous section if more detail is needed. * minor change to numbers in the magnitude of a vector section in Example 1; as the numbers were exactly the same as those in Example 2. * adjust Examle 2 in 'angle between two vectors' to match SQA exam questions; with a part (a) of identiying the vectors and (b) of doing angles.

Previously whole year's interest was added on. Question corrected (and starting value changed) in order to reflect fact that only 8 months interest should be added between Version 1.0 and 1.1 [version 1.1 NOW COMPLETE AND PUBLISHED] * decimal points replaced with · throughout to match SQA formatting * reformatted the negative number section so that explanations are clearer and examples are aligned in columns * added in section on First Fit Algorithm NATIONAL 4 MATHEMATICS CORRECTIONS between Version 2.0 and 2.1 * various minor formatting changes * moved the copyright statements and the record of corrections from back page to after contents * factorising Example 1, "Write 3 in front of the bracket" becomes "Write 3 in front of the brackets" * area of a circle example 3, incorrect "continued on next page" removed from middle of answer * changing subject of a formula examples 1 and 2, minor change to sentence before each example between Version 1.6 and 2.0 [version 2.0 NOW COMPLETE AND PUBLISHED] * adjust font to be sans-serif (Calibri) rather than Times New Roman * make wording/examples more consistent between N4 Maths and N4 Applications of Maths, in sections where the content is the same * all assessment-style questions rephrased to have a clear command word in line with SQA strategies. e.g. "how many..." changed to "Calculate how many..."; "make [a drawing]" changed to "construct..."; "is the..." changed to "determine whether the..." * many minor layout/phrasing issues * throughout (all explanation/justify examples): add in example where explanation includes a 'less than' sign * add in more detail of explanations that would/wouldn't get marks in relevant questions. * in probability section, give all answers as either a percentage or a fraction rather than always fractions * update pie chart drawing example to include the drawing of the pie chart, not just calculating the angles * change example 1 in 'equations with letters on both sides' to have different coefficients of each letter to minimise confusion. Tidy up working/layout in the entire equations section. * update all diagrams in the scatter graph section to make them clearer between Version 1.5 and 1.6 * decimal points replaced with · throughout to match SQA formatting * reference to 2sf in cylinder volume question changed to 1dp * reformatted the negative number section so that explanations are clearer and examples are aligned in columns between Version 1.4 and 1.5 [VERSION 1.5 NOW COMPLETE AND PUBLISHED] * references to (fixed) content of old Added Value Unit removed since all content is now examinable in AVU between Version 1.3 and 1.4 [VERSION 1.4 NOW COMPLETE AND PUBLISHED] * changed grouped frequency table example to match style of unit assessment * Introduction: phrase "Schools or individuals who purchase a site licence before the first National 5 exam in May 2014 will be eligible to receive a free copy of any revised notes.

"the list of number above" changed to reflect the fact that the list is actually on the previous page in Example 1. * Page 46. " of the form y=b where a can be...". 'a' should be 'b' * Page 57. In step two it says "we have the opposite". Should say "adjacent". * Page 58. In the quadrilateral solution it says "x = 360-90-65-50". 'x' should read 'y' * Page 78. Diagram added to Example 1
