Hello Guys,

I am new to this forum, but have recently fallen in love with physics and maths.

I am an international baccalaureate student, who studies maths, and was wondering whether any of you could suggest any books to help with a certain kind of problem.

At the end of our papers, we have questions that are not just straight processes, but the application of mathematical concepts. Suffice to say, I have never done anything like this during GCSE, and I was wondering whether anyone knows of any books that present problems that require the same kind of conceptual (everything is relative guys, I'm sorry if this is offensive) mathematical problem solving.

These involve things like real life situations based on things like Vectors, differentiation, integration, matrixes, complex uses of sine and cosine rule, just to give you a flavor. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
