The Ultimate Guide to the TeeJay Higher Maths Textbook: Is an Updated PDF Available?
For decades, Scottish secondary school pupils have had a love-hate relationship with one colour: TeeJay blue. The TeeJay publishing scheme, famous for its progressive "CfE" (Curriculum for Excellence) workbooks, is a classroom staple. However, when students reach the pinnacle of pre-university mathematics—the SQA Higher Maths course—the search for resources becomes frantic.
