Roots and powers are closely related, but only some roots can be written as
whole numbers. Surds are roots which cannot be written in this way.
Nevertheless, it is possible to manipulate surds, and to simplify formulae.

An Algebra Refresher.
This booklet revises basic algebraic techniques.
This is a welsh language version.
All students are assessed using a paper-based written test of multi-choice questions (MCQs). The test has 15 questions of which the students must pass with 12 correct. Two hours were allowed. All of the questions were on routine arithmetic and algebra with emphasis on manipulative drill and practice, e.g. decomposition into powers of primes, long division, fractions, BODMAS, surds, elementary function definition, and inequalities. The test is quite demanding and was introduced last year 2001. It is repeated for those who fail six times during the course of the year in a programme called â??Essential Mathematicsâ??. Passing it is a mandatory requirement to proceed into the second year.
