About the Book

This Homework Book is best used in conjunction with Haese Mathematics “Mathematics for Australia 6 Second Edition" textbook.

The aim of this book is to help students develop and improve skills learned in class. 

Questions are divided into chapters and topics; with questions covering the content of all 18 chapters in the corresponding textbook. A chapter review challenges students to answer a variety of question types, encouraging them to draw on their knowledge and helping them become more confident and proficient in their skills.

Reminders are strategically located throughout the book, providing helpful references for students working independently. Revisiting these reminders will help students retain useful tips, ideal for use in real-world situations.

A Homework Diary enables easy allocation of homework and allows parents and teachers to monitor student progress.

Answers will be provided digitally, via the Haese Mathematics website.

What drew you to the field of mathematics?

Originally, I planned to study engineering at university, but after a few weeks I quickly realised that it wasn't for me. So I switched to a mathematics degree at the first available opportunity. I didn't really have a plan to major in statistics, but as I continued my studies I found myself growing more fond of the discipline. The mathematical rigor in proving distributional results and how they link to real-world data -- it all just seemed to click.

 

What are some interesting things that you get to do at work?

As the resident statistician here at Haese Mathematics, I get the pleasure of writing new statistics chapters and related material. Statistics has always been a challenging subject to both teach and learn, however it doesn't always have to be that way. To bridge that gap, I like to try and include as many historical notes, activities, and investigations as I can to make it as engaging as possible. The reasons why we do things, and the people behind them are often important things we forget to talk about. Statistics, and of course mathematics, doesn't just exist within the pages of your textbook or even the syllabus. There's so much breadth and depth to these disciplines, most of the time we just barely scratch the surface.

 

What interests you outside mathematics?

In my free time I like studying good typography and brushing up on my TeX skills to become the next TeXpert. On the less technical side of things, I also enjoy scrapbooking, painting, and making the occasional card.

Michael Mampusti

Michael completed a Bachelor of Mathematics (Advanced) at the University of Wollongong. He studied fractal substitution tilings as part of his Honours in Pure Mathematics, and finished a PhD in operator algebraic dynamical systems in 2019.

Throughout his time at university, Michael was employed as a tutorial leader for a number of mathematics subjects. He enjoyed teaching a wide variety of students and helping them throughout their respective degrees. The transition into the education sector was therefore a natural move for him after graduating from university. Michael has worked at Haese Mathematics as a mathematician and proofreader since 2019.

Outside of work, Michael enjoys practicing music, playing video games, and getting destroyed by the competition in the local squash scene.
