Mastering Advanced Pure Mathematics is not just another A-Level textbook. It contains full explanations so that it can be used in the classroom or at home as a support in the study of a wide range of syllabuses based on the common core 'A' level topic list. Throughout the book there are:

- 'Do you know?' sections which contain brief reminders of ideas which will enable the reader to continue without any problems
- 'Memory Joggers' to reinforce learning and understanding
- 'Exercises' which are divided into straightforward type questions, and more complex examination questions, to be tackled once the reader has worked through most of the book once
- 'Activities' to broaden knowledge.
