Supplements
We decided against adopting this edition as we are using a previous edition (6th).
Great reading resource for the undergraduate course.
This, 8th edition, contains some useful updates from the 7th and this is a book which is very useful for situating the mathematic subject knowledge contains in its sister book. The combination of pedagogic knowledge and content knowledge is very important (Shulman) for trainees to develop and this well written yet research supported text helps with this.
