Re: [Fhsst-authors] worked examples in maths

[Sarah Blyth]

I think that is a good idea Sam. Then the theory is
all laid out and the practice can all come in one
section at the end of each chapter. I also agree with
moving solutions to the end of the book although I
think that it won't be necessary to have all of the
solutions fully explained - just some key ones per
chapter. Then the answers for the rest should be
sufficient I think.

That's my opinion!
