Mr Niall Murphy, the Founder and Director of Education & Studies at The Carlow Academy, is a secondary school teacher of French & Mathematics since 2007. He has a Bachelor of Arts Degree in French and Mathematics from N.U.I. Maynooth where he achieved 1st class honours.
Over his years as a maths teacher, Niall has composed his own authentic notes covering all key exam information and topics for the Leaving Certificate Higher Level maths course. These notes have helped his students to achieve their full potential as they are set out in an easy to follow, colourful format where he breaks the most difficult questions down into easier to understand parts. He also imparts a great deal of knowledge throughout these notes in relation to his everyday teaching methodologies by sharing fundamental techniques for students to be able to succeed in their exam.
These notes will also aid students who are struggling at Higher Level and who are aiming for a minimum of a H6 grade so that they can achieve their 25 extra points as a result.
This PDF file of 55 pages provides students with the basic concepts and knowledge needed for this branch of Mathematics as Algebra forms the foundation of the entire maths course.
