CIE International A-Level Maths: Pure Mathematics 1

CIE International A-Level Maths is a course for anyone studying the Cambridge International A-Level Maths:This course covers all the pure content in Paper 1 (Pure Mathematics 1) of the Cambridge International A-Level Maths Course, covered in the first year of study. It is also a great introduction to pure maths for anyone interested in getting started. The main sections of the course are:- Equations and Inequalities - we will look at a wide range of different functions, including quadratic, linear and cubic functions.

- Quadratics - we look at quadratic functions, how to sketch and work with them, solve equations and inequalities and work with the discriminant. - Functions - we learn about domain, range, inverse and composite functions, as well as graph transformations. - Straight Line Graphs - we take this topic, familiar from GCSE, and push it to the next level, introducing new ways of using straight line graphs.

- Circles - we learn how to represent circles in the coordinate plane, find tangents to circles and solve intersections with lines. - Trigonometry - in the two trigonometry chapters we look at how to use trigonometry to solve triangle problems, but also solve trigonometric equations, sketch tri graphs, and prove trigonometric identities. - Circular Measure - we learn how to work with radians to calculate sector areas, arc lengths and solve trigonometric equations.

- Graphs - we will learn how to sketch and work with graphs, including higher order polynomials, as well as graph transformations. - Series - we learn about binomial expansion and the choose function, as well as how to work with arithmetic and geometric series. - Differentiation - in this huge chapter we introduce one of the most powerful and exciting ideas in mathematics.
