Cambridge International AS & A Level Mathematics

This series of resources has been developed to support teachers and students of Cambridge International AS & A Level Mathematics (9709). They are written to introduce new mathematical skills with clear explanations and provide practice materials in order to help students consolidate their knowledge and progress through the syllabus. The series encourages the discussion of mathematical concepts and offers the opportunity for deeper investigation of how mathematics can be applied to solve a variety of problems.

Cambridge International AS & A Level Mathematics: Pure Mathematics 2 & 3 matches the corresponding units of the syllabus. It clearly indicates materials required for P3 study only, and contains materials on topics such as logarithmic and exponential functions, trigonometry, differentiation, integration, numerical solutions of equations, vectors and complex numbers. This coursebook contains a variety of features including recap sections for students to check their prior knowledge, detailed explanations and worked examples, end-of-chapter and cross-topic review exercises and 'Explore' tasks to encourage deeper thinking around mathematical concepts. Answers to coursebook questions are at the back of the book.

Features

• Clear explanations and worked examples leading into practice exercises for students to familiarise themselves with concepts and apply them to answer questions.
• Written specifically for the syllabus for examination from 2020, giving teachers and learners confidence that the content of the syllabus is comprehensively covered.
