Cambridge International AS & A Level Mathematics can be a life-changing course. On the one hand, it is a facilitating subject: there are many university courses that either require an A Level or equivalent qualification in mathematics or prefer applicants who have it. On the other hand, it will help you to learn to think more precisely and logically, while also encouraging creativity. Doing mathematics can be like doing art: just as an artist needs to master her tools (use of the paintbrush, for example) and understand theoretical ideas (perspective, colour wheels and so on), so does a mathematician (using tools such as algebra and calculus, which you will learn about in this course). But this is only the technical side: the joy in art comes through creativity, when the artist uses her tools to express ideas in novel ways. Mathematics is very similar: the tools are needed, but the deep joy in the subject comes through solving problems.
w ev ie
You might wonder what a mathematical ‘problem’ is. This is a very good question, and many people have offered different answers. You might like to write down your own thoughts on this question, and reflect on how they change as you progress through this course. One possible idea is that a mathematical problem is a mathematical question that you do not immediately know how to answer. (If you do know how to answer it immediately, then we might call it an ‘exercise’ instead.) Such a problem will take time to answer: you may have to try different approaches, using different tools or ideas, on your own or with others, until you finally discover a way into it. This may take minutes, hours, days or weeks to achieve, and your sense of achievement may well grow with the effort it has taken.

This series of Cambridge International AS & A Level Mathematics coursebooks, written for the Cambridge Assessment International Education syllabus for examination from 2020, will support you both to learn the mathematics required for these examinations and to develop your mathematical problem-solving skills. The new examinations may well include more unfamiliar questions than in the past, and having these skills will allow you to approach such questions with curiosity and confidence.

In addition to the mathematical tools that you will learn in this course, the problem-solving skills that you will develop will also help you throughout life, whatever you end up doing. It is very common to be faced with problems, be it in science, engineering, mathematics, accountancy, law or beyond, and having the confidence to systematically work your way through them will be very useful.

In addition to problem solving, there are two other key concepts that Cambridge Assessment International Education have introduced in this syllabus: namely communication and mathematical modelling. These appear in various forms throughout the coursebooks.

Communication in speech, writing and drawing lies at the heart of what it is to be human, and this is no less true in mathematics. While there is a temptation to think of mathematics as only existing in a dry, written form in textbooks, nothing could be further from the truth: mathematical communication comes in many forms, and discussing mathematical ideas with colleagues is a major part of every mathematician’s working life. As you study this course, you will work on many problems. Exploring them or struggling with them together with a classmate will help you both to develop your understanding and thinking, as well as improving your (mathematical) communication skills. And being able to convince someone that your reasoning is correct, initially verbally and then in writing, forms the heart of the mathematical skill of ‘proof’.

Mathematical modelling is where mathematics meets the ‘real world’. There are many situations where people need to make predictions or to understand what is happening in the world, and mathematics frequently provides tools to assist with this. Mathematicians will look at the real world situation and attempt to capture the key aspects of it in the form of equations, thereby building a model of reality. They will use this model to make predictions, and where possible test these against reality. If necessary, they will then attempt to improve the model in order to make better predictions. Examples include weather prediction and climate change modelling, forensic science (to understand what happened at an accident or crime scene), modelling population change in the human, animal and plant kingdoms, modelling aircraft and ship behaviour, modelling financial markets and many others. In this course, we will be developing tools which are vital for modelling many of these situations.

■ Explore activities: These activities are designed to offer problems for classroom use. They require thought and deliberation: some introduce a new idea, others will extend your thinking, while others can support consolidation. The activities are often best approached by working in small groups and then sharing your ideas with each other and the class, as they are not generally routine in nature. This is one of the ways in which you can develop problemsolving skills and confidence in handling unfamiliar questions. ■ Questions labelled as P , M or PS : These are questions with a particular emphasis on ‘Proof’, ‘Modelling’ or ‘Problem solving’. They are designed to support you in preparing for the new style of examination. They may or may not be harder than other questions in the exercise. ■ The language of the explanatory sections makes much more use of the words ‘we’, ‘us’ and ‘our’ than in previous coursebooks. This language invites and encourages you to be an active participant rather than an observer, simply following instructions (‘you do this, then you do that’). It is also the way that professional mathematicians usually write about mathematics. The new examinations may well present you with unfamiliar questions, and if you are used to being active in your mathematics, you will stand a better chance of being able to successfully handle such challenges.

You should spend more time on questions with higher mark allocations; questions with only one or two marks should not need you to spend time doing complicated calculations or writing long explanations.

It took until the 16th century for mathematicians to discover formulae for solving cubic equations, ax 3 + bx 2 + cx + d = 0 , and quartic equations, ax 4 + bx 3 + cx 2 + dx + e = 0. (These formulae are very complicated and there is insufficient space to include them here but you might wish to research them on the internet.)

In this chapter you will develop skills for factorising and solving cubic and quartic equations. These types of equations have various applications in the real world. For example, cubic equations are used in thermodynamics and fluid mechanics to model the pressure/volume/temperature behaviour of gases and fluids.

Mathematicians then spent many years trying to discover a general formula for solving quintic equations, ax5 + bx 4 + cx 3 + dx 2 + ex + f = 0. Eventually, in 1824, a mathematician managed to prove that no general formula for this exists.

One of the most fascinating occurrences of logarithms in nature is that of the logarithmic spiral that can be observed in a nautilus shell. We also see logarithmic spiral shapes in spiral galaxies, and in plants such as sunflowers.
ie
2 21 x 3
2 21 x ÷ 2 x −2 5
At IGCSE / O Level we learnt how to solve some simple exponential equations. For example, 32 x = 2 can be solved by first writing 32 as a power of 2. In this chapter we will learn how to solve more difficult exponential equations such as a x = b where there is no obvious way of writing the numbers a and b in index form with the same base number. In order to be able to do this we will first learn about a new type of function called the logarithmic function. A logarithmic function is the inverse of an exponential function.

2.8 Transforming a relationship to linear form

When we collect experimental data for two variables we often wish to find a mathematical relationship connecting the variables. When the data plots on a graph lie on a straight line the relationship can be easily found using the equation y = mx + c, where m is the gradient and c is the y-intercept. It is more common, however, for the data plots to lie on a curve.

Logarithms can be used to convert some curves into straight lines.

The French mathematician Joseph Fourier (1768−1830) found a way to represent any wave-like function as the sum (possibly infinite) of simple sine waves. The sum of sine functions is called a Fourier series. These series can be applied to vibration problems. Fourier is also credited with discovering the greenhouse effect.

For example, we have shown, by calculation, that the equation f( x ) = x5 + x − 1 = 0 has a root α between 0 and 1.

How could we find it?

The root we are trying to find is a value of x, so rearranging x5 + x − 1 = 0 into the form x = F( x ) seems reasonable (in other words, x = some function of x). One possible rearrangement of this form is x = 5 1 − x .

This reverse process is often referred to as splitting a fraction into its partial fractions. In Mathematics it is often easier to deal with two or more simple fractions than it is to deal with one complicated fraction.

In the Pure Mathematics 1 Coursebook, Chapter 6, you learnt how to find the binomial expansion of ( a + b ) n for positive integer values of n. After working through this chapter you will be able to expand expressions of the form (1 + x ) n for values of n that are not positive integers (providing x , 1).

In particular, we will learn about integration by substitution and integration by parts, which can be considered as the ‘reverse process’ of the chain rule and the product rule for differentiation that we learnt about earlier in this course. These new rules will enable you to integrate many more functions than you could previously.

Vectors are used to model many situations in the world around us. They are used by engineers to ensure that buildings are designed safely. They are used in navigation to ensure that planes and boats, for example, arrive at their destinations in differing winds or water currents. There are countless examples of the use of vectors to model the movement of objects in mathematics and physics. Displacement, velocity and acceleration are all examples of vector quantities. Vectors are essential to describing the position and location of objects. A boat lost at sea can be found if its bearing and distance from each of two fixed points is known. These are just a few examples. Our world is 3-dimensional, as far as we know, and in this chapter we will be studying vectors in two and three dimensions. As the mathematics of vectors can be applied to all vectors, the study of vector geometry and algebra in general is important.

The vectors a and b have the same direction but not the same magnitude or length. Vectors a and b are parallel but not equal. In fact, a is half the length of b. When the length of a is doubled, the vectors are equal. In other words b = 2a . When a is scaled so that it is the same length as b, then the vectors are equal.

We have seen how to add and subtract vectors and also how to multiply a vector by a scalar. It is also possible to multiply two vectors. It is possible to find two different products by multiplying a pair of vectors. The first product gives an answer that is a vector. This is called the vector product or cross product (for example, the cross product of the vectors a and b is a × b). The cross product is not required for Pure Mathematics 3. The second product gives an answer that is a scalar. This is called the scalar product or dot product (the dot product of the vectors a and b, for example, is a ⋅ b).

What is a differential equation?

dy d2 y or as one of its terms is called a dx dx 2 dy differential equation. When the equation has the first derivative as one of its terms, dx dy it is called a fi rst order differential equation. For example, the equation = 3x 2 is an dx alternative way of representing the relationship y = x 3 + C , where C is a constant.

To solve a differential equation, we integrate to find the direct relationship between x and y, such as y = x 3 + C . The direct equation y = x 3 + C is called the general solution dy of the differential equation = 3x 2 . To find a particular solution, we must have further dx information that will enable us to find the value of C .

You might wonder about the usefulness of such seemingly abstract equations in the real world. In fact, differential equations are excellent mathematical models for many real-life situations and are essential to solve many problems. First order differential equations can model rates of change, in other words, the rate at which one quantity is increasing or decreasing with respect to another quantity. There are many examples in the physical world that can be modelled using such relationships. A few examples are the rate of increase of the number of bacteria in a culture, simple kinematics problems, the rate of decrease of the value of a car and the rate at which a hot liquid cools.

The number system we use today has developed over time as new sets of numbers have been needed to model new situations. Early mathematicians used natural numbers for counting. Later, zero and negative numbers were accepted as valid numbers and the set of integers was established. In Pythagoras’ time, mathematicians understood that rational numbers existed as they were the values in between integers. Pythagorean mathematicians thought that all numbers could be written as rational numbers. These same mathematicians were shocked by the discovery of irrational numbers such as 2 and

they did not trust them as valid quantities at the time. Even as late as the 17th and 18th centuries, some famous mathematicians still doubted that negative numbers were of any use and thought that subtracting something from nothing was an impossible operation!
In the set of natural or counting numbers (ℕ) there are no negatives and no zero. In the set of integers (ℤ) there are no part or fractional values. In the set of rational numbers (ℚ) there are no irrational quantities such as π. In the set of real numbers (ℝ) there are no numbers that when squared result in a negative value.

In the 17th century, the set of imaginary numbers (I) was accepted as a valid number set. René Descartes described the collection of number sets that had been accepted as valid before that point as the set of real numbers. The new set, which he did not like very much, he described as imaginary. He intended this to be an insult as he thought they were not of great importance. Many other famous mathematicians agreed with him. They were, however, quite wrong about that. This name has often confused students who are new to this area of study.

The set of complex numbers combines the real numbers and the imaginary numbers into a 2-dimensional rather than a 1-dimensional number system. Descartes described the numbers in the set of complex numbers as the sum of a real part and an imaginary part. Complex numbers are represented as points on a plane rather than points on a number line because of their 2 -dimensional nature.

Clearly, accepting new sets of numbers as being valid is something mathematicians have struggled with over time. You might not feel comfortable with this new idea. The set of real, imaginary and complex numbers does have application in the real world. Without imaginary and, therefore, complex numbers there would be no mobile telephones, for example, as they are used to find audio signals. Complex numbers are used to generate fractals, which are used in the study of weather systems and earthquakes. Fractals are also used to make realistic computer-generated images for movies.

The horizontal axis is called the real axis and the vertical axis is called the imaginary axis.
Real numbers can be ordered along a number line. Complex numbers cannot be ordered as they are represented by points in a plane rather than on a line.

More precisely, it is the angle made between the positive real axis and the position vector. The principal argument, θ , of a complex number is an angle such that −π , θ ø π. Sometimes it might be more convenient to give θ as an angle such that 0 ø θ , 2 π. Usually, the argument is given in radians.
