This paper covers

  • Differentiation of exponential, logarithmic and trigonometric functions (chain, product, quotient rules)
  • Applications of differentiation: rates of change, kinematics, stationary points, concavity, optimisation
  • Integration: antidifferentiation, reverse chain rule, definite integrals, signed area and area between curves
  • Trapezoidal rule for numerical integration
  • Binomial distribution: Bernoulli sequences, probabilities, expected value and variance
  • Normal distribution: z-score standardisation, technology probabilities and inverse normal
  • Sampling distribution of the sample proportion
  • Confidence intervals and margin of error for a population proportion
  • Minimum sample size to achieve a target margin of error
  • 2D/3D trigonometry: sine rule, cosine rule and bearings
  • Evaluating reasonableness and writing contextual conclusions for compliance decisions
