This paper covers
- Unit 3 differentiation: chain, product and quotient rules on exponential, logarithmic and trigonometric functions
- Applications of differentiation: rates of change, kinematics, stationary points, curve sketching and optimisation
- Introduction to integration: antidifferentiation, constant of integration from initial conditions, definite integrals and area
- Area between two curves and the trapezoidal rule for numerical integration
- Discrete random variables: Bernoulli sequences, the binomial distribution and expected value
