This paper covers
- Calculus: differentiation (product/chain rules, derivatives of ex and log), antidifferentiation, definite integrals, area between curves, average value, and optimisation via stationary points
- Algebra: solving exponential equations (quadratic-in-disguise), circular equations over a domain, literal/inverse functions and tangents
- Probability & statistics: binomial distribution (E(X), Var(X)), the normal distribution (z-scores), and approximate confidence intervals for a population proportion
- Application/modelling: translating a manufacturing context (cost, revenue, profit, material, depreciation, quality control) into functions and interpreting results in context
