Mathematics Core C1 is the unit all other A-level Maths units build upon, so it is essential to gain a thorough understanding of the basics taught in this unit to allow for successful study later on.
This book is designed to give you all the information you need to succeed, but leave out derivations and side information often included in other books which can confuse or distract a student from grasping vital concepts. It also contains numerous fully worked examples to show exactly how to approach various question types.
The book can be used as a complete course for C1. The information is sufficient to be used as a self study course, but it can also be used as a reference when problems are encountered (or even when you have become hopelessly stuck).
The sections covered are:
Coordinate Geometry
Surds
Processing Polynomials
Simultaneous Equations - One Linear and One Quadratic
Completing the Square
Solving Inequalities
Algebraic Division
Factor Theorem and Remainder Theorem
Quadratic Functions and their graphs
Transforming Graphs
Differentiation
Differentiation from first principles
Tangents and Normals to a curve
Stationary Points - Maxima and Minima
Binomial Expansion
