IB Mathematics: Analysis and Approaches (Higher Level)

Description

IB Mathematics: Analysis and Approaches (Higher Level) is written in line with the latest syllabus. As a functional textbook, it emphasises the quick acquisition and mastery of the necessary mathematical concepts and skills. The development of new content in each topic strikes a balance between maintaining a reasonable level of rigour while ensuring the necessary results are laid out in a succinct manner. Concepts are developed in a logical manner and linked whenever possible to help students develop a macroscopic view of Mathematics, particularly in
the area of Calculus.

The target readers are students who had completed the Singapore-Cambridge GCE O-Level examinations or attained equivalent middle school qualifications, and they are assumed to have taken both Mathematics and Additional Mathematics. Readers without Additional Mathematics background can consider using our textbook on Mastering IGCSE Additional Mathematics to bridge some of the gaps. Students with IGCSE qualifications will need to note that the trigonometric results of Compound Angle Identities and Double Angle Identities are assumed in this textbook, and they can be found in the IB formula booklet.

To expose students to a wider range of mathematical skills, some of the concepts that are not within the scope of the IB Higher Level syllabus for Analysis and Approaches may appear in both content and practice questions. These are marked with an *, and we leave it to the readers’ discretion to decide whether or not to skip them.
