What is inside

Notes, examples and past papers in one book

Most students work from a textbook, a separate question bank, a folder of past papers and their own notes. This book puts all four together, in the order the course is taught.

  • Written to be used in class

    The book follows the order the course is taught in, so you can work through the explanation as it happens rather than copying it down and making sense of it later.

  • Worked examples, then practice

    Every topic opens with examples worked through in full, followed by practice questions that build from the straightforward to the kind the examiners actually set.

  • Past papers sorted by topic

    Cambridge 9709 questions are grouped under the topic they test, so you can practise circular measure the week you learn it instead of waiting for a whole paper.

  • Homework built in

    Each topic ends with a set of homework questions, so what you do between classes is already chosen and already in front of you.

  • Two volumes, one syllabus

    P1 is split where the syllabus splits, at the end of trigonometry, so each volume stays a manageable size and you always know where you are in the course.

What you receive

Everything for P1, in two volumes

Learn it, practise it, master it, from one book.

  • Two printed volumes covering the full P1 syllabus
  • Structured notes for every topic
  • Worked examples before each practice set
  • Topical Cambridge 9709 past paper questions
  • Homework questions at the end of every topic
  • Space to work through problems in the book itself

What is covered

What each volume covers

2 volumes covering all 8 syllabus topics, in the order Cambridge sets them out. Each volume carries its own notes, worked examples, topical past paper questions and homework.

Volume 1

Algebra, functions and geometry

The first half of the syllabus, covering everything you need to handle confidently before calculus starts.

  1. Quadratics

    Completing the square, the discriminant, quadratic inequalities, solving simultaneously with a linear equation, and equations reducible to quadratic form.

  2. Functions

    Domain and range, composite and inverse functions, and the graphs that go with them, including transformations.

  3. Coordinate geometry

    Gradients, midpoints and lengths, equations of straight lines, the equation of a circle, and points of intersection.

  4. Circular measure

    Radians, arc length and the area of a sector, plus the problems that combine all three.

  5. Trigonometry

    Exact values, the sine, cosine and tangent graphs, the identities, and solving trigonometric equations over a given interval.

Volume 2

Series and calculus

The second half, where the syllabus builds on Volume 1 and moves into the topics that carry the most marks.

  1. Series

    The binomial expansion of (a + b) to the power n, arithmetic and geometric progressions, and sums to infinity.

  2. Differentiation

    Differentiation from first principles, the chain rule, tangents and normals, stationary points, increasing and decreasing functions, and connected rates of change.

  3. Integration

    Indefinite and definite integrals, integrating (ax + b) to the power n, the area under a curve, and volumes of revolution.

Who it is for

Who this book is for

  • AS Level students sitting Cambridge 9709 Paper 1
  • Students taking the AS Level course here, who use it in every class
  • A2 students going back over the Pure foundation before P3
  • Anyone taught elsewhere who wants the notes, practice and past papers in one place

Worth knowing

Students taking the course here are asked to get the books before term starts. Classes are taught straight from them, so arriving with the book means following the explanation as it happens and doing homework out of the same pages that evening.
