Sequences & Series in AS-Level Maths (from Sep 2017):
During the year that students study for an AS-Level in Maths, they will be required to cover the following topic areas in SEQUENCES & SERIES:
- binomial expansion (inc. factorial notation and Pascal’s triangle)
These topic areas will be tested in the Pure Mathematics paper – Paper 1.
Sequences & Series in A-Level Maths (from Sep 2017):
In addition to the above, students studying for an A-Level in Maths will also be required to study the following areas in SEQUENCES & SERIES:
- more binomial expansion, nth term
- increasing, decreasing and periodic sequences
- sigma notation
- arithmetic sequences and series
- geometric sequences and series
- sequences in modelling
This is done over 2 years and these additional topic areas will be tested in Pure Mathematics Paper 2.
