Key to symbols in this book
●
? This symbol means that you may want to discuss a point with your teacher. If
you are working on your own there are answers in the back of the book. It is
important, however, that you have a go at answering the questions before looking
up the answers if you are to understand the mathematics fully.
●
This symbol invites you to join in a discussion about proof. The answers to these
questions are given in the back of the book.
! This is a warning sign. It is used where a common mistake, misunderstanding or
tricky point is being described.
This is the ICT icon. It indicates where you could use a graphic calculator or a
computer. Graphic calculators and computers are not permitted in any of the
examinations for the Cambridge International AS and A Level Mathematics 9709
syllabus, however, so these activities are optional.
This symbol and a dotted line down the right-hand side of the page indicate
material that you are likely to have met before. You need to be familiar with the
material before you move on to develop it further.
This symbol and a dotted line down the right-hand side of the page indicate
material which is beyond the syllabus for the unit but which is included for
completeness.

Introduction
This is part of a series of books for the University of Cambridge International
Examinations syllabus for Cambridge International AS and A Level Mathematics
9709. It follows on from Pure Mathematics 1 and completes the pure mathematics
required for AS and A level. The series also contains a book for each of mechanics
and statistics.
These books are based on the highly successful series for the Mathematics in
Education and Industry (MEI) syllabus in the UK but they have been redesigned
for Cambridge international students; where appropriate, new material has been
written and the exercises contain many past Cambridge examination questions.
An overview of the units making up the Cambridge international syllabus is given
in the diagram on the next page.
Throughout the series the emphasis is on understanding the mathematics
as well as routine calculations. The various exercises provide plenty of scope
for practising basic techniques; they also contain many typical examination
questions.
An important feature of this series is the electronic support. There is an
accompanying disc containing two types of Personal Tutor presentation:
examination-style questions, in which the solutions are written out, step by step,
with an accompanying verbal explanation, and test-yourself questions; these are
multiple-choice with explanations of the mistakes that lead to the wrong answers
as well as full solutions for the correct ones. In addition, extensive online support
is available via the MEI website, www.mei.org.uk.
The books are written on the assumption that students have covered and
understood the work in the Cambridge IGCSE® syllabus. However, some
of the early material is designed to provide an overlap and this is designated
‘Background’. There are also places where the books show how the ideas can be
taken further or where fundamental underpinning work is explored and such
work is marked as ‘Extension’.
The original MEI author team would like to thank Sophie Goldie who has carried
out the extensive task of presenting their work in a suitable form for Cambridge
international students and for her many original contributions. They would
also like to thank University of Cambridge International Examinations for their
detailed advice in preparing the books and for permission to use many past
examination questions.
