    I think it will be harder than last year but not half as hard as 2011/2012! Thank
    god!
    I wonder what they'all base the Context and Applications questions on?!

    In context and application I'm expecting a financial maths question, an exponential function/logs question and some sort of calculus question, probably integration orientated.

    First 6 questions are fairly obvious.

    @LCStudent2014

    Want (what you're looking for) = Given (given in question in written terms so you have to change it to maths terms) multiplied by Need (construct this from the two other parts) kind of hard to explain on this sorry!

    Amortisation Formula, De Moivres Theorem for all n is an element of N also.

    Isn't that in the log tables?

    The contrast between the 2013 and 2011/12 papers is ridiculous. It would be amazing if it was like last years, but I'm expecting pure filth tomorrow..

    Does anyone know if that formula for average value of a function is in the log tables? Also in the 2011 papers, in the question on integration, is that type of question still on the course where you have to make some type of substitution and change the limits etc? I haven't been able to find any reference to it in any of the maths books...
    Thanks guys!

    And complex numbers, and the root of a function and differentiation/integration.

    Common sense stuff that should come up would be simultaneous equations, -b formula stuff like that!Fingers crossed!

    Definitely, it was on the sample and I don't think it was on last year. I can't get my head around it though!! Hopefully we can get most marks for doing step 1, 2 and 4.

    The basics of everything, like financial maths, logs, diff and int.. Maybe induction and root 2 formula

    So hi, kind of sorry I had a look here today but too late now.
    Anyway fancy explaining how to get a) The Root of a Function and b) The Average Value of a Function? You'd be sound.

    what do you mean by root of a function?

    avg value in integration is 1^(b-a) and then the integration part with B the larger of the two values. ie On the integral symbol it is the higher of the two numbers

    Jesus I've done nothing all year I was lucky in the mocks that I even passed got a D3 in paper 1 and a D1 in paper 2 I'm only sitting the honours for the extra 25 I have no idea what to study :P

    So all you need to know really besides common sense is constructing surd 2 and 3, proving surd2 is irrational and the average value of a function, oui? :)

    Nope, integration by substitution is removed. I know because now in the applied maths course they will give you the answer to an integration by substitution in order to complete the question, whereas in previous years (pre 2012 I think) you had to work that out yourself.

    If you're asked to use De Moivre's Theorem to solve the equation (insert real number + imaginary number here), does n automatically = 10?

    If binomial expansion and binomial theorem are the same thing, you need to know how to do it...
