: Detail on horizontal and vertical components and projectile motion formulae. Further Kinematics : Includes variable acceleration and vector methods. Digital & Exclusive Resources
The table below outlines the progression of key concepts from Year 1 to Year 2, demonstrating why the Year 2 textbook requires a more sophisticated analytical approach. Mathematical Area Year 1 Foundation Year 2 Advanced Application Discrete Binomial Distribution Continuous Normal Distribution & Approximations Statistical Hypothesis Testing Testing single proportions in Binomial models Testing population means ( ) using Normal models Kinematics & Dynamics 1D Motion with Constant Acceleration 2D Projectile Motion & Variable Acceleration Calculus Statics & Systems Resolving simple forces on smooth surfaces Resolving moments and friction on rough inclined planes Strategic Study Framework for Exam Excellence Analyzing objects on inclined planes, dealing with limiting
The availability of the textbook in PDF format offers several benefits, including:
Exclusive to Edexcel, the Statistics section refers heavily to a specific large data set (usually involving weather or census data). The textbook provides the specific practice questions needed to master this unique exam requirement. How to Use the Textbook for an A* Mathematical Area Year 1 Foundation Year 2 Advanced
Located at the end of major sections, these provide ideal material for timed, open-book practice sessions ahead of mock examinations.
