Calculus is an important part of A Level Mathematics and Part 1 of this two series focuses on differentiation, althoughChapter 10 is on Series and Series Expansions. It’s assumed you have already gained a very high grade in GCSE Maths andyou have good basic skills in algebra and trigonometry. The Casio calculator you are recommended to have in order tomake the most of this book is the fx-991 ES PLUS which is shown on the cover of the book.

There have been many generations of school students who have benefited from the Helix Oxford set of Mathematical Instruments. If you learn how to use them properly, you also will gain a good knowledge of geometry which is vital for your gain a high grade in your GCSE Maths. Geometry is all about shapes and in this book you will be shown how to use your Mathematical Instruments to create many different 2D shapes. However it must be stressed it does take practice to get them right.

A large part of your Key Stage 3 Maths course is on algebra and this book has been written to help you in your understanding of this subject. Algebra is not everyone’s favourite, however with the use of the Casio fx-991ES Plus calculator you will find the whole subject very accessible. To make the most of this book, you will definitely require one of these calculators as many of the solved problems contains the keystrokes you require to find the right answer. The fx-991ES calculator is suitable not only for Key Stage 3 but also Key Stage 4 and A Level Maths. If you are intending to progress onto an A Level course in maths you will find this calculator invaluable. There is also a wide selection of books from Cambridge Paperbacks on using the fx-991ES calculator on these courses. In order to gain a good understanding

Mathematical modelling is a highly desirable skill to have as it has applications across all areas of science, engineering and technology. Traditionally it has been a difficult skill to acquire owing to the problems of implementation. However armed with the Casio fx-991ES Plus calculator, it is surprising how much can be learned and achieved with this modestly costing device. There was a time when only engineering was all about numbers; now life sciences, biology in particular, is now making mathematical demands on its graduates. In particular the modelling of biological systems and their behaviour. A good mathematical skill set is therefore essential for all scientists. This book has been written to help you develop a modelling mindset as you progress through your A Level Maths course. The task of being able to express a problem in terms of equations and then perform calculations can be achieved with relative ease when using a scientific calculator.

This is Part 2 of this four part series on CGSE KS4 Maths Problem Solving with a Casio fx calculator which is part of the Cambridge Maths Method. If you have worked through Part 1 you should now a reasonable working knowledge of the Casio fx-991ES calculator and how it’s used to solve problems. Part 2 offers you the opportunity to enhance your understanding and to introduce you to new ways of using your calculator.It must be emphasised again how important it is for you to write up the examples in your notebook and work through them – perform all the calculator keystrokes – learn by doing. You will find that as you progress through this series your understanding of maths will grow and you will gain a better appreciation of the material that you are taught in your classroom maths.

This book on Worked Example offers you further insight into solving GCSE Key Stage 4 maths problems using your fx-991ES calculator. Not only will it help you to focus your current maths knowledge, but also provide new ways of applying your fx-991ES calculator to problem solving. You will find that only those topics in your GCSE syllabus that benefit directly from the use of a scientific calculator are covered in this book. It’s important that you copy the examples into your notebook and work through each of them using the keystrokes on your fx-991ES calculator – this really is part of the learning process.

This is Part 4 of a four part series covering valuable material for your GCSE Key Stage 4 mathematics and is also part of theCambridge Maths Method. If you have not already worked through Parts 1, 2, and 3, you are recommended to do so. Themajority of the chapters in this book require the use of the Casio fx-991ES Plus which contains some very powerful features.Learning to use this calculator will enhance your maths skill set and lead you to success.

This is Part 3 of a four part series covering valuable material for your GCSE Key Stage 4 mathematics which is part of the Cambridge Maths Method. If you have not already worked through Parts 1 and 2 you are strongly recommend to do so.You will be introduced to functions which in many respects lie at the core of mathematics. A good grounding in functions, what they represent and how to manipulate them is essential knowledge in order to make headway in the subject.The chapter on numbers should also be revealing on how quantities are represented by the decimal number system. You will see how the fx-991ES calculator is ideal for processing very big and very small numbers. Many maths problems involve scaling and proportionality and a couple of chapters are given over to these subjects. Many exam questions often require a good working knowledge of scaling; you will find the many worked examples on scaling useful for future.

Learning how to plot graphs is a fundamental skill in the understanding of mathematics. In Key Stage 3 & 4 you will be expected to plot data and make sense of it. This book shows you how to choose the proper scaling on your graph paper and where to draw your axis. You will be shown how to make extensive use of your Casio fx-991ES or fx-115ES calculator to enable you to create data from functions for plotting. You are expected to repeat every example in this book in order to gain a good hands-on experience of graph plotting yourself.
