Edexcel Further Mathematics Pure 2 (FP2)

Introduction Prerequisites A knowledge of the specifications for C1, C2, C3, C4 and FP1, their prerequisites, preambles and associated formulae is assumed and may be tested. Examination The examination will consist of one 1½ hour paper. It will contain about eight questions with varying mark allocations per question which will be stated on the paper. All questions may be attempted. Calculators Students are expected to have available a calculator with at least the following keys: +, −, ×, ÷, π, √x, ln x, sine, cosine and tangent and their inverses in degrees and decimals of a degree, and in radians; memory. Calculators with a facility for symbolic algebra, differentiation and/or integration are not permitted.

Contents Chapter 1 - Inequalities Uses ideas of inequalities from C1. Chapter 2 - Series Partial fractions knowledge is required from C4. Uses standard results from FP1.
