Notice that this is a multi-topic question as , and are being

considered within it.

Many of the questions in and are adapted from past examination papers for IGCSE

Mathematics by permission of the University of Cambridge Local Examinations Syndicate. The

course is a different syllabus from that followed by students of the course, but has many features in

common. These questions are certainly appropriate for practising mathematical techniques and applications

relevant to the curriculum, but do not necessarily represent the style of question that will be

encountered on the examination papers. Teachers are referred to the specimen papers of the

syllabus for a more representative group of questions. The University of Cambridge Local Examinations

Syndicate bears no responsibility for the example answers to questions taken from its past question papers

which are contained in this publication.
