Official Formulae List
Navigate the five supplied reference blocks and distinguish provided formulas from relationships that still require recall or derivation.
How to study Higher Mathematics
Practise a skill without a calculator first, connect it to neighbouring techniques, then apply it in unfamiliar contexts with complete working and interpretation.
Core concepts
Concept 1
circle formulae
Exam cue: Is the needed relationship actually on the supplied page?
Concept 2
scalar product
Exam cue: Which listed form best matches the given information?
Concept 3
trig formulae
Exam cue: What algebra or interpretation is still required after selecting it?
Concept 4
standard derivatives
Concept 5
standard integrals
Risk pitfalls and guardrails
Treating the page as a complete formula book
Guardrail: Check signs, brackets, domain restrictions, units and whether the answer needs justification.
Copying a formula with the wrong sign or coefficient
Guardrail: Check signs, brackets, domain restrictions, units and whether the answer needs justification.
Substituting before matching symbols and structure
Guardrail: Check signs, brackets, domain restrictions, units and whether the answer needs justification.
Memory anchors
Five supplied blocks
Circle, scalar product, trig, standard derivatives and standard integrals.
Both papers share the page
The specimen Paper 1 and Paper 2 formulae lists are the same.
Reference does not replace recognition
You must decide which formula applies and what each symbol means.
Signs matter
Check cosine addition and the negative integral of sine especially carefully.
Coefficients still need handling
The listed ax formulas require multiplication for derivatives and division for integrals.
Know the boundary
Required rules not printed on the page still need recall or derivation.
Checkpoint rule
Do the check-up only after you can summarize each concept in one sentence and identify one dangerous pitfall from memory.
Knowledge Check (after reading)
