Disclaimers / Terms and Conditions Mathematics need practice. This note gets you the U grade if you only read it. There might be errors. Please use some discretion when reading through. This note is definitely not the best. At A Levels now, it is assumed that many proofs and concepts are already exposed to you. Should you be interested, please research yourself for proofs. The use of the graphic calculator is not covered in this note. It is assumed that you have prior knowledge on its use. Assumptions are made to save time and cut back on redundancy. Strong O level concepts greatly assist in reading this note. Included are some relevant concepts that are not in the H2 Mathematics syllabus for enthusiasts. (Denoted by *) Distribute only to students by email or thumbdrive. The usage of these notes by any school or tuition teacher is stricyl prohibited. This is meant for J1 students only. I strongly recommend all J2 students to practice on problems instead of wasting time here. If you bought a copy of this, please ask for a refund. It is free!
Foreword I feel that amongst all Singapore students, many of us may not have the privilege of receiving quality education in the subject of mathematics due to differing teaching pedagogies in various institutions and teachers/mentors. Despite my limited ability, I hope that these notes will assist you in your learning journey for mathematics, be it the A you are aiming for, or to sustain your genuine interest in the subject. It is also apparent many of us learn for the sake of learning. Should you feel that I am actually somewhat trustworthy, I strongly urge you to consider why you are actually in school. Ultimately, it was never about your interest, it is only about the usefulness of the subject. (Supposedly) In JC, I believe all readers can already see how mathematics is useful in daily life. Its like how the NASSA swimming test could be really boring but could save your life should you accidentally fall into the ocean. In essence, learn math for a purpose. With that understanding, I wish you all the best for H2 Mathematics for your promotional exams. Ang Ray Yan Hwa Chong Institution (11S7B)

Hence, we observe that trigonometric and hyperbolic functions share the relation:
Thus, they share many similar properties with trigonometric ratios, (e.g. addition theorems, double argument formulas) Lastly, here are some graphs for and : (Do note the range)

Chapter 4: Inequalities
4.1 Rational Functions To solve for all inequalities with rational functions, 1) Bring all terms to one side. (DO NOT cancel) 2) Remove all factors that are always positive (proven via complete the square) 3) Plot the graph with the roots. 4) Determine interval of graph that satisfies the inequality (i.e. your solution) For all factorisable or ,
Then, we observe useful results for inequalities: Most of the time, we can just plot the graph using GC. However, to get values in exact form, we must solve them. For instance, | | | |
Also note that by letting , we can solve other inequalities if a substitution can occur. This is illustrated in the following example:

Legend: 5.1 Limits 5.1.1 Introduction
A system of linear equations is a set of 2 or more equations with 2 or more variables. Its solution is a set of values satisfying all equations in the system (not all systems have unique solutions). To do it manually*, we use the Gauss-Jordan Elimination technique, leveraging on the elementary row operations (ERO) on matrices. For any Matrix [A][B], we wish to get [I][S], where A and B represent the LHS and RHS of the equations, I represents the identity matrix and S represents the solution. For example,
The above expression means that as x approaches , approaches L. Also, and represent approaching from the right and left of respectively (one-sided limit), possibly different for discontinuous functions. For rational functions, where denoted by , is

Exponential Functions Sometimes, we need to multiply the numerator and denominator by the same factor to differentiate. E.g.: 6.2.4 Trigonometric Functions ( ) Polynomials
Chapter 6: Integration
6.1 Definitions Integration was discovered by Newton and Leibniz in the 17th century. It is generally regarded as the anti-derivative, i.e. 2 properties are observed for indefinite integrals:
The definite integral introduces 2 limits, the lower limit a and upper limit b:

Hence to summarize the above, Using double angle, factor formulas and trigonometric identities, we have the following: ( ( ) )
The proofs can be derived using implicit differentiation and partial fractions.

We always need to complete the square. Only then can we apply the following: ( )
The proof is done by implicit differentiation. 6.4 Integration of Modulus Functions For the portion of the graph that is negative, we integrate the negative of it. This suggests we must find the x-intercepts of that graph. E.g.:

H2 Mathematics (J1 Only) 6.7 Special Types* 6.8 Finding Area Under Graph
From the above diagram, it is obvious that the area between the graphs is the red portion minus the green portion:
For H2 mathematics, we explore the use of the Riemann Integral in solving area under graph.
Regardless of the way we place the rectangles of width (right, minimum, maximum or left), we obtain the following: As approximation is more accurate as The following is useful for ,
Also, the area between the curve and the y-axis for some interval : 6.9 Integrating Parametric Equations
Sometimes curves are expressed in parametric equations. To solve them, we observe that:

Chapter 7: Vectors
7.1 Definitions Scalars have a magnitude. Vectors however, have magnitude and direction. For this notes, vectors are represented as: Furthermore, this note tries to use minimal diagrams because anything beyond 3D is not really visual anymore. This also forces you to use spatial imagination. 7.2 Properties of Vectors

( ) is therefore: )
Unit vectors (denoted by the ^ above it) [magnitude = 1] of any vector is thus: The parallelogram law of addition (left) demonstrates how to sum 2 vectors, and the polygon law of addition shows how to sum all vectors. Hence, we conclude: Position vectors originate from the origin O. Displacement vectors can be any other vector. They can be equal in magnitude and direction as a position vector. Lastly, for collinear points, we observe that:

7.5 Vector (cross) Product Given that p divides AB is the ratio Conditions for using ratio theorem: a, b and p must all point inwards or outwards there must be a common point From the above diagram, we observe that: ,
My personal opinion is that it is only a shortcut; otherwise it is more or less redundant. 7.4 Scalar (dot) Product For any two vectors and :
Note that n is the perpendicular vector to both a and b. Alternatively, it is computed as follows: ( Here is the acute/obtuse angle formed when both vectors point towards/away from a point. The result is a scalar. Alternatively, we also know that: ( ) ( ) ) ( )
Basically, we ignore the first row for the first row of our product, second row for the second and third row for the third. Important results from cross product:
Given this, we can find the angle between the 2 vectors. For instance, ( ) ( ) The vector product can give us a vector that is perpendicular to both a and b. For instance: ( ) ( )

7.10.2 Angles between intersecting/skew Lines Like what we do when finding angle between vectors, we just need the displacement vectors this time round: This is the scalar product form of a plane. Also, ( ) ( The Cartesian form of a plane is: 7.10.3 Foot of Perpendicular (Point to Line) Like what we do when finding projection vectors, we just need a point on the line: 7.12 Interactions between Lines and Planes )
7.12.2 Angle between Lines and Planes First, we check if line is parallel to plane:
7.10.4 Reflection in line for a point To do this we use the ratio theorem ( Page 24 of 32 ):

9.6 Method of Common Differences* We use the method of common differences to try and deduce the polynomial that generated the sequence. The main idea behind is that:
9.5 Method of Differences If the general term can be expressed as 2 or more terms, then we can use the method of differences: 9.6.1 Sequences generated using Exponentials

Generally, any sequence that adds the previous terms see that their differences go in the reverse order. 9.7 Mathematical Induction A method for proving, it is generalized as follows:
When we observe a common difference, we can stop. Since we have taken differences 3 times to get a constant, we can assume that:
