Have you done any CIE A-levels, out of interest? My school has an odd system where they do Edexcel Maths, but then CIE for every other subject :/ I suppose the CIE maths is considered too difficult

I can't say I have, but I would have loved to do CIE Physics over Edexcel.

Also drop mark on the stupid binomial expansion. Is there any features on your calculate that can help to validify a binomial expansion?

If you want to expand

(1-x)^{-1/2}

say, plug in a (small, so c. 0.1) value of

x

into your binomial to get, for example

(1-0.1)^{-1/2} = 0.9^{-1/2} \approx 1.054

then plug this value of

x

into your expansion for the first 2/3/4 terms and see how close to the actual value it is, usually it should be very close as it converges very fast/polynomially and your (small) value of

x

ensures convergence.

Hi, on the crash Maths website there are only certain papers that I can click onto. For example, I can't access the C3 and C4 Papers for Practice set B and C. Does anyone have access to these papers ? If so please could you share them with me, thanks.

If you can't click on the papers, it means I haven't got round to making them yet. Sorry!

I am trying to make them as quickly as I can, as well as the mark schemes, but they will be done by mid April, before the exams.

Glad you're finding them useful.
