School maths is important, challenging and wide-ranging. It can look like a collection of completely un-related topics, and then at some point they all connect together and rely on each other. It’s often split into Maths, Further Maths and Statistics, with sub-topics and options like Mechanics, Complex Numbers, Decision Maths, and many many others: indeed the syllabus structure for maths is the most complex of all subjects taught at school and takes quite a bit of work to understand – it can make the actual maths look quite easy.
The webpages here present tutoring material, exam papers and my worked solutions, at close-to final year school stage – with various A Level Boards, International Baccalaureate (IB) Higher Level and NZ NCEA standards; and also some material like MADAS and UK Maths Trust papers including the Olympiad competitions.
I don’t claim these are anything special – they’re all available elsewhere on the internet if you know where to look, including the exam boards’ own worked solutions – and I publish them really so that I have access to them as I travel around and talk to various people. But I can at least show here that I’ve engaged – and struggled – with the topics.
Finally I’ll note my solutions here may be correct – I hope most of them are – but they’re certainly not polished final products.
