On the one hand, itis a facilitating subject: there are many university courses that either require an A Level or equivalent qualification in mathematics or prefer applicants who have it, On the other hand, it will help you to learn to think more precisely and logically, while also encouraging ereativity. Doing mathematics can be like doing att: just as an artist needs to master her tools (use of the paintbrush, for example) and understand theoretical ideas (perspective, colour wheels and so on), so does a mathematician (using tools such as algebra and calculus, which you will learn about in this course). But this is only the technical side: the joy in art comes through creativity, when the artist uses her tools. to express ideas in novel ways. Mathematics is very similar: the tools are needed, but the deep joy in the subject comes through solving problems. You might wonder what a mathematical ‘problem is. This isa very good question, and many people have offered different answers. You might like to write down your own thoughts on this question, and reflect on how they change as you progress through this course, One possible idea is that a mathematical problem is a mathematical question that you do not immediately know how to answer. (If you do know how to answer it immediately, then Wwe might call itan ‘exercise’ instead ) Such a problem will take time to answer: you may have to try different approaches, using different tools or ideas, on your own or with others, until you finally discover a way into it, This may take minutes, hours, days or weeks to achieve, and your sense of achievement may well grow with the effort it has taken In addition to the mathematical tools that you will learn in this course, the problem-solving skills that you will develop will also help you throughout life, whatever you end up doing. It is very common to be faced with problems, be it in science, engineering, mathematics, accountancy, law or beyond, and having the confidence to systematically work your way through them will be very usef This seties of Cambridge International AS & A Level Mathematics coursebooks, written for the Cambridge Assessment International Education syllabus for examination from 2020, will support you both to learn the mathematics required for these examinations and to develop your mathematical problem-solving skills. The new examinations may well include more unfamiliar questions than in the past, and having these skills will allow you to approach such questions with curiosity and confidence. In addition to problem solvins there are two other key concepts that Cambridge Assessment International Education have introduced in this syllabus: namely communicatic fhematical modelling. These appear n various forms throughout the coursebooks. Communication in speech, writing and drawing lies at the heart of what itis to be human, and this is no less true in mathematics. While there is a temptation to think of mathematics as only existing in a dry, written form in textbooks, nothing could be further from the truth: mathematical communication comes in many forms, and discussing mathematical ideas with colleagues is a major part of every mathematician’s working life. As you study this course, you will work on many problems. Exploring them or struggling with them together with a classmate Will help you both to develop your understanding and thinking, as well as improving your (mathematical) communication skills. And being able to convince someone that your reasoning is correct, initially verbally and then in writing, forms the heart of the mathematical skill of proof’eet aca ac Mathematical modelling is where mathematics meets the ‘real world’, There are many situations where people need to make predictions or to understand what is happening in the world, and mathematics frequently provides tools to assist with this, Mathematicians will look at the real world situation and attempt to capture the key aspects of it in the form of equations, thereby building « model of reality. They will use this model to make predictions, and where possible test these against reality. I'necessary, they will then attempt to improve the model in order to make better predictions. Examples include weather prediction and climate change modelling, forensic science (to understand what happened at an accident or erime scene), modelling population change in the human, animal and plant kingdoms, modelling aircraft and ship behaviour, modelling financial markets and many others. In this course, we will be developing tools which are vital for modelling many of these situations. To support you in your learning, these coursebooks have a variety of new features, for example: Explore activities: These activities are designed to offer problems for classroom use. They require thought and Geliberation: some introduce a new idea, others will extend your thinking, while others ean support consolidation, “The activities are often best approached by working in small groups and then shating your ideas with each other ‘and the class, as they are not generally routine in nature. This is one of the ways in which you can develop problem- solving skills and confidence in handling unfamiliar questions, Questions labelled as @, @ or @: These are questions with a particular emphasis on ‘Proof’, ‘Modelling’ or *Problem solving’. They are designed to support you in preparing for the new style of examination. They may or ‘may not be harder than other questions in the exercise. I The language of the explanatory sections makes much more use of the words ‘we’, ‘us’ and ‘our’ than in previous coursebook. This language invites and encourages you to be an active participant rather than an observer, simply following instructions ‘you do this, then you do that’). [tis also the way that professional mathematicians usually ‘write about mathematics. The new examinations may well present you with unfamiliar questions, and if you are used to being active in your mathematics, you will stand a better chance of being able to suecessflly handle such challenges. At various points in the books, there are also web links to relevant Underground Mathematies resources, ‘which can be found on the free undergroundmathematies.org website. Underground Mathematics has the aim of producing engaging, rich materials for all students of Cambridge International AS & A Level Mathematies and similar qualifications. These high-quality resources have the potential to simultaneously develop your ‘mathematical thinking skills and your fluency in techniques, so we do encourage you to make good use of them We wish you every success as you embark on this course.
