Introduction
Excellence in education
Our mission is to deliver world-class international education through the provision of high-quality curricula,
assessment and services.
More than 9000 schools are part of our Cambridge learning community. We support teachers in over 160
countries who offer their learners an international education based on our curricula and leading to our
qualifications. Every year, thousands of learners use Cambridge qualifications to gain places at universities
around the world.
Our syllabuses are reviewed and updated regularly so that they reflect the latest thinking of international
experts and practitioners and take account of the different national contexts in which they are taught.
Cambridge programmes and qualifications are designed to support learners in becoming:
confident in working with information and ideas their own and those of others
Introduction
the extension of mathematical skills and their use in more advanced techniques
Introduction
Students may also study for a Cambridge O Level in Mathematics and in Statistics. In addition to Cambridge
O Levels, Cambridge also offers Cambridge IGCSE and Cambridge International AS and A Levels for further
study in Mathematics as well as other maths-related subjects. See www.cie.org.uk for a full list of the
qualifications you can take.
Prior learning
We recommend that candidates who are beginning this course should be currently studying or have
previously studied Cambridge O Level or Cambridge IGCSE Mathematics.
Progression
Cambridge O Level Certificates are general qualifications that enable candidates to progress either directly
to employment, or to proceed to further qualifications.
Candidates who are awarded grades C to A* in Cambridge O Level Additional Mathematics are well
prepared to follow courses leading to Cambridge International AS and A Level Mathematics, or the
equivalent.

2.3 Training
We offer a range of support activities for teachers to ensure they have the relevant knowledge and skills to
deliver our qualifications. See www.cie.org.uk/events for further information.

Calculators
The syllabus assumes that candidates will be in possession of a silent electronic calculator with scientific
functions for both papers. The General Regulations concerning the use of electronic calculators are
contained in the Cambridge Handbook.
Mathematical Instruments
Apart from the usual mathematical instruments, candidates may use flexicurves in this examination.
Mathematical Notation
Attention is drawn to the list of mathematical notation at the end of this booklet.
Availability
This syllabus is examined in the June and November examination series.
This syllabus is available to private candidates.
Detailed timetables are available from www.cie.org.uk/examsofficers
Cambridge O Levels are available to Centres in Administrative Zones 3, 4 and 5. Centres in Administrative
Zones 1, 2 or 6 wishing to enter candidates for Cambridge O Level examinations should contact Cambridge
Customer Services.
Please note that Cambridge O Level, Cambridge IGCSE and Cambridge International Level 1/Level 2
Certificate syllabuses are at the same level.

Syllabus content
Knowledge of the content of Cambridges Ordinary level Syllabus D (or an equivalent Syllabus) is assumed.
Cambridge O Level material which is not repeated in the syllabus below will not be tested directly but it may
be required in response to questions on other topics.
Proofs of results will not be required unless specifically mentioned in the syllabus.
Candidates will be expected to be familiar with the scientific notation for the expression of compound units,
e.g. 5 ms1 for 5 metres per second.

Entry codes
To maintain the security of our examinations, we produce question papers for different areas of the world,
known as administrative zones. Where the component entry code has two digits, the first digit is the
component number given in the syllabus. The second digit is the location code, specific to an administrative
zone. Information about entry codes can be found in the Cambridge Guide to Making Entries.
