Part 2 Solving equations: drawing graphs; straight-line or linear functions; quadratic functions; cubic functions; algebraic solution of equations; equations involving fractions; quadratic equations; solution of cubic equations; applications. Part 3 Simultaneous equations and inequalities: simple equations with one variable; pairs of equations; using a set of equations as a model; sets of three or more equations; independent and dependent equations; linear and non-linear equations; inequalities; simultaneous inequalities; applications of inequalities. Part 4 Series: arithmetic progression (AP); sigma notation for summation; sum of terms of an AP; geometric progression (GP) sum of terms of a GP; notation for interest calculations; compound interest. Part 5 Logarithms and exponentials: logarithms and exponents; how logarithms work; rules for combining logarithms; the exponential function and continuous compounding; nominal interest rates and effective interest rates; negative growth; applications.
