Mathematics for the International Student: Mathematics HL (Core)

Mathematics for the International Student: Mathematics HL has been written to embrace the syllabus for the two-year Mathematics HL Course, to be first examined in 2014. It is not our intention to define the course. Teachers are encouraged to use other resources. We have developed this book independently of the International Baccalaureate Organization (IBO) in consultation with many experienced teachers of IB Mathematics. The text is not endorsed by the IBO. Syllabus references are given at the beginning of each chapter. The new edition reflects the new Mathematics HL syllabus. Discussion topics for the Theory of Knowledge have been included in this edition. See page 12 for a summary. In response to the introduction of a calculator-free examination paper, the review sets at the end of each chapter have been categorised as ’calculator’ or ’non-calculator’. Also, the final chapter contains over 200 examination-style questions, categorised as ’calculator’ or ’non-calculator’. These questions should provide more difficult challenges for advanced students.
