Introduction You have probably been told that mathematics is very useful, yet it can often seem like a lot of techniques that just have to be learnt to answer examination questions. You are now getting to the point where you will start to see how some of these techniques can be applied in solving real problems. However, as well as seeing how maths can be useful we hope that anyone working through this resource will realise that it can also be incredibly frustrating, surprising and ultimately beautiful. The resource is woven around three key themes from the new curriculum. Proof Maths is valued because it trains you to think logically and communicate precisely. At a high level, maths is far less concerned about answers and more about the clear communication of ideas. It is not about being neat – although that might help! It is about creating a coherent argument that other people can easily follow but find difficult to refute. Have you ever tried looking at your own work? If you cannot follow it yourself it is unlikely anybody else will be able to understand it. In maths we communicate using a variety of means – feel free to use combinations of diagrams, words and algebra to aid your argument. And once you have attempted a proof, try presenting it to your peers. Look critically (but positively) at some other people’s attempts. It is only through having your own attempts evaluated and trying to find flaws in other proofs that you will develop sophisticated mathematical thinking. Problem solving Maths is valued because it trains you to look at situations in unusual, creative ways, to persevere and to evaluate solutions along the way. We have been heavily influenced by a great mathematician and maths educator George Polya, who believed that students were not just born with problem-solving skills – they were developed by seeing problems being solved and reflecting on their solutions before trying similar problems. You might not realise it but good mathematicians spend most of their time being stuck. You need to spend some time on problems you can’t do, trying out different possibilities. If after a while you have not cracked it then look at the solution and try a similar problem. Don’t be disheartened if you cannot get it immediately – in fact, the longer you spend puzzling over a problem the more you will learn from the solution. You may never need to integrate a rational function in future, but we firmly believe that the problem-solving skills you will develop by trying it can be applied to many other situations. Modelling Maths is valued because it helps us solve real-world problems. However, maths describes ideal situations and the real world is messy! Modelling is about deciding on the important features needed to describe the essence of a situation and turning that into a mathematical form, then using it to make predictions, compare to reality and possibly improve the model. In many situations the technical maths is actually the easy part – especially with modern technology. Deciding which features of reality to include or ignore and anticipating the consequences of these decisions is the hard part. Yet it is amazing how some fairly drastic assumptions – such as pretending a car is a single point or that people’s votes are independent – can result in models that are surprisingly accurate. More than anything else, this resource is about making links. Links between the different chapters, the topics covered and the themes above, links to other subjects and links to the real world. We hope that you will grow to see maths as one great complex but beautiful web of interlinking ideas. Maths is about so much more than examinations, but we hope that if you take on board these ideas (and do plenty of practice!) you will find maths examinations a much more approachable and possibly even enjoyable experience. However, always remember that the result of what you write down in a few hours by yourself in silence under exam conditions is not the only measure you should consider when judging your mathematical ability – it is only one variable in a much more complicated mathematical model!

Section 1: Recurrence relations, properties of sequences, Fibonacci and related numbers Key point 1.1 A sequence is a list of terms. A series is the sum of the terms. The terms of a sequence may be defined as: recurrence relation , e.g. position-to-term formula, e.g.
. .
Induction may be used to prove results relating to both sequences and series. Behaviour of sequences: Periodic: Terms of the sequence are repeated, e.g.
Oscillating: Convergent:
Divergent: Monotonic:
Particular sequences Fibonacci numbers:
The number of repeated terms is called the period in this example). Periodic with two terms, e.g. (For a sequence) the terms of the sequence get closer to some limiting value; (for a series) the sum to infinity of the terms of the sequence has a finite value. Not convergent and the sum of the sequence is not finite. A sequence is monotonic increasing if each term is larger than or the same value as the previous one, i.e. , and monotonic decreasing if each term is less than or the same value as the previous one, i.e. .
. The ratio of each term to the previous one converges to . is the golden ratio, where

Tip The Fibonacci sequence is a recurrence system (see Key point 1.2) and would normally have a range of the values of , in a similar way that functions have a domain. With functions, when the domain is ‘obviously’ the set of real numbers, the domain is often omitted from the definition. Similarly for recurrence systems, when the range is ‘obviously’ the set of natural numbers then this may be omitted.

Section 2: Solving recurrence relations First-order recurrence relations Key point 1.2 A linear recurrence relation is one in which each term of a sequence is a linear function of a previous term or terms, e.g. . Homogeneous: a first-order recurrence relation is homogeneous if it is of the form . Non-homogeneous: a first-order recurrence relation is non-homogeneous if it is of the form . ( will be polynomial or of the form .) Closed form solution: a solution in position-to-term form, i.e. , is written in terms of and not referring to previous terms. Recurrence system: a system consists of the recurrence relation (e.g. initial condition (e.g. ) and a range of the variable .

Second-order recurrence relations Key point 1.3 A second-order recurrence relation is one in which each term of a sequence is a linear function of two previous terms, e.g. . Homogeneous : a second-order recurrence relation is homogeneous if it is of the form where and are constants Non-homogeneous: a second-order recurrence relation is non-homogeneous if it is of the form . ( will be polynomial or of the form .)

Finally, the general (closed form) solution is

The final solution is found by applying the initial conditions to determine and . When a recurrence relation converges to a fixed value (which is usually zero) it has reached a steady state. This happens if and only if and but may also depend on the value of . [The method is comparable with the one used for solving second-order differential equations.]

.
.
Behaviour of sequences: Periodic is where terms of the sequence are repeated regularly. The number of repeated terms is called the period. Oscillating is periodic with two terms. Convergent is where the terms of the sequence get closer to some limiting value. Divergent is when the sequence is not convergent and the sum of the sequence is not finite. A series is monotonically increasing (or decreasing) when each term is larger or the same value (or smaller or the same value) as the previous one. Fibonacci and Lucas numbers: The Fibonacci recurrence relation is
.
The Fibonacci sequence is The ratio of each term to its previous one converges to the golden ratio . The golden ratio

The Lucas numbers are generated from the recurrence relation . The Lucas sequence is First-order recurrence relations: A first-order linear relation is one in which each term of the sequence is a linear function of a previous term such as

If the operation is also commutative , then the set forms an Abelian group. The order of a group is the number of elements it contains.

The trivial subgroup of is , where is the identity element. The whole of group, itself, is a non-proper subgroup. Proper subgroups are the other subgroups of . If the operation on is associative, then it can be assumed that the operation on any subgroup is also associative. The remaining conditions required on are: must have an identity element , each element of must have an inverse, the inverse of each element in must also be in , and must be closed. Lagrange’s theorem states that the order of a subgroup is a factor of the order of the group i ii iii

An Abelian group is a group for which the operation is commutative, for all An operation is commutative if
.
.
A Cayley table, group table or operation table is a two-way table that gives the results of the operation between each pair of elements. The order of a group is the number of elements it contains. The order of an element is the power to which the element has to be raised to give the identity element. Subgroups: If is a subset of the group and is also a group, then is a subgroup of . The trivial subgroup of is , where is the identity element. The whole of group, itself, is a non-proper subgroup. Other subgroups are proper subgroups. If the operation on is associative, then it can be assumed that the operation on any subgroup is also associative. The order of a subgroup is a factor of the order of group . Cyclic groups: A group of order is cyclic if there is an element in , for which
.
is called the generator. Cyclic groups are commutative. If is prime, then the group is cyclic. Isomorphic groups: If two groups and are isomorphic they have the same form and there is a one-toone correspondence between the elements. Structure of groups: If the order of the group is , then it is
.
If the order of the group is , , or , then the group is cyclic. If the order of the group is , then either the group will be cyclic when at least one element has order or it will be a Klein group when no element has order . If the group has order , then it will be cyclic if one element has order . If no elements have order , it forms a symmetrical group.

Key point 5.3 If is a stationary point on the surface then and at . There are three types of stationary point: local maximum, local minimum and saddle point. At a local maximum, the surface is at its greatest height (like at the top of a hill) in the immediate neighbourhood, and at a local minimum it is at its least height (like the bottom of a valley). A saddle point looks similar to a horse’s saddle, in that in some directions moving away from it the height decreases, whilst in other directions it increases. The nature of a turning point can be determined by means of the sign of the determinant of the matrix of second partial derivatives (the Hessian matrix). The Hessian matrix is defined as i
