Hi A-Level/H2 Math Students

Normal Approximation to the Binomial Distribution

X ~ B (n, p) can be approximated by a normal distribution with μ = np and σ2 = np(1 – p)
i.e. X ~ N (np,np(1- p))approximately if
(i) n is large, such that n > 30 ;
(ii) p is large enough, such that np > 5 and n(1- p) > 5 .

Note that X ~ B(n, p) has a discrete distribution
whereas X ~ N(np,np(1-p)has a continuous distribution.

Therefore, we need to adjust the values of X by using a continuity correction

Normal Approximation to the Poisson Distribution

X ~ Po(λ) can be approximated by a normal distribution with μ = λ and σ2 = λ
i.e. X ~ N(λ,λ) approximately if λ is large (λ > 10).

Note that Po(λ) has a discrete distribution whereas N(λ,λ) has a continuous distribution.
Therefore, we need to adjust the values of X by using a continuity correction

Mathematical Induction

Proof by Induction involves the following steps:

STEP 1: Let Pn be the statement

STEP 2: Prove P1 is true [Note that for some cases,
(By substituting into LHS and RHS of the statement to prove that P1 is true)

STEP 3: Assume Pk is true for a

STEP 4: Prove “ Pk+1 is true also true”

STEP 5: Conclude the proof:
If Pk is true, then Pk+1 is also true
By mathematical induction,Pn is true for x is element Z+

Binomial Expansion Concept

Concept 1 : Partial fractions

Use of partial fractions to provide simplification of expression before expansion.

The partial fractions decomposition can be found in MF15.

Concept 2 : Recognise the difference between the Binomial Theorem & Binomial
Series.

Binomial Theorem formula can only be used for expansion of (a + b)^n , where n is positive integer. The expansion works for any value of a and b

Knowing the range of values where Binomial Series is valid Expansion lxl < 1

The common difference of A is four times the first term of G and the common ratio of G is twice the first term of A. Each term of A is added to the corresponding term of G to form the terms of a third series S. Given that the first two terms of S are 1/2 and 0 respectively, find the value of a.[-1] Please contact Angie @96790479 or Mr Ong @98639633 if you need help in Mathematics

Revision Notes on Recurrence Relation

1. A recurrence relation is an equation that relates the general term of a sequence to one or more of its preceding terms.

For example,

xn+1 = 7 + xn , x1 = 0 ,

un = un−1 + 2 , u1 =1 , and

Fn+2 = Fn + Fn+1 , F1 = F2 =1 are recurrence relations.

These equations have the common property that if one term of the sequence is known, then we can find the next term by recursive substitution of terms. In this way, we can obtain the entire sequence of numbers. The subscript n
gives the position of the terms of the sequence; eg x1 is the first term and x2 the second term etc.

The general term n x of the sequence can take any real value; eg x1 = 0 , x2 =1 and x2 = −0.5 etc.

2. We say that a sequence of numbers xn converges to the limit l if xn ®l as n®¥ where l is a finite number. If no such number l exists, then we say that the sequence diverges.

3. A sequence is said to be increasing if the terms are increasing. Mathematically, this means xn+1 > xn for all n = 1, 2, 3, ….

The general approach in proving that a sequence is increasing is thus to show that xn+1 − xn > 0 for all n = 1, 2, 3, ….

4. A sequence is said to be decreasing if the terms are decreasing. Mathematically, this means xn+1 < xn for all n = 1, 2, 3, …. The general approach in proving that a sequence is decreasing is thus to show that xn+1 − xn < 0 for all n = 1, 2, 3, …. 5. A sequence is said to be constant if all the terms have the same value. Mathematically, this means xn+1 = xn for all n = 1, 2, 3, … Please contact Angie @96790479 or Mr Ong @98639633 if you need help in Mathematics

Introduction
In general, Mathematics is a common pre-requisite for many courses in the university

H1 Mathematics is designed to provide students with a foundation in mathematics and statistics that will support their business or social sciences studies at the university. The syllabus aims to equip students with the skills to analyse and interpret data and to make informed decisions.

H2 Mathematics is designed to prepare students for a range of university courses, including mathematics, sciences and related courses, where a good foundation in mathematics is required. It develops mathematical thinking and reasoning sk9lls that are essential for further learning of mathematics. Through the applications of mathematics, students also develop an appreciation of mathematics and its connections to other disciplines and to the real world.

H2 Further Mathematics is designed for students who are mathematically inclined and who wish to further expand and deepen their knowledge of mathematics and its applications. Students will develop advanced mathematical thinking and reasoning skills and learn a wider range of mathematics methods and tools. This will give a head-start to students who plan to study mathematics or mathematics-related university courses such as science and engineering in the form of a stronger and richer foundation in mathematics. H2 Further Mathematics is to be taken with H2 Mathematics as ‘Double Mathematics.
