Resource type Trigonometric functions
The sine, cosine and tangent of an angle are all defined in terms of trigonometry, but they can also be expressed as functions. In this unit we examine these functions and their graphs. We also see how to restrict the domain of each function in order to define an inverse function.

Resource type The sum of an infinite series
In this unit we see how finite and infinite series are obtained from finite and infinite sequences. We explain how the partial sums of an infinite series form a new sequence, and that the limit of this new sequence (if it exists) defines the sum of the series. We also consider two specific examples of infinite series that sum to e and pi respectively.

Resource type Sine, cosine and tangent of an angle of any size
Knowledge of the trigonometric ratios sine, cosine and tangent is vital in many fields of engineering, maths and science. This unit explains how the sine, cosine and tangent of an arbitrarily sized angle can be found.

Resource type Cwrs Gloywi Calcwlws
A Calculus Refresher. This booklet revises techniques in calculus (differentiation and integration). This is a welsh language version
Resource type Limits of sequences
In this unit, we recall what is meant by a simple sequence, and introduce infinite sequences. We explain what it means for two sequences to be the same, and what is meant by the n-th term of a sequence. We also investigate the behaviour of infinite sequences, and see that they might tend to plus or minus infinity, or to a real limit, or behave in some other way.

Resource type Arithmetic and Geometric Progressions
This unit introduces sequences and series, and gives some simple examples of each. It also explores particular types of sequence known as arithmetic progressions (APs) and geometric progressions (GPs), and the corresponding series.

Resource type Integration using a table of anti-derivatives
We may regard integration as the reverse of differentiation. So if we have a table of derivatives, we can read it backwards as a table of anti-derivatives. When we do this, we often need to deal with constants which arise in the process of Differentiation.

Resource type Cartesian components of vectors
Any vector may be expressed in Cartesian components, by using unit vectors in the directions of the coordinate axes. In this unit we describe these unit vectors in two dimensions and in three dimensions, and show how they can be used in calculations. (Mathtutor Video Tutorial).

Resource type Composition of functions
We can build up complicated functions from simple functions by using the process of composition, where the output of one function becomes the input of another. It is also sometimes necessary to carry out the reverse process, decomposing a complicated function into two or more simple functions. This unit explains how.

Resource type Integrating algebraic fractions (2)
Sometimes the integral of an algebraic fraction can be found by first expressing the algebraic fraction as the sum of its partial fractions. In this unit we look at the case where the denominator of the fraction involves an irreducible quadratic expression.

Resource type Finding areas by integration
Integration can be used to calculate areas. In simple cases, the area is given by a single definite integral. But sometimes the integral gives a negative answer which is minus the area, and in more complicated cases the correct answer can be obtained only by splitting the area into several parts and adding or subtracting the appropriate integrals.
