Pancyprian Advanced Math study plan

Pancyprian Advanced Math · Give each week a clear focus.

8 weeks · About 6 hours per week

Week 1

Algebra and Functions

  • Sketch graphs of polynomial, rational, exponential and logarithmic functions from their defining features without a graphing aid

  • Solve inequalities involving absolute values, rational expressions and exponentials, writing solution sets in interval notation

  • State and apply domain/range and inverse-function conditions to decide when an inverse exists

  • Reconstruct the standard transformation rules and justify each graphically

Your checkpoint

A one-page formula and transformation sheet plus 20 solved function/inequality problems, at least 18 correct, with error notes for the rest

Week 2

Algebra and Functions & Calculus: Limits, Continuity and Differentiation

  • Evaluate limits algebraically, including indeterminate forms handled by factoring, rationalizing and conjugates

  • Classify discontinuities and test continuity at a point and on an interval using the three-part definition

  • Apply the intermediate value theorem to justify existence of roots

  • Compute derivatives from the limit definition for polynomial, radical and rational functions

Your checkpoint

A timed 45-minute set of 12 limit/continuity/definition-of-derivative problems scored and corrected, with a written log of every mistake

Week 3

Calculus: Limits, Continuity and Differentiation

  • Differentiate products, quotients, composites and implicit relations fluently

  • Differentiate exponential, logarithmic, trigonometric and inverse-trigonometric functions

  • Solve related-rates problems by setting up the geometric constraint before differentiating

  • Find tangent and normal lines and use linearization to estimate function values

Your checkpoint

A 15-problem mixed differentiation test, including 3 related-rates and 2 implicit problems, completed in 60 minutes with at least 80% accuracy

Week 4

Calculus: Limits, Continuity and Differentiation & Algebra and Functions

  • Locate critical points, inflection points and asymptotes, then produce a complete curve sketch

  • Apply the first and second derivative tests to classify extrema

  • Solve optimization problems with a stated domain and verify endpoints

  • Prove simple inequalities and root-count results using monotonicity

Your checkpoint

Three fully written optimization solutions with justification of global extrema, plus one complete curve sketch with a sign table

Week 5

Calculus: Integration and Applications

  • Compute antiderivatives using substitution, by parts and partial fractions

  • Evaluate definite integrals and apply the fundamental theorem correctly, including sign conventions

  • Set up and evaluate area between curves and volumes of revolution

  • Apply the mean value theorem for integrals and interpret average value

Your checkpoint

A 10-problem integration set, including 2 area and 1 volume problem, with full working, scored to at least 75%

Week 6

Sequences, Series and the Binomial Theorem & Complex Numbers

  • Test series for convergence using comparison, ratio, root and integral tests, stating the condition that justifies each conclusion

  • Expand binomial powers with positive and negative or fractional indices and state the validity range

  • Perform arithmetic in Cartesian, polar and exponential form and convert between them

  • Solve polynomial equations over the complex numbers and apply De Moivre's theorem for roots and powers

Your checkpoint

A two-part test: 8 series/binomial items and 8 complex-number items, 90 minutes total, with a written justification for every convergence verdict

Week 7

Vectors, Analytic Geometry and Conics & Probability and Statistics

  • Solve 3D line and plane problems, including intersections, angles and distances

  • Identify a conic from its equation, find foci, directrices and asymptotes, and sketch it

  • Compute conditional probability and apply the binomial and normal distributions with continuity correction where needed

  • Interpret mean, variance and standard deviation in context and standardize values for normal calculations

Your checkpoint

A 12-problem set covering vectors, conics and probability, with a one-page summary of conic standard forms and probability formulas

Week 8

Algebra and Functions & Calculus: Limits, Continuity and Differentiation & Calculus: Integration and Applications

  • Complete two full-length timed mock papers under exam conditions and self-mark against a rubric

  • Re-derive from memory every formula on the personal sheet and flag the ones that fail

  • Re-solve, without notes, the 15 problems most often missed across weeks 1-7

  • Allocate remaining time by domain weight and rehearse a fixed per-question time budget

Your checkpoint

Two completed mock papers with a scored error analysis and a final one-page revision sheet limited to weak points

Milestones

Week 2: Score at least 80% on the week-2 limit/continuity set and explain verbally why each discontinuity is removable, jump or infinite

Week 4: Produce a full curve sketch and an optimization solution from a blank page in under 25 minutes each, with all extrema justified

Week 6: Correctly justify convergence or divergence for 6 of 8 series and solve 6 of 8 complex-number items, including one nth-root problem

Week 8: Score at least 65% on the first mock and at least 75% on the second, with no domain below 50%
