This independent study page provides practice for Concours Advance - independent subject practice. Its editorial learning areas include Calculus; Algebra and Functions; Geometry and Trigonometry; Probability and Statistics; Technical English, scientific claims and engineering communication. The Concours Advance - independent subject practice study guide has 5 sections and about 2,072 words.
01Calculus
Calculus practice develops the ability to move fluently between a function, its rate of change, and its accumulated total. Expect differentiation of composite, implicit and parametric forms, evaluation of definite and improper integrals, and questions that require you to justify a limit before differentiating.
348 words, about 2 min02Algebra and Functions
Algebra and function practice asks you to move fluently between symbolic, graphical, and verbal representations of relationships. Expect manipulation of polynomial, rational, radical, exponential, and logarithmic expressions; solving equations and inequalities; and reasoning about domain, range, inverse functions, and transformations.
462 words, about 2 min03Geometry and Trigonometry
This geometry and trigonometry chapter covers triangle congruence and similarity, circle properties, coordinate geometry, area and volume, and the trigonometric ratios extended to the unit circle. You should be able to prove relationships, apply the sine and cosine laws to non-right triangles, work in radians, and connect trigonometric functions to their graphs and identities.
425 words, about 2 min04Probability and Statistics
Probability and statistics practice develops conditional reasoning, standard distributions, and correct interpretation of inference - the last of which is where most marks are lost. P(A∪B) = P(A) + P(B) − P(A∩B); independence means P(A∩B) = P(A)P(B).
381 words, about 2 min05Technical English, scientific claims and engineering communication
Technical English combines language understanding with the logical structure of a scientific or engineering statement. Identify what a paragraph asserts, the evidence it supplies, the conditions it assumes and the conclusion it actually supports.
