Having looked at #ALevelMaths Paper 1 (Edexcel), here are my "best guess" topics video checklist for Paper 2. Word of caution - this is just a "Best guess", any topic that appeared on Paper 1 could still appear! mrmanmaths.wordpress.com/2025/06/04/a-l…


Has anybody produced a #Y13 #ALevel #Maths revision lesson that could be used in class?

The sum of first n odd numbers is equal to n². Classic. Here's a very necessary 🧵that consists of 7 different proofs of this fact. Let's get into it! [1/9]

PROOF of the Birthday Paradox The probability that all 23 individuals have different birthdays is: P_diff = (365/365)*(364/365)*(363/365)*...*(343/365) Thus the probability that at least 2 of them share a birthday is: P_shared = 1 - P_diff ≈ 0.5

The probability that all 23 individuals have different birthdays is:
P_diff = (365/365)*(364/365)*(363/365)*...*(343/365)

Thus the probability that at least 2 of them share a birthday is:
P_shared = 1 - P_diff ≈ 0.5

In the fall of 1972, President Nixon announced that "the rate of increase of inflation was decreasing". Probably the first time a sitting president used the 3rd derivative to increase the chances of reelection.

This identity is called the Sophomore's dream - in contrast to the name "Freshman's dream" which is given to the incorrect identity (x+y)ⁿ=xⁿ+yⁿ, this one has a similar too-good-to-be-true feel, but is true!

A short Python program to estimate π: import random def estimate_pi(n): m = 0 for i in range(n): x = random.uniform(0, 1) y = random.uniform(0, 1) if x*x + y*y <= 1: m += 1 return 4 * m / n
