Flashcards for Edexcel A Level Maths Differentiation, covering the key formulae, methods and definitions you need to recall for Paper 1, Paper 2 and Paper 3. 20 cards drawn from 9.1 Differentiating sin x and cos x, 9.2 Differentiating exponentials and logarithms, 9.3 The Chain Rule, 9.4 The Product Rule, 9.5 The Quotient Rule, 9.6 Differentiating Trigonometric Functions, 9.7 Parametric Differentiation, 9.8 Implicit Differentiation, 9.9 Using Second Derivatives, and 9.10 Rates of Change, matched to the Edexcel A Level Maths (9MA0) specification. Recall questions account for roughly 50% of marks at A Level Maths, so these target the marks you can secure before the paper starts.
