Sequences and Series

Sequences and series appear throughout A-Level and AP Precalculus, and this deck of 20 flashcards covers both the arithmetic and geometric cases in full. You'll learn the nth-term and sum formulas for arithmetic sequences, then the equivalent formulas for geometric sequences, including the special case of an infinite geometric series and the condition for it to converge. The deck also introduces sigma notation, recursive versus explicit formulas, and named sequences including Fibonacci and harmonic sequences, finishing with an introduction to convergence and divergence testing using the ratio test. A dedicated card explains why the harmonic series diverges despite its terms shrinking toward zero — a classic exam trick question. These flashcards pair each formula with a plain-English explanation, helping you understand not just how to calculate a sum but why the underlying pattern works.

Complex Numbers

Complex numbers extend the number system beyond the real numbers, and this deck of 18 flashcards builds up from the basics to more advanced applications. You'll start with the imaginary unit and basic arithmetic — addition, multiplication and division of complex numbers — then learn about the complex conjugate, modulus and argument. The deck introduces the Argand diagram for visualising complex numbers geometrically, before moving into polar and exponential form and De Moivre's theorem for raising complex numbers to a power. It finishes with how complex roots arise from quadratics with negative discriminants, the fundamental theorem of algebra, and real-world applications in electrical engineering and quantum mechanics. Suited to A-Level Further Maths and AP Precalculus, this deck is especially useful for students who find the geometric interpretation of complex numbers clicks better than the pure algebra alone.

Coordinate Geometry and Conic Sections

Coordinate geometry connects algebra and geometry, and this deck of 20 flashcards covers everything from basic line formulas through to the full family of conic sections. You'll start with the distance and midpoint formulas and the rules for parallel and perpendicular gradients, then move into the equation of a circle before tackling parabolas, ellipses and hyperbolas in their standard forms. The deck explains what defines each conic geometrically — for example, how an ellipse is defined by the sum of distances to two foci — along with eccentricity, which tells you how "stretched" a conic is. It finishes with practical skills like finding line-circle intersections and converting a quadratic to vertex form. Suited to A-Level and AP Precalculus, this deck is especially useful for connecting the algebraic equations to the shapes they represent, which is where many students lose marks in exams.
