So you want to learn Pure Maths...
Follow the links below to the topic you are interested in, or explore the full range in the textbooks in the bottom section.
New textbooks:
The following textbooks are based on the pure content for A Level Maths in the new specification. The Year 1 pure content is covered in Pure 1, with the Year 2 pure content being covered in Pure 2. You can find short answers at the end of each document, plus full worked solutions in the SolutionBanks below. Enjoy!
Old textbooks:
The following textbooks are based on the pure content in the old specification. They will provide a good starting point for extra worked examples and practice questions, but be aware that there is not a perfect crossover with the new specification! Read the specification on the course page or check with your teacher if you are unsure which topics you should be revising.
Note: The majority of the Year 1 pure material will be found in the Core 1 and 2 textbooks, with the majority of the Year 2 pure material found in the Core 3 and 4 textbooks.
Calculator guide:
The calculator guide videos for pure mathematics can be found here. [Note: Some of the videos relate to the FX-CG50 - a graphical display calculator - which is not a required purchase for this course.]
