About this guide
It fully covers the core topics of the 0606 syllabus: functions, polynomials, trigonometry, differentiation and integration (introductory calculus), vectors and logarithms. Each topic comes with a clear solution method and representative examples.
For strong maths students, it is an ideal tool for getting an early feel for calculus thinking in English, developing internationally standard solution-writing skills and confidently aiming for top marks in the 0606 exam.
What is inside
- Functions, graphs, quadratic functions and methods for solving inequalities
- Polynomials, the remainder and factor theorems, and higher-order equations
- Trigonometry: identities, trigonometric equations and graphs
- Logarithms, exponential functions and their use in solving equations
- Differentiation: rules of differentiation, maxima and minima, and rates of change
- Integration: antiderivatives and the area under a curve
- Vectors and kinematics, permutations and combinations
- Exam-style practice exercises with detailed solutions
Who this guide is for
- Strong maths students taking IGCSE Mathematics 0580 and Additional Mathematics 0606 alongside each other
- Anyone planning to pursue A-Level Mathematics or a STEM pathway
- Self-study learners who want an early introduction to differentiation and integration in English
- Parents wanting to invest in an advanced maths foundation for their child
- Teachers who need exercises graded by difficulty
How to use this guide
- Make sure you have a firm grasp of IGCSE 0580 algebra before starting the advanced chapters
- Study trigonometry and logarithms thoroughly, as they underpin the calculus that follows
- Derive the differentiation and integration formulas yourself instead of memorising them by rote
- Practise setting out your solutions step by step in line with Cambridge marking standards
- Finish all the end-of-chapter exercises before moving on to full past papers
- Time yourself on past papers to get used to the time pressure of Paper 1 and Paper 2
Questions about this guide
How does Additional Mathematics 0606 differ from Mathematics 0580?
0606 is an advanced maths course that adds topics such as differentiation, integration, in-depth trigonometry and logarithms that 0580 does not cover. Students usually take both subjects at the same time.
Do I need 0606 if I want to take A-Level Maths?
It is highly recommended. 0606 introduces calculus thinking early, making the transition to A-Level Mathematics far smoother and easier.
