Sum — Arithmetic
\( S_n = \dfrac{n}{2}(2a + (n-1)d) \)
Compound Interest
\( A = P(1+i)^n \)
Derivative (first principles)
\( f'(x) = \lim_{h\to 0}\dfrac{f(x+h)-f(x)}{h} \)

Process
How It Works
A simple revision flow built for understanding first, then practice, then exam readiness. Every step is free, CAPS-aligned, and designed to help learners turn study time into marks.
1
Choose the Right Topic
Start with the topic page that matches your current weakness so you revise with focus instead of jumping around.
2
Learn the Method Clearly
Read the notes, article, or worked example slowly enough to understand the method before you worry about speed.
3
Practise and Check Yourself
Move into mastery practice and self-testing so the topic becomes exam-ready, not just familiar.
