    Does anyone have an exact list of the theorems that need to be learned off for Math's HL?

    So far I have:

    Paper 1
    • Factor Theorem
    • First Principles
    • Induction - De Moivre
    • Induction - Differentiation
    • Proof of Addition/Product rule/Quotient rule (By First Principles)
    • Area of Disc
    • Volume Of Cone
    • Volume Of Sphere
    • Volume of a Cylinder

    Paper 2
    • Trigonometric Identities
    • Sin and Cos Rule

    Don't forget

    Paper 1

    All you have listed
    Volume of a cylinder
    I think they can ask you to find the volume of an irregular solid too but I'm not certain.
    Induction - De moivre & Differentiation proof
    Proof of addition/product rule/quotient rule (by first principles)

    Paper 2

    Cos^2(A) + Sin^2(A)= 1
    Cos(a-b)
    Cos(a+b)
    Sin(a-b)
    Sin(a+b)
    Tan(a+b)
    sine rule
    cosine rule


    I think that's it. I may be wrong as I did them out of my head so correct me if I am! :L

    I hate the proof of the rules by diff.. Can't really get the hang of first principles tbh :rolleyes: Haven't even started to learn the proofs for cone, cylinder etc. Maths hates me :pac:

    Oh i love it! i love all the proofs and paper 1 but the paper 2... oh... that dreaded paper 2!! i wish we had the old course! if you need any help in 1st principles, just pm me!

    Updated the list as a resource for others =) Also if we've missed any let me know

    Also are there any more on Paper 2? Like for Geometry? We haven't even started it in school "/


  • Registered Users Posts: 121 ✭✭rkeano5


    Hey just wondering if there is 3 geometry proofs or 4?

    I had thought all along that there was 3 but at a revision seminar last week the guy repeatedly mentioned the fact that we need to know 4 theorems that could come up in Question 6a on Paper 2.

    Anybody?

    There are 3 I think, but he may have been talking of the "Proof by contradiction" ... That might be the 4th as it comes up in 6A?


  • Registered Users Posts: 789 ✭✭✭FaoiSin


    So can anyone confirm these are the only proofs we need to know?

    and these:

    Theorem 11, 12 and 13
    Proof by Contradiction

    Thanks =) Makes you wonder why the syllabus lists so many if there only gonna examine 3 of them

    Hilarious, mature and relevant. You just hit the holy trinity of posts. 5/5 would read again

    I came across a free android app for viewing junior and leaving cert maths theorems and found it handy enough.
