Mathematics for the International Student: Mathematics SL has been written to embrace the
syllabus for the two-year Mathematics SL Course, to be first examined in 2014. It is not our
intention to define the course. Teachers are encouraged to use other resources. We have developed
this book independently of the International Baccalaureate Organization (IBO) in consultation with
many experienced teachers of IB Mathematics. The text is not endorsed by the IBO.
In the third edition, chapters are arranged to follow the same order as the chapters in our
, making it easier for teachers who have combined classes of SL
and HL students.
Syllabus references are given at the beginning of each chapter. The new edition reflects the new
Mathematics SL syllabus. More lower level questions have been added at the start of the exercises,
to make them more suitable for a range of ability levels. Discussion topics for the Theory of
Knowledge have been included in this edition. See page 12 for a summary.
In response to the introduction of a calculator-free examination paper, a large number of questions
have been added and categorised as ?calculator? or ?non calculator?. In particular, the final chapter
contains over 160 examination-style questions.
