STEP 2 Calculus
This module introduces you to STEP 2 questions which involve Calculus. This STEP 2 module consists of 5 STEP questions, some topic notes and useful formulae, a "hints" sheet and a "solutions" booklet. STEP questions are challenging, so don't worry if you get stuck. These STEP 2 modules assume that you have already begun to develop your problem-solving skills and approach to STEP questions by working on the Foundation modules.
About this assignment
Many STEP 2 questions will expect you to be fluent with A-Level Calculus techniques, even if they do not look like "Calculus questions" at first glance. Using Calculus to find maxima and minima is a particularly widespread technique. There are 5 questions in this assignment: Question 5 is a STEP 1 question which tests the same ideas as Question 4 - you can use this as a warm up for Question 4 if you so wish.
Hints, support and self evaluation
The “Hints" file gives suggestions and some starting points on how you can tackle the questions. The "Solutions" file leads you through one possible solution, but some steps will be missing and you will still need to work through the question yourself.
