Edexcel A Level Maths Formula Sheet
This Edexcel A Level maths formula sheet is for the Pearson Edexcel International A Level (IAL) in Mathematics. Pearson gives you the Mathematical Formulae and Statistical Tables booklet in the exam, but the formulas below are not in it: the specification says you are expected to know them, unit by unit.
- 34 formulas
- 5 sections
- Checked 20 October 2026

Not in the formulae booklet: you must know these.
- Quadratic formula, for ax² + bx + c = 0 (a ≠ 0)
- Sine rule
- Area of a triangle
- Arc length (θ in radians)
- Area of a sector (θ in radians)
Pure Mathematics 2 (P2)
P1 formulae are also assumed.
- Laws of logarithms: product
- Laws of logarithms: quotient
- Laws of logarithms: power
