P3 January 2003 Mark Scheme

This document provides the provisional mark scheme for the Edexcel Pure Mathematics P3 exam from January 2003. It outlines the questions, schemes for marking answers, and maximum marks awarded for each part of each question. For question 1, part a asks students to express a fraction as the sum of two fractions and find the values of A and B. Part b asks students to find the derivative of a function. Question 2 involves finding equations of circles and using Pythagoras' theorem. Later questions cover topics like Maclaurin series, vectors, differential equations, and trigonometric functions.
