Checked before it is published

• Cross-checked. Every fact and formula is checked against the Cambridge syllabus and at least one further authoritative source.

• Diagrams verified. Each diagram is checked against the syllabus and past-paper conventions before the chapter is finalised.

• Layout tested. An automated page check runs first, then a manual walkthrough of every page.

• Our own words. Every explanation is written from scratch, never adapted from other revision notes.
