This has been helpful for me to put up on the walls of my classroom, as well as just to give to the students individually. The content is all there, with examples included in the topics that are less dense than others.
I hope these are useful! Please follow and/or message me if you have any suggestions/requests/errors spotted. And please review if you have time!

Handwritten notes that I made for my HL students on the Calculus Option (topic 9) in the IB. These are 23 pages of concise, rich notes, that clarify some of the more complicated aspects of this topic such as Rolle’s theorem or homogeneous differential equations. I use these to inform my teaching, to tell me what I need to cover next, as well as giving the notes to my students so that they can listen properly instead of frantically copying things down from the board. Subtopics:
9.1 - Limits, Squeeze Thm., L’Hôpital’s Rule, Improper Integrals
9.2 - Series and Convergence tests
9.3 - Power Series, Taylor/Maclaurin Series, Error Bounds

This free resource has handwritten notes for the first topic of the new Analysis and Approaches SL course, for first exams in 2020. The HL course will contain this content, with some additional Algebra subtopics. There will also be significant overlap with the A&I Topic 1. I wrote and sold notes for the current IB courses, which have been fairly successful, so I am in the process of writing notes for the new courses, from scratch.
My hope is that you will have a look at this free download, and if it seems like it would be helpful, please ‘follow’ my shop, so you will be notified when the remainder of the notes become available over the next few months. Please let me know if you have any feedback or improvements that could be made.
