the official document is incredibly vague and poorly written. in places the PDF 
file is actually corrupted and it is impossible to read certain equations which 
we are to cover.

but, vagueness is the main problem. it reads like it has been written and 
prepared by someone who failed maths, let alone written by a professional maths 
teaching committee.
