Mathematical Note for Candidates from Overseas


Decimal Separators
The symbol used to separate the integer part of a decimal from its fractional part
is called the decimal point. In Britain, the decimal point is donated by a period
(eg 31.241). However, in some countries the notation is different. Many
European countries use a comma in place of the decimal point (eg 31,241).
Candidates should be aware of the British system for decimal points and should
note that questions will be set in this style. However, the candidates own answer
may be written in the style that is familiar to them.
