1. Functions and Equations | 函数与方程
A function maps each input (x) to exactly one output f(x). The domain is the set of all allowed x-values; the range is the set of all resulting f(x)-values. For a composite function fg(x) = f(g(x)), you must ensure the range of g lies within the domain of f. The inverse function f−1(x) reverses the mapping and its graph is a reflection of y = f(x) in the line y = x.
函数将每个输入(x)映射到唯一的输出 f(x)。定义域是所有允许的 x 值的集合；值域是所有得到的 f(x) 值的集合。对于复合函数 fg(x) = f(g(x))，必须确保 g 的值域落在 f 的定义域内。反函数 f−1(x) 逆转映射，其图像是 y = f(x) 关于直线 y = x 的反射。
Modulus functions, such as |x − 2|, remove any negative sign and produce only non-negative outputs. Solving equations involving modulus often requires considering both the positive and negative cases of the expression inside the modulus.
模函数，例如 |x − 2|，消除负号并只产生非负输出。求解含有模的方程通常需要分别讨论模内部表达式为正和为负的两种情况。
Graphical solutions to equations involve finding intersections of two curves. For example, solving f(x) = 0 can be approached by plotting y = f(x) and observing where it crosses the x-axis; iteration techniques use a rearrangement x = g(x) with a suitable starting value x₀.
方程的图像解法是寻找两条曲线的交点。例如，求解 f(x) = 0 可通过绘制 y = f(x) 并观察它与 x 轴的交点；迭代法利用重新排列的方程 x = g(x)，并从一个合适的初始值 x₀ 出发。
2. Coordinate Geometry and Graphs | 坐标几何与图像
The equation of a straight line can be written in the form y − y₁ = m(x − x₁) where m is the gradient. When two lines are perpendicular, the product of their gradients is −1. The distance between two points (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂) is √[(x₂ − x₁)² + (y₂ − y₁)²].
直线的方程可写成 y − y₁ = m(x − x₁) 的形式，其中 m 是斜率。当两直线垂直时，它们的斜率之积为 −1。两点 (x₁, y₁) 和 (x₂, y₂) 之间的距离为 √[(x₂ − x₁)² + (y₂ − y₁)²]。
A circle with centre (a, b) and radius r has equation (x − a)² + (y − b)² = r². Completing the square allows you to convert a general quadratic equation into this standard form. The discriminant can be used to determine whether a line intersects, touches, or misses a circle.
圆心为 (a, b)、半径为 r 的圆的方程为 (x − a)² + (y − b)² = r²。配方法可将一般的二次方程化为此标准形式。判别式可用来判断一条直线是与圆相交、相切还是相离。
Parametric equations express x and y in terms of a third variable, often t. For example, a parabola might be given by x = at², y = 2at. To find the Cartesian equation, eliminate the parameter t from the two expressions.
参数方程用第三个变量（通常为 t）表示 x 和 y。例如，抛物线可由 x = at², y = 2at 给出。要得到笛卡尔方程，需从两个表达式中消去参数 t。
3. Sequences and Series | 数列与级数
An arithmetic progression has a common difference d: the nth term is a + (n − 1)d, and the sum of the first n terms is Sₙ = n/2 [2a + (n − 1)d]. A geometric progression has a common ratio r: the nth term is arn−1, and the sum of the first n terms is Sₙ = a(1 − rn)/(1 − r) for r ≠ 1.
等差数列有公差 d：第 n 项为 a + (n − 1)d，前 n 项和为 Sₙ = n/2 [2a + (n − 1)d]。等比数列有公比 r：第 n 项为 arn−1，当 r ≠ 1 时前 n 项和为 Sₙ = a(1 − rn)/(1 − r)。
Sigma notation (Σ) compactly expresses a sum. For example, Σk=1n k² = n(n+1)(2n+1)/6. An infinite geometric series converges to a finite sum a/(1 − r) only when |r| < 1; otherwise the series diverges.
西格玛符号 (Σ) 紧致地表示求和。例如，Σk=1n k² = n(n+1)(2n+1)/6。无穷等比级数仅在 |r| < 1 时收敛到有限和 a/(1 − r)；否则级数发散。
4. Trigonometry | 三角学
Angles can be measured in degrees or radians; π rad = 180°. Using radians simplifies differentiation and integration of trigonometric functions. The arc length of a sector is rθ and the area is ½ r²θ, provided θ is in radians.
角度可以用度或弧度度量；π 弧度 = 180°。使用弧度能简化三角函数的微积分运算。扇形的弧长为 rθ，面积为 ½ r²θ，这里 θ 必须用弧度制。
Key identities include sin²θ + cos²θ ≡ 1, tanθ ≡ sinθ/cosθ, and double-angle formulas such as sin 2θ = 2 sinθ cosθ. These are essential for solving trigonometric equations, which often require factorisation or the use of the quadrant rule (CAST diagram).
关键恒等式包括 sin²θ + cos²θ ≡ 1，tanθ ≡ sinθ/cosθ，以及倍角公式如 sin 2θ = 2 sinθ cosθ。这些对解三角方程至关重要，通常需要因式分解或借助象限法则 (CAST 图)。
For equations of the form a cosθ + b sinθ = c, you can rewrite the left side as R cos(θ ± α) or R sin(θ ± α), where R = √(a² + b²) and α is an auxiliary angle found from tanα = b/a.
对于 a cosθ + b sinθ = c 形式的方程，可把左边改写为 R cos(θ ± α) 或 R sin(θ ± α)，其中 R = √(a² + b²)，辅助角 α 由 tanα = b/a 确定。
5. Differentiation | 微分学
The derivative dy/dx measures the instantaneous rate of change of y with respect to x. From first principles, the derivative of xn is nxn−1. For a composite function y = f(g(x)), the chain rule gives dy/dx = f'(g(x)) · g'(x).
导数 dy/dx 度量 y 关于 x 的瞬时变化率。从第一原理出发，xn 的导数为 nxn−1。对于复合函数 y = f(g(x))，链式法则给出 dy/dx = f'(g(x)) · g'(x)。
The product rule states that if y = uv, then dy/dx = u dv/dx + v du/dx. The quotient rule for y = u/v gives dy/dx = (v du/dx − u dv/dx)/v². These rules allow you to differentiate products and quotients of functions efficiently.
乘积法则指出，若 y = uv，则 dy/dx = u dv/dx + v du/dx。对于 y = u/v，商法则给出 dy/dx = (v du/dx − u dv/dx)/v²。利用这些法则可高效地对函数的乘积与商求导。
Applications include finding the gradient of a tangent and normal at a point, and locating stationary points where dy/dx = 0. The second derivative d²y/dx² determines the nature of a stationary point: positive for a minimum, negative for a maximum.
应用包括求一点处切线和法线的斜率，以及寻找导数为零的驻点。二阶导数 d²y/dx² 可以判定驻点的性质：大于零为极小值点，小于零为极大值点。
6. Integration | 积分学
Integration is the reverse process of differentiation. The indefinite integral ∫ xn dx = xn+1/(n+1) + C, for n ≠ −1. Definite integrals evaluate the exact area under a curve between two limits a and b: ∫ab f(x) dx.
积分是微分的逆运算。不定积分 ∫ xn dx = xn+1/(n+1) + C，其中 n ≠ −1。定积分计算曲线在上下限 a 与 b 之间的准确面积：∫ab f(x) dx。
When the function lies below the x-axis, the definite integral gives a negative value; you must split the area into parts and take absolute values to find the total area. Trapezium rule can approximate the area when exact integration is difficult: Area ≈ h/2 [y₀ + 2(y₁ + y₂ + …) + yₙ].
当函数位于 x 轴下方时，定积分给出负值；你必须将区域分段并取绝对值才能得到总面积。当精确积分困难时，可用梯形法则近似面积：Area ≈ h/2 [y₀ + 2(y₁ + y₂ + …) + yₙ]。
Integration by substitution simplifies an integral by replacing a complicated part with a new variable u, so that ∫ f(g(x))g'(x) dx becomes ∫ f(u) du. Integration by parts follows from the product rule: ∫ u dv/dx dx = uv − ∫ v du/dx dx.
换元积分法通过引入新变量 u 将复杂部分替换，使得 ∫ f(g(x))g'(x) dx 变为 ∫ f(u) du。分部积分法由乘积法则导出：∫ u dv/dx dx = uv − ∫ v du/dx dx。
7. Vectors | 向量
A vector has both magnitude and direction. It can be written in component form as a1i + a2j + a3k. The magnitude of vector a is |a| = √(a1² + a2² + a3²). The scalar (dot) product a·b = |a||b| cosθ, which is zero when the vectors are perpendicular.
向量既有大小又有方向。它可以用分量形式表示为 a1i + a2j + a3k。向量 a 的模为 |a| = √(a1² + a2² + a3²)。标量积（点积）a·b = |a||b| cosθ，当两向量垂直时标量积为零。
The vector equation of a line can be written as r = a + tb, where a is a point on the line and b is the direction vector. The angle between two lines is the angle between their direction vectors, found using the dot product.
直线的向量方程可写为 r = a + tb，其中 a 是线上一点，b 是方向向量。两条直线的夹角即为其方向向量的夹角，可利用点积求得。
For further mechanics or pure topics, the cross product a × b produces a vector perpendicular to both a and b, with magnitude |a||b| sinθ. This is useful when calculating moments or areas of parallelograms.
在进阶力学或纯数主题中，叉积 a × b 产生一个同时垂直于 a 与 b 的向量，大小为 |a||b| sinθ。这在计算力矩或平行四边形面积时非常有用。
8. Mechanics: Kinematics and Forces | 力学：运动学与力
Kinematics describes motion without considering forces. For constant acceleration a, the SUVAT equations link displacement s, initial velocity u, final velocity v, acceleration a, and time t: v = u + at; s = ut + ½ at²; v² = u² + 2as; s = ½ (u + v)t.
运动学描述运动而不考虑力。对于匀加速度 a，SUVAT 方程将位移 s、初速度 u、末速度 v、加速度 a 和时间 t 联系起来：v = u + at；s = ut + ½ at²；v² = u² + 2as；s = ½ (u + v)t。
Newton’s second law states that the resultant force F = ma, where m is mass and a is acceleration. When forces are in equilibrium, the vector sum of all forces is zero. Resolving forces into perpendicular components is essential for solving problems on inclined planes.
牛顿第二定律指出，合力 F = ma，其中 m 为质量，a 为加速度。当力处于平衡时，所有力的矢量和为零。将力分解为互相垂直的分量对于解决斜面上的问题至关重要。
Friction opposes motion and its maximum value is given by F = μR, where μ is the coefficient of friction and R is the normal reaction. Connected particles problems involve separate free-body diagrams and applying F = ma to each mass, while accounting for the tension in the string.
摩擦力阻碍运动，其最大值为 F = μR，其中 μ 是摩擦系数，R 是法向反作用力。连接体问题需要画出单个物体的受力图，并对每个质量应用 F = ma，同时考虑绳中的张力。
9. Statistics: Probability and Discrete Random Variables | 统计：概率与离散随机变量
The probability of an event A is 0 ≤ P(A) ≤ 1. For mutually exclusive events, P(A ∪ B) = P(A) + P(B). For independent events, P(A ∩ B) = P(A) × P(B). Conditional probability is given by P(A|B) = P(A ∩ B)/P(B).
事件 A 的概率为 0 ≤ P(A) ≤ 1。对于互斥事件，P(A ∪ B) = P(A) + P(B)。对于独立事件，P(A ∩ B) = P(A) × P(B)。条件概率由 P(A|B) = P(A ∩ B)/P(B) 给出。
A discrete random variable X takes distinct values xᵢ with probabilities pᵢ. The expected value E(X) = Σ xᵢ pᵢ, and the variance Var(X) = E(X²) − [E(X)]². The binomial distribution X ~ B(n, p) models the number of successes in n independent trials each with probability p. P(X = k) = nCk pk (1 − p)n−k.
离散随机变量 X 以概率 pᵢ 取相异的值 xᵢ。期望值 E(X) = Σ xᵢ pᵢ，方差 Var(X) = E(X²) − [E(X)]²。二项分布 X ~ B(n, p) 模拟 n 次独立试验中成功的次数，每次成功概率为 p。P(X = k) = nCk pk (1 − p)n−k。
Using a probability distribution table, you can calculate cumulative probabilities and solve problems involving ‘at least’, ‘at most’, or ‘between’ a certain number of successes.
利用概率分布表，你可以计算累积概率，并解决涉及“至少”、“至多”或“介于”一定成功次数的问题。
10. Statistics: Normal Distribution and Hypothesis Testing | 统计：正态分布与假设检验
The normal distribution X ~ N(μ, σ²) is a continuous bell-shaped curve. The standard normal variable Z = (X − μ)/σ ~ N(0, 1) allows you to use standard tables. The area under the curve within ±1σ of the mean is about 68%, and within ±2σ about 95%.
正态分布 X ~ N(μ, σ²) 是连续的钟形曲线。标准正态变量 Z = (X − μ)/σ ~ N(0, 1) 使得你能使用标准正态表。曲线下均值 ±1σ 范围内的面积约为 68%，±2σ 内约为 95%。
Hypothesis testing begins with a null hypothesis H₀ and an alternative hypothesis H₁. The significance level (e.g. 5%) determines the critical region. If the test statistic falls inside the critical region, or if the p-value is less than the significance level, we reject H₀.
假设检验从原假设 H₀ 和备择假设 H₁ 开始。显著性水平（如 5%）决定了拒绝域。若检验统计量落入拒绝域，或 p 值小于显著性水平，则拒绝 H₀。
For the binomial, exact critical regions can be found using cumulative tables. For the normal, you compare the calculated z-value with the critical z-value from tables. Always state your conclusion in the context of the problem, using non-technical language.
对于二项分布，可利用累积表找出精确的拒绝域。对于正态分布，将计算出的 z 值与表中的临界 z 值进行比较。最后一定要结合问题背景，用非技术性语言陈述你的结论。
