1. Complex Numbers and de Moivre’s Theorem | 复数与棣莫弗定理
Questions on complex numbers are a staple of this paper. They frequently require using de Moivre’s theorem to derive trigonometric identities, such as expressing cos 5θ in terms of powers of cos θ, or finding all the complex roots of an equation like zⁿ = 1. In the 2019 specimen, a problem might ask students to expand (cos θ + i sin θ)⁵ by the binomial theorem, separate real and imaginary parts, and equate cos 5θ to an expression in cos θ and sin θ. Accuracy with powers of i and binomial coefficients is essential.
复数是必考内容。题目常要求运用棣莫弗定理推导三角恒等式，例如用 cos θ 的幂表示 cos 5θ，或求解 zⁿ = 1 的所有复数根。在 2019 样卷中，可能出现要求学生用二项式定理展开 (cos θ + i sin θ)⁵，分离实部与虚部，并将 cos 5θ 表示为 cos θ 与 sin θ 的多项式。准确处理 i 的幂次和二项式系数至关重要。
Another typical question asks for the nth roots of a complex number given in polar form, then plotting them on an Argand diagram. Students must recognise that the roots form a regular polygon and that their sum is zero. The paper may also test the relationship between the coefficients of a polynomial with real coefficients and its complex conjugate roots.
另一常见题型是求给定极坐标形式复数的 n 次方根，并在阿甘特图上绘制。学生要认识到这些根构成正多边形，且和为零。试卷还可能考查实系数多项式的系数与其共轭复数根的关系。

Key strategy: Write the complex number as r(cos θ + i sin θ) and apply de Moivre’s theorem with fractional powers. For identities, equate real and imaginary parts. Always check the principal argument for root plotting.
关键策略：将复数写成 r(cos θ + i sin θ) 形式，用分数指数应用棣莫弗定理。推导恒等式时，比较实部和虚部。绘制根时注意主辐角。
2. Matrix Eigenvalues and Eigenvectors | 矩阵的特征值与特征向量
The specimen paper includes problems involving 2×2 or 3×3 matrices where students are asked to find eigenvalues and corresponding eigenvectors. A common follow‑up is to diagonalise the matrix and use this to calculate powers of the matrix or to solve a system of coupled differential equations. In the 2019 specimen, you might see a task: given matrix M, find an invertible matrix P and a diagonal matrix D such that M = PDP⁻¹, then find Mⁿ.
样卷中包含 2×2 或 3×3 矩阵问题，要求学生求特征值和对应的特征向量。常见的后续任务是将矩阵对角化，并利用对角化计算矩阵的幂或求解耦合微分方程组。在 2019 样卷中，可能出现：给定矩阵 M，求可逆矩阵 P 和对角矩阵 D 使 M = PDP⁻¹，进而求 Mⁿ。
Students must be proficient in solving the characteristic equation det(M − λI) = 0 and then solving (M − λI)v = 0 for each eigenvalue. The paper often disguises applications, such as modelling population growth or spring‑mass systems, where the eigenvalues determine stability or modal frequencies.
学生需熟练求解特征方程 det(M − λI) = 0，然后解每个特征值对应的齐次方程 (M − λI)v = 0。试卷常将应用包装成种群增长模型或弹簧-质量系统，其中特征值决定稳定性或模态频率。
| Step | English | 中文 |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Form characteristic equation det(M − λI)=0 | 构建特征方程 det(M − λI)=0 |
| 2 | Solve for eigenvalues λ | 求解特征值 λ |
| 3 | For each λ, find eigenvectors by solving (M−λI)v=0 | 对每个 λ，解 (M−λI)v=0 求特征向量 |
| 4 | Construct P from eigenvectors, D from eigenvalues | 用特征向量构建 P，特征值构建对角阵 D |
3. Vectors, Lines and Planes | 向量、直线与平面
Vector geometry questions in FM03 test the ability to find equations of lines in 3D (given a point and a direction vector) and planes (using scalar product form). The specimen paper might ask for the intersection of a line and a plane, or the shortest distance from a point to a plane. A typical problem: find the perpendicular distance from point P to the plane r·n = d, which uses the formula |(OP·n) − d|/|n|.
FM03 的向量几何题考查在三维空间中求直线方程（给定点和方向向量）和平面方程（数量积形式）的能力。样卷可能要求求直线与平面的交点，或点到平面的最短距离。典型问题：求点 P 到平面 r·n = d 的垂直距离，使用公式 |(OP·n) − d|/|n|。
Students also need to handle vector equations for intersections of two planes, giving a line, and to verify whether three points are collinear or four points are coplanar. The 2019 specimen includes a problem that requires converting Cartesian plane equations into vector form and finding the angle between two planes using the dot product of normals.
学生还需处理两平面相交求直线的问题，以及验证三点共线、四点共面。2019 样卷包含将平面直角方程转换为向量形式，并运用法向量的点积求两平面夹角的题。
Shortest distance = |(a − p)·n| / |n|
最短距离 = |(a − p)·n| / |n|
4. Hyperbolic Functions and Identities | 双曲函数与恒等式
Hyperbolic functions (sinh x, cosh x, tanh x) appear in differentiation, integration, and equation solving. The specimen paper tests fundamental identities such as cosh²x − sinh²x = 1, and their use in solving equations like 2 sinh x + 3 cosh x = 5. Often students must express answers in exact logarithmic form using inverse hyperbolic functions, for example, solving sinh x = 2 gives x = ln(2 + √5).
双曲函数（sinh x, cosh x, tanh x）出现在微分、积分和解方程中。样卷考查基本恒等式如 cosh²x − sinh²x = 1，并用于解方程如 2 sinh x + 3 cosh x = 5。学生常需用反双曲函数表达精确的对数形式答案，例如解 sinh x = 2 得 x = ln(2 + √5)。
Integration problems might involve hyperbolic substitutions, analogous to trigonometric substitutions but with different sign patterns. For instance, a √(x²−a²) integral can be tackled by letting x = a cosh u. The 2019 specimen also requires differentiating and integrating hyperbolic functions, recalling that d/dx (cosh x) = sinh x and ∫ tanh x dx = ln(cosh x).
积分题可能涉及双曲代换，类似于三角代换但符号模式不同。例如，√(x²−a²) 类型的积分可令 x = a cosh u。2019 样卷还要求对双曲函数求导和积分，牢记 d/dx (cosh x) = sinh x 及 ∫ tanh x dx = ln(cosh x)。
| Hyperbolic Identity | Equivalent Trigonometric |
|---|---|
| cosh²x − sinh²x = 1 | cos²x + sin²x = 1 (sign differs) |
| sinh 2x = 2 sinh x cosh x | sin 2x = 2 sin x cos x |
| cosh 2x = cosh²x + sinh²x | cos 2x = cos²x − sin²x |
5. Polar Coordinates and Area Calculation | 极坐标与面积计算
In the polar coordinates section, students are given curves like r = a(1 + cos θ) (cardioid) or r = a sin 3θ (rose curve). The specimen paper requires sketching these curves, identifying symmetry and points where r = 0. The main quantitative task is finding the area enclosed by one loop or the total area using the formula Area = ½ ∫ r² dθ with correct limits.
极坐标部分，学生需处理曲线如 r = a(1 + cos θ)（心形线）或 r = a sin 3θ（玫瑰线）。样卷要求绘制这些曲线，识别对称性和 r = 0 的点。主要计算任务是利用面积公式 Area = ½ ∫ r² dθ 并选取正确积分限求单瓣面积或总面积。
Setting up the integral correctly is crucial: a cardioid may need limits from 0 to 2π, while a rose curve requires limits for one loop, e.g., from 0 to π/3 for r = sin 3θ. The 2019 specimen might also test the area between two polar curves, requiring a subtraction of squared radii before integration. Additionally, questions on arc length or surface area of revolution in polar coordinates can appear.
正确建立积分是关键：心形线可能需积分限 0 至 2π，而玫瑰线单瓣如 r = sin 3θ 需 0 至 π/3。2019 样卷还可能考查两条极坐标曲线间的面积，需先将半径平方相减再积分。此外，极坐标下的弧长或旋转体表面积问题也可能出现。
A = ½ ∫αβ r² dθ
A = ½ ∫αβ r² dθ
6. First and Second Order Differential Equations | 一阶与二阶微分方程
The specimen paper routinely includes first-order linear ODEs solvable by an integrating factor, and second-order linear ODEs with constant coefficients. For a first-order equation dy/dx + P(x)y = Q(x), the integrating factor is e^∫P dx. A worked example might involve finding the general solution and then applying an initial condition.
样卷定期考查用积分因子求解的一阶线性常微分方程，以及常系数二阶线性常微分方程。对于一阶方程 dy/dx + P(x)y = Q(x)，积分因子为 e^∫P dx。例题可能要求通解并代入初始条件。
Second-order equations of the form a d²y/dx² + b dy/dx + c y = f(x) require finding the complementary function (from the auxiliary equation) and a particular integral. The specimen paper expects students to handle f(x) as a polynomial, exponential, or trigonometric function, using trial functions. For example, if f(x) = 5e²x, the particular integral is of the form y = Ae²x; if f(x) = cos 3x, try y = A cos 3x + B sin 3x. Resonance cases, where the trial function overlaps with the complementary function, demand multiplying by x.
形如 a d²y/dx² + b dy/dx + c y = f(x) 的二阶方程需先求余函数（由辅助方程得出）再求特解。样卷要求学生处理 f(x) 为多项式、指数函数或三角函数的情况，使用试探函数。例如若 f(x) = 5e²x，特解形式为 y = Ae²x；若 f(x) = cos 3x，尝试 y = A cos 3x + B sin 3x。当试探函数与余函数重叠时（共振情况），需要乘以 x。
Complementary function from am² + bm + c = 0
辅助方程 am² + bm + c = 0 求余函数
7. Maclaurin and Taylor Series | 麦克劳林与泰勒级数
Expansion of functions as power series is a key topic. The specimen paper asks for Maclaurin series (a Taylor series about x = 0) up to a specified term, e.g., x⁴. Standard expansions include eˣ = 1 + x + x²/2! + …, sin x = x − x³/3! + …, ln(1+x) = x − x²/2 + x³/3 − … . Students must also differentiate to find series for composite functions, like ln(1 + sin x), by using known series or direct differentiation.
函数展开为幂级数是重点。样卷要求求麦克劳林级数（在 x = 0 处的泰勒级数）至指定项，如 x⁴。标准展开包括 eˣ = 1 + x + x²/2! + …、sin x = x − x³/3! + …、ln(1+x) = x − x²/2 + x³/3 − …。学生还需通过求导或利用已知级数求复合函数的级数，如 ln(1 + sin x)。
Applications include evaluating limits that are indeterminate, such as lim(x→0) (sin x − x)/x³. Replacing sin x with its series yields −x³/6 + O(x⁵), so the limit becomes −1/6. The 2019 specimen also links series expansions with differential equations, for instance, iteratively differentiating to find coefficients.
应用包括求未定式极限，如 lim(x→0) (sin x − x)/x³。用 sin x 的级数替换得 −x³/6 + O(x⁵)，因此极限为 −1/6。2019 样卷还将级数展开与微分方程联系，例如通过逐次求导求系数。
f(x) = f(0) + f ‘(0)x + f ”(0)x²/2! + …
f(x) = f(0) + f ‘(0)x + f ”(0)x²
