1. Complex Numbers | 复数
A complex number is written as z = a + bi, where i² = −1. The real part is a and the imaginary part is b. The complex conjugate is z̄ = a − bi. The modulus is |z| = √(a² + b²) and the argument is arg(z) = arctan(b/a), adjusted for the correct quadrant.
复数可表示为 z = a + bi，其中 i² = −1。实部为 a，虚部为 b。共轭复数记为 z̄ = a − bi。模长为 |z| = √(a² + b²)，辐角为 arg(z) = arctan(b/a)，并需根据象限调整。
Multiplication and division in polar form: if z₁ = r₁(cos θ₁ + i sin θ₁) and z₂ = r₂(cos θ₂ + i sin θ₂), then z₁z₂ = r₁r₂(cos(θ₁+θ₂) + i sin(θ₁+θ₂)). De Moivre’s theorem: (cos θ + i sin θ)ⁿ = cos(nθ) + i sin(nθ).
极坐标形式下的乘法与除法：若 z₁ = r₁(cos θ₁ + i sin θ₁)，z₂ = r₂(cos θ₂ + i sin θ₂)，则 z₁z₂ = r₁r₂(cos(θ₁+θ₂) + i sin(θ₁+θ₂))。棣莫弗定理：(cos θ + i sin θ)ⁿ = cos(nθ) + i sin(nθ)。
To find the n-th roots of a complex number, use z^(1/n) = r^(1/n)[cos((θ + 2kπ)/n) + i sin((θ + 2kπ)/n)] for k = 0, 1, …, n−1. These roots lie on a circle of radius r^(1/n) and are equally spaced by angle 2π/n.
求复数的 n 次方根时，使用公式 z^(1/n) = r^(1/n)[cos((θ + 2kπ)/n) + i sin((θ + 2kπ)/n)]，其中 k = 0, 1, …, n−1。这些根位于半径为 r^(1/n) 的圆周上，且角度间隔为 2π/n。
2. Matrices & Determinants | 矩阵与行列式
For a 2×2 matrix A = [[a, b], [c, d]], the determinant is det(A) = ad − bc. The inverse exists only if det(A) ≠ 0 and is given by A⁻¹ = (1/det(A)) [[d, −b], [−c, a]]. For a 3×3 matrix, the determinant can be found using the first row expansion or the Sarrus rule.
对于 2×2 矩阵 A = [[a, b], [c, d]]，行列式为 det(A) = ad − bc。仅当 det(A) ≠ 0 时逆矩阵存在，且 A⁻¹ = (1/det(A)) [[d, −b], [−c, a]]。对于 3×3 矩阵，行列式可使用第一行展开或萨吕斯法则计算。
Eigenvalues λ are found by solving det(A − λI) = 0. For each eigenvalue, the eigenvector v satisfies (A − λI)v = 0. Diagonalisation: if P is the matrix of eigenvectors, then P⁻¹AP = D, where D is a diagonal matrix of eigenvalues.
特征值 λ 通过求解 det(A − λI) = 0 得到。对每个特征值，特征向量 v 满足 (A − λI)v = 0。对角化：若 P 为特征向量组成的矩阵，则 P⁻¹AP = D，其中 D 是由特征值构成的对角矩阵。
Matrix transformations: rotation through angle θ is [[cos θ, −sin θ], [sin θ, cos θ]]; reflection in the line y = x is [[0, 1], [1, 0]]; enlargement with scale factor k is [[k, 0], [0, k]]. A composite transformation applies the matrices in reverse order: BA means first A, then B.
矩阵变换：旋转 θ 角为 [[cos θ, −sin θ], [sin θ, cos θ]]；关于直线 y = x 的反射为 [[0, 1], [1, 0]]；比例因子 k 的缩放为 [[k, 0], [0, k]]。复合变换按相反顺序乘：BA 表示先做 A，再做 B。
3. Vectors & Planes | 向量与平面
The scalar product: a · b = |a||b| cos θ. For coordinates, a · b = a₁b₁ + a₂b₂ + a₃b₃. The vector product a × b is perpendicular to both and |a × b| = |a||b| sin θ. The triple scalar product a · (b × c) gives the volume of the parallelepiped.
数量积：a · b = |a||b| cos θ。坐标表示为 a · b = a₁b₁ + a₂b₂ + a₃b₃。向量积 a × b 同时垂直于 a 和 b，且 |a × b| = |a||b| sin θ。三重标量积 a · (b × c) 给出平行六面体的体积。
Equation of a plane: r · n = d, where n is the normal vector. The plane through point A with normal n has equation r · n = a · n. The angle between a line and a plane is the complement of the angle between the direction vector and the normal.
平面方程：r · n = d，其中 n 为法向量。过点 A 且法向量为 n 的平面方程为 r · n = a · n。直线与平面之间的夹角等于方向向量与法向量夹角的余角。
Distance from point P with position vector p to the plane r · n = d is |p · n − d| / |n|. Intersection of a line r = a + tb and a plane can be found by substituting and solving for t.
点 P（位置向量 p）到平面 r · n = d 的距离为 |p · n − d| / |n|。直线 r = a + tb 与平面的交点可通过代入并求解 t 得到。
4. Hyperbolic Functions | 双曲函数

定义：sinh x = (eˣ − e⁻ˣ)/2，cosh x = (eˣ + e⁻ˣ)/2，tanh x = sinh x / cosh x。重要恒等式：cosh² x − sinh² x = 1。
Derivatives: d/dx(sinh x) = cosh x, d/dx(cosh x) = sinh x, d/dx(tanh x) = sech² x. Integrals: ∫ sinh x dx = cosh x + C, ∫ cosh x dx = sinh x + C.
导数：d/dx(sinh x) = cosh x，d/dx(cosh x) = sinh x，d/dx(tanh x) = sech² x。积分：∫ sinh x dx = cosh x + C，∫ cosh x dx = sinh x + C。
Inverse hyperbolic functions: arsinh x = ln(x + √(x² + 1)), arcosh x = ln(x + √(x² − 1)) for x ≥ 1, artanh x = ½ ln((1+x)/(1−x)) for |x| < 1. These are useful for integration using logarithmic forms.
反双曲函数：arsinh x = ln(x + √(x² + 1))，arcosh x = ln(x + √(x² − 1))，其中 x ≥ 1，artanh x = ½ ln((1+x)/(1−x))，其中 |x| < 1。这些对数形式常用于积分运算。
5. Differential Equations | 微分方程
First-order linear: dy/dx + P(x)y = Q(x). The integrating factor is e^(∫ P dx). Multiply through and integrate. Second-order homogeneous linear with constant coefficients: a d²y/dx² + b dy/dx + c y = 0. Solve the auxiliary equation am² + bm + c = 0.
一阶线性：dy/dx + P(x)y = Q(x)。积分因子为 e^(∫ P dx)。两边同乘积分因子后进行积分。二阶常系数齐次线性方程：a d²y/dx² + b dy/dx + c y = 0。求解辅助方程 am² + bm + c = 0。
For real distinct roots m₁, m₂: y = Ae^(m₁x) + Be^(m₂x). For repeated roots: y = (A + Bx)e^(mx). For complex roots α ± βi: y = e^(αx)(A cos βx + B sin βx).
不相等实根 m₁, m₂：y = Ae^(m₁x) + Be^(m₂x)。重根：y = (A + Bx)e^(mx)。共轭复根 α ± βi：y = e^(αx)(A cos βx + B sin βx)。
Non-homogeneous case: find particular integral using undetermined coefficients. For f(x) = polynomial, exponential, or trigonometric functions, try a suitable form. The general solution is complementary function + particular integral.
非齐次情况：使用待定系数法求特解。当 f(x) 为多项式、指数或三角函数时，可尝试相应的设定形式。通解 = 余函数 + 特解。
6. Polar Coordinates | 极坐标
Points are given by (r, θ), where r is the distance from the origin and θ the angle from the positive x‑axis. Conversion: x = r cos θ, y = r sin θ, r = √(x² + y²), θ = arctan(y/x).
点的极坐标表示为 (r, θ)，其中 r 为与原点的距离，θ 为与正 x 轴的夹角。转换关系：x = r cos θ，y = r sin θ，r = √(x² + y²)，θ = arctan(y/x)。
The area enclosed by a polar curve r = f(θ) from θ = α to θ = β is ½ ∫[α,β] r² dθ. Arc length: ∫ √(r² + (dr/dθ)²) dθ.
极坐标曲线 r = f(θ) 在 θ = α 到 θ = β 之间的围成面积为 ½ ∫[α,β] r² dθ。弧长公式：∫ √(r² + (dr/dθ)²) dθ。
Common curves: circle r = a, cardioid r = a(1 + cos θ), rose curve r = a sin(nθ) or r = a cos(nθ). Tangents: when the curve passes through the pole, the tangent is at θ = constant.
常见曲线：圆 r = a，心形线 r = a(1 + cos θ)，玫瑰线 r = a sin(nθ) 或 r = a cos(nθ)。切线：当曲线经过极点时，切线方向由恒定的 θ 给出。
7. Series & Summation | 级数与求和
Standard sums: Σₙ₌₁ⁿ r = n(n+1)/2, Σₙ₌₁ⁿ r² = n(n+1)(2n+1)/6, Σₙ₌₁ⁿ r³ = n²(n+1)²/4. The method of differences simplifies telescoping series where terms cancel.
标准求和公式：Σₙ₌₁ⁿ r = n(n+1)/2，Σₙ₌₁ⁿ r² = n(n+1)(2n+1)/6，Σₙ₌₁ⁿ r³ = n²(n+1)²/4。差分法可化简可裂项相消的级数。
The Maclaurin series: f(x) = f(0) + f'(0)x + f”(0)x²/2! + f”'(0)x³/3! + … . Important expansions: eˣ = 1 + x + x²/2! + x³/3! + …, sin x = x − x³/3! + x⁵/5! − …, cos x = 1 − x²/2! + x⁴/4! − ….

(1 + x)ⁿ 的二项式展开为 1 + nx + n(n−1)x²/2! + …，在 |x| < 1 时成立。当 n 为有理数时，级数为无穷级数。
8. Proof by Induction | 数学归纳法证明
The structure: (1) Base case: prove the statement for n = 1 (or smallest value). (2) Inductive hypothesis: assume true for n = k. (3) Inductive step: prove the statement for n = k+1 using the assumption. (4) Conclusion: by induction, true for all n ∈ ℕ.
基本结构：（1）基础情况：验证 n = 1（或最小取值）时命题成立。（2）归纳假设：假设 n = k 时命题成立。（3）归纳步骤：利用该假设推导 n = k+1 时命题成立。（4）结论：由数学归纳法，命题对所有正整数 n 成立。
Common applications: summation formulas, divisibility proofs, matrix powers, inequalities. For divisibility, express f(k+1) in terms of f(k) and show both parts are divisible by the given integer.
常见应用：求和公式、整除性证明、矩阵的幂次、不等式。对整除性问题，将 f(k+1) 用 f(k) 表示，并证明两者均能被给定整数整除。
For recurrence relations defined by uₙ₊₁ = f(uₙ), you may need to show that if uₖ satisfies a property, then uₖ₊₁ does too. Always state the inductive hypothesis clearly.
对于由 uₙ₊₁ = f(uₙ) 定义的递推关系，可能需要证明若 uₖ 满足某性质，则 uₖ₊₁ 也满足。务必清晰阐明归纳假设。
9. Integration Techniques (Pure Core Highlights) | 积分技巧（纯数核心精要）
Standard integrals beyond AS: ∫ 1/(x² + a²) dx = (1/a) arctan(x/a) + C; ∫ 1/√(a² − x²) dx = arcsin(x/a) + C; ∫ 1/√(x² + a²) dx = arsinh(x/a) + C, etc. Use trigonometric and hyperbolic substitutions to simplify integrals containing √(a² ± x²) or √(x² − a²).
AS 之外的常见积分：∫ 1/(x² + a²) dx = (1/a) arctan(x/a) + C；∫ 1/√(a² − x²) dx = arcsin(x/a) + C；∫ 1/√(x² + a²) dx = arsinh(x/a) + C 等。可使用三角代换或双曲代换化简被积函数含有 √(a² ± x²) 或 √(x² − a²) 的积分。
Integration by parts: ∫ u dv = uv − ∫ v du. Often used for products of polynomials and exponentials or trig functions. The LIATE rule helps choose u. Reduction formulas derived from integration by parts appear frequently.
分部积分法：∫ u dv = uv − ∫ v du。常用于多项式与指数或三角函数的乘积。LIATE 法则有助于选取 u。由分部积分法导出的递推公式也是常见考点。
Partial fractions: express rational functions as a sum of simpler fractions. Use linear or repeated linear factors and irreducible quadratics. This is essential for integrating rational functions.
部分分式：将有理函数表示为更简单分式的和。需处理线性因式、重因式以及不可约二次因式。这是积分有理函数的关键技巧。
10. Exam Tips & Common Mistakes | 应试技巧与常见错误
Always check the quadrant when finding an argument; using arctan alone can give the wrong angle. For polar area, use ½ ∫ r² dθ and know the limits carefully; sketch the curve if needed. In differential equations, remember to find the particular solution using initial conditions.
求辐角时务必确认象限，仅用 arctan 可能导致角度错误。计算极坐标面积时使用 ½ ∫ r² dθ 并留意积分限，必要时画出曲线。微分方程中记得利用初始条件确定特解。
Matrix multiplication is not commutative: AB ≠ BA in general. When finding eigenvalues, double-check the characteristic equation. For induction, the base case must be proved, not just stated. Avoid misuse of the induction hypothesis – ensure that you are proving the n=k+1 case, not assuming it.
矩阵乘法一般不满足交换律：AB ≠ BA 通常成立。求特征值时反复检查特征方程。数学归纳法中，基础情况必须证明，而不仅是陈述。避免误用归纳假设——确保你是在证明 n=k+1 的情形，而非直接假设它成立。
Read the question carefully: ‘evaluate’ means use exact values, ‘sketch’ requires key features labelled, ‘hence’ indicates you should use the previous result. Manage your time: spend no more than one minute per mark on lengthy questions.
仔细审题：‘evaluate’ 要求精确值，‘sketch’ 需要标出关键特征，‘hence’ 提示你需利用前一小题的结果。合理分配时间：在长题上每分不超过一分钟。
