1. Complex Numbers & de Moivre’s Theorem | 复数与棣莫弗定理
Express every complex number in modulus‑argument form z = r(cos θ + i sin θ) as soon as powers or roots appear. The exponential shorthand z = r eiθ makes multiplication and division trivial.
一旦题目涉及复数的幂或方根，立刻将复数写成模‑辐角形式 z = r(cos θ + i sin θ)。指数简写 z = r eiθ 能让乘除运算变得十分简单。
de Moivre’s theorem states (cos θ + i sin θ)n = cos nθ + i sin nθ. Use it to derive trigonometric identities by expanding (cos θ + i sin θ)n and equating real and imaginary parts.
棣莫弗定理指出 (cos θ + i sin θ)n = cos nθ + i sin nθ。可利用它推导三角恒等式：展开左边的二项式，再分别比较实部和虚部。
The n‑th roots of a complex number are n points equally spaced on a circle of radius r1/n, with arguments (θ + 2kπ)/n for k = 0, 1, …, n−1. Always add 2kπ before dividing to avoid missing roots.
复数的 n 次方根分布在半径为 r1/n 的圆上，辐角为 (θ + 2kπ)/n，k = 0, 1, …, n−1。务必先加上 2kπ 再除以 n，否则会漏掉方根。
2. Matrices & Linear Transformations | 矩阵与线性变换
The determinant det(M) gives the area scale factor of the transformation represented by M. If det(M) = 0, the transformation collapses the plane onto a line or point and M is singular.
行列式 det(M) 表示矩阵 M 所对应线性变换的面积缩放因子。若 det(M) = 0，变换将平面压缩到一条直线或一个点，此时 M 为奇异矩阵。
For a 2×2 matrix M = [[a, b], [c, d]], the inverse is M⁻¹ = (1/det(M)) [[d, −b], [−c, a]]. Check with M M⁻¹ = I. The transformation represented by M⁻¹ reverses the effect of M.
对于 2×2 矩阵 M = [[a, b], [c, d]]，其逆矩阵为 M⁻¹ = (1/det(M)) [[d, −b], [−c, a]]。务必验证 M M⁻¹ = I。M⁻¹ 对应的变换能撤销 M 的效果。
Invariant lines satisfy M x = λ x for some scalar λ, or simply pass through the origin with direction unchanged. For invariant lines not through the origin, solve M x = x + k for some vector k parallel to the line.
不变线满足存在标量 λ 使 M x = λ x，或方向保持不变的过原点直线。对于不过原点的不变线，可解 M x = x + k，其中 k 与直线方向平行。
Matrix multiplication to combine transformations is read from right to left: BA acts on a vector as first A, then B. Never assume BA = AB.
用矩阵乘法表示复合变换时按从右向左的顺序：BA 表示先施加 A 再施加 B。注意矩阵乘法通常不可交换，切勿想当然地认为 BA = AB。
3. Vectors, Lines & Planes | 向量、直线与平面
The vector equation of a line is r = a + t d, where a is a point on the line and d is a direction vector. The scalar product form r · n = p defines a plane, with n being a normal vector.
直线的向量方程为 r = a + t d，其中 a 为直线上一点，d 为方向向量。平面的点法式方程为 r · n = p，n 为平面的法向量。
To find the angle between two planes, find the angle between their normals using cos θ = |n₁·n₂| / (|n₁||n₂|). For the angle between a line and a plane, use sin θ = |d·n| / (|d||n|).
求两平面的夹角时，先求法向量的夹角 cos θ = |n₁·n₂| / (|n₁||n₂|)。求直线与平面的夹角则用 sin θ = |d·n| / (|d||n|)。
The shortest distance from a point P to a plane r · n = d is |(AP)·n| / |n|, where A is any point on the plane. The perpendicular distance between two parallel planes is the difference in their constant terms divided by |n|.
点 P 到平面 r · n = d 的最短距离为 |(AP)·n| / |n|，其中 A 是平面上任一点。两平行平面之间的垂直距离等于常数项之差除以 |n|。
- Check for skew lines: set r₁ = r₂ and show the system has no solution; find the shortest distance via a scalar triple product formula.
- 判断异面直线：令 r₁ = r₂，证明方程组无解；最短距离可利用标量三重积公式求出。
4. Hyperbolic Functions | 双曲函数
Definitions: sinh x = (eˣ − e⁻ˣ)/2, cosh x = (eˣ + e⁻ˣ)/2. Derivatives flow in a cycle: d/dx(sinh x) = cosh x, d/dx(cosh x) = sinh x.
定义：sinh x = (eˣ − e⁻ˣ)/2，cosh x = (eˣ + e⁻ˣ)/2。导数形成一个循环：d(sinh x)/dx = cosh x，d(cosh x)/dx = sinh x。
Key identity: cosh² x − sinh² x = 1. Allied forms: cosh² x = 1 + sinh² x, sinh² x = cosh² x − 1. Use them to solve hyperbolic equations by converting to exponentials or applying Osborne’s rule.
核心恒等式：cosh² x − sinh² x = 1。变形有 cosh² x = 1 + sinh² x，sinh² x = cosh² x − 1。解双曲方程时可化为指数方程，也可利用 Osborne 法则转化为三角恒等式。
Inverse hyperbolic functions are logarithmic: arsinh x = ln(x + √(x² + 1)), arcosh x = ln(x + √(x² − 1)), artanh x = ½ ln((1 + x)/(1 − x)). Differentiate them directly or use implicit differentiation.
反双曲函数可用对数表示：arsinh x = ln(x + √(x² + 1))，arcosh x = ln(x + √(x² − 1))，artanh x = ½ ln((1 + x)/(1 − x))。求导时可直接记忆公式，也可用隐函数求导推导。
5. Advanced Integration Techniques | 高级积分技巧
Standard reduction formulas are often provided, but check the domain carefully. Always adjust the index step‑by‑step until the integral reduces to a base case like ∫ sin x dx or ∫ dx/(x² + a²).
试卷常给出递推公式，但务必注意定义域。逐步降低指数，直到化归为基本积分，如 ∫ sin x dx 或 ∫ dx/(x² + a²)。
When integrating rational functions of sin θ and cos θ, the substitution t = tan(θ/2) converts the integrand to an algebraic rational function. Remember dθ = 2 dt/(1 + t²), sin θ = 2t/(1 + t²), cos θ = (1 − t²)/(1 + t²).
碰到 sin θ 和 cos θ 的有理函数积分时，用万能代换 t = tan(θ/2) 可将其化为代数有理函数的积分。牢记 dθ = 2 dt/(1 + t²)，sin θ = 2t/(1 + t²)，cos θ = (1 − t²)/(1 + t²)。
Integration by parts for products like x eˣ or x² ln x works with a clear strategy: differentiate the polynomial and integrate the other factor repeatedly if needed. For ln x, set u = ln x.
对 x eˣ 或 x² ln x 这类乘积型积分，分部积分法的策略是：将多项式部分求导，另一部分反复积分。若含 ln x，通常取 u = ln x 求导。
Partial fractions: keep the degree of numerator less than denominator. Cover‑up rule speeds up linear factors; for repeated factors write several terms with increasing powers.
部分分式分解时，保持分子次数低于分母。线性因子可用遮挡法快速求解；重复因子需将分式写成各次幂的线性组合。
6. First‑ & Second‑Order Differential Equations | 一阶与二阶微分方程
First‑order separable equations: separate y and x completely, then integrate both sides. Never forget the constant of integration – use initial conditions to find it.
可分离变量的一阶微分方程：彻底将 y 与 x 分离到等号两边，然后分别积分。积分常数一定不能丢，再利用初始条件确定其值。
For linear first‑order equations dy/dx + P(x)y = Q(x), the integrating factor is I = e^(∫ P dx). Multiply through by I to obtain d/dx (I y) = I Q.
对于一阶线性方程 dy/dx + P(x)y = Q(x)，积分因子为 I = e^(∫ P dx)。方程两边同乘 I，左边即化为 d(I y)/dx = I Q，从而直接积分求解。
Second‑order linear ODEs with constant coefficients: a d²y/dx² + b dy/dx + c y = 0 → auxiliary equation am² + bm + c = 0. Roots m₁, m₂ real distinct give y = A e^(m₁x) + B e^(m₂x); repeated root m gives y = (A + Bx) e^(mx); complex conjugate roots α ± iβ give y = e^(αx)(A cos βx + B sin βx).
二阶常系数线性齐次方程 a d²y/dx² + b dy/dx + c y = 0，辅助方程为 am² + bm + c = 0。两相异实根 m₁, m₂ 时通解为 y = A e^(m₁x) + B e^(m₂x)；重根 m 时 y = (A + Bx) e^(mx)；共轭复根 α ± iβ 时通解为 y = e^(αx)(A cos βx + B sin βx)。
For the non‑homogeneous case, find a particular integral by trying a form similar to f(x): polynomial → polynomial of same degree, exponential → C e^(kx), trigonometric → C cos ωx + D sin ωx. If the trial solution appears in the complementary function, multiply by x.
对于非齐次方程，用待定系数法求特解。f(x) 为多项式时设同次多项式，指数时设 C e^(kx)，三角时设 C cos ωx + D sin ωx。若试探解与齐次解有相同项，则乘以 x 再试。
7. Summation of Series | 级数求和
Standard summations: Σ r from 1 to n = n(n+1)/2, Σ r² = n(n+1)(2n+1)/6, Σ r³ = [n(n+1)/2]². Use these alongside factorisation to sum polynomial expressions.
基本求和公式：Σ r = n(n+1)/2，Σ r² = n(n+1)(2n+1)/6，Σ r³ = [n(n+1)/2]²。利用这些公式并结合因式分解，就能求出任意多项式函数的级数和。
When summing a rational expression in r, apply partial fractions first. Telescoping cancellations often leave only a few terms at the start and end.
当求和项为 r 的有理分式时，先拆成部分分式。很多级数会前后相消，仅剩开头和末尾几项，这种级数称为裂项相消型。
Maclaurin series: f(x) = f(0) + f'(0) x + f”(0)x²/2! + … + f^(n)(0)x^n/n! + … . Learn expansions of eˣ, sin x, cos x, ln(1+x), (1+x)^k. These are used to find limits and approximate functions.
麦克劳林展开：f(x) = f(0) + f'(0) x + f”(0)x²/2! + … + f^(n)(0)x^n/n! + …。熟记 eˣ, sin x, cos x, ln(1+x), (1+x)^k 的展开式。它们常用于求极限和近似计算。
8. Polar Coordinates | 极坐标
Transform between Cartesian and polar: x = r cos θ, y = r sin θ, r = √(x² + y²), θ = arctan(y/x) (check quadrant). Curves are often expressed as r = f(θ).
直角坐标与极坐标的互化：x = r cos θ，y = r sin θ，r = √(x² + y²)，θ = arctan(y/x)（注意判断象限）。曲线通常以 r = f(θ) 的形式给出。
The area enclosed by a polar curve from θ = α to θ = β is A = ½ ∫ r² dθ. For a loop, integrate between the two angles where r = 0. Sketch the curve first to identify symmetry.
极坐标曲线在 θ = α 到 θ = β 之间围成的面积为 A = ½ ∫ r² dθ。若曲线存在 loop，应在 r = 0 的两个角度间积分。先画草图，利用对称性可简化计算。
The tangent at a point on a polar curve is found from dy/dx = (dy/dθ)/(dx/dθ). Parallel to the initial line when dy/dθ = 0, perpendicular when dx/dθ = 0.
极曲线上某点的切线斜率由 dy/dx = (dy/dθ)/(dx/dθ) 给出。平行于极轴时 dy/dθ = 0，垂直于极轴时 dx/dθ = 0。
9. Proof by Induction | 数学归纳法证明
An induction proof has three clear stages: base case (usually n = 1), induction hypothesis (assume true for n = k), and induction step (prove for n = k+1 using the hypothesis). Always write a conclusion.
数学归纳法证明包括三个清晰的步骤：基础步骤（通常验证 n = 1）；归纳假设（假设 n = k 时命题成立）；归纳递推（利用假设证明 n = k+1 时命题成立）。最后必须给出结论。
For summation formulas, the induction step typically reads: Σ up to k+1 = Σ up to k + (k+1)‑th term, then substitute the assumed formula and simplify to the expected (k+1) form.
对于求和公式的归纳证明，归纳递推通常写成：前 k+1 项之和 = 前 k 项之和 + 第 k+1 项，再将归纳假设代入并化简，最终整理成 k+1 时的目标形式。
Divisibility proofs: assume f(k) is divisible by d, then show f(k+1) − m·f(k) (for a suitable multiplier m) is also divisible by d, and conclude f(k+1) is divisible by d. Always state “by the induction hypothesis”.
整除性证明：假设 f(k) 可被 d 整除，然后构造 f(k+1) − m·f(k)（选择合适的乘数 m）使之也能被 d 整除，从而推出 f(k+1) 可被 d 整除。递推中务必注明“由归纳假设”。
Matrix induction: start with Mᵏ and multiply by M to obtain Mᵏ⁺¹, simplifying entries carefully. Check the base case for n = 1 matches the given form.
矩阵幂的归纳证明：先写出 Mᵏ，左乘 M 得到 Mᵏ⁺¹，逐项化简矩阵元。基础步骤需验证 n = 1 时命题形式与给定表达式一致。
10. Statistics Quick Hits (FS/FS2) | 统计冲刺要点（进阶统计）
For a continuous random variable with pdf f(x), probabilities are areas: P(a < X < b) = ∫ₐᵇ f(x) dx. The total area must be 1. The cumulative distribution function F(x) = P(X ≤ x) = ∫₋∞ˣ f(t) dt.
对于具有概率密度函数 f(x) 的连续随机变量，概率就是面积：P(a < X < b) = ∫ₐᵇ f(x) dx。总概率必须为 1。累积分布函数 F(x) = P(X ≤ x) = ∫₋∞ˣ f(t) dt。
Expectation: E(X) = ∫ x f(x) dx, Var(X) = ∫ x² f(x) dx − [E(X)]². For linear combinations, E(aX + b) = a E(X) + b, Var(aX + b) = a² Var(X).
期望：E(X) = ∫ x f(x) dx，方差：Var(X) = ∫ x² f(x) dx − [E(X)]²。线性组合的期望和方差满足 E(aX + b) = a E(X) + b，Var(aX + b) = a² Var(X)。
Hypothesis tests: state H₀ and H₁, choose significance level α, compute the test statistic, compare with critical values from Normal, t or χ² tables. Use p‑value method when given: reject H₀ if p < α.
假设检验：明确写出 H₀ 和 H₁，选定显著性水平 α，计算检验统计量，并与正态分布、t 分布或卡方分布的临界值比较。若给出 p 值，则当 p < α 时拒绝 H₀。
Type I error occurs when H₀ is true but rejected; probability = α. Type II error occurs when H₁ is true but H₀ is accepted; its probability depends on the true parameter value.
第一类错误发生在 H₀ 为真却被拒绝时，其概率等于 α。第二类错误发生在 H₁ 为真却接受了 H₀ 时，其概率依赖于真实的参数值。
- For Poisson and Normal approximations, check conditions: Poisson(λ) approximately Normal for λ > 10; Binomial(n, p) approximately Normal for np > 5, n(1−p) > 5. Apply continuity corrections.
- 用正态分布近似泊松分布或二项分布时，注意条件：λ > 10 时 Poisson(λ) 近似正态；np > 5 且 n(1−p) > 5 时二项分布近似正态。记得进行连续性校正。
