1. What is the Master Insert? | 什么是公式手册？
The Master Insert is a printed booklet provided in all Oxford AQA A-Level Mathematics (9665) and Further Mathematics (9670) examinations. It contains pure mathematics, mechanics, statistics and further pure formulas. You don’t need to memorise these, but knowing where everything lives saves precious time and prevents panicked searches.
公式手册是牛津AQA A-Level数学(9665)与进阶数学(9670)考试中统一提供的小册子，涵盖纯数学、力学、统计学及进阶纯数公式。这些公式无需死记硬背，但熟悉每个公式所在的位置可以节省时间，避免慌乱翻找。
2. Pure Mathematics: Algebra and Functions | 纯数学：代数与函数
The insert gives the quadratic formula: x = (−b ± √(b² − 4ac)) / 2a. It also shows the discriminant rule: if b² − 4ac > 0, two distinct real roots; if b² − 4ac = 0, one real root; if b² − 4ac < 0, no real roots. Laws of indices and surds appear, such as am × an = am+n and √(ab) = √a × √b.
手册给出了二次方程求根公式：x = (−b ± √(b² − 4ac)) / 2a，还列出了判别式规则：b² − 4ac > 0 时有两个不等实根，等于0时一个实根，小于0时无实根。指数与根式法则也在其中，比如 am × an = am+n 以及 √(ab) = √a × √b。
3. Pure Mathematics: Trigonometry | 纯数学：三角学
Trigonometric identities are central: sin²θ + cos²θ = 1, tanθ = sinθ / cosθ. The insert also supplies sine and cosine rules for non‑right‑angled triangles: a / sinA = b / sinB = c / sinC and a² = b² + c² − 2bc cosA. Radian measure is listed: 1 radian ≈ 57.3°, and the area of a sector ½ r²θ (θ in radians).
三角恒等式是核心：sin²θ + cos²θ = 1，tanθ = sinθ / cosθ。手册还给出了任意三角形的正弦与余弦定理：a / sinA = b / sinB = c / sinC 以及 a² = b² + c² − 2bc cosA。弧度制也列入其中：1 rad ≈ 57.3°，扇形面积公式为 ½ r²θ（θ以弧度计）。
4. Pure Mathematics: Exponential and Logarithmic Functions | 纯数学：指数与对数函数
The insert states that ax = ex ln a and reminds you that loga x = ln x / ln a. Laws of logs appear: logₐ (xy) = logₐ x + logₐ y, and logₐ (xn) = n logₐ x. Knowing when to switch between forms is essential for solving exponential growth/decay problems.
手册指出 ax = ex ln a，并提醒 loga x = ln x / ln a。对数运算法则也在其中：logₐ (xy) = logₐ x + logₐ y，logₐ (xn) = n logₐ x。在解指数增长与衰减问题时，何时切换形式至关重要。
5. Pure Mathematics: Differentiation | 纯数学：微分
The insert gives derivatives of standard functions: if y = xn, then dy/dx = n xn−1; y = ekx → k ekx; y = ln x → 1/x; y = sin x → cos x; y = cos x → −sin x; y = tan x → sec²x. Product, quotient and chain rules are listed: d(uv)/dx = u’v + uv’, d(u/v)/dx = (u’v − uv’)/v², dy/dx = dy/du × du/dx.
手册列出了基本函数的导数：若 y = xn，则 dy/dx = n xn−1；y = ekx → k ekx；y = ln x → 1/x；y = sin x → cos x；y = cos x → −sin x；y = tan x → sec²x。乘法、除法与链式法则也在其中：d(uv)/dx = u’v + uv’，d(u/v)/dx = (u’v − uv’)/v²，dy/dx = dy/du × du/dx。
6. Pure Mathematics: Integration | 纯数学：积分
Standard integrals mirror differentiation: ∫ xn dx = (1/(n+1)) xn+1 + C (n ≠ −1); ∫ 1/x dx = ln|x| + C; ∫ ekx dx = (1/k) ekx + C; ∫ sin x dx = −cos x + C; ∫ cos x dx = sin x + C. The trapezium rule appears as ∫ab y dx ≈ ½ h [(y₀ + yₙ) + 2(y₁ + y₂ + … + yn−1)] where h = (b − a)/n.
基本积分与微分对称：∫ xn dx = (1/(n+1)) xn+1 + C（n ≠ −1）；∫ 1/x dx = ln|x| + C；∫ ekx dx = (1/k) ekx + C；∫ sin x dx = −cos x + C；∫ cos x dx = sin x + C。梯形法则公式为 ∫ab y dx ≈ ½ h [(y₀ + yₙ) + 2(y₁ + y₂ + … + yn−1)]，其中 h = (b − a)/n。
7. Pure Mathematics: Vectors | 纯数学：向量
Vector formulae include the magnitude |a| = √(x² + y² + z²), the scalar product a·b = |a||b| cosθ = x₁x₂ + y₁y₂ + z₁z₂, and the equation of a line r = a + tb. For planes, the insert gives the scalar product form r·n = p and the Cartesian form n₁x + n₂y + n₃z = p.
向量部分包含模长 |a| = √(x² + y² + z²)，数量积 a·b = |a||b| cosθ = x₁x₂ + y₁y₂ + z₁z₂，以及直线方程 r = a + tb。对于平面，手册提供了数量积形式 r·n = p 与笛卡尔形式 n₁x + n₂y + n₃z = p。
8. Mechanics: Kinematics and Forces | 力学：运动学与力
The mechanics section lists SUVAT equations for constant acceleration: v = u + at, s = ut + ½ at², v² = u² + 2as, s = ½ (u + v)t. Newton’s second law appears as F = ma, and friction as F ≤ μR. For connected particles and inclined planes, weight components are given by mg sinθ and mg cosθ.
力学部分列出了匀加速运动的 SUVAT 公式：v = u + at，s = ut + ½ at²，v² = u² + 2as，s = ½ (u + v)t。牛顿第二定律为 F = ma，摩擦力为 F ≤ μR。对连接体与斜面，重力分量为 mg sinθ 与 mg cosθ。
9. Statistics: Probability and Distributions | 统计学：概率与分布
This part offers the binomial distribution formula: P(X = r) = ⁿCᵣ pr qn−r with mean μ = np and variance σ² = npq. Normal distribution tables are not in the insert but are separate; however the insert provides the standardisation formula z = (x − μ) / σ. For correlation and regression, it lists Sxx = Σx² − (Σx)²/n and Sxy = Σxy − (Σx)(Σy)/n, giving the regression line y = a + bx where b = Sxy / Sxx and a = y̅ − b x̅.
统计部分给出二项分布公式：P(X = r) = ⁿCᵣ pr qn−r，均值为 μ = np，方差为 σ² = npq。正态分布表不在手册中，但提供了标准化公式 z = (x − μ) / σ。相关与回归部分则有 Sxx = Σx² − (Σx)²/n 与 Sxy = Σxy − (Σx)(Σy)/n，回归直线为 y = a + bx，其中 b = Sxy / Sxx，a = y̅ − b x̅。
10. Further Pure: Complex Numbers | 进阶纯数：复数
Further Mathematics candidates find Euler’s relation eiθ = cosθ + i sinθ and De Moivre’s theorem (cosθ + i sinθ)n = cos nθ + i sin nθ. The insert also gives the form z = r(cosθ + i sinθ) and its conversion r = √(a² + b²), tanθ = b/a. Roots of unity appear as z = ⁿ√r [cos(θ + 2kπ)/n + i sin(θ + 2kπ)/n].
进阶数学考生会看到欧拉关系 eiθ = cosθ + i sinθ 与棣莫弗定理 (cosθ + i sinθ)n = cos nθ + i sin nθ。手册也给出了 z = r(cosθ + i sinθ) 形式及其转换 r = √(a² + b²)，tanθ = b/a。单位根公式为 z = ⁿ√r [cos(θ + 2kπ)/n + i sin(θ + 2kπ)/n]。
11. Further Pure: Matrices and Determinants | 进阶纯数：矩阵与行列式
For 2×2 and 3×3 matrices, the determinant formulas are provided: det ⎡a b; c d⎤ = ad − bc. The inverse of a 2×2 matrix is 1/(ad−bc) ⎡d −b; −c a⎤. For transformations, the rotation matrix ⎡cosθ −sinθ; sinθ cosθ⎤ and reflection matrices are given. Eigenvalues and eigenvectors are not directly in the insert, but the characteristic equation det(A − λI) = 0 is implied by the determinant rule.
对于2×2与3×3矩阵，手册给出行列式公式：det ⎡a b; c d⎤ = ad − bc。2×2矩阵的逆为 1/(ad−bc) ⎡d −b; −c a⎤。线性变换中，旋转矩阵 ⎡cosθ −sinθ; sinθ cosθ⎤ 与反射矩阵均列出。虽然特征值与特征向量未直接出现，但行列式规则隐含了特征方程 det(A − λI) = 0。
12. Exam Tips: How to Use the Insert Effectively | 考试技巧：高效使用公式手册
Always check units and whether a formula is directly applicable. For mechanics, draw a diagram and label forces before choosing a SUVAT equation. In statistics, use the given Sxx/Sxy forms to reduce calculation errors. Practice with past papers while having the insert open, so you develop muscle memory for where each formula sits. Never leave a question blank because you can’t recall a formula — it might be right there on the insert.
务必检查单位，判断公式是否直接适用。做力学题时，先画受力图再选择SUVAT方程。统计题用给出的Sxx/Sxy形式可减少计算错误。刷历年真题时开着公式手册，培养快速定位的肌肉记忆。千万不能因为记不起某个公式而留空白——它很可能就在手册里。
