1. Algebraic Fundamentals and Laws of Indices | 代数基础与指数定律
Mastering index laws is crucial for simplifying expressions and solving equations efficiently. The three core laws are: aᵐ × aⁿ = aᵐ⁺ⁿ, aᵐ ÷ aⁿ = aᵐ⁻ⁿ, and (aᵐ)ⁿ = aᵐⁿ. When working with negative indices, remember a⁻ⁿ = 1/aⁿ, and fractional indices represent roots, such as a^(1/2) = √a.
掌握指数定律是高效化简表达式和求解方程的关键。三大基本定律为：同底数幂相乘指数相加、相除指数相减，以及幂的乘方指数相乘。处理负指数时谨记 a⁻ⁿ = 1/aⁿ；分数指数表示开方，如 a^(1/2) = √a。
Be careful with products and quotients raised to a power: (ab)ⁿ = aⁿbⁿ and (a/b)ⁿ = aⁿ/bⁿ. A common mistake is to apply the power only to the first term; always distribute the exponent to every factor inside the brackets.
处理积的乘方与商的乘方需注意：(ab)ⁿ = aⁿbⁿ 以及 (a/b)ⁿ = aⁿ/bⁿ。常见错误是只把指数作用在第一项上，必须将指数分配给括号内的每一个因子。
Example: Simplify (2x²y⁻³)³ = 2³x⁶y⁻⁹ = 8x⁶ / y⁹
2. Factorisation of Polynomials | 多项式的因式分解
Factorisation reverses expansion and is essential for solving equations and simplifying rational expressions. The first step is always to take out the greatest common factor (GCF). For quadratics of the form x² + bx + c, find two numbers that multiply to c and add to b. For instance, x² + 5x + 6 = (x+2)(x+3).
因式分解是展开的逆运算，是解方程与化简有理式的基石。第一步永远是提取最大公因式。对于形如 x² + bx + c 的二次三项式，寻找两个数使其积为 c、和为 b。例如 x² + 5x + 6 = (x+2)(x+3)。
When the coefficient of x² is not 1 (i.e., ax² + bx + c), use the “ac method” or factor by grouping. Also recognise special patterns: difference of squares a² – b² = (a – b)(a + b), and perfect square trinomials a² ± 2ab + b² = (a ± b)².
当 x² 的系数不为 1 时（即 ax² + bx + c），可采用”十字相乘法”或分组分解法。同时要识别特殊模式：平方差公式 a² – b² = (a – b)(a + b)，以及完全平方公式 a² ± 2ab + b² = (a ± b)²。
Example: 2x² + 7x + 3 = 2x² + 6x + x + 3 = 2x(x+3) + 1(x+3) = (2x+1)(x+3)
3. Quadratic Equations and Functions | 二次方程与函数
Quadratic equations ax² + bx + c = 0 can be solved by factorising, completing the square, or using the quadratic formula. The discriminant Δ = b² – 4ac determines the nature of the roots: if Δ > 0, two distinct real roots; if Δ = 0, one repeated real root; if Δ < 0, no real roots.
二次方程 ax² + bx + c = 0 可通过因式分解、配方法或求根公式求解。判别式 Δ = b² – 4ac 决定了根的性质：Δ > 0 有两个不等实根，Δ = 0 有两个相等实根，Δ < 0 无实根。
x = [–b ± √(b² – 4ac)] / (2a)
The graph of y = ax² + bx + c is a parabola. If a > 0, it opens upwards with a minimum point; if a < 0, it opens downwards with a maximum point. The vertex can be found by completing the square or using x = –b/(2a). The y-intercept is c, and the x-intercepts are the roots of the equation.
y = ax² + bx + c 的图像是一条抛物线。a > 0 时开口向上，有最小值点；a < 0 时开口向下，有最大值点。顶点可通过配方法或公式 x = –b/(2a) 求得。y 轴截距为 c，x 轴截距即方程的两个根。
4. Inequalities | 不等式
Solving linear inequalities follows similar steps to equations, but multiplying or dividing by a negative number reverses the inequality sign. Quadratic inequalities, such as x² – 4x > 0, are best solved by sketching the related parabola and identifying the regions where the curve lies above or below the x-axis.
解线性不等式与解方程步骤类似，但当两边乘或除以一个负数时，不等号方向要改变。二次不等式如 x² – 4x > 0 最好通过画出对应的抛物线草图，找出曲线位于 x 轴上方或下方的区间来求解。
Always represent the solution set on a number line or using interval notation. For example, (x – 2)(x + 3) ≤ 0 gives –3 ≤ x ≤ 2. Pay attention to strict inequalities (<, >) versus inclusive ones (≤, ≥), especially when boundaries are included or excluded from the solution set.
解集须用数轴或区间表示法呈现。例如 (x – 2)(x + 3) ≤ 0 的解集为 –3 ≤ x ≤ 2。注意严格不等号 (<, >) 与含等号的不等号 (≤, ≥) 的区别，边界值是否包含在解集中非常关键。
5. Functions and Graph Transformations | 函数与函数图像变换
A function f(x) maps each input to exactly one output. The domain is the set of all possible inputs, and the range is the set of all outputs. Composite functions f(g(x)) apply one function after another; inverse functions f⁻¹(x) reverse the mapping, provided f is one-to-one.
函数 f(x) 将每个输入映射到唯一输出。定义域是所有可能输入的集合，值域是所有输出的集合。复合函数 f(g(x)) 表示先后应用两个函数；反函数 f⁻¹(x) 则逆转这种映射关系，前提是 f 为一一映射。
Graph transformations allow us to sketch related functions quickly. Adding a constant f(x) + a shifts the graph vertically by a; f(x + a) shifts it horizontally by –a. Multiplying by –1 reflects in the x-axis: –f(x); reflection in the y-axis is f(–x). Stretches are given by a f(x) (vertical stretch by factor a) and f(ax) (horizontal stretch by factor 1/a).
函数图像变换能帮助我们快速绘制相关函数的图像。f(x) + a 使图像竖直平移 a 个单位；f(x + a) 使图像水平平移 –a 个单位。乘上 –1 得到关于 x 轴的对称像 –f(x)；关于 y 轴的对称像为 f(–x)。拉伸变换分别为 a f(x)（竖直拉伸 a 倍）和 f(ax)（水平拉伸 1/a 倍）。
6. Geometry: Circle Theorems and Properties | 几何：圆的性质与定理
Circle theorems are a set of rules about angles and lengths in circles. The angle at the centre is twice the angle at the circumference subtended by the same arc. Angles in the same segment are equal, and the angle in a semicircle is always a right angle.
圆定理是一组关于圆内角与长度的规则。同弧所对的圆心角是圆周角的两倍。同一弓形上的圆周角相等，而半圆所对的圆周角始终是直角。
Cyclic quadrilaterals have opposite angles summing to 180°. The tangent to a circle is perpendicular to the radius at the point of contact. The alternate segment theorem states that the angle between a tangent and a chord equals the angle in the alternate segment.
圆内接四边形的对角之和为 180°。圆的切线垂直于过切点的半径。切割线定理指出，弦与切线所夹的角等于该弦所对的另一弓形上的圆周角。
Applying these theorems to multi-step problems requires careful labelling and logical deduction. Always give reasons for each step using the appropriate theorem.
将定理应用于多步骤问题时，需要仔细标注并进行逻辑推理。每一步都必须用合适的定理说明理由。
7. Introduction to Trigonometry | 三角学入门
In a right-angled triangle, the three primary trigonometric ratios are sine = opposite/hypotenuse, cosine = adjacent/hypotenuse, and tangent = opposite/adjacent. These ratios link angles and side lengths, enabling us to find unknown sides or angles using SOH CAH TOA.
在直角三角形中，三个基本三角比为：正弦 = 对边/斜边，余弦 = 邻边/斜边，正切 = 对边/邻边。这些比值将角度与边长联系起来，借助 SOH CAH TOA 口诀可求出未知边或角。
For angles beyond 90°, we use the unit circle definition. The signs of trigonometric ratios in the four quadrants can be remembered by “All Students Take Calculus” (All positive in Q1, Sine positive in Q2, Tangent positive in Q3, Cosine positive in Q4).
对于大于 90° 的角，我们使用单位圆定义。四个象限中三角比的正负可通过口诀记忆：第一象限全正，第二象限正弦正，第三象限正切正，第四象限余弦正。
Exact values for 30°, 45°, and 60° must be memorised. For example, sin 30° = 1/2, cos 45° = √2/2, tan 60° = √3. These are often tested without calculators.
必须熟记 30°、45° 和 60° 角的精确值。例如 sin 30° = 1/2、cos 45° = √2/2、tan 60° = √3。这些常在非计算器题目中出现。
8. Vectors in Two Dimensions | 二维向量
A vector describes both magnitude and direction, represented geometrically by a directed line segment or algebraically by a column vector. The vector a⃗ = (x, y) has components x and y. The magnitude |a⃗| is found by √(x² + y²).
向量用于描述大小和方向，几何上用有向线段表示，代数上可用列向量表示。向量 a⃗ = (x, y) 的分量为 x 和 y，其模长 |a⃗| 由 √(x² + y²) 计算。
Vectors can be added by summing corresponding components: a⃗ + b⃗ = (x₁+x₂, y₁+y₂). Scalar multiplication scales the vector: k a⃗ = (kx, ky). The zero vector 0⃗ has zero magnitude and no direction.
向量的加法通过对应分量相加实现：a⃗ + b⃗ = (x₁+x₂, y₁+y₂)。数乘则缩放向量：k a⃗ = (kx, ky)。零向量 0⃗ 的模长为零且无方向。
In geometry problems, vectors are used to show that lines are parallel (one vector is a scalar multiple of another) or collinear (points lie on the same straight line). Expressing a vector in terms of given ones using the triangle or parallelogram law is a key skill.
在几何题中，向量可用于证明直线平行（一个向量为另一向量的数乘）或三点共线（点在同一直线上）。利用三角形法则或平行四边形法则，将某向量用给定向量表示是一项核心技能。
9. Probability and Statistics | 概率与统计
Probability measures the chance of an event occurring, with a value between 0 and 1. For equally likely outcomes, P(A) = number of favourable outcomes / total number of outcomes. The probability that A does not occur is P(A’) = 1 – P(A).
概率衡量事件发生的可能性，其值介于 0 与 1 之间。对于等可能结果，P(A) = 有利结果数 / 总结果数。A 不发生的概率为 P(A’) = 1 – P(A)。
Tree diagrams are used to list outcomes for multi-stage events and to calculate probabilities of combined events using multiplication along branches and adding for mutually exclusive branches. Conditional probability P(A|B) is the probability of A occurring given that B has already occurred.
树状图用于列举多阶段试验的所有结果，并沿分支相乘、互斥分支相加来计算组合事件的概率。条件概率 P(A|B) 表示在 B 已发生的前提下 A 发生的概率。
In statistics, the mean, median, mode, and range summarise data. The interquartile range (IQR) is a measure of spread that is resistant to outliers. Histograms with equal class widths display grouped continuous data; frequency density = frequency / class width.
在统计学中，平均数、中位数、众数和极差用于概括数据。四分位距 (IQR) 是一种不受极端值影响的离散度量。使用等组距的直方图可以展示分组连续数据；频率密度 = 频数 / 组距。
Mean = Σx / n, IQR = Q₃ – Q₁
