1. Complex Number Theory – Loci in the Argand Diagram | 复数理论 – 阿干特图中的轨迹
The modulus-argument form z = r(cos θ + i sin θ) underpins the geometric interpretation of complex numbers. Key loci include circles |z − a| = r, perpendicular bisectors |z − a| = |z − b|, and half-lines arg(z − a) = θ. Recognising these standard forms allows you to sketch regions and solve intersection problems without converting to Cartesian coordinates.
模−辐角形式 z = r(cos θ + i sin θ) 是复数几何解释的基础。重要的轨迹包括圆 |z − a| = r、垂直平分线 |z − a| = |z − b| 以及射线 arg(z − a) = θ。识别这些标准形式能让你在不转化为笛卡尔坐标的情况下绘制区域并求解交点问题。
When dealing with inequalities, shade the region indicated by the condition. For example, |z − (3 + 4i)| ≤ 5 describes a closed disc, while |z − i| > |z + 2| represents the half-plane closer to i. Practice transforming |z − a| = k|z − b| into a circle equation using the Cartesian method or by expanding |z|² = zz*.
处理不等式时，根据条件给区域涂上阴影。例如，|z − (3 + 4i)| ≤ 5 表示一个闭圆盘，而 |z − i| > |z + 2| 表示更靠近 i 的半平面。通过笛卡尔方法或展开 |z|² = zz*，练习将 |z − a| = k|z − b| 转化为圆的方程。
2. De Moivre’s Theorem and Applications | 棣莫弗定理及其应用
De Moivre’s theorem states (cos θ + i sin θ)ⁿ = cos nθ + i sin nθ for any rational n. This extends to zⁿ = rⁿ(cos nθ + i sin nθ) and is used to derive multiple-angle formulae, evaluate powers, and find nth roots of complex numbers. The exponential form z = reiθ often simplifies multiplication and division.
棣莫弗定理指出，对于任何有理数 n，有 (cos θ + i sin θ)ⁿ = cos nθ + i sin nθ。这可以推广为 zⁿ = rⁿ(cos nθ + i sin nθ)，并用于推导多倍角公式、计算幂以及求复数的 n 次方根。指数形式 z = reiθ 常常简化乘法和除法运算。
To solve zⁿ = w, express w in modulus-argument form and apply z = r1/n[cos((θ+2kπ)/n) + i sin((θ+2kπ)/n)] for k = 0,1,…,n−1. The nth roots of unity, obtained from zⁿ = 1, are e2πik/n. Their sum is zero, and they lie symmetrically on the unit circle.
求解 zⁿ = w 时，先将 w 表示为模−辐角形式，然后应用 z = r1/n[cos((θ+2kπ)/n) + i sin((θ+2kπ)/n)]，其中 k = 0,1,…,n−1。由 zⁿ = 1 得到的 n 次单位根为 e2πik/n，其和为 0，且对称地分布在单位圆上。
3. Series Summation and Method of Differences | 级数求和与差分法
Standard summations form the backbone of many problems: ∑r=1n r = ½ n(n+1), ∑r=1n r² = ⅙ n(n+1)(2n+1), and ∑r=1n r³ = ¼ n²(n+1)². These can be combined linearly to sum polynomial expressions. The method of differences applies when a term can be written as f(r) − f(r+1) or f(r) − f(r−1), leading to massive cancellation.
标准求和公式是许多问题的基础：∑r=1n r = ½ n(n+1)，∑r=1n r² = ⅙ n(n+1)(2n+1)，∑r=1n r³ = ¼ n²(n+1)²。这些公式可以线性组合，用于求多项式表达式的和。当一个项可以写成 f(r) − f(r+1) 或 f(r) − f(r−1) 的形式时，可以使用差分法，从而实现大量抵消。
For example, 1/(r(r+1)) = 1/r − 1/(r+1), so ∑r=1n 1/(r(r+1)) = 1 − 1/(n+1). Similarly, rational functions with quadratic denominators often split into partial fractions. Always write the final sum in a simplified closed form.
例如，1/(r(r+1)) = 1/r − 1/(r+1)，因此 ∑r=1n 1/(r(r+1)) = 1 − 1/(n+1)。类似地，分母为二次的有理函数通常可拆分为部分分式。务必把最终的和写成最简的封闭形式。
4. Further Calculus – Improper Integrals and Mean Value | 进阶微积分 – 反常积分与均值
Improper integrals arise when the interval is infinite or the integrand has a vertical asymptote. Evaluate ∫a∞ f(x) dx as limb→∞ ∫ab f(x) dx, and similarly for discontinuous integrands by approaching the singularity through a limit. The integral converges if the limit is finite; otherwise it diverges.
当积分区间无限或被积函数存在垂直渐近线时，就会出现反常积分。计算 ∫a∞ f(x) dx 时，取其作为 limb→∞ ∫ab f(x) dx；同样，对于有间断的被积函数，通过极限逼近奇点。如果极限有限，积分收敛；否则发散。
The mean value of f(x) over [a, b] is given by 1/(b−a) ∫ab f(x) dx, interpreted as the constant height that gives the same area. This concept often appears in applied contexts and links to the Mean Value Theorem.
函数 f(x) 在 [a, b] 上的平均值由 1/(b−a) ∫ab f(x) dx 给出，这可以解释为产生相同面积的常数高度。这一概念经常在实际应用中出现，并与中值定理相联系。
5. Polar Coordinates – Curves and Area | 极坐标 – 曲线与面积
A polar curve r = f(θ) is traced by varying θ. Common shapes include cardioids r = a(1 ± cos θ), limacons, and roses r = a cos nθ. The area enclosed by a polar curve between rays θ = α and θ = β is A = ½ ∫αβ r² dθ. Always square the r expression before integrating and use double-angle identities to handle trigonometric squaring.
极坐标曲线 r = f(θ) 通过改变 θ 描摹而成。常见形状包括心形线 r = a(1 ± cos θ)、蜗牛线和玫瑰线 r = a cos nθ。极坐标曲线在射线 θ = α 与 θ = β 之间所围成的面积为 A = ½ ∫αβ r² dθ。务必先对 r 表达式平方再积分，并利用倍角恒等式处理三角函数的平方。
Tangents to polar curves are found using x = r cos θ, y = r sin θ. The gradient dy/dx = (r′ sin θ + r cos θ)/(r′ cos θ − r sin θ), where r′ = dr/dθ. Parallels to the initial line (horizontal) occur where numerator = 0; parallels to the pole (vertical) where denominator = 0.
极坐标曲线的切线可通过 x = r cos θ, y = r sin θ 求得。梯度 dy/dx = (r′ sin θ + r cos θ)/(r′ cos θ − r sin θ)，其中 r′ = dr/dθ。平行于初始线的切线（水平）出现在分子为零时，平行于极轴的切线（垂直）出现在分母为零时。
6. Hyperbolic Functions – Definitions, Identities and Calculus | 双曲函数 – 定义、恒等式与微积分
Hyperbolic functions are defined via exponentials: sinh x = (eˣ − e⁻ˣ)/2, cosh x = (eˣ + e⁻ˣ)/2, tanh x = sinh x / cosh x. The fundamental identity is cosh²x − sinh²x = 1, from which others such as 1 − tanh²x = sech²x are derived. Osborne’s rule helps convert trigonometric identities: change sign of any product of two sines.
双曲函数通过指数定义：sinh x = (eˣ − e⁻ˣ)/2，cosh x = (eˣ + e⁻ˣ)/2，tanh x = sinh x / cosh x。基本恒等式为 cosh²x − sinh²x = 1，由此可推导出其他恒等式，如 1 − tanh²x = sech²x。奥斯本规则有助于转换三角恒等式：凡是出现两个正弦乘积的项，其符号要改变。
Derivatives: d/dx(sinh x) = cosh x, d/dx(cosh x) = sinh x, d/dx(tanh x) = sech²x. Integrals follow directly: ∫ sinh x dx = cosh x + C, ∫ cosh x dx = sinh x + C. Inverse hyperbolic functions have logarithmic forms: arsinh x = ln(x + √(x²+1)), arcosh x = ln(x + √(x²−1)), artanh x = ½ ln((1+x)/(1−x)). Their derivatives are 1/√(x²+1), 1/√(x²−1), 1/(1−x²) respectively.
导数：d/dx(sinh x) = cosh x，d/dx(cosh x) = sinh x，d/dx(tanh x) = sech²x。积分直接得出：∫ sinh x dx = cosh x + C，∫ cosh x dx = sinh x + C。反双曲函数具有对数形式：arsinh x = ln(x + √(x²+1))，arcosh x = ln(x + √(x²−1))，artanh x = ½ ln((1+x)/(1−x))。它们的导数分别为 1/√(x²+1)、1/√(x²−1) 和 1/(1−x²)。
7. First and Second Order Differential Equations | 一阶与二阶微分方程
A first-order linear ODE dy/dx + P(x)y = Q(x) is solved using an integrating factor I(x) = e∫ P dx. Multiply through by I, then the left-hand side becomes d/dx(Iy). Integrate both sides and apply initial conditions to find the constant. Always write y explicitly.
一阶线性常微分方程 dy/dx + P(x)y = Q(x) 可使用积分因子 I(x) = e∫ P dx 求解。将方程两端乘以 I，则左边变为 d/dx(Iy)。两边积分并代入初始条件即可求得常数。最后务必把 y 写成显式形式。
Second-order linear homogeneous equations with constant coefficients a d²y/dx² + b dy/dx + c y = 0 have characteristic equation am² + bm + c = 0. For distinct real roots m₁, m₂, the general solution is y = A em₁x + B em₂x; for a repeated root m, y = (A + Bx)emx; for complex roots p ± qi, y = epx(A cos qx + B sin qx).
常系数二阶线性齐次微分方程 a d²y/dx² + b dy/dx + c y = 0 的特征方程为 am² + bm + c = 0。若有两个不等的实根 m₁, m₂，通解为 y = A em₁x + B em₂x；若有重根 m，则 y = (A + Bx)emx；若有共轭复根 p ± qi，则 y = epx(A cos qx + B sin qx)。
For non-homogeneous equations, find a particular integral by trying a function of the same form as the RHS (polynomial, exponential, trigonometric, or a combination). If the trial form overlaps with the complementary function, multiply by x. The general solution is y = CF + PI.
对于非齐次方程，通过尝试与右边形式相同的函数（多项式、指数、三角函数或其组合）来求特解。如果尝试的函数形式与余函数重叠，则需乘以 x。通解为 y = CF + PI。
8. Matrices – Eigenvalues, Eigenvectors and Diagonalisation | 矩阵 – 特征值、特征向量与对角化
For an n × n matrix A, eigenvalues λ satisfy det(A − λI) = 0. Once λ is found, eigenvectors v are non-zero solutions to (A − λI)v = 0. These are fundamental in linear transformations, describing directions that remain unchanged (up to scaling) by the transformation.
对于 n × n 矩阵 A，特征值 λ 满足 det(A − λI) = 0。一旦求得 λ，特征向量 v 就是 (A − λI)v = 0 的非零解。它们在线性变换中至关重要，描述了经变换后方向不变（只发生缩放）的向量方向。
If a matrix has n linearly independent eigenvectors, it can be diagonalised: A = PDP⁻¹, where P is the matrix whose columns are eigenvectors, and D is the diagonal matrix of corresponding eigenvalues. Symmetric matrices are always diagonalisable and have orthogonal eigenvectors for distinct eigenvalues, allowing orthogonal diagonalisation P⁻¹ = Pᵀ.
如果一个矩阵有 n 个线性无关的特征向量，它就可以对角化：A = PDP⁻¹，其中 P 是以特征向量为列向量的矩阵，D 是由相应特征值构成的对角矩阵。对称矩阵总是可对角化的，并且对于不同的特征值有正交的特征向量，从而实现正交对角化 P⁻¹ = Pᵀ。
Powers of A simplify dramatically: Aᵏ = PDᵏP⁻¹. In systems of coupled differential equations, this technique is used to decouple the system.
矩阵的幂也因此大大简化：Aᵏ = PDᵏP⁻¹。在耦合微分方程组中，这一技巧可用来解耦系统。
9. Vectors in 3D – Planes and Distances | 三维向量 – 平面与距离
A plane can be expressed in vector form as r·n = d, where n is a normal vector, or as r = a + λb + μc. To find the equation from three points, form two direction vectors in the plane and take their cross product to obtain n. The Cartesian equation a x + b y + c z = d follows directly.
平面可以用向量形式表示为 r·n = d，其中 n 是法向量；或者表示为 r = a + λb + μc。要从三个点求平面方程，可构造平面内的两个方向向量，并求其叉积得到 n。由此可直接写出笛卡尔方程 a x + b y + c z = d。
The intersection of a line and a plane is found by substituting the line’s parametric equation into the plane equation and solving for the parameter. The shortest distance from a point with position vector a to the plane r·n = d is |a·n − d| / |n|. The angle between two planes is given by cos θ = |n₁·n₂|/(|n₁||n₂|).
求线与平面的交点，可将直线的参数方程代入平面方程，解出参数。点 a 到平面 r·n = d 的最短距离为 |a·n − d| / |n|。两平面之间的夹角由 cos θ = |n₁·n₂|/(|n₁||n₂|) 给出。
