1. Algebraic Techniques | 代数技巧
Year 13 algebra extends your Year 12 toolkit with partial fractions, binomial expansions for rational exponents, and sophisticated manipulation of rational functions.
13年级代数为12年级的知识库增添了部分分式、有理指数二项式展开以及对有理函数的复杂操作。
Partial fractions allow a complicated rational function to be expressed as a sum of simpler fractions, which is especially useful in integration. Common forms include A/(ax + b) for distinct linear factors, and a combination such as A/(ax + b) + B/(ax + b)² for repeated linear factors. Irreducible quadratic factors lead to terms of the form (Ax + B)/(ax² + bx + c).
部分分式可将复杂的有理函数表示为简单分式之和，这在积分中尤其有用。常见形式包括对于不同线性因子的 A/(ax + b)，以及对于重复线性因子的组合如 A/(ax + b) + B/(ax + b)²。不可约二次因子则产生 (Ax + B)/(ax² + bx + c) 形式的项。
The binomial expansion for (1 + x)ⁿ, where n is a rational number, is given by 1 + nx + n(n-1)x²/2! + n(n-1)(n-2)x³/3! + … and is valid only when |x| < 1. This expansion is vital for approximating functions and integrating expressions that cannot otherwise be handled.
二项式展开 (1 + x)ⁿ（n为有理数）形式为 1 + nx + n(n-1)x²/2! + n(n-1)(n-2)x³/3! + …，仅在 |x| < 1 时成立。该展开式对于近似函数以及处理难以直接积分的表达式至关重要。
2. Functions and Graphs | 函数与图像
Understanding modulus functions, composite functions, inverse functions, and graph transformations is fundamental in Year 13 pure mathematics.
理解模函数、复合函数、反函数以及图像变换是13年级纯数的基础。
The modulus function |x| is defined as x when x ≥ 0 and -x when x < 0. Equations and inequalities involving |f(x)| or |ax + b| are often solved by considering the separate cases or by squaring both sides carefully.
模函数 |x| 定义为当 x ≥ 0 时为 x，当 x < 0 时为 -x。涉及 |f(x)| 或 |ax + b| 的方程与不等式通常通过分类讨论或谨慎地平方两边来求解。
Composite functions gf(x) mean applying f first, then g. Inverses f⁻¹(x) exist only if the function is one-to-one on the given domain. Their graphs are reflections in the line y = x. Transformations such as y = f(x) + a, y = f(x + a), y = af(x) and y = f(ax) translate or stretch the graph of f(x).
复合函数 gf(x) 表示先作用 f 再作用 g。反函数 f⁻¹(x) 仅当函数在给定定义域内是一一映射时才存在，其图像关于直线 y = x 对称。变换诸如 y = f(x) + a、y = f(x + a)、y = af(x) 和 y = f(ax) 分别表示对 f(x) 图像的平移或伸缩。
3. Trigonometric Functions | 三角函数
Year 13 trigonometry moves beyond sine, cosine and tangent to introduce secant (sec), cosecant (cosec), cotangent (cot), radians, and powerful identities such as the double-angle and R-formula.
13年级三角学在正弦、余弦和正切的基础上引入了正割（sec）、余割（cosec）、余切（cot）、弧度制以及诸如倍角公式和R公式等强大的恒等式。
Radian measure links angle directly to arc length s = rθ and sector area A = ½r²θ. Exact values of trigonometric ratios for angles like π/6, π/4, π/3 should be memorised.
弧度制将角度与弧长 s = rθ 和扇形面积 A = ½r²θ 直接关联。诸如π/6、π/4、π/3等特殊角的三角函数精确值需牢记。
Basic identities include 1 + tan²θ = sec²θ and 1 + cot²θ = cosec²θ. Double-angle formulas such as sin2θ = 2sinθcosθ and cos2θ = cos²θ − sin²θ = 2cos²θ − 1 = 1 − 2sin²θ are used extensively. The R-formula expresses a sinθ ± b cosθ as R sin(θ ± α) or R cos(θ ∓ α), where R = √(a² + b²) and α = arctan(b/a) appropriately.
基本恒等式包括 1 + tan²θ = sec²θ 和 1 + cot²θ = cosec²θ。倍角公式如 sin2θ = 2sinθcosθ 以及 cos2θ = cos²θ − sin²θ = 2cos²θ − 1 = 1 − 2sin²θ 被广泛使用。R公式可将 a sinθ ± b cosθ 表示为 R sin(θ ± α) 或 R cos(θ ∓ α)，其中 R = √(a² + b²)，α 相应取 arctan(b/a)。
4. Exponential and Logarithmic Functions | 指数与对数函数
The natural exponential function eˣ and its inverse, the natural logarithm ln x, are central to calculus and modelling growth and decay.
自然指数函数 eˣ 及其反函数自然对数 ln x 是微积分以及增长与衰减建模的核心。
The derivative of eˣ is eˣ itself, and d/dx (eᵏˣ) = keᵏˣ. For ln x, d/dx (ln x) = 1/x. Integrals follow the reverse pattern: ∫ eˣ dx = eˣ + C, ∫ 1/x dx = ln|x| + C. The laws of logarithms, such as ln(ab) = ln a + ln b, combine with these derivatives in solving equations and integrals.
eˣ 的导数就是它本身，且 d/dx (eᵏˣ) = keᵏˣ。对于 ln x，有 d/dx (ln x) = 1/x。积分则遵循相反的模式：∫ eˣ dx = eˣ + C，∫ 1/x dx = ln|x| + C。对数运算法则，如 ln(ab) = ln a + ln b，与这些导数结合用于解方程和计算积分。
Exponential models describe situations such as population growth P = P₀eᵏᵼ or radioactive decay. Interpreting the growth constant k and using logarithms to linearise data are examinable skills.
指数模型可用于描述如人口增长 P = P₀eᵏᵼ 或放射性衰变等情形。解释增长常数 k 以及利用对数将数据线性化是考试中可考查的技能。
5. Differentiation Techniques | 微分技巧
Year 13 extends differentiation to encompass the chain rule, product rule, quotient rule, parametric differentiation, implicit differentiation, and connected rates of change.
13年级的微分扩展到链式法则、乘积法则、商法则、参数微分、隐函数微分以及相关变化率。
The chain rule dy/dx = dy/du × du/dx handles composite functions. The product rule: if y = uv, then dy/dx = u(dv/dx) + v(du/dx). The quotient rule: if y = u/v, then dy/dx = (v du/dx − u dv/dx)/v².
链式法则 dy/dx = dy/du × du/dx 处理复合函数。乘积法则：若 y = uv，则 dy/dx = u(dv/dx) + v(du/dx)。商法则：若 y = u/v，则 dy/dx = (v du/dx − u dv/dx)/v²。
| Function f(x) | Derivative f'(x) |
| xn | nxn-1 |
| sin x | cos x |
| cos x | −sin x |
| tan x | sec² x |
| ex | ex |
| ln x | 1/x |
Parametric differentiation uses dy/dx = (dy/dt) / (dx/dt). Implicit differentiation treats y as a function of x and differentiates term by term, adding dy/dx where needed. Second derivatives d²y/dx² provide information about concavity and points of inflection.
参数微分使用 dy/dx = (dy/dt) / (dx/dt)。隐函数微分将 y 视为 x 的函数，逐项求导并在需要时添加 dy/dx。二阶导数 d²y/dx² 提供关于凹凸性和拐点的信息。
6. Integration Techniques | 积分技巧
Integration in Year 13 becomes more powerful with substitution, integration by parts, standard integrals, and applications such as area between curves and solving differential equations.
13年级的积分通过换元积分、分部积分、标准积分以及如同曲线间面积和求解微分方程等应用而变得更加强大。
Integration by substitution reverses the chain rule: if a suitable substitution u = g(x) is chosen, the integral transforms to ∫ f(u) du. Common substitutions include u = ax + b, u = sin x, u = x² + a².
换元积分反转了链式法则：若选择合适的替换 u = g(x)，积分则转化为 ∫ f(u) du。常见的替换包括 u = ax + b、u = sin x、u = x² + a²。
Integration by parts is used for products of functions: ∫ u dv = uv − ∫ v du. It is crucial for integrals like ∫ x eˣ dx or ∫ x ln x dx. Area between two curves y = f(x) and y = g(x) from x = a to x = b is ∫ₐᵇ (upper − lower) dx. First-order separable differential equations are solved by separating variables and integrating both sides.
分部积分法用于函数乘积的积分：∫ u dv = uv − ∫ v du。这对诸如 ∫ x eˣ dx 或 ∫ x ln x dx 的积分至关重要。两条曲线 y = f(x) 和 y = g(x) 在 x = a 到 x = b 之间的面积是 ∫ₐᵇ (上方曲线 − 下方曲线) dx。一阶可分离微分方程通过分离变量并对两边积分求解。
7. Numerical Methods | 数值方法
When equations cannot be solved algebraically, numerical methods such as iteration and the Newton-Raphson method provide approximate solutions.
当方程无法用代数方法求解时，迭代法和牛顿-拉弗森法等数值方法可提供近似解。
The Newton-Raphson formula is xn+1 = xn − f(xn)/f'(xn). Starting from an initial guess x₀, it converges rapidly to a root. You must be able to apply it and understand cases where it may fail, such as when f'(xn) is zero.
牛顿-拉弗森公式为 xn+1 = xn − f(xn)/f'(xn)。从初始猜测值 x₀ 开始，它能快速收敛到一个根。你需要能够应用该公式并理解它可能失效的情况
