1. Complex Numbers | 复数
A complex number is of the form z = x + iy, where x, y are real and i² = −1. The real part is Re(z) = x, the imaginary part Im(z) = y, and the complex conjugate is z* = x − iy. Complex numbers can be represented on an Argand diagram with the x-axis as the real axis and the y-axis as the imaginary axis.
复数具有形式 z = x + iy，其中 x, y 为实数，且 i² = −1。实部 Re(z) = x，虚部 Im(z) = y，共轭复数 z* = x − iy。复数可用阿冈图表示，横轴为实轴，纵轴为虚轴。
The modulus of z is |z| = √(x² + y²), which gives the distance from the origin to the point (x, y). The argument, arg(z) = θ, satisfies tan θ = y/x, with the quadrant determined by the signs of x and y. Two complex numbers are added by adding real and imaginary parts separately; multiplication follows the rule (a+bi)(c+di) = (ac−bd) + (ad+bc)i.
模长 |z| = √(x² + y²) 表示原点到点 (x, y) 的距离。辐角 arg(z) = θ 满足 tan θ = y/x，象限由 x 和 y 的符号决定。两复数相加时实部与虚部分别相加；乘法按 (a+bi)(c+di) = (ac−bd) + (ad+bc)i 展开。
De Moivre’s theorem: (cos θ + i sin θ)ⁿ = cos(nθ) + i sin(nθ)
棣莫弗定理: (cos θ + i sin θ)ⁿ = cos(nθ) + i sin(nθ)
Using De Moivre’s theorem, we can find nth roots of unity. The equation zⁿ = 1 has n distinct roots given by zk = cos(2πk/n) + i sin(2πk/n) for k = 0, 1, …, n−1. These roots lie on the unit circle and are equally spaced around it.
利用棣莫弗定理可求 1 的 n 次方根。方程 zⁿ = 1 有 n 个不同的根：zk = cos(2πk/n) + i sin(2πk/n)，其中 k = 0, 1, …, n−1。这些根均匀分布在单位圆上。
2. Algebra and Functions: Roots of Polynomials | 代数与函数：多项式的根
For a quadratic equation ax² + bx + c = 0 with roots α and β, the sum of roots α+β = −b/a and the product αβ = c/a. For a cubic equation ax³ + bx² + cx + d = 0 with roots α, β, γ, the relationships are Σα = −b/a, Σαβ = c/a, and αβγ = −d/a. These symmetric sums allow us to find expressions like α²+β² without solving the equation.
对于二次方程 ax² + bx + c = 0 具有根 α 和 β，根之和 α+β = −b/a，根之积 αβ = c/a。对于三次方程 ax³ + bx² + cx + d = 0 具有根 α, β, γ，关系式为 Σα = −b/a，Σαβ = c/a，αβγ = −d/a。利用这些对称和可以在不解方程的情况下计算如 α²+β² 的表达式。
Partial fractions decompose rational functions into simpler sums. Key cases include distinct linear factors: 1/[(x−a)(x−b)] = A/(x−a) + B/(x−b); repeated factors: 1/(x−a)² = A/(x−a) + B/(x−a)²; and quadratic factors: 1/[(x²+a²)(x−b)] = (Ax+B)/(x²+a²) + C/(x−b). This technique is essential for integration and series expansions.
部分分式将有理函数分解为更简单的和。主要情形包括：不同的线性因式 1/[(x−a)(x−b)] = A/(x−a) + B/(x−b)；重因式 1/(x−a)² = A/(x−a) + B/(x−a)²；二次因式 1/[(x²+a²)(x−b)] = (Ax+B)/(x²+a²) + C/(x−b)。该技巧对积分和级数展开至关重要。
Solving inequalities involving rational functions often requires a sign table. For example, (x−1)/(x+2) > 0 is solved by identifying critical values at x = 1 and x = −2, then testing intervals. Always exclude values that make the denominator zero.
求解含分式的不等式通常需要符号表。例如 (x−1)/(x+2) > 0，先找出临界值 x = 1 和 x = −2，再检验各区间。务必排除使分母为零的值。
3. Matrices and Transformations | 矩阵与变换
A 2×2 matrix M = [a b; c d] represents a linear transformation in the plane. The determinant det(M) = ad − bc gives the area scale factor. If det(M) = 0, the transformation is singular and maps points onto a line or a point. The inverse matrix M⁻¹ = 1/(ad−bc)[d −b; −c a] exists only when the determinant is non-zero.
2×2 矩阵 M = [a b; c d] 表示平面上的线性变换。行列式 det(M) = ad − bc 给出面积缩放因子。若 det(M) = 0，变换是奇异的，将点映射到一条直线或一个点上。逆矩阵 M⁻¹ = 1/(ad−bc)[d −b; −c a] 仅在行列式不为零时存在。
Matrix multiplication corresponds to composition of transformations: applying A followed by B gives the matrix BA (note the order). Common transformation matrices include rotation by θ: [cosθ −sinθ; sinθ cosθ]; reflection in the x-axis: [1 0; 0 −1]; and stretch parallel to axes: [k 0; 0 l].
矩阵乘法对应变换的复合：先应用 A 再应用 B 得到矩阵 BA（注意顺序）。常见变换矩阵有旋转 θ 角：[cosθ −sinθ; sinθ cosθ]；对 x 轴反射：[1 0; 0 −1]；沿坐标轴拉伸：[k 0; 0 l]。
Points are transformed by writing them as column vectors and multiplying on the left. The image of the unit square, whose vertices are (0,0), (1,0), (0,1), determines the transformation matrix when known points are given.
点通过写成列向量并左乘矩阵进行变换。单位正方形的顶点为 (0,0), (1,0), (0,1)，若已知像点则可确定变换矩阵。
4. Further Vectors | 进阶向量
In three dimensions, vectors are written as ai + bj + ck. The scalar product a·b = |a||b|cosθ = a₁b₁ + a₂b₂ + a₃b₃ is used to find angles and test perpendicularity. The vector product a×b gives a vector perpendicular to both a and b, with magnitude |a||b|sinθ and direction given by the right-hand rule.
三维空间中，向量写作 ai + bj + ck。标量积 a·b = |a||b|cosθ = a₁b₁ + a₂b₂ + a₃b₃ 用于求夹角和判断垂直。向量积 a×b 给出同时垂直于 a 和 b 的向量，模长为 |a||b|sinθ，方向由右手定则确定。
A straight line can be written as r = a + λd, where a is a position vector on the line and d is a direction vector. A plane has equation r·n = p, where n is a normal vector and p = a·n for any point a on the plane. Alternatively, a plane can be expressed as r = a + λu + μv.
直线可表示为 r = a + λd，其中 a 是直线上一点的位置向量，d 是方向向量。平面方程为 r·n = p，n 为法向量，p = a·n 为平面上任一点 a 的点积。平面也可表示为 r = a + λu + μv。
Distances can be found using vector projections. The shortest distance from a point to a line is |(AP)×d|/|d|; from a point to a plane it is |(AP)·n|/|n|, where A is a point on the line or plane and P is the point of interest.
利用向量投影可求距离。点到直线的最短距离为 |(AP)×d|/|d|；点到平面的最短距离为 |(AP)·n|/|n|，其中 A 是直线或平面上一点，P 为所关注的点。
5. Polar Coordinates | 极坐标
In polar coordinates, a point is given by (r, θ), where r is the distance from the origin and θ is the angle measured from the positive x-axis. Conversion to Cartesian uses x = r cosθ, y = r sinθ. The reverse is r = √(x²+y²), θ = arctan(y/x) with care over the quadrant.
极坐标系中，点表示为 (r, θ)，r 为到原点的距离，θ 为从正 x 轴量起的角度。转换为直角坐标用 x = r cosθ，y = r sinθ。反变换为 r = √(x²+y²)，θ = arctan(y/x) 并注意象限。
Graphs of polar equations r = f(θ) produce curves such as circles (r = a), cardioids (r = a(1+cosθ)), and roses (r = a cos(3θ)). Symmetry and key values of θ help in sketching. Some curves require considering negative r as points in the opposite direction.
极坐标方程 r = f(θ) 的图形可产生圆 (r = a)、心脏线 (r = a(1+cosθ))、玫瑰线 (r = a cos(3θ)) 等曲线。利用对称性和关键 θ 值有助于作图。某些曲线需考虑负 r 表示相反方向的点。
Area enclosed by a polar curve: A = ½∫αβ r² dθ
极曲线围成的面积：A = ½∫αβ r² dθ
To find the area of a loop or region, set up the integral with the appropriate limits determined by where r = 0 or by symmetry. The formula is derived from the sum of infinitesimal circular sectors.
求环绕区域面积时，根据 r = 0 或对称性确定积分限。该公式由无穷小扇形累加导出。
6. Hyperbolic Functions | 双曲函数
Hyperbolic functions are defined in terms of exponentials: sinh x = (eˣ − e⁻ˣ)/2, cosh x = (eˣ + e⁻ˣ)/2, and tanh x = sinh x / cosh x. Their graphs resemble but differ from trigonometric functions; cosh x is an even function with minimum 1 at x = 0, while sinh x is odd and passes through the origin.
双曲函数用指数函数定义：sinh x = (eˣ − e⁻ˣ)/2，cosh x = (eˣ + e⁻ˣ)/2，tanh x = sinh x / cosh x。它们的图形与三角函数相似但不同；cosh x 为偶函数，在 x = 0 处最小值为 1，sinh x 为奇函数且过原点。
Key identities include cosh² x − sinh² x = 1, sinh 2x = 2 sinh x cosh x, and cosh 2x = cosh² x + sinh² x. These mirror trigonometric identities but with sign differences. The inverse hyperbolic functions arsinh, arcosh and artanh are logarithmic forms and often arise in integration.
重要恒等式包括 cosh² x − sinh² x = 1，sinh 2x = 2 sinh x cosh x，cosh 2x = cosh² x + sinh² x。它们在结构上类似三角恒等式但符号有别。反双曲函数 arsinh、arcosh、artanh 具有对数形式，常出现在积分中。
Derivatives: d/dx (sinh x) = cosh x, d/dx (cosh x) = sinh x, d/dx (tanh x) = sech² x. These differentiation rules are straightforward and lead to standard integrals such as ∫ 1/√(x²+a²) dx = arsinh(x/a) + c.
导数公式：d/dx (sinh x) = cosh x，d/dx (cosh x) = sinh x，d/dx (tanh x) = sech² x。这些求导规则简单，能推出标准积分如 ∫ 1/√(x²+a²) dx = arsinh(x/a) + c。
7. Sequences and Series | 数列与级数
Maclaurin series expand a function as an infinite polynomial: f(x) = f(0) + f'(0)x + f”(0)x²/2! + f”'(0)x³/3! + … . Standard expansions include eˣ = Σn=0∞ xⁿ/n!, sin x = x − x³/3! + x⁵/5! − …, and ln(1+x) = x − x²/2 + x³/3 − … for −1 < x ≤ 1.
麦克劳林级数将函数展开为无限多项式：f(x) = f(0) + f'(0)x + f”(0)x²/2! + f”'(0)x³/3! + … 。标准展开有 eˣ = Σn=0∞ xⁿ/n!，sin x = x − x³/3! + x⁵/5! − …，以及 ln(1+x) = x − x²/2 + x³/3 − …（−1 < x ≤ 1）。
The binomial series for (1+x)α, where α is any real number, is 1 + αx + α(α−1)x²/2! + α(α−1)(α−2)x³/3! + … . When |x| < 1, the series converges for all α; if α is a positive integer, the series terminates. This generalises the binomial theorem to fractional and negative powers.
(1+x)α 的二项级数展开（α 为任意实数）为 1 + αx + α(α−1)x²/2! + α(α−1)(α−2)x³/3! + … 。当 |x| < 1 时对所有 α 收敛；若 α 为正整数，级数有限。该展开将二项式定理推广到分数次幂和负幂。Published by TutorHao | AS 进阶数学 Revision Series | aleveler.com
