1. Algebraic Manipulation | 代数运算
A solid command of algebraic techniques is essential. You must be able to factorise quadratic expressions such as ax² + bx + c, recognise the difference of two squares a² − b² = (a+b)(a−b), and complete the square to rewrite expressions in the form a(x+p)² + q.
扎实的代数运算能力是基础。你必须能够因式分解二次式，例如 ax² + bx + c，识别平方差公式 a² − b² = (a+b)(a−b)，并能够配方，将表达式写成 a(x+p)² + q 的形式。
Simplify rational expressions by cancelling common factors, and handle algebraic fractions through addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division, always stating any restrictions on the variable (e.g., denominators cannot be zero).
通过约去公因式来化简有理式，并熟练进行代数分式的加、减、乘、除运算，同时务必注明变量的限制条件（例如分母不能为零）。
Apply the laws of indices for all rational exponents: aᵐ × aⁿ = aᵐ⁺ⁿ, aᵐ ÷ aⁿ = aᵐ⁻ⁿ, (aᵐ)ⁿ = aᵐⁿ, and a⁻ⁿ = 1/aⁿ. Be comfortable rewriting surds and using exponents such as a½ = √a and a¾ = (³√a)⁴.
运用所有有理指数下的指数定律：aᵐ × aⁿ = aᵐ⁺ⁿ，aᵐ ÷ aⁿ = aᵐ⁻ⁿ，(aᵐ)ⁿ = aᵐⁿ，以及 a⁻ⁿ = 1/aⁿ。能够熟练改写根式并使用分数指数，例如 a½ = √a 和 a¾ = (³√a)⁴。
2. Functions and Graphs | 函数与图像
Use function notation f(x), find the domain and range, and form composite functions f(g(x)) and inverse functions f⁻¹(x). Remember that the inverse exists only if the function is one-to-one on its domain, and its graph is a reflection of f(x) in the line y = x.
使用函数符号 f(x)，确定定义域与值域，构造复合函数 f(g(x)) 和反函数 f⁻¹(x)。记住，只有当函数在其定义域上是一一映射时，反函数才存在，且其图像是 f(x) 关于直线 y = x 的反射。
Understand graph transformations: y = f(x) + a translates vertically, y = f(x + a) translates horizontally, y = −f(x) reflects in the x-axis, and y = f(−x) reflects in the y-axis. Stretches are given by y = a f(x) (vertical stretch by factor a) and y = f(ax) (horizontal stretch by factor 1/a).
理解图像的变换：y = f(x) + a 为垂直平移，y = f(x + a) 为水平平移，y = −f(x) 关于 x 轴反射，y = f(−x) 关于 y 轴反射。伸缩变换则由 y = a f(x)（垂直方向拉伸 a 倍）和 y = f(ax)（水平方向拉伸 1/a 倍）给出。
Sketch graphs of key functions: quadratic (y = ax²+bx+c), cubic (y = ax³), reciprocal (y = a/x), exponential (y = aˣ for a>0), and trigonometric functions (y = sin x, cos x, tan x). Interpret intersections of graphs as solutions to equations.
绘制核心函数的简图：二次函数 (y = ax²+bx+c)、三次函数 (y = ax³)、倒数函数 (y = a/x)、指数函数 (y = aˣ，a>0) 以及三角函数 (y = sin x, cos x, tan x)。将图像的交点解释为方程的解。
3. Coordinate Geometry | 坐标几何
Find the gradient of a straight line as m = (y₂ − y₁)/(x₂ − x₁), the distance between two points using √[(x₂ − x₁)² + (y₂ − y₁)²], and the midpoint as ((x₁+x₂)/2, (y₁+y₂)/2). The equation of a line can be written as y = mx + c, y − y₁ = m(x − x₁), or ax + by + c = 0.
计算直线的斜率 m = (y₂ − y₁)/(x₂ − x₁)，两点间的距离使用 √[(x₂ − x₁)² + (y₂ − y₁)²]，中点坐标为 ((x₁+x₂)/2, (y₁+y₂)/2)。直线方程可以写成 y = mx + c，y − y₁ = m(x − x₁) 或 ax + by + c = 0。
The equation of a circle with centre (a, b) and radius r is (x − a)² + (y − b)² = r². Find the tangent and normal to a circle at a given point by using the fact that a radius meets a tangent at 90°; hence the product of their gradients is −1.
圆心为 (a, b)、半径为 r 的圆的方程为 (x − a)² + (y − b)² = r²。利用半径与切线垂直（即斜率乘积为 −1）这一性质，求出圆上给定点处的切线和法线方程。
Solve intersection problems between lines and circles, and recognise the discriminant condition for tangency (discriminant = 0 after substituting the line equation into the circle).
解决直线与圆的交点问题，并识别相切的判别式条件（将直线方程代入圆的方程后，判别式 Δ = 0）。
4. Sequences and Series | 数列与级数
Recognise arithmetic sequences where each term differs from the previous by a constant difference d. The nth term is uₙ = a + (n−1)d, and the sum of the first n terms is Sₙ = n/2 [2a + (n−1)d] or Sₙ = n/2 (a + l), where l is the last term.
识别等差数列，其中每一项与前一项的差为常数 d。第 n 项为 uₙ = a + (n−1)d，前 n 项和为 Sₙ = n/2 [2a + (n−1)d] 或 Sₙ = n/2 (a + l)，其中 l 为最后一项。
In a geometric sequence, each term is multiplied by a constant ratio r. The nth term is uₙ = arⁿ⁻¹, and the sum of the first n terms (r ≠ 1) is Sₙ = a(1 − rⁿ)/(1 − r). For |r| < 1, an infinite geometric series converges to a/(1 − r).
在等比数列中，每一项乘以常数公比 r。第 n 项为 uₙ = arⁿ⁻¹，前 n 项和（r ≠ 1）为 Sₙ = a(1 − rⁿ)/(1 − r)。当 |r| < 1 时，无穷等比级数收敛于 a/(1 − r)。
Use sigma notation Σ to represent series efficiently, and solve problems involving compound interest, population growth, and other real-life sequences.
有效使用求和符号 Σ 表达级数，并解决涉及复利、人口增长以及其他实际数列的应用题。
5. Trigonometry | 三角学
Work comfortably with degree and radian measure: π radians = 180°. Exact values of sin, cos, and tan for angles 0, 30°, 45°, 60°, 90° must be memorised, along with their radian equivalents.
熟练运用角度和弧度制：π 弧度 = 180°。必须熟记 0、30°、45°、60°、90° 这些特殊角的正弦、余弦和正切的精确值，以及它们对应的弧度。
Apply the sine rule: a/sin A = b/sin B = c/sin C (or sin A/a = sin B/b = sin C/c) and the cosine rule: a² = b² + c² − 2bc cos A. The area of any triangle is given by ½ ab sin C.
运用正弦定理：a/sin A = b/sin B = c/sin C（或 sin A/a = sin B/b = sin C/c）和余弦定理：a² = b² + c² − 2bc cos A。任意三角形的面积公式为 ½ ab sin C。
Prove and use trigonometric identities such as sin²θ + cos²θ = 1 and tan θ = sin θ / cos θ. Solve trigonometric equations within a specified interval, considering multiple solutions and the periodic nature of the functions.
证明并使用三角恒等式，如 sin²θ + cos²θ = 1 和 tan θ = sin θ / cos θ。在给定区间内解三角方程，要考虑多解以及函数的周期性。
6. Exponentials and Logarithms | 指数与对数
Understand the exponential function eˣ and the natural logarithm ln x as its inverse; thus e^(ln x) = x and ln(eˣ) = x. The general exponential function aˣ can be written as e^(x ln a).
理解指数函数 eˣ 及其反函数自然对数 ln x；因此有 e^(ln x) = x 和 ln(eˣ) = x。一般的指数函数 aˣ 可以写成 e^(x ln a)。
Master the laws of logarithms: logₐ(xy) = logₐ x + logₐ y, logₐ(x/y) = logₐ x − logₐ y, and logₐ(xⁿ) = n logₐ x. These are essential for simplifying expressions and solving equations.
掌握对数定律：logₐ(xy) = logₐ x + logₐ y，logₐ(x/y) = logₐ x − logₐ y，以及 logₐ(xⁿ) = n logₐ x。这些定律对化简表达式和解方程至关重要。
Solve equations of the form aˣ = b by taking logarithms of both sides, and solve equations involving logs by combining terms and converting to exponential form.
通过对等式两边取对数来求解形如 aˣ = b 的方程，并通过合并项并转化为指数形式求解含有对数式的方程。
7. Differentiation | 微分
Differentiate powers of x: if f(x) = xⁿ, then f'(x) = nxⁿ⁻¹. This rule extends to sums and constant multiples: (af(x) + bg(x))’ = a f'(x) + b g'(x).
对 x 的幂函数进行微分：若 f(x) = xⁿ，则 f'(x) = nxⁿ⁻¹。该法则可推广到和式与常数倍：(af(x) + bg(x))’ = a f'(x) + b g'(x)。
Find equations of tangents and normals to curves. The gradient of the tangent at x = a is f'(a); the normal gradient is −1/f'(a). Use differentiation to locate stationary points, and determine their nature (maximum, minimum, or point of inflection) using the second derivative or a sign table.
求出曲线的切线和法线方程。在 x = a 处切线的斜率为 f'(a)；法线斜率为 −1/f'(a)。运用微分求驻点，并利用二阶导数或符号表判断其性质（极大值、极小值或拐点）。
Solve practical optimisation problems by setting up a function for the quantity to be maximised or minimised and applying differentiation and stationary points.
通过建立需要最大化或最小化的量的函数，并运用微分和驻点，解决实际最优化问题。
8. Integration | 积分
Integration is the reverse process of differentiation. For n ≠ −1, ∫ xⁿ dx = xⁿ⁺¹/(n+1) + C, where C is the constant of integration. Remember the special case ∫ x⁻¹ dx = ln |x| + C.
积分是微分的逆运算。当 n ≠ −1 时，∫ xⁿ dx = xⁿ⁺¹/(n+1) + C，其中 C 为积分常数。记住特殊情况 ∫ x⁻¹ dx = ln |x| + C。
Evaluate definite integrals: ∫ₐᵇ f(x) dx = F(b) − F(a), where F is an antiderivative of f. This value represents the signed area between the curve and the x‑axis from x = a to x = b; areas below the axis count as negative unless specifically handled.
计算定积分：∫ₐᵇ f(x) dx = F(b) − F(a)，其中 F 是 f 的一个原函数。该值表示在 x = a 到 x = b 之间曲线与 x 轴围成的有向面积；x 轴下方的面积计为负值，除非特别处理。

9. Matrices | 矩阵
A matrix is a rectangular array of numbers. Addition and subtraction are elementwise for matrices of the same dimensions. Scalar multiplication multiplies every element by the scalar.
矩阵是一个数字的矩形阵列。相同维数的矩阵可以进行逐元素的加减运算。标量乘法将每个元素乘以该标量。
Matrix multiplication AB is defined only if the number of columns in A equals the number of rows in B. The element in row i, column j of AB is the sum of products of corresponding entries from row i of A and column j of B. Matrix multiplication is not commutative in general.
矩阵乘法 AB 仅在 A 的列数等于 B 的行数时才有定义。AB 的第 i 行第 j 列元素是 A 的第 i 行与 B 的第 j 列对应元素乘积之和。矩阵乘法一般不满足交换律。
For a 2×2 matrix M = [a, b; c, d], the determinant is det M = ad − bc. The inverse M⁻¹ exists only if det M ≠ 0, and is given by M⁻¹ = 1/(ad−bc) [d, −b; −c, a]. Use inverse matrices to solve simultaneous linear equations in the form Mx = y ⇒ x = M⁻¹y.
对于 2×2 矩阵 M = [a, b; c, d]，其行列式为 det M = ad − bc。仅当 det M ≠ 0 时逆矩阵 M⁻¹ 才存在，且 M⁻¹ = 1/(ad−bc) [d, −b; −c, a]。利用逆矩阵求解形如 Mx = y 的联立线性方程组，即 x = M⁻¹y。
10. Vectors | 向量
Vectors represent quantities with both magnitude and direction. They can be written in column form (x, y) or as xi + yj. Addition and subtraction of vectors are carried out componentwise, and multiplication by a scalar scales each component.
向量表示既有大小又有方向的量。它们可以写成列向量形式 (x, y) 或 xi + yj。向量的加法和减法按分量进行，标量乘法则缩放每个分量。
Calculate the magnitude of a vector v = (x, y) as |v| = √(x² + y²). The dot (scalar) product of two vectors a · b = a₁b₁ + a₂b₂ = |a||b| cos θ, where θ is the angle between them. Use this to find the angle between two vectors or to test perpendicularity (a · b = 0).
计算向量 v = (x, y) 的模：|v| = √(x² + y²)。两个向量的点积（标量积）为 a · b = a₁b₁ + a₂b₂ = |a||b| cos θ，其中 θ 为两向量的夹角。可用此求夹角或检验垂直关系（a · b = 0）。
Apply vectors to pure geometry problems, such as proving that three points are collinear or finding the ratio in which a point divides a line segment.
将向量应用于纯粹的几何问题，例如证明三点共线，或求一点分割线段的比例。
11. Inequalities | 不等式
Solve linear inequalities and represent the solution set on a number line, using open or closed circles to indicate strict (<, >) or inclusive (≤, ≥) bounds. When multiplying or dividing by a negative number, the inequality sign reverses.
解线性不等式并用数轴表示解集，使用空心或实心圆点表示严格（<, >）或包含等号（≤, ≥）的边界。乘或除以负数时，不等号方向须改变。
Solve quadratic inequalities by first finding the critical values where the quadratic equals zero, then constructing a sign diagram or sketching the graph to determine the intervals where the inequality holds.
解二次不等式时，首先求出二次式等于零的临界值，然后构造符号表或绘制草图，从而确定使不等式成立的区间。

将二元一次不等式表示为坐标平面上的区域。根据一组约束条件确定可行域，并通过测试顶点最大化或最小化目标函数来解决线性规划问题。
12. Binomial Expansion and Numerical Methods | 二项展开式与数值方法
Expand (1 + x)ⁿ for rational n using the binomial theorem: (1 + x)ⁿ = 1 + nx + n(n−1)/2! x² + n(n−1)(n−2)/3! x³ + … The expansion is valid for |x| < 1 when n is not a positive integer. Use this to find approximations for powers and roots.
使用二项式定理展开 (1 + x)ⁿ（n 为有理数）：(1 + x)ⁿ = 1 + nx + n(n−1)/2! x² + n(n−1)(n−2)/3! x³ + …。当 n 不是正整数时，该展开在 |x| < 1 时有效。可利用此式求幂和根的近似值。
Locate roots of equations using sign-change methods, and apply iterative formulae of the form xₙ₊₁ = g(xₙ) to find approximations correct to a specified number of decimal places. Understand staircase and cobweb diagrams to illustrate convergence.
利用符号变化法定位方程的根，并应用形如 xₙ₊₁ = g(xₙ) 的迭代公式，求出精确到指定小数位数的近似解。理解用阶梯图和蛛网图来说明收敛性。
Be systematic: always rearrange the equation into a suitable iterative form, choose an initial guess x₀, and iterate until the required accuracy is achieved, checking that the root indeed converges.
务求条理化：始终将方程整理成合适的迭代形式，选取初始猜测值 x₀，然后反复迭代直到达到所需精度，并核实该根确实收敛。
