1. Complex Numbers | 复数
A complex number is written as z = a + bi, where a and b are real numbers and i is the imaginary unit with i² = -1.
复数写作 z = a + bi，其中 a 与 b 为实数，i 为虚数单位，满足 i² = -1。
The complex conjugate is z* = a – bi. Conjugates are used to simplify division and reflect points across the real axis.
共轭复数为 z* = a – bi。共轭可用于简化除法，并反映点关于实轴的对称。
The modulus of z is |z| = √(a² + b²), giving the distance from the origin in the Argand diagram. The argument arg(z) is the angle θ measured from the positive real axis, taking the quadrant into account.
z 的模为 |z| = √(a² + b²)，表示在阿尔冈图上到原点的距离。辐角 arg(z) 是从正实轴测量的角度 θ，需考虑象限。
Using polar form z = r(cos θ + i sin θ) = r eⁱθ, multiplication and division become straightforward: multiply moduli, add arguments; divide moduli, subtract arguments.
利用极坐标形式 z = r(cos θ + i sin θ) = r eⁱθ，乘除运算变得简单：模相乘，辐角相加；模相除，辐角相减。
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
This theorem is fundamental for finding powers and roots of complex numbers. The n distinct nth roots of a complex number are equally spaced around a circle.
该定理是求复数幂与根的基础。一个复数的 n 个不同的 n 次根均匀分布在圆周上。
2. Matrices and Linear Transformations | 矩阵与线性变换
A matrix is a rectangular array of numbers. For 2×2 matrices, multiplication follows the row-by-column rule, and matrix multiplication is not commutative.
矩阵是数字的矩形阵列。2×2 矩阵乘法遵循行乘列规则，且矩阵乘法不满足交换律。
The determinant of a 2×2 matrix M = [[a,b],[c,d]] is det(M) = ad – bc. A non-zero determinant indicates the matrix is invertible.
2×2 矩阵 M = [[a,b],[c,d]] 的行列式为 det(M) = ad – bc。非零行列式表明矩阵可逆。
M⁻¹ = (1/det(M)) [[d, -b], [-c, a]] for det(M) ≠ 0
M⁻¹ = (1/det(M)) [[d, -b], [-c, a]]，当 det(M) ≠ 0
Matrices represent linear transformations: rotations, reflections, stretches, and shears. The image of a unit square helps visualise the transformation.
矩阵表示线性变换：旋转、反射、拉伸与剪切。单位正方形的像有助于视化变换。
To find eigenvalues λ and eigenvectors v, solve det(A – λI) = 0. Eigenvalues indicate scale factors along invariant directions.
为求特征值 λ 与特征向量 v，求解 det(A – λI) = 0。特征值指出在不变方向上的缩放因子。
3. Roots of Polynomials | 多项式的根
For a cubic equation ax³ + bx² + cx + d = 0 with roots α, β, γ, the relationships between roots and coefficients are given by symmetric sums.
对于三次方程 ax³ + bx² + cx + d = 0，其根为 α, β, γ，根与系数的关系由对称和给出。
α + β + γ = -b/a, αβ + αγ + βγ = c/a, αβγ = -d/a.
α + β + γ = -b/a，αβ + αγ + βγ = c/a，αβγ = -d/a。
These are extended to quartic equations. Methods for evaluating expressions such as α² + β² + γ² rely on these sums and algebraic manipulation.
类似关系可推广至四次方程。计算诸如 α² + β² + γ² 的表达式需依赖这些和式与代数变形。
Given a polynomial, you can form new equations with roots transformed by functions like 2α, α², or 1/α. Substitution and symmetry are key techniques.
给定多项式，可通过变换根（如 2α、α² 或 1/α）构造新方程。替换与对称性是关键技术。
4. Summation of Series | 级数的求和
Standard results for sums of integers, squares, and cubes are essential for evaluating more complex finite series.
整数、平方与立方的标准求和结果是求更复杂有限级数的基础。
| Sum | Formula | 求和 | 公式 |
|---|---|---|---|
| ∑ r | n(n+1)/2 | ∑ r | n(n+1)/2 |
| ∑ r² | n(n+1)(2n+1)/6 | ∑ r² | n(n+1)(2n+1)/6 |
| ∑ r³ | [n(n+1)/2]² | ∑ r³ | [n(n+1)/2]² |
Maclaurin series expansion expresses a function as an infinite sum of its derivatives at zero: f(x) = f(0) + f'(0)x + f”(0)x²/2! + f”'(0)x³/3! + …
麦克劳林级数将函数展开为在零点处的各阶导数的无限和：f(x) = f(0) + f'(0)x + f”(0)x²/2! + f”'(0)x³/3! + …
Common Maclaurin series include eˣ = 1 + x + x²/2! + x³/3! + …, sin x = x – x³/3! + x⁵/5! – …, and cos x = 1 – x²/2! + x⁴/4! – …
常见的麦克劳林级数有 eˣ = 1 + x + x²/2! + x³/3! + …，sin x = x – x³/3! + x⁵/5! – …，cos x = 1 – x²/2! + x⁴/4! – …。
5. Proof by Induction | 数学归纳法
Mathematical induction proves statements for all positive integers n. It consists of three main steps: base case, inductive hypothesis, and inductive step.
数学归纳法用于证明对所有正整数 n 成立的命题。它包含三个主要步骤：基础情形、归纳假设和归纳步骤。
Base case: verify the statement holds for the initial value, typically n = 1. Inductive hypothesis: assume the statement is true for n = k. Inductive step: prove that the statement for n = k+1 follows from the assumption.
基础情形：验证命题对起始值（通常为 n = 1）成立。归纳假设：假定命题对 n = k 成立。归纳步骤：由假设推导出 n = k+1 时命题成立。
Induction is frequently used to prove summation formulas, matrix powers, divisibility results, and inequalities such as 2ⁿ > n² for n ≥ 5.
归纳法常用于证明求和公式、矩阵的幂、整除性结果以及不等式，例如对于 n ≥ 5，2ⁿ > n²。
When working with recurrence relations, induction confirms closed forms. Correct algebraic manipulation is crucial in the inductive step to connect hypothesis and target.
处理递推关系时，归纳法可确认封闭形式。归纳步骤中准确的代数变形是将假设与目标联系起来的关键。
6. Polar Coordinates | 极坐标
In polar coordinates, a point is defined by its distance r from the pole and angle θ from the initial line. The conversion to Cartesian is x = r cos θ, y = r sin θ.
在极坐标中，点由到极点的距离 r 和从极轴量起的角度 θ 定义。转换为笛卡尔坐标：x = r cos θ，y = r sin θ。
Curves are often expressed as r = f(θ). Symmetry tests and plotting key points help in sketching. Common curves include cardioids, roses, and spirals.
曲线常表示为 r = f(θ)。对称性检验与绘制关键点有助于作图。常见曲线包括心形线、玫瑰线和螺线。
The area enclosed by a polar curve between θ = α and θ = β is given by (1/2) ∫ r² dθ. Tangents parallel or perpendicular to the initial line can be analysed using dy/dx.
极坐标曲线在 θ = α 与 θ = β 之间围成的面积由 (1/2) ∫ r² dθ 给出。平行或垂直于极轴的切线可用 dy/dx 分析。
A = ½ ∫[α,β] r² dθ
A = ½ ∫[α,β] r² dθ
Evaluating these integrals often requires identities such as cos²θ = (1+cos2θ)/2 to simplify the integrand.
求这些积分时常需利用恒等式如 cos²θ = (1+cos2θ)/2 来化简被积函数。
7. Hyperbolic Functions | 双曲函数
Hyperbolic functions are defined using exponential functions: sinh x = (eˣ – e⁻ˣ)/2, cosh x = (eˣ + e⁻ˣ)/2, and tanh x = sinh x / cosh x.
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。
Key identities mirror trigonometric ones, notably cosh²x – sinh²x = 1. Osborne’s rule states that changing sign of a product of two sines is required when converting from trig to hyperbolic identities.
关键恒等式类似于三角，特别是 cosh²x – sinh²x = 1。奥斯本规则指出，从三角恒等式转换为双曲恒等式时，需对两个正弦乘积项变号。
Derivatives: d/dx (sinh x) = cosh x, d/dx (cosh x) = sinh x. Inverse hyperbolic functions can be expressed in logarithmic form, e.g., arsinh x = ln(x + √(x²+1)).
导数：d/dx (sinh x) = cosh x，d/dx (cosh x) = sinh x。反双曲函数可用对数形式表示，如 arsinh x = ln(x + √(x²+1))。
Integration often yields inverse hyperbolic results or logarithmic equivalents. Recognising these forms is vital for AQA exam questions.
积分经常得到反双曲函数结果或等价的代数式。识别这些形式对 AQA 考题至关重要。
8. Differential Equations | 微分方程
First-order differential equations can be solved by separation of variables or by finding an integrating factor for linear forms dy/dx + P(x)y = Q(x).
一阶微分方程可通过分离变量法求解，或对于线性形式 dy/dx + P(x)y = Q(x)，求积分因子。
The integrating factor is e^(∫ P dx). Multiplying through gives an exact derivative, which is then integrated to find the general solution.
积分因子为 e^(∫ P dx)。乘以此因子后得到恰当导数，再积分以求得通解。
For second-order linear ODEs with constant coefficients a d²y/dx² + b dy/dx + cy = 0, assume a solution of the form y = e^(mx) leading to the auxiliary equation am² + bm + c = 0.
对于常系数二阶线性常微分方程 a d²y/dx² + b dy/dx + cy = 0，假设解形如 y = e^(mx)，导出辅助方程 am² + bm + c = 0。
Real distinct roots, repeated roots, and complex conjugate roots produce different forms of the complementary function. Particular integrals are found for non-h
