Pre-U WJEC 进阶数学建立在标准 A Level 数学的基础上，引入高级纯数主题以及力学和统计应用模块。全面掌握核心知识点对于解决考试问题和为大学 STEM 学科奠定坚实基础至关重要。
1. Complex Numbers | 复数
Complex numbers are extended beyond Cartesian form into polar and exponential representations, enabling efficient multiplication, division and the extraction of roots.
复数被扩展到笛卡儿形式之外的极坐标和指数表示，使得乘法、除法和求根更加高效。
The polar form is z = r(cosθ + i sinθ), and the exponential form uses Euler’s formula: exp(iθ) = cosθ + i sinθ.
极坐标形式为 z = r(cosθ + i sinθ)，指数形式使用欧拉公式：exp(iθ) = cosθ + i sinθ。
De Moivre’s theorem states (cosθ + i sinθ)ⁿ = cos(nθ) + i sin(nθ), which is applied to find powers and nth roots of complex numbers, including the nth roots of unity.
棣莫弗定理表明 (cosθ + i sinθ)ⁿ = cos(nθ) + i sin(nθ)，该定理用于求复数的幂和 n 次根，包括单位 n 次根。
z = re^(iθ), zⁿ = rⁿ e^(inθ)
Recognising loci such as |z – a| = r (a circle) and arg(z – a) = α (a half‑line) is also required for geometric interpretations in the Argand diagram.
识别轨迹如 |z – a| = r（圆）和 arg(z – a) = α（射线）也是在阿尔冈图中进行几何解释所需的。
2. Matrices and Linear Transformations | 矩阵与线性变换
Students must be fluent in matrix algebra, including multiplication, determinants and inverses of 2×2 and 3×3 matrices.
学生必须熟练掌握矩阵代数，包括 2×2 和 3×3 矩阵的乘法、行列式与逆矩阵。
The determinant gives the area or volume scale factor of a linear transformation, and a zero determinant indicates a singular transformation.
行列式给出了线性变换的面积或体积缩放因子，行列式为零则表示该变换是奇异的。
Eigenvalues λ are found from det(A – λI) = 0; corresponding eigenvectors satisfy (A – λI)x = 0. Diagonalisation and powers of matrices rely on these concepts.
特征值 λ 由 det(A – λI) = 0 求得；相应的特征向量满足 (A – λI)x = 0。矩阵的对角化和乘幂都依赖于这些概念。
Linear transformations in 2D and 3D – rotations, reflections, shears and stretches – are represented by matrices, and their geometry must be interpreted correctly.
二维和三维的线性变换——旋转、反射、剪切和拉伸——都由矩阵表示，必须正确解释其几何意义。
det(A) = ad – bc for 2×2; A⁻¹ = (1/det(A)) adj(A)
3. Further Vectors | 进阶向量
Three‑dimensional vector algebra extends to the scalar (dot) product and the vector (cross) product, essential for calculating angles, areas and perpendicular directions.
三维向量代数扩展到标量积（点积）和向量积（叉积），对于计算角度、面积和垂直方向至关重要。
Equations of a straight line are written as r = a + λd; a plane can be expressed via the scalar product form r·n = p or using a point and two direction vectors.
直线方程写为 r = a + λd；平面可以通过标量积形式 r·n = p 或使用一个点和两个方向向量来表示。
The shortest distance from a point to a line or a plane, and the angle between two planes, are core problem types.
点到直线或平面的最短距离，以及两平面之间的夹角，是核心题型。
The vector triple product and the use of the determinant for the scalar triple product a·(b × c) to compute volumes of parallelepipeds may also be examined.
向量三重积以及使用标量三重积 a·(b × c) 的行列式计算平行六面体的体积也可能被考查。
a × b = (|a||b| sinθ) n, a·b = |a||b| cosθ
4. Hyperbolic Functions | 双曲函数
Hyperbolic functions are defined analogously to trigonometric functions: sinh x = (eˣ – e⁻ˣ)/2, cosh x = (eˣ + e⁻ˣ)/2, and tanh x = sinh x / cosh x.
双曲函数类似于三角函数定义：sinh x = (eˣ – e⁻ˣ)/2，cosh x = (eˣ + e⁻ˣ)/2，tanh x = sinh x / cosh x。
Key identities mirror trig identities, notably cosh²x – sinh²x = 1, and Osborne’s rule guides conversions between trigonometric and hyperbolic identities.
关键恒等式与三角恒等式对应，尤其是 cosh²x – sinh²x = 1；奥斯本规则指导三角恒等式与双曲恒等式之间的转换。
The derivatives are d/dx(sinh x) = cosh x, d/dx(cosh x) = sinh x, and the integrals of hyperbolic functions are equally straightforward.
导数为 d/dx(sinh x) = cosh x，d/dx(cosh x) = sinh x；双曲函数的积分同样直接。
Inverse hyperbolic functions can be expressed in logarithmic form, e.g. arsinh x = ln(x + √(x² + 1)), and their differentiation frequently appears.
反双曲函数可以用对数形式表示，例如 arsinh x = ln(x + √(x² + 1))，其求导经常出现。
cosh²x – sinh²x = 1
5. Differential Equations | 微分方程
First‑order differential equations are solved by separating variables or by using an integrating factor for linear equations of the form dy/dx + P(x)y = Q(x).
一阶微分方程通过分离变量或对形如 dy/dx + P(x)y = Q(x) 的线性方程使用积分因子来求解。
Second‑order linear differential equations with constant coefficients, ay” + by’ + cy = f(x), require finding the complementary function (CF) from the auxiliary equation and a particular integral (PI) for the non‑homogeneous case.
常系数二阶线性微分方程 ay” + by’ + cy = f(x) 需要从辅助方程求出补充函数 (CF)，并为非齐次情况求特解积分 (PI)。
The PI is chosen based on the form of f(x): polynomial, exponential, trigonometric or a combination; boundary conditions then determine the constants.
根据 f(x) 的形式（多项式、指数、三角函数或组合）选择特解；边界条件随后确定常数。
Substitutions may simplify certain differential equations, and modelling contexts such as cooling, oscillations and population dynamics are examined.
替换可简化某些微分方程，并且会考查如冷却、振动和种群动态的建模情境。
CF: am² + bm + c = 0 → y = Ae^(m₁x) + Be^(m₂x)
6. Polar Coordinates | 极坐标
Polar coordinates (r, θ) describe curves where r is a function of θ. Common curves include cardioids r = a(1 + cosθ), limacons, and roses r = a cos(nθ).
极坐标 (r, θ) 描述 r 为 θ 的函数的曲线。常见曲线包括心脏线 r = a(1 + cosθ)、蚌线和玫瑰花线 r = a cos(nθ)。
The area enclosed by a polar curve is given by A = ½ ∫ r² dθ, with careful attention to the limits that trace the curve exactly once.
极坐标曲线围成的面积由 A = ½ ∫ r² dθ 给出，需要注意恰好描出曲线一次的积分限。
Finding tangents at a pole and converting between Cartesian and polar forms are essential skills. The formula for arc length, s = ∫ √(r² + (dr/dθ)²) dθ, also appears.
求极点处的切线以及在笛卡儿和极坐标形式之间进行转换是基本技能。弧长公式 s = ∫ √(r² + (dr/dθ)²) dθ 也会出现。
A = ½ ∫[α,β] r² dθ
7. Series and Maclaurin Expansions | 级数与麦克劳林展开
The Maclaurin series expansion f(x) = f(0) + f'(0)x + f”(0)x²/2! + … is a power series approximation of a function about x = 0.
麦克劳林级数展开 f(x) = f(0) + f'(0)x + f”(0)x²/2! + … 是函数在 x = 0 附近的幂级数近似。
Standard expansions must be memorised: eˣ = 1 + x + x²/2! + …, sin x = x – x³/3! + …, cos x = 1 – x²/2! + …, ln(1 + x) = x – x²/2 + … for |x| < 1.
必须记住标准展开式：eˣ = 1 + x + x²/2! + …，sin x = x – x³/3! + …，cos x = 1 – x²/2! + …，ln(1 + x) = x – x²/2 + …（|x| < 1）。
The range of validity for binomial expansions (1 + x)ⁿ is particularly important, and expansions can be used to find approximate values and limits.
二项展开式 (1 + x)ⁿ 的有效范围尤其重要，且展开式可用于求近似值和极限。
Summation of series using standard results for Σr, Σr², Σr³ and the method of differences is another key skill.
使用 Σr、Σr²、Σr³ 的标准结果以及差分法进行级数求和是另一项关键技能。

绕 x 轴旋转的曲面面积为 S = 2π ∫ y √(1 + (dy/dx)²) dx，绕 y 轴类似。
Improper integrals with infinite limits or unbounded integrands are evaluated by taking limits, often applying comparison tests for convergence.
具有无穷积分限或被积函数无界的反常积分通过取极限计算，常应用比较审敛法判断收敛性。
Iₙ = (n‑1)/n Iₙ₋₂, e.g. for ∫₀^(π/2) sinⁿx dx

组合体、薄板和实体的质心通过合力矩求得。需要掌握标准形状（杆、三角形、扇形）的质心位置。
Collisions in one dimension involve the coefficient of restitution e and conservation of momentum. Impulse‑momentum equation I = mv – mu is used.
一维碰撞涉及恢复系数 e 和动量守恒。使用冲量–动量方程 I = mv – mu。
Circular motion at constant speed requires a centripetal force F = mv²/r = mrω². Horizontal circles and conical pendulums are frequent problems.
