1. Complex Numbers | 复数
expressed in Cartesian form as z = x + iy, where x is the real part, denoted Re(z), and y is the imaginary part, Im(z). The set of all complex numbers is denoted by ℂ.
复数源于把实数系扩大到包含虚数单位 i，它满足 i² = -1。一个复数 z 通常用笛卡儿形式表示为 z = x + iy，其中 x 称作实部，记作 Re(z)，y 称作虚部，记作 Im(z)。全体复数的集合用 ℂ 表示。
The complex conjugate of z = x + iy is written as z* or z̄ operties that z + z* = 2x and z z* = x² + y², the latter giving the square of the modulus.
z = x + iy 的共轭复数通常写作 z* 或 z̄，定义为 z* = x - iy。共轭相当于把复数关于实轴作反射。它具有十分有用的性质：z + z* = 2x，而 z z* = x² + y²，后者正是模长的平方。
The modulus of z, written |z|, is the distance from the origin to the point (x, y) in the complex plane and is given by |z| = √x² + y². The argument of z, arg(z), is the angle θ measured from the positive real axis to the line joining the origin to (x, y), usually chosen in the interval (-π, π] for the principal value.
复数 z 的模，记作 |z|，是复平面上原点到点 (x, y) 的距离，计算公式为 |z| = √x² + y²。z 的辐角 arg(z) 是从正实轴逆时针量到原点到 (x, y) 连线所夹的角 θ，主值通常取区间 (-π, π]。
2. Argand Diagrams & Modulus-Argument Form | 阿干特图与模–辐角形式
An Argand diagram represents complex numbers as points or vectors in a plane with horizontal real axis and vertical imaginary axis. The representation makes geometric operations like addition, subtraction, and visualising the modulus and argument immediate.
阿干特图把复数表示为平面上的点或向量，横轴为实轴，纵轴为虚轴。这种表示法使得加法、减法、模长和辐角的几何操作一目了然。
o called polar form) writes a non-zero complex number as z = r(cos θ + i sin θ), where r = |z| and θ = arg(z). Using Euler's relation, this can be abbreviated as z = r eiθ, a notation that greatly simplifies multiplication, division, and finding powers and roots.
模–辐角形式（也称作极形式）把非零复数写作 z = r(cos θ + i sin θ)，其中 r = |z|，θ = arg(z)。利用欧拉公式，可简写为 z = r eiθ，这种记法极大简化了乘除运算和乘方、开方运算。
Multiplication in polar form becomes straightforward: if z₁ = r₁ eiθ₁ and z₂ = r₂ eiθ₂ z₂ = (r₁ r₂) e^(i(θ₁ + θ₂)). Similarly, division gives (r₁ / r₂) e^(i(θ₁ - θ₂)). De Moivre's theorem generalises powers: (r eiθ)ⁿ = rⁿ einθ for integer n.
极形式下乘法变得十分简单：如果 z₁ = r₁ eiθ₁，z₂ = r₂ eiθ₂，则 z₁ z₂ = (r₁ r₂) e^(i(θ₁ + θ₂))。除法同理，得到 (r₁ / r₂) e^(i(θ₁ - θ₂))。棣莫弗定理把乘方推广为 (r eiθ)ⁿ = rⁿ einθ，其中 n 为整数。
3. Matrices & Linear Transformations | 矩阵与线性变换
matrices represent linear transformations of vectors in the plane and in space. The zero matrix O has all entries zero, while the identity matrix I has 1s on the main diagonal and 0s elsewhere, acting as the multiplicative identity.
矩阵是按行、列排列的矩形数表。在进阶数学中，2 × 2 和 3 × 3 矩阵可用来表示平面和空间中向量的线性变换。零矩阵 O 的所有元素均为零，而单位矩阵 I 的主对角线元素为 1、其余元素为 0，相当于乘法单位元。
es the area scale factor of the transformation: if A maps a shape S to AS, then area(AS) = |det A| × area(S). A matrix is singular (non-invertible) exactly when det A = 0.
2 × 2 矩阵 A = [[a, b], [c, d]] 的行列式为 det A = ad - bc。行列式给出了变换的面积缩放因子：若 A 将图形 S 映为 AS，则面积(AS) = |det A| × 面积(S)。当 det A = 0 时矩阵是奇异的（不可逆）。
]]. Transformations such as rotations, reflections, enlargements, and shears all have characteristic matrix forms. For instance, a rotation through angle θ anticlockwise about the origin is represented by [[cos θ, -sin θ], [sin θ, cos θ]].
非奇异 2 × 2 矩阵 A 的逆矩阵为 A⁻¹ = (1/det A) [[d, -b], [-c, a]]。旋转、反射、缩放和剪切等变换都有各自的矩阵特征形式。例如，绕原点逆时针旋转 θ 角的变换可表示为 [[cos θ, -sin θ], [sin θ, cos θ]]。
4. Roots of Polynomials | 多项式的根
a. These relations extend to cubic and quartic equations, where elementary symmetric sums of the roots are linked directly to the coefficients.
对于有根 α 和 β 的二次方程 ax² + bx + c = 0，根之和为 α + β = -b/a，根之积为 αβ = c/a。这一关系可推广到三次和四次方程，其中根的基本对称和与方程的系数直接关联。
s of pairs of roots. For a quartic, a similar pattern continues, with Σαβγ = -d/a and αβγδ = e/a.
对于有根 α, β, γ 的三次方程 ax³ + bx² + cx + d = 0，核心恒等式为：Σα = -b/a，Σαβ = c/a，αβγ = -d/a。其中 Σαβ 表示所有可能的两两根乘积之和。四次方程可类推，新增 Σαβγ = -d/a 以及 αβγδ = e/a。
These symmetric sums allow us to find new equations whose roots are related to the original roots, for instance roots being squared (α², β², ...) or reciprocals (1/α, 1/β, ...). The method relies on expressing sum and product of the new roots in terms of the original symmetric sums.
利用这些对称和，我们可以构造新方程，使其根与原方程的根有关联，例如根变为平方 (α², β², …) 或倒数 (1/α, 1/β, …)。方法的核心是把新根的和与积表示为原对称和的代数组合。
5. Proof by Induction | 数学归纳法
case (prove the statement for n = 1), the inductive hypothesis (assume the statement is true for n = k), and the inductive step (prove it for n = k+1 using the hypothesis).
数学归纳法是一种强大的证明技术，用来证明对所有正整数 n 都成立的命题。它包含三个明确的步骤：基础情形（验证 n = 1 时命题成立）、归纳假设（假设 n = k 时命题成立）和归纳递推（利用假设证明 n = k+1 时命题也成立）。
Common induction examples include proving summation formulas, divisibility results, and inequalities. For summations, the inductive step typically involves adding the (k+1)-th term to both sides of the assumed identity. For divisibility, we often rewrite the (k+1)-th expression in terms of the k-th expression plus a multiple of the divisor.
常见的归纳法题型有证明求和公式、整除性质和不等式。求和时，归纳步通常是在假设的恒等式两边加上第 (k+1) 项。证明整除时，我们常将第 (k+1) 个表达式改写为第 k 个表达式的形式加上除数的倍数。
For matrix powers, induction can prove results like Aⁿ having a particular closed form. The procedure is the same: verify A¹ matches the pattern, assume Aᵏ, then multiply by A and show the result fits the formula for Aᵏ⁺¹.
对于矩阵乘方，归纳法可证明 Aⁿ 具有某个封闭表达式。流程相同：验证 A¹ 符合形式，假设 Aᵏ 成立，然后左乘 A 并说明结果与 Aᵏ⁺¹ 的公式一致。
6. Summation of Series | 级数求和
n(n+1)/2, Σr² = n(n+1)(2n+1)/6, and Σr³ = n²(n+1)²/4 = (Σr)². These are often used in combination with algebraic manipulation to sum more complicated finite series.
前 n 个正整数的和、平方和与立方和的标准公式是进阶级数求和的基础，分别是：Σr = n(n+1)/2，Σr² = n(n+1)(2n+1)/6，Σr³ = n²(n+1)²/4 = (Σr)²。它们常配合代数变形用于更复杂的有限级数求和。
when summed. For example, 1/(r(r+1)) = 1/r - 1/(r+1) collapses to 1 - 1/(n+1) when summed from r=1 to n.
差分法（裂项法）是把每一项写成另一数列相邻两项的差，求和时产生大量相消。例如 1/(r(r+1)) = 1/r - 1/(r+1)，从 r=1 到 n 求和后裂化为 1 - 1/(n+1)。
Partial fractions are a frequent tool for turning rational expressions into difference form. Always check the degree of the numerator and denominator beforehand; improper fractions should be simplified to a polynomial plus a proper fraction before applying the method.
部分分式是将有理式化为差分形式的常用工具。务必事先检查分子与分母的次数；假分式应先化为多项式加真分式，再套用裂项法。
7. Hyperbolic Functions | 双曲函数
lic functions sinh x, cosh x, and tanh x are defined in terms of exponentials: sinh x = (eˣ - e⁻ˣ)/2, cosh x = (eˣ + e⁻ˣ of catenaries, pure pursuit curves, and in the integration of certain algebraic functions.
双曲函数 sinh x、cosh x 和 tanh x 通过指数函数定义：sinh x = (eˣ - e⁻ˣ)/2，cosh x = (eˣ + e⁻ˣ)/2，tanh x = sinh x / cosh x。它们天然出现在悬链线、纯追踪曲线以及某些代数函数的积分中。
s include sinh(2x) = 2 sinh x cosh x and cosh(2x) = cosh² x + sinh² x = 2 cosh² x - 1 = 1 + 2 sinh² x.
基本双曲恒等式是 cosh² x - sinh² x = 1，与 cos² θ + sin² θ = 1 相似但符号不同。其他常用恒等式有 sinh(2x) = 2 sinh x cosh x 以及 cosh(2x) = cosh² x + sinh² x = 2 cosh² x - 1 = 1 + 2 sinh² x。
s, arsinh x, arcosh x, artanh x, are logarithmic forms and are used to integrate expressions like 1/√x² + a².
双曲函数的导数规律简洁：d/dx (sinh x) = cosh x，d/dx (cosh x) = sinh x，d/dx (tanh x) = sech² x。它们的反函数 arsinh x、arcosh x、artanh x 可表示为对数形式，常用于积分诸如 1/√x² + a² 的表达式。
8. Polar Coordinates | 极坐标
sitive x-axis). Curves are described by polar equations r = f(θ). Circles, cardioids, and roses all have simple polar forms.
在极坐标系中，平面上一点的位置由到极点（原点）的距离 r 和从极轴（正 x 轴）量起的角度 θ 决定。曲线用极坐标方程 r = f(θ) 描述。圆、心形线和玫瑰线都有简洁的极坐标形式。
e pole (where r = 0). Often sketching is done by plotting a table of values for key angles and considering trigonometric behaviours.
绘制 r = f(θ) 的曲线时，需要分析对称性、r 的极值以及曲线经过极点的位置（即 r = 0 处）。通常通过列表计算关键角度对应的 r 值，并结合三角函数的周期性变化来描点。
egions bounded by two polar curves, the area is calculated as the difference of the halves of their squared r-functions. Care must be taken with the correct limits found from intersection points.
极坐标曲线在角 α 与 β 之间围成的面积由积分 A = ∫θ=αθ=β (½ r²) dθ 给出。对于两条极坐标曲线所围的区域，面积等于各自 ½ r² 积分的差值。需注意通过交点确定正确的上下限。
9. Vectors in 3D | 三维向量
b j + c k or as a column vector. The scalar (dot) product of two vectors a and b is a·b = |a||b| . It is a scalar and is used to test orthogonality and to project one vector onto another.
三维空间中的向量常写成分量形式 a i + b j + c k 或列向量。两个向量 a 与 b 的数量积（点积）定义为 a·b = |a||b| cos θ，用坐标计算为 a₁b₁ + a₂b₂ + a₃b₃。结果是一个标量，常用于判断向量是否正交以及计算向量的投影。
vector (cross) product a × b yields a vector perpendicular to both a and b with magnitude |a||b| ₁b₂ - a₂b₁) k. It is used to find normals to planes, moments, and areas of parallelograms.
向量积（叉积） a × b 得到一个垂直于 a 和 b 的向量，其模长为 |a||b| sin θ。在标准基底下用坐标计算，a × b = (a₂b₃ - a₃b₂) i + (a₃b₁ - a₁b₃) j + (a₁b₂ - a₂b₁) k。叉积用于求平面的法向量、力矩以及平行四边形面积等。
l vector) or r = a + λ u + μ v in parametric form. The angle between lines and planes, and the distances from points to lines and planes, all flow from dot and cross product calculations.
三维直线可以用向量方程 r = a + λ d 表示，其中 a 是直线上一点，d 是方向向量。平面的方程可以写为 r·n = p（其中 n 为法向量）或参数形式 r = a + λ u + μ v。直线与直线、直线与平面之间的夹角，以及点到直线、点到平面的距离，都归结为点积与叉积的计算。
10. Further Calculus: Maclaurin Series & Volumes of Revolution | 进阶微积分：麦克劳林级数与旋转体体积
The Maclaurin series expansion of a function f(x) about x = 0 is given by f(x) = f(0) + f'(0)x + f''(0)x²/2! + f'''(0)x³/3! nomial, with increasing accuracy as more terms are included. Standard expansions such as eˣ, sin x, cos x, and ln(1+x) must be memorised.
函数 f(x) 在 x = 0 处的麦克劳林级数展开式为 f(x) = f(0) + f'(0)x + f''(0)x²/2! + f'''(0)x³/3! + … 。它将函数近似为一个多项式，包含的项数越多越精确。必须熟记 eˣ, sin x, cos x, ln(1+x) 等标准展开式。
he volume is V = π ∫ y² dx between the appropriate limits. For rotation about the y-axis, the formula becomes V = π ∫ x² dy, where x must be expressed as a function of y.
旋转体体积是由 xy 平面上的一个区域绕着 x 轴或 y 轴旋转一周而产生的立体。绕 x 轴旋转时，体积公式为 V = π ∫ y² dx，积分限由相关交点确定。绕 y 轴旋转时，公式变为 V = π ∫ x² dy，此时需要把 x 表示为 y 的函数。
- yᵢₙ²) dx (about the x-axis). It is also possible to find volumes of revolution for parametric curves by replacing y and dx with parametric expressions.
若旋转区域由两条曲线围成，则体积等于外曲线生成的体积减去内曲线生成的体积：V = π ∫ (yₒᵤₜ² - yᵢₙ²) dx（绕 x 轴）。对于参数曲线，可将 y 和 dx 替换为参数表达式再求积，得出旋转体体积。
