1. Complex Numbers: Fundamental Concepts | 复数基本概念

复数可表示为 z = a + bi，其中 a, b 为实数，i² = -1。实部 Re(z) = a，虚部 Im(z) = b。共轭复数为 z̄ = a - bi。
The modulus |z| = √a² + b² agram, and the argument arg(z) = θ satisfies tan θ = b/a, with careful quadrant selection.

The theorem also helps derive trigonometric identities, such as cos 3θ and sin 3θ expressed in terms of cos θ and sin θ, by expanding (cos θ + i sin θ)³ and equating real and imaginary parts.
该定理还可用于推导三角恒等式，例如展开 (cos θ + i sin θ)³ 并对比实部与虚部，得到 cos 3θ 和 sin 3θ 的表达式。
Geometrically, multiplying by a complex number r(cos θ + i sin θ) represents an enlargement by factor r and a rotation by angle θ about the origin.

对于多项式 aₙxⁿ + aₙ₋₁xⁿ⁻¹ + ... + a₀ = 0，设根为 α, β, γ, ...，基本对称和与系数有直接关系：∑α = -aₙ₋₁/aₙ, ∑αβ = aₙ₋₂/aₙ, ∑αβγ = -aₙ₋₃/aₙ，以及 αβγ... = (-1)ⁿ a₀/aₙ。
These relations allow the formation of new equations whose roots are functions of the original roots, such as α+2, 2α, or α², without solving the original equation explicitly.
利用这些关系可构造新方程，使其根为原方程根的变换形式，如 α+2, 2α 或 α²，无需直接解原方程。

erse hyperbolic functions are often expressed in logarithmic form, e.g., arsinh x = ln(x + √x²+1).
重要恒等式有 cosh² x - sinh² x = 1，sinh(2x) = 2 sinh x cosh x，cosh(2x) = cosh² x + sinh² x。反双曲函数常表示为对数形式，如 arsinh x = ln(x + √x²+1)。
ntegration follows suit, and hyperbolic substitutions simplify certain integrals involving √x²±a².
求导法则为 d/dx (sinh x) = cosh x，d/dx (cosh x) = sinh x，d/dx (tanh x) = sech² x。积分亦然，双曲代换可简化含有 √x²±a² 的积分。
When solving differential equations, hyperbolic functions naturally appear in solutions where exponentials combine, especially with boundary conditions at infinity or in catenary problems.

Substitution methods are extended to handle integrands containing √a²-x² (use x = a sin θ), √a²+x² (use x = a tan θ or x = a sinh u), and √x²-a² (use x = a sec θ or x = a cosh u).
换元积分法可推广处理被积函数含 √a²-x²（令 x = a sin θ）、√a²+x²（令 x = a tan θ 或 x = a sinh u）以及 √x²-a²（令 x = a sec θ 或 x = a cosh u）。
Partial fractions decomposition is crucial for integrating rational functions: distinct linear factors give A/(x-p), repeated factors require multiple terms, and irreducible quadratic factors lead to ln and arctan forms.
部分分式分解对有理函数积分至关重要：单重线性因式得到 A/(x-p) 形式，重因式需多项分解，不可约二次因式则引出 ln 和 arctan 形式。
The evaluation of improper integrals with infinite limits or integrands with singularities requires limits. Convergence is determined by examining the limiting behaviour.
无穷限或无界奇点的反常积分需借助极限计算，并通过考察极限行为判断收敛性。

积分因子为 μ(x) = e∫ᴾ⁽ˣ⁾ᵈˣ，方程两边同乘后可化为恰当导数 d/dx (μ y) = μ Q(x)。
Second order linear homogeneous equations with constant coefficients have the form ay'' + by' ields roots r₁, r₂ determining the complementary function: if real distinct roots, y = A eʳ¹ˣ + B eʳ²ˣ; if repeated root, y = (A + Bx) eʳˣ; if complex conjugate roots α ± iβ, y = eᵅˣ (A cos βx + B sin βx).
二阶常系数线性齐次方程形如 ay'' + by' + cy = 0。其特征方程 ar² + br + c = 0 的根 r₁, r₂ 决定余函数形式：相异实根时 y = A eʳ¹ˣ + B eʳ²ˣ；重根时 y = (A + Bx) eʳˣ；共轭复根 α ± iβ 时 y = eᵅˣ (A cos βx + B sin βx)。

极坐标曲线所围面积为 A = ½ ∫ r² dθ，积分限由曲线本身决定。两条曲线间的面积公式为 A = ½ ∫ (r₁² - r₂²) dθ。
ing r = 0 for θ. Tangents at a general point use the gradient formula dy/dx = (r cos θ + r' sin θ) / (-r sin θ + r' cos θ), where r' = dr/dθ.
极点处的切线由 r = 0 解得 θ 确定。一般点处的切线利用梯度公式 dy/dx = (r cos θ + r' sin θ) / (-r sin θ + r' cos θ)，其中 r' = dr/dθ。
Converting between polar and Cartesian coordinates uses x = r cos θ, y = r sin θ, and r = √x² + y², θ = arctan(y/x) (with quadrant care). This helps analyse intersections and symmetries.
极坐标与直角坐标的转换关系为 x = r cos θ, y = r sin θ，以及 r = √x² + y²，θ = arctan(y/x)（注意象限）。这在分析交点与对称性时非常有用。
