1. Complex Numbers | 复数
numbers extend the real number system by introducing the imaginary unit i, satisfying i² = – is the imaginary part. The complex plane (Argand diagram) represents z as a point (x, y).
复数通过引入虚数单位 i（满足 i² = –1）扩展了实数系。复数可用笛卡儿形式表示为 z = x + iy，其中 x 是实部，y 是虚部。复平面（阿根图）将 z 表示为点 (x, y)。
The modulus of z is |z| = √x² + y² θ = y/x, with careful attention to the quadrant. The principal argument usually lies in (–π, π].
复数 z 的模为 |z| = √x² + y²，表示其到原点的距离。辐角 arg(z) = θ 满足 tan θ = y/x，需注意象限。主辐角通常取值于 (–π, π]。
tion, and division of complex numbers follow algebraic rules. The complex conjugate z* = x – iy satisfies z z* = |z| nd is instrumental in division and in solving polynomial equations with real coefficients.
复数的加、减、乘、除遵循代数规则。复共轭 z* = x – iy 满足 z z* = |z|²，对于除法以及求解实系数多项式方程至关重要。
Euler's formula eiθ = cos θ + i sin θ bridges exponential and trigonometric representations. De Moivre's theorem (cos θ + i sin θ)n tation of powers and roots of complex numbers. The n-th roots of unity form a regular n-gon on the unit circle.
欧拉公式 eiθ = cos θ + i sin θ 连接了指数表示与三角表示。棣莫弗定理 (cos θ + i sin θ)n = cos nθ + i sin nθ 简化了复数的幂与根运算。n 次单位根在单位圆上构成正 n 边形。
eiπ + 1 = 0
2. Matrices and Linear Transformations | 矩阵与线性变换
d determines invertibility: a square matrix is invertible if and only if det(A) ≠ 0. For a 2×2 matrix A = [[a, b], [c, d]], det(A) = ad – bc.
矩阵是由数构成的矩形阵列，用于编码线性变换。行列式 det(A) 给出面积（或体积）的缩放因子并决定可逆性：方阵可逆当且仅当 det(A) ≠ 0。对于 2×2 矩阵 A = [[a, b], [c, d]]，det(A) = ad – bc。
verse A⁻¹, when it exists, undoes the transformation. For the 2×2 case, A⁻¹ = (1/det) [[d, –b], [– orresponds to the composition of the associated linear transformations, and order matters.
逆矩阵 A⁻¹（若存在）可撤销变换。对于 2×2 情形，A⁻¹ = (1/det) [[d, –b], [–c, a]]。矩阵乘法对应于线性变换的复合，且乘法顺序不可交换。
Eigenvalues λ are found from the characteristic equation det(A – , where D contains eigenvalues; this greatly simplifies matrix powers and systems of differential equations.
特征值 λ 由特征方程 det(A – λI) = 0 求得。特征向量 v 满足 Av = λv，表明该方向在变换下仅被缩放。对角化将矩阵表示为 A = PDP⁻¹，其中 D 包含特征值；这极大简化了矩阵幂和微分方程组的求解。
3. Vectors and 3D Geometry | 向量与三维几何
they are expressed as a i + b j + c k or as column vectors. The dot (scalar) product a·b = |a||b| onto another, to test orthogonality (a·b = 0), and to calculate the angle between vectors.
向量描述具有大小和方向的量。在三维中，向量表示为 a i + b j + c k 或列向量。点积（标量积）a·b = |a||b| cos θ 用于将一向量投影到另一向量、检验正交性（a·b = 0）以及计算向量夹角。
cross (vector) product a × b yields a vector perpendicular to both a and b, with magnitude |a||b| duct a·(b × c) gives the signed volume of the parallelepiped defined by the three vectors.
叉积（向量积）a × b 得到垂直于 a 与 b 的向量，其模为 |a||b| sin θ，代表它们张成的平行四边形面积。标量三重积 a·(b × c) 给出三向量定义的平行六面体的有向体积。
Intersection problems and angles between lines and planes are solved by solving vector equations systematically.
向量方程可将直线表示为 r = a + λ b（a 为线上一点，b 为方向向量），将平面表示为 r·n = d 或笛卡儿形式 ax + by + cz = d。线与线、线与面、面与面的交点及夹角问题，可通过系统求解向量方程来解决。
4. Hyperbolic Functions | 双曲函数
Hyperbolic functions are defined through exponential functions: sinh x = (ex – e–x)/2, cosh x = (ex + e–x unctions but relates to hyperbolas rather than circles. The fundamental identity is cosh²x – sinh²x = 1.
双曲函数通过指数函数定义：sinh x = (ex – e–x)/2，cosh x = (ex + e–x)/2，tanh x = sinh x / cosh x。它们的行为与三角函数类似，但与双曲线而非圆相关。基本恒等式为 cosh²x – sinh²x = 1。
cosh²x – sinh²x = 1
nverse hyperbolic functions can be expressed as logarithms; for example, arsinh x = ln(x + √x²+1). These functions are essential for evaluating certain integrals and solving some differential equations.
导数十分简洁：d/dx(sinh x) = cosh x，d/dx(cosh x) = sinh x，d/dx(tanh x) = sech²x。反双曲函数可用对数表示，例如 arsinh x = ln(x + √x²+1)。这些函数在计算某些积分和求解微分方程时至关重要。
5. Polar Coordinates | 极坐标
tial line (positive x-axis). The conversion formulas are x = r cos θ, y = r sin θ, and r = √x²+y².
在极坐标系中，平面上一点由 (r, θ) 确定，r 为到极点（原点）的距离，θ 为从极轴（正 x 轴）量度的角度。坐标转换公式为 x = r cos θ，y = r sin θ，r = √x²+y²。
Polar curves include cardioids (r = a(1+cos θ)), limaç closed by a polar curve is A = ∫ ½ r² dθ taken between appropriate limits. The arc length of a polar curve is given by s = ∫ √(r² + (dr/dθ)²) dθ.
极坐标曲线包括心形线 (r = a(1+cos θ))、蚶线、玫瑰线 (r = a cos nθ) 和双纽线。绘制此类曲线需要理解对称性、r 的最大值以及极点处的切线。极坐标曲线所围面积由 A = ∫ ½ r² dθ 在适当上下限内计算。极坐标曲线的弧长公式为 s = ∫ √(r² + (dr/dθ)²) dθ。
A = ∫ ½ r² dθ
6. Differential Equations | 微分方程
DEs) take the form dy/dx + P(x)y = Q(x). They are solved using an integrating factor μ = e∫P dx, which turns the left side into an exact derivative. Separation of variables is another fundamental technique for first-order ODEs.
一阶线性常微分方程形式为 dy/dx + P(x)y = Q(x)。利用积分因子 μ = e∫P dx 将左边化为恰导数从而求解。变量分离法是另一种基本的一阶 ODE 求解方法。
ic equation am² + bm + c = 0, whose roots dictate the complementary function (e.g., real distinct, repeated, or complex conjugate).
二阶线性常系数常微分方程写为 a d²y/dx² + b dy/dx + c y = f(x)。齐次情形 (f(x)=0) 对应特征方程 am² + bm + c = 0，其根的类型决定了余函数的形式（如实根不等、重根或共轭复根）。
am² + bm + c = 0
For non-homogeneous equations, a particular integral is found by choosing a trial function based on the form of f(x) (polynomial, exponential, sine/cosine, or combinations). The general solution is the sum of the complementary function and the particular integral. These equations model simple harmonic motion, damped and forced oscillations, and many other physical systems.
对于非齐次方程，需根据 f(x) 的形式选择试验函数（多项式、指数、正弦/余弦或其组合）来求出特解。通解为余函数与特解之和。此类方程用于描述简谐运动、阻尼和受迫振动以及许多其他物理系统。
7. Sequences and Series | 数列与级数
