📚 IGCSE Computer Science: Quick Memorization with Mind Maps | IGCSE 计算机：思维导图速记
Mind maps transform the dense IGCSE Computer Science syllabus into visual, interconnected paths, making revision active and memorable. By organising key concepts around a central idea and branching out with keywords, you can rapidly recall hardware, software, data representation, algorithms, and more during the exam.
思维导图将厚重的 IGCSE 计算机科学课程转化为可视化、相互关联的路径，让复习变得主动且印象深刻。围绕中心主题展开，用关键词向外分支，你就能在考试中快速回忆起硬件、软件、数据表示、算法等核心内容。
1. Central Theme and Main Branches | 中心主题与主干分支
Start your mind map with 'IGCSE Computer Science' at the centre. From this hub, radiate two thick branches: 'Theory of Computer Science' and 'Practical Programming'. Theory then splits into Data Representation, Hardware, Software, Networks, and Security & Ethics. Programming splits into Algorithm Design, Programming Concepts, and Databases. This high-level structure already gives you a mental index of all topics.
以“IGCSE 计算机科学”为中心展开思维导图。从这个中心向外辐射两条主分支：“计算机科学理论”与“实践编程”。理论再分为数据表示、硬件、软件、网络、安全与伦理。编程分为算法设计、编程概念和数据库。这个高层结构已经为你提供了一个全科的心理索引。
Theory branch keywords: binary, CPU, operating system, protocol, encryption, ethics.
理论分支关键词：二进制、处理器、操作系统、协议、加密、伦理。
Programming branch keywords: pseudocode, loop, variable, array, SQL.
编程分支关键词：伪代码、循环、变量、数组、SQL。
Visual hint: draw icons next to each keyword – a lock for security, a gear for hardware, a page for SQL.
视觉提示：在每个关键词旁画上图标——安全旁画锁，硬件旁画齿轮，SQL 旁画页面。
2. Data Representation: Bits, Bytes, and Beyond | 数据表示：位、字节及其他
Hang this sub-branch under Theory. Place 'Bit' e = 8 bits. From byte, fork to binary, denary, and hexadecimal conversions. Add a leaf for 'Overflow' when a number exceeds 8 bits, and another for 'Two's complement' to represent negative integers.
把这个子分支挂在理论下。把“位”（比特）作为最小单元（0或1），然后展示 1 字节 = 8 位。从字节分叉到二进制、十进制和十六进制转换。为“溢出”添加一片叶子（当数字超过 8 位时），再为“二进制补码”添加一片叶子来表示负整数。
(n = position from right, starting at 0). Example: 1011₂ = 1×2³ + 0×2² + 1×2¹ + 1×2⁰ = 11.
二进制转十进制：每位乘以 2ⁿ （n 从右起位置，从0开始）。例：1011₂ = 1×2³ + 0×2² + 1×2¹ + 1×2⁰ = 11。
Hexadecimal: group 4 bits, use digits 0-9 and A-F. 1111₂ = F₁₆.
十六进制：每 4 位一组，使用数字 0-9 和 A-F。1111₂ = F₁₆。
Character sets: ASCII uses 7 bits for 128 characters; Unicode uses up to 32 bits to cover global languages.
字符集：ASCII 使用 7 位表示 128 个字符；Unicode 最多用 32 位覆盖全球语言。
r depth (bits per pixel), resolution, file size = width × height × colour depth / 8 bytes.
图像表示：像素网格、颜色深度（每像素位数）、分辨率、文件大小 = 宽 × 高 × 颜色深度 / 8 字节。
3. Hardware: Input, Output, Storage, CPU | 硬件：输入、输出、存储与CPU
Under the Hardware branch, sketch four main limbs: Input Devices, Output Devices, Storage Devices, and Central Processing Unit (CPU). The CPU limb further divides into Control Unit (CU), Arithmetic Logic Unit (ALU), Registers, and Buses. Link them with von Neumann architecture.
在硬件分支下，画出四个主干：输入设备、输出设备、存储设备和中央处理器（CPU）。CPU 主干再分为控制器（CU）、算术逻辑单元（ALU）、寄存器和总线。用冯·诺依曼架构将它们连接起来。
CPU cycle: Fetch – Decode – Execute. The CU fetches an instruction from RAM, decodes it, then ALU executes.
CPU 周期：取指 – 译码 – 执行。控制器从 RAM 中取出指令，译码后由 ALU 执行。
Registers: PC (Program Counter) holds address of next instruction; MAR (Memory Address Register); MDR (Memory Data Register); Accumulator.
寄存器：PC（程序计数器）存放下条指令地址；MAR（内存地址寄存器）；MDR（内存数据寄存器）；累加器。
non-volatile) → secondary (HDD, SSD, optical). Cloud storage is remote secondary storage.
存储层次：主存（RAM，易失性；ROM，非易失性） → 辅助存储（HDD、SSD、光盘）。云存储是远程辅助存储。

5. Networks: Topologies, Protocols, Security | 网络：拓扑、协议与安全
Draw a cloud labelled 'Network' AN/WAN, topologies, protocols, and threats. Use a chain-link symbol for the Internet. Link 'Protocols' to TCP/IP, HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, SMTP, POP3, IMAP – each with a small tagline (e.g., SMTP = send email).
画一朵标有“网络”的云。在里面放置局域网/广域网、拓扑、协议和威胁等节点。用链条符号表示互联网。将“协议”连接到 TCP/IP、HTTP、HTTPS、FTP、SMTP、POP3、IMAP——每个都带有一小句提示语（例如 SMTP = 发送邮件）。
Topologies: star (central switch, if one link fails others unaffected), mesh (multiple paths, robust but expensive), bus (shared cable, collisions). Draw simple sketches on the map.
拓扑：星型（中心交换机，一条链路故障不影响其他）、网状（多条路径，健壮但昂贵）、总线型（共享电缆，易冲突）。在导图上绘制简单草图。

Search algorithms: linear search (go through each item until found, O(n)) and binary search (repeatedly divide sorted list, O(log n)). A quick picture of a sorted list halving works well.
查找算法：线性查找（逐个遍历直至找到，O(n)）和二分查找（反复对半分割有序列表，O(log n)）。画一幅有序列表不断减半的简图效果很好。
Sort algorithms: bubble sort (repeated passes, swapping adjacent items) and insertion sort (build up sorted portion). Visualise small cards being shuffled and placed.
排序算法：冒泡排序（重复轮次，交换相邻元素）和插入排序（逐步构建已排序部分）。想象小卡片被洗牌并放置的过程。
7. Programming: Variables, Loops, Functions | 编程：变量、循环与函数
From 'Programming Concepts' branch, hang the essential building blocks: variables and data types, iteration, selection, arrays, and functions. On your map, create a 'toolbox' icon containing these blocks. Each block then gets its own tiny mind map.

数组：一维和二维。想象一排编号的储物柜（1D）和一个网格（2D）。例如：total ← total + sales[i] ; grid[row, col]。
Functions and procedures: functions RETURN a value; procedures do not. Write tiny examples: FUNCTION add(a,b) RETURN a+b.
函数与过程：函数 RETURN 一个值；过程不返回。写几个微型例子：FUNCTION add(a,b) RETURN a+b。
8. Databases: Tables, Queries, SQL | 数据库：表、查询与SQL
The Database branch grows from 'Practical Programming'. At its core, place a box labelled 'Table = Entity' Foreign Key (link). Then extend to SQL commands: SELECT, FROM, WHERE, ORDER BY, GROUP BY.
数据库分支从“实践编程”生长出来。在核心位置放一个标有“表 = 实体”的方框。围绕它添加列：记录（行）、字段（列）、主键（唯一）、外键（关联）。然后扩展到 SQL 命令：SELECT、FROM、WHERE、ORDER BY、GROUP BY。

9. Logic Gates and Circuits | 逻辑门与电路
Create a distinct 'Logic' branch directly from the central node. Place six petals: AND, OR, NOT, NAND, NOR, XOR. For each gate, draw its symbol, and attach a mini truth table. Use coloured pens: red for NOT (always opposite), blue for AND (both 1 gives 1).
从中心节点直接创建一个独特的“逻辑”分支。放置六个花瓣：AND、OR、NOT、NAND、NOR、XOR。为每个门画出符号，并附上一个微型真值表。使用彩色笔：红色代表 NOT（总是相反），蓝色代表 AND（两个都是 1 才得 1）。
AND: output 1 only if all inputs are 1. Quick recall: 'All must be true'.
AND：仅当所有输入为 1 时输出 1。快速记忆：“必须全为真”。
