- Time management was critical; some candidates spent too long on early questions and rushed the final vector question.
- 时间管理至关重要；一些考生在前几题上花费过多时间，最后在向量题上仓促作答。
2. Complex Numbers | 复数
The complex number question tested the modulus–argument form, De Moivre's theorem and roots of unity. Many candidates correctly calculated modulus and argument but then failed to use the correct general formula for all roots.
复数题考查了模辐角形式、棣莫弗定理和单位根。许多考生能正确计算模和辐角，但在使用所有根的通项公式时出错。
z = r(cos θ + i sin θ), zⁿ = rⁿ(cos nθ + i sin nθ)
A common error was writing the argument in degrees when the formula required radians. Another frequent mistake was forgetting to add 2πk for multiple roots, leading to only one root instead of all n roots.
常见错误是在公式需要弧度时使用角度表达辐角。另一个高频错误是忘记为多个根添加2πk，导致只写出了一个根而不是全部n个根。
- etween Cartesian and polar forms carefully, and state the range of θ (usually −π < θ ≤ π).
- 在笛卡尔和极坐标形式间转换时务必小心，并明确θ的取值范围（通常为−π < θ ≤ π）。
- When finding n-th roots, write z = rei(θ+2πk) and let k = 0, 1, …, n−1.
- 求n次根时，写出z = rei(θ+2πk)，并令k = 0, 1, …, n−1。
- Practice sketching roots on an Argand diagram to visualise symmetry.
- 练习在阿甘图上绘制根以观察对称性。
3. Roots of Polynomials | 多项式根
This question required use of the relationships between roots and coefficients for cubic equations. Candidates were asked to find the value of a symmetric function of the roots, such as α² + β² + γ².
此题要求利用三次方程根与系数的关系，例如求对称函数α² + β² + γ²的值。
Given a cubic equation with roots α, β, γ, the standard results are:
对于根为α、β、γ的三次方程，标准结果为：
α + β + γ = −b/a, αβ + βγ + γα = c/a, αβγ = −d/a
ixed up the terms, writing α² + β² + γ² = (sum)² + 2(sum of pairs) instead of subtracting.
许多考生能正确回忆前两个关系式，但根的乘积符号用错。另一些考生尝试展开(α + β + γ)²，但项与项混淆，错误地写成α² + β² + γ² = (和)² + 2(两两乘积之和)，而实际上应减去2倍。
- Remember the sign pattern for each coefficient, especially the alternating signs in higher-degree polynomials.
- 记住每个系数的符号规律，尤其是高次多项式中符号交替变化。
- Use the identity (α + β + γ)² = α² + β² + γ² + 2(αβ + βγ + γα) to rearrange correctly.
- 使用恒等式(α + β + γ)² = α² + β² + γ² + 2(αβ + βγ + γα)进行正确变形。
- Check answers with a simple numerical cubic, such as x³ − 3x² + 2x = 0, to verify signs.
- 用简单的数值三次方程（如x³ − 3x² + 2x = 0）检验答案以确认符号正确。
4. Matrices and Transformations | 矩阵与变换
The matrix question covered linear transformations in two dimensions, including rotations and reflections. Some candidates were asked to find the matrix representing a composite transformation, followed by an inverse matrix calculation.
矩阵题考查二维线性变换，包括旋转和反射。部分题目要求求复合变换的矩阵，随后进行逆矩阵计算。
A recurring error was applying composite transformations in the wrong order. If a transformation T₁ is followed by T₂, the combined matrix is T₂T₁, not T₁T₂. Many candidates multiplied in the reverse order and obtained a completely different transformation.
一个反复出现的错误是复合变换的顺序颠倒。如果先进行变换T₁再进行T₂，则复合矩阵为T₂T₁，而不是T₁T₂。许多考生以相反顺序相乘，得到了完全不同的变换。
det(A) = ad − bc, A⁻¹ = (1/(ad − bc)) × [[d, −b], [−c, a]]
Candidates also confused the determinant formula or forgot to divide by the determinant when finding the inverse. In reflection questions, some failed to recognise that reflections are their own inverses.
考生还容易混淆行列式公式，或在求逆矩阵时忘记除以行列式。在反射问题中，有些考生未能意识到反射矩阵的逆就是其自身。
- Write down the order of transformations clearly: the matrix closest to the vector applies first.
- 清晰写出变换顺序：离向量最近的矩阵先作用。
- For inverse of a 2×2 matrix, always calculate the determinant first and check it is non‑zero.
- 求2×2矩阵逆时，先计算行列式并确认其非零。
- Verify a rotation matrix by applying it to a simple vector like (1, 0).
- 通过将旋转矩阵应用于简单向量（如(1, 0)）来验证结果。
5. Series and Mathematical Induction | 级数与数学归纳法
The induction question required proving a summation formula for all positive integers n. Standard examples involve Σr³ or Σr(r+1). Candidates lost marks for missing the base case or not explicitly using the induction hypothesis.
归纳法题目要求证明对所有正整数n成立的求和公式。典型例子包括Σr³或Σr(r+1)。考生因遗漏基例或未明确使用归纳假设而失分。
structure was writing the proof in prose without algebraic steps. For example, some wrote “assume true for n = k, then true for n = k+1” tually adding the next term. Examiners require the explicit expression after substitution.
常见的错误结构是用叙述性文字代替代数步骤。例如，有些考生写“假设n = k成立，则n = k+1成立”，但没有真正加上下一项。考官要求写出代入后的明确表达式。
Σr³ = n²(n+1)² / 4
- Always state the proposition P(n) clearly at the start.
- 在开始时明确陈述命题P(n)。
- Prove the base case for n = 1, then assume P(k) and derive P(k+1).
- 证明n = 1的基例，然后假设P(k)成立并推导P(k+1)。
- Finish with the conclusion: “Therefore by mathematical induction, P(n) holds for all positive integers n.”
- 最后下结论：“因此，由数学归纳法，P(n)对所有正整数n成立。”
6. Hyperbolic Functions | 双曲函数
are expected to know the exponential definitions and the key identity cosh²x − sinh²x = 1.
此题考查双曲函数的定义、恒等式以及简单双曲方程的求解。考生需掌握指数定义和关键恒等式cosh²x − sinh²x = 1。
he inverse hyperbolic function arcosh x, especially when converting from logarithmic form.
许多考生将双曲恒等式与三角恒等式混淆，例如写成cosh²x + sinh²x = 1。另一些考生在反双曲函数arcosh x上遇到困难，尤其是从对数形式转换时。
cosh x = (eˣ + e⁻ˣ)/2, sinh x = (eˣ − e⁻ˣ)/2
- Learn the exponential forms thoroughly; they are essential for differentiating and integrating.
- 彻底掌握指数形式；它们对微分和积分至关重要。
- Remember that cosh x is an even function and sinh x is odd, based on the exponential definitions.
- 根据指数定义记住cosh x是偶函数，sinh x是奇函数。
- When solving equations, set u = eˣ and use u² − 2xu + 1 = 0 for cosh x = x, then reject invalid roots.
- 解方程时，设u = eˣ，对cosh x = x使用u² − 2xu + 1 = 0，然后舍去无效根。
7. Polar Coordinates | 极坐标
cos θ) or similar, and finding the area enclosed by a loop. The most common source of error was setting incorrect limits for the integral.
极坐标题要求绘制形如r = a(1 + cos θ)的曲线，并求环线所围面积。最常见的错误来源是设置了错误的积分限。
For a cardioid, the area is given by:
对于心形线，面积公式为：
A = ½ ∫αβ r² dθ
identity when squaring r, such as (1 + cos θ)² = 1 + cos²θ instead of 1 + 2cos θ + cos²θ.
许多考生错误地使用对称性，积分从0到π但漏掉了½因子。另一些考生在平方r时使用错误的恒等式，例如将(1 + cos θ)²写成1 + cos²θ，而不是1 + 2cos θ + cos²θ。
- Always sketch the curve first to determine a full loop or area limits.
- 先绘制曲线草图，以确定完整的环或面积积分限。
- Include the ½ factor in the area formula; it is frequently omitted.
- 面积公式中要包含½因子；它经常被漏掉。
- Use cos²θ = (1 + cos 2θ)/2 to integrate products of trigonometric functions.
- 使用cos²θ = (1 + cos 2θ)/2来积分三角函数乘积。
8. Differentiation and Integration Techniques | 微分与积分技巧
This section covered techniques such as integration by parts, substitution, and partial fractions. Candidates generally performed well on straightforward integrations but struggled with more complex integrands, especially those involving logarithms and inverse trigonometric functions.
本节涵盖分部积分法、换元法和部分分式积分法。考生在常规积分上表现良好，但在更复杂的被积函数上遇到困难，尤其是涉及对数和反三角函数的积分。
ing to an endless cycle. Similarly, in partial fractions, many forgot to include the constant term when the degree of the numerator is greater than that of the denominator.
例如，积分ln x需要令u = ln x，dv = dx。有些考生选择u = 1和dv = ln x dx，导致无限循环。同样，在部分分式中，当分子次数高于分母次数时，许多考生忘记包含多项式部分。
- Use the LIATE rule (Log, Inverse trig, Algebraic, Trig, Exponential) to choose u in integration by parts.
- 使用LIATE规则（对数、反三角、代数、三角、指数）选择分部积分中的u。
- For improper fractions, divide first before using partial fractions.
- 对于假分式，先做除法再使用部分分式。
- Check your answer by differentiating it to see if you recover the original integrand.
- 通过对结果求导来检查是否还原原被积函数。
9. Differential Equations | 微分方程
The differential equation question required solving a first‑ dates successfully found the integrating factor but made mistakes in the final integration.
微分方程题要求使用积分因子求解一阶线性方程，形式为dy/dx + P(x)y = Q(x)。许多考生成功求得积分因子，但在最后的积分中出错。
I = e∫P(x) dx, then d/dx (I y) = I Q(x)
ponent in the integrating factor. Some candidates omitted the absolute value when integrating 1/x, leading to sign errors in the final solution.
常见错误包括在求∫P dx时忘记积分常数，然后使用了负指数的积分因子。一些考生在积分1/x时省略了绝对值符号，导致最终解的符号错误。
- Find the integrating factor carefully, and only take e to the power of the integral.
- 小心求积分因子，且仅对积分结果取指数。
- Multiply both sides of the differential equation by I before integrating.
- 在积分前，将微分方程两边同时乘以积分因子I。
- Always include the arbitrary constant c and use the initial condition to find it.
- 始终包含任意常数c，并利用初始条件确定其值。
10. Vectors in Three Dimensions | 三维向量
The final question involved finding the equation of a plane and the angle between a line and a plane. Candidates needed to use the scalar product and cross product correctly. Many candidates knew the definitions but made errors in the algebraic computation.
最后一题涉及求平面方程以及直线与平面的夹角。考生需要使用数量积和叉积。许多考生知道定义，但在代数计算中出错。
For the angle between a line with direction vector d and a plane with normal n, the angle θ between the line and the plane satisfies:
对于方向向量为d的直线与法向量为n的平面，其夹角θ满足：
sin θ = |d·n| / (|d| |n|)
Some candidates used cos θ instead of sin θ. Others forgot to take the absolute value of the dot product, yielding an obtuse angle when the acute angle was required.
有些考生使用了cos θ而不是sin θ。另一些考生忘记对点积取绝对值，导致得出了钝角而不是锐角。
- Remember that a plane equation can be written as r·n = a·n, where n is the normal vector.
- 记住平面方程可以写成r·n = a·n，其中n是法向量。
- Use the cross product of two direction vectors in the plane to find n.
- 使用平面内两个方向向量的叉积来求n。
- For line-plane angles, always use sin, and for line-line angles use cos, both with absolute values.
- 对于线面角使用sin，对于线线角使用cos，并且都取绝对值。
11. Common Misconceptions | 常见误区
Across the entire paper, several misconceptions repeated. A major one was the belief that every square matrix has an inverse. Candidates often did not check the determinant before attempting to invert a matrix, even when the question explicitly asked for a non‑singular case.
整个试卷中，有几个误区反复出现。一个主要的误区是认为每个方阵都有逆矩阵。考生在尝试求逆矩阵前往往不检查行列式，即使题目明确给出了非奇异情形。
Another misconception concerned the modulus of a complex number: some candidates wrote |z| = √x² − y², mixing up the definition with x² + y². Similarly, in polar coordinates, some confused r, the radial distance, with z, the complex modulus.
另一个误区是关于复数的模：有些考生写成|z| = √x² − y²，将定义与x² + y²混淆。类似地，在极坐标中，有些考生混淆了径向距离r与复数模z。
- Always revisit definitions and key formulas before the exam; misconceptions often stem from rote learning without understanding.
- 考前务必重新审视定义和关键公式；误区往往源于死记硬背而不理解。
- Use past papers to identify your own recurring errors, and make a checklist.
- 利用历年试卷找出自己反复出现的错误，并制作一个检查清单。
- Do not assume a result is true for all cases; test with simple examples.
- 不要假设某个结果对所有情况都成立；用简单例子验证。
