## 1. Number 数与数系
Number forms the foundation of all mathematical reasoning. The CAIE 0580 syllabus covers natural numbers, integers, rational and irrational numbers, primes, factors, multiples, and the notoriously tricky topic of upper and lower bounds.
Number Types 数的分类
Natural numbers (自然数): 1, 2, 3...
Integers (整数): ...-2, -1, 0, 1, 2...
Rational numbers (有理数): fractions like 3/4, 0.75
Irrational numbers (无理数): π, √2, e
Prime numbers (质数): 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13...
Key Operations 核心运算
LCM 最小公倍数 & HCF 最大公约数
Prime factorisation 质因数分解
Standard form (scientific notation) 科学记数法
Fractions, decimals, percentages 分数小数百分数
Ratio and proportion 比例
A common pitfall: students often confuse upper and lower bounds with rounding. Remember — when a quantity is given as 3.4 cm (measured to 1 decimal place), the true value lies between 3.35 cm and 3.45 cm. The bounds are 上限 = 3.45, 下限 = 3.35. Exam questions frequently ask for the maximum or minimum possible value of a compound quantity (e.g., speed = distance / time), which requires you to apply bounds correctly: for a quotient A/B, the maximum occurs when A is max and B is min.
理解数字的本质属性是数学思维的起点。在 0580 考试中,数字类题目通常出现在 Paper 1 和 Paper 2 的前半部分,属于「必须拿分」的基础题型,但 bounds 和 standard form 的陷阱经常让粗心的考生丢分。

## 2. Algebra 代数
Algebra is the largest single topic area in CAIE 0580. It encompasses everything from simple linear equations to quadratic inequalities and simultaneous equations.
Linear 线性
Solving linear equations 解一元一次方程
Linear inequalities 线性不等式
Rearranging formulae 公式变形
Simultaneous equations 联立方程 (substitution & elimination)
Quadratic 二次
Factorising quadratics 因式分解
Quadratic formula 求根公式: x = [-b ± √(b²-4ac)] / 2a
Completing the square 配方法
Quadratic inequalities 二次不等式
Sequences 数列
Arithmetic sequences 等差数列: a, a+d, a+2d...
nth term: Un = a + (n-1)d
Geometric sequences? Not required for Core; Extended only briefly touched in growth/decay
The quadratic formula is one of the most frequently tested tools in 0580. Always check the discriminant (b² - 4ac) before attempting to solve — if it's negative, there are no real roots and you should stop. If the question specifies giving answers correct to 2 decimal places, you MUST use the quadratic formula rather than factorising, as factorised answers may not yield the required decimal precision.
代数模块是 IGCSE 数学的「半壁江山」,占据了至少 25% 的考试分值。熟练掌握因式分解技巧和公式变形能力,是攻克高分题的关键。

## 3. Functions 函数
Functions bridge algebra and graphs. The 0580 syllabus expects you to understand function notation, composite functions, inverse functions, and to sketch and interpret graphs of various function types.
Function Notation Essentials
f(x) = 2x + 3 means "take x, multiply by 2, then add 3"
f(4) = 2(4) + 3 = 11 — substitute the input into the expression
f⁻¹(x): inverse function, "reverse the operations" — for f(x) = 2x + 3, write y = 2x + 3, swap x and y: x = 2y + 3, solve for y: y = (x - 3)/2, so f⁻¹(x) = (x - 3)/2
fg(x) = f(g(x)): apply g first, then f — composite function 复合函数
Graph types you must recognise: linear (y = mx + c), quadratic (y = ax² + bx + c, parabola), cubic (y = ax³ + bx² + cx + d), reciprocal (y = k/x), and exponential (y = aˣ). For each, be able to state the y-intercept, roots (x-intercepts), turning points, and asymptotic behaviour.
函数是代数与图形的交汇点。CAIE 特别喜欢出「given f(x) = ... and g(x) = ..., find fg(x) and solve fg(x) = 0」这类连锁题——关键步骤是先正确合成复合函数,再解方程,顺序绝不能乱。

## 4. Coordinate Geometry 坐标几何
Coordinate geometry (also called analytic geometry) uses algebraic methods to solve geometric problems on the Cartesian plane. This is a highly formula-driven topic where memorisation pays off directly.
Straight Line 直线
Gradient 斜率: m = (y₂ - y₁) / (x₂ - x₁)
Equation 方程: y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)
Midpoint 中点: M = ((x₁+x₂)/2, (y₁+y₂)/2)
Distance 距离: d = √[(x₂-x₁)² + (y₂-y₁)²]
Parallel & Perpendicular 平行与垂直
Parallel lines 平行线: m₁ = m₂ (same gradient)
Perpendicular lines 垂直线: m₁ × m₂ = -1
This is CAIE's favourite trap — always check if lines are parallel or perpendicular before calculating!
The perpendicular gradient rule (m₁ × m₂ = -1) is one of the top three most-tested formulas in CAIE 0580. A typical question: "Line L passes through A(2, 5) and is perpendicular to the line y = 3x - 1. Find the equation of L." 解法:先取垂直线斜率 m = -1/3,再用点斜式 y - 5 = (-1/3)(x - 2)。
坐标几何虽然公式多,但规律性强。建议把距离公式、中点公式、斜率公式和垂直线斜率关系写在一张「公式速查卡」上,考前反复默写,确保滚瓜烂熟。

## 5. Geometry & Mensuration 几何与测量
Geometry in 0580 covers angles, polygons, circles, symmetry, and 3D shapes. Mensuration involves calculating perimeters, areas, surface areas, and volumes.
Angle Rules 角度定理
Angles on a straight line sum to 180°
Angles around a point sum to 360°
Vertically opposite angles are equal
Alternate angles (Z-shape) are equal
Corresponding angles (F-shape) are equal
Interior angles (C-shape) sum to 180°
Circle Theorems 圆定理
Angle at centre = 2 × angle at circumference
Angle in a semicircle = 90°
Angles in the same segment are equal
Opposite angles in a cyclic quadrilateral sum to 180°
Tangent perpendicular to radius at point of contact
For mensuration, the formulas appear on the formula sheet for Extended tier, but Core tier students need to memorise them. Key ones: area of triangle = ½bh, area of parallelogram = bh, area of trapezium = ½(a+b)h, circumference of circle = 2πr, area of circle = πr², volume of prism = area of cross-section × length, volume of cylinder = πr²h, curved surface area of cylinder = 2πrh, volume of cone = ⅓πr²h, curved surface area of cone = πrl, volume of sphere = ⁴⁄₃πr³, surface area of sphere = 4πr².
圆形定理是 0580 几何部分最容易失分的板块。CAIE 的圆定理题通常融合 2-3 个定理,考生需要「连环推理」——从一个已知角出发,逐步推导出目标角。建议练习时画出「推理链条」,标注每一步用到的定理,养成严谨的几何证明习惯。

## 6. Trigonometry 三角学
Trigonometry in 0580 spans right-angled triangle trigonometry (SOH CAH TOA), the sine and cosine rules for non-right-angled triangles, and applications including bearings and 3D problems.
SOH CAH TOA 三角函数基础
sin θ = Opposite / Hypotenuse (对边/斜边)
cos θ = Adjacent / Hypotenuse (邻边/斜边)
tan θ = Opposite / Adjacent (对边/邻边)
Sine Rule 正弦定理: a/sin A = b/sin B = c/sin C (use when you know two angles and one side, or two sides and a non-included angle)
Cosine Rule 余弦定理: a² = b² + c² - 2bc cos A (use when you know two sides and the included angle, or all three sides)
Area of triangle 三角形面积: Area = ½ab sin C
Bearings are a major applied trigonometry topic. Remember: bearings are measured clockwise from north, always given as three digits (e.g., 045°, not 45°). A typical bearing question combines the sine/cosine rule with a diagram — draw the diagram carefully, label all known angles, and identify which rule to apply before calculating.
三角函数与方位角(bearings)的结合题是 CAIE Paper 4 的「压轴常客」。解题核心是画图——准确的示意图比盲目的公式代入管用十倍。标注已知边和角,判断用正弦定理还是余弦定理,最后代入计算器时注意角度单位是否为 degrees。

## 7. Vectors & Transformations 向量与变换
Vectors appear mainly in the Extended tier. You need to understand vector notation, addition and subtraction, scalar multiplication, magnitude, and position vectors.
Vector Operations
Column vector 列向量: v = (x, y)ᵀ — displacement of x units right, y units up
Addition: (a, b)ᵀ + (c, d)ᵀ = (a+c, b+d)ᵀ
Scalar multiplication: k(a, b)ᵀ = (ka, kb)ᵀ
Magnitude 模: |v| = √(x² + y²)
Position vector 位置向量: the vector from the origin to a point
Collinear points 共线点: if AB = k·BC for some scalar k, then A, B, C are collinear
Transformations covered in 0580: translation (平移, specified by a vector), reflection (反射, in a given line), rotation (旋转, about a centre, by a given angle, clockwise or anticlockwise), enlargement (放大, about a centre, with a scale factor), and sometimes shear and stretch for Extended students.
向量题目的难点在于「向量等式」的建立——从几何图形中识别出«AB + BC = AC»这样的向量路径关系,然后用代数方法求解未知标量参数。变换题则需要精确的作图,徒手草图往往不够准确。

## 8. Statistics & Probability 统计与概率
Statistics and probability together form a significant component of 0580, with data representation, averages, cumulative frequency, and basic probability calculations all in scope.
Statistics 统计
Mean 平均数 = sum / count
Median 中位数 = middle value (ordered)
Mode 众数 = most frequent value
Range 极差 = max - min
Quartiles & IQR 四分位数与四分位距
Cumulative frequency 累积频率
Histograms, bar charts, pie charts, scatter graphs
Probability 概率
P(event) = favourable outcomes / total outcomes
P(not A) = 1 - P(A)
P(A and B) = P(A) × P(B) if independent
P(A or B) = P(A) + P(B) if mutually exclusive
Tree diagrams 树状图 for combined events
Conditional probability 条件概率 (Extended)
Cumulative frequency graphs are a perennial CAIE favourite. They appear almost every exam series in Paper 4. The process: (1) construct a cumulative frequency table, (2) plot the upper class boundary against cumulative frequency, (3) draw a smooth curve, (4) use it to estimate the median (50th percentile), lower quartile (25th), upper quartile (75th), and interquartile range. Remember: do NOT join points with straight lines — draw a smooth curve. 累频图中最常见的扣分点是「用直线连接」而非用平滑曲线。
概率树状图 (tree diagram) 是解决多步概率问题的神器。画图时必须标注每个分支的概率值,且同一节点的分支概率之和必须等于 1。最后将目标路径上的概率相乘,再将不同路径的概率相加。
