1. Algebraic Manipulation and Expansion | 代数运算与展开
(a+b)x + ab, and simplifying rational expressions by factorising numerators and denominators.
代数运算的熟练度在进阶数学中至关重要。你需要熟练展开二项式与三项式的乘积，例如 (x + a)(x + b) = x² + (a+b)x + ab，并能通过因式分解分子分母来化简有理式。
es like x² + 6x + 9 = (x+3)², and use difference of two squares: a² - b² = (a - b)(a + b).
你应能对二次式进行因式分解，识别完全平方如 x² + 6x + 9 = (x+3)²，并运用平方差公式：a² - b² = (a - b)(a + b)。
When simplifying algebraic fractions, always state restrictions on the variable, e.g. in (x² - 4)/(x - 2), x ≠ 2 so that after cancelling (x - 2) we get x + 2, for x ≠ 2.
在化简代数分式时，务必说明变量的限制条件，例如在 (x² - 4)/(x - 2) 中，x ≠ 2，这样约去 (x - 2) 后得到 x + 2，仍要求 x ≠ 2。
Key identities:
关键恒等式：
(a + b)² = a² + 2ab + b²
(a - b)² = a² - 2ab + b²
a² - b² = (a - b)(a + b)
2. Quadratic Equations | 二次方程
quadratic formula. The discriminant Δ = b² - 4ac tells you about the nature of the roots.
形如 ax² + bx + c = 0 的二次方程可通过因式分解、配方法或求根公式求解。判别式 Δ = b² - 4ac 能告诉你根的性质。
If the discriminant is positive, there are two distinct real roots; if zero, one repeated real root; if negative, no real roots but two complex conjugate roots (the latter is explored later in further maths).
若判别式为正，有两个不等的实根；若为零，有一个重实根；若为负，无实根，但有两个共轭复根（后者将在进阶数学中进一步探讨）。
The quadratic formula:
二次求根公式：
x = [ -b ± √b² - 4ac ] / (2a)
is not straightforward. For example, x² + 4x + 1 = 0 becomes (x + 2)² - 3 = 0, so x = -2 ± √3.
当因式分解不易时，配方法常能派上用场。例如 x² + 4x + 1 = 0 可化为 (x + 2)² - 3 = 0，从而 x = -2 ± √3。
You will also meet quadratic inequalities, such as x² - 5x + 6 > 0, which require sketching the parabola and determining intervals where the graph is above the x-axis.
你还会遇到二次不等式，如 x² - 5x + 6 > 0。需画出抛物线草图，确定图像在 x 轴上方的区间。
3. Functions and Transformations | 函数与图像变换
A function f(x) maps each input to exactly one output. The domain is the set of allowed x-values and the range is the set of resulting y-values. Understanding f(x) notation and evaluating composite functions f(g(x)) is vital.
函数 f(x) 将每个输入映射到唯一输出。定义域是所有允许的 x 值集合，值域是对应的 y 值集合。理解 f(x) 记号并计算复合函数 f(g(x)) 至关重要。
Graph transformations apply to any function. For a given graph y = f(x):
图像变换适用于任何函数。对于已知图形 y = f(x)：
f(x) + a translates the graph a units upwards.
f(x) + a 将图像向上平移 a 个单位。
f(x + a) translates the graph a units to the left.
f(x + a) 将图像向左平移 a 个单位。
af(x) stretches the graph vertically by factor a (if a > 1).
af(x) 将图像纵向拉伸 a 倍（a > 1）。
f(ax) stretches the graph horizontally by factor 1/a.
f(ax) 将图像横向压缩为原来的 1/a 倍。
-f(x) reflects the graph in the x-axis.
-f(x) 将图像关于 x 轴对称翻转。
f(-x) reflects the graph in the y-axis.
f(-x) 将图像关于 y 轴对称翻转。
You are expected to sketch transformed functions and find equations of new graphs after a sequence of transformations.
要求你能绘制变换后的函数草图，并写出经过一系列变换后的新图像方程。
4. Coordinate Geometry: Lines and Circles | 坐标几何：直线与圆
be written as y = mx + c (slope-intercept form) or y - y₁ = m(x - x₁) (point-slope form).
点 (x₁, y₁) 与 (x₂, y₂) 间直线的斜率（梯度）为 m = (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁)。直线方程可写为 y = mx + c（斜截式）或 y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)（点斜式）。
× m₂ = -1. Finding midpoints and lengths of segments using coordinates is also essential.
平行线斜率相等；垂直线斜率乘积为 -1：m₁ × m₂ = -1。利用坐标求线段中点和长度也是基本技能。
able to find the centre and radius from an expanded form like x² + y² + 2gx + 2fy + c = 0.
圆心为 (a, b)、半径为 r 的圆方程为 (x - a)² + (y - b)² = r²。你必须能从展开式 x² + y² + 2gx + 2fy + c = 0 求出圆心和半径。
Intersecting a line and a circle often involves solving a quadratic, with the discriminant revealing if the line is a tangent, secant, or does not intersect.
求直线与圆的交点常需解二次方程，由判别式可判断直线是相切、相交还是无交点。
5. Sequences and Recurrence Relations | 数列与递推关系
erm using previous ones. Arithmetic sequences have a common difference d: uₙ = a + (n-1)d.
数列可用通项公式（第 n 项）或递推关系定义，后者通过前若干项给出当前项。等差数列有公差 d：uₙ = a + (n-1)d。
You should recognise linear and quadratic sequences. A quadratic sequence has a constant second difference; its nth term is an expression of the form an² + bn + c, where a is half the second difference.
你应能识别线性数列与二次数列。二次数列具有恒定的二阶差分；其通项通常为 an² + bn + c 的形式，其中 a 是二阶差分的一半。
equences. You may be asked to describe long-term behaviour or find limits when -1 < a < 1.
形如 uₙ₊₁ = auₙ + b 的递推关系可生成数列。你可能需要描述其长期行为，或在 -1 < a < 1 时求极限。
The Fibonacci sequence and other recursive patterns deepen understanding of how simple rules can produce complex results.
斐波那契数列及其它递归模式能加深你对简单规则产生复杂结果的理解。
6. Matrices and Transformations | 矩阵与变换
etric transformations such as rotations, reflections, enlargements and stretches applied to points in a plane.
矩阵是一个矩形的数字阵列。2×2 矩阵可表示平面上的几何变换，如旋转、反射、放大和拉伸。
Matrix multiplication is not commutative (AB ≠ BA generally). To transform a point with coordinates (x, y), multiply the transformation matrix by the column vector [x; y].
矩阵乘法不满足交换律（通常 AB ≠ BA）。要用变换矩阵对坐标 (x, y) 的点施加变换，可将矩阵乘以列向量 [x; y]。
Key matrices to remember:
需牢记的关键矩阵：
Rotation by θ anticlockwise: [cos θ, -sin θ; sin θ, cos θ]
逆时针旋转 θ：[cos θ, -sin θ; sin θ, cos θ]
Reflection in x-axis: [1, 0; 0, -1]
关于 x 轴反射：[1, 0; 0, -1]
Reflection in y-axis: [-1, 0; 0, 1]
关于 y 轴反射：[-1, 0; 0, 1]
Enlargement scale factor k: [k, 0; 0, k]
放大倍数 k：[k, 0; 0, k]
f det(M)=0, the transformation collapses the plane into a line or point (singular matrix).
2×2 矩阵 M = [a, b; c, d] 的行列式为 ad - bc。它给出变换的面积缩放因子；若 det(M)=0，该变换将平面压扁为一条直线或一个点（奇异矩阵）。
7. Trigonometry Fundamentals | 三角学基础
Exact values for sin, cos and tan of 0°, 30°, 45°, 60° and 90° must be known without a calculator. They are derived from special right-angled triangles.
必须不借助计算器记住 0°、30°、45°、60° 和 90° 的 sin、cos、tan 的精确值。它们由特殊直角三角形推导而来。
os A) are used for non-right-angled triangles. The area formula ½ ab sin C is also needed.
正弦定理 (a/sin A = b/sin B = c/sin C) 和余弦定理 (a² = b² + c² - 2bc cos A) 用于非直角三角形。面积公式 ½ ab sin C 也是必备的。
eads to graphs of y = sin x, y = cos x and y = tan x, including periodicity and amplitude.
理解单位圆有助于将三角函数定义扩展到 90° 以外，并画出 y = sin x、y = cos x 与 y = tan x 的图像，包括它们的周期性与振幅。
h as 2 sin x = 1 for 0° ≤ x ≤ 360° gives multiple solutions due to symmetry of the graphs.
解三角方程如 2 sin x = 1 在 0° ≤ x ≤ 360° 内会有多个解，这是图像的对称性导致的。
8. Vectors in 2D | 二维向量
A vector describes a quantity with both magnitude and direction. In 2D, a vector can be written as a column vector [x; y] or using component form xi + yj.
向量描述的是既有大小又有方向的量。在二维中，向量可用列向量 [x; y] 或分量形式 xi + yj 表示。
scalar multiplication are performed component-wise. The magnitude of vector v = [x; y] is |v| = √x² + y².
向量的加减法和数乘均按分量进行。向量 v = [x; y] 的模长为 |v| = √x² + y²。
You should be able to solve geometry problems using vectors, such as proving that three points are collinear or finding ratios of line segments.
你应能利用向量解决几何问题，例如证明三点共线，或求线段之比。
The dot product (scalar product) a·b = |a||b| d to find the angle between two vectors. Perpendicular vectors have a dot product of zero.
点积（标量积）a·b = |a||b| cos θ 用于求两向量间的夹角。垂直向量的点积为零。
9. Introduction to Differentiation | 微分入门
tion gives the gradient of a curve at a point. For a function f(x) = axⁿ, the derivative f' = naxⁿ⁻¹. This rule applies to polynomials and terms with negative or fractional indices.
微分能给出曲线上某点的切线斜率。对于函数 f(x) = axⁿ，其导数为 f'(x) = naxⁿ⁻¹。此规则适用于多项式以及带有负数或分数指数的项。
The gradient at a specific point is found by substituting the x-coordinate into f'(x). The equation of the tangent can then be written using y - y₁ = m(x - x₁).
将 x 坐标代入 f'(x) 即可求得特定点的切线斜率。切线方程则可利用 y - y₁ = m(x - x₁) 写出。
Stationary points occur where f' um or point of inflection) is determined by the second derivative or by checking gradient signs on either side.
驻点出现在 f'(x) = 0 处。其性质（极大值、极小值或拐点）可通过二阶导数或查看导数两侧的符号变化来确定。
Increasing and decreasing functions: f(x) is increasing where f'(x) > 0 and decreasing where f'(x) < 0. This helps sketch curves without plotting every point.
函数的增减性：当 f'(x) > 0 时函数递增，当 f'(x) < 0 时函数递减。这有助于不逐点描出而直接勾画曲线草图。
10. Statistical Measures and Probability | 统计量与概率基础

P(A or B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A and B), and P(A and B) = P(A) × P(B) for independent events.
概率扩展到利用树图、文氏图以及加法和乘法规则判断组合事件：P(A 或 B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A 且 B)，对于独立事件 P(A 且 B) = P(A) × P(B)。
Conditional probability, P(A| ed. You should be able to solve problems involving selections with or without replacement.
条件概率 P(A|B) = P(A 且 B) / P(B) 也会引入。你应能解决涉及有放回或无放回选取的问题。
