这份讲义涵盖主题 1:纯数学(Pure Mathematics)1。它是本课程的代数(algebra)和微积分(calculus)核心。每个 ## 节是一个考纲子主题。
A-Level 数学
剑桥国际 A-Level 数学(9709)是由若干单元组合而成的,而不是作为一个整体教授:纯数学 1、2、3, 力学,以及概率与统计 1、2。你实际要考哪几门取决于学校的报考组合,所以制定复习计划前请先确认 ——如果你走的是统计路线,苦练力学没有意义。
纯数学是主干。其余部分都默认你能不假思索地求导、积分与处理代数,因此纯数学的薄弱之处往往 不是在纯数学卷失分,而是在力学和统计卷失分。过程分给得很宽,但只针对你真正写下来的步骤—— 因此"每一步都写出来"是这门学科中回报最高的习惯。
本站笔记按考纲主题逐页编写,例题按阅卷人期望看到的格式书写。数学是最不适合"读笔记"的学科: 用笔记来打通某个方法,然后立刻回到题目上。

Candidates should be able to: Notes and examples carry out the process of completing the square for a quadratic polynomial $ax^2 + bx + c$ and use a completed square form e.g. to locate the vertex of the graph of $y = ax^2 + bx + c$ or to sketch the graph find the discriminant of a quadratic polynomial $ax^2 + bx + c$ and use the discriminant e.g. to determine the number of real roots of the equation $ax^2 + bx + c = 0$. Knowledge of the term ‘repeated root’ is included. solve quadratic equations, and quadratic inequalities, in one unknown By factorising, completing the square and using the formula. solve by substitution a pair of simultaneous equations of which one is linear and one is quadratic e.g. $x + y + 1 = 0$ and $x^2 + y^2 = 25$, $2x + 3y = 7$ and $3x^2 = 4 + 4xy$. recognise and solve equations in $x$ which are quadratic in some function of $x$. e.g. $x^4 - 5x^2 + 4 = 0$, $6x + \sqrt{x} - 1 = 0$, $\tan^2 x = 1 + \tan x$. 来源:剑桥国际大纲
配方找出顶点 
一座悬索桥:主缆挂成一条抛物线。 一个二次式(quadratic)是形如 $ax^2 + bx + c$ 的一个表达式,其中 $a \neq 0$。字母 $a$、$b$、$c$ 是系数(coefficients,固定的数)。这一节的大部分是关于解方程 $ax^2 + bx + c = 0$。
Completing the square
配方(complete the square)意味着把二次式写成
$$a(x + p)^2 + q.$$这个形式有用:它在 $(-p,\ q)$ 显示曲线的顶点(vertex,转折点),而且它给出一个解方程的快速方法。例题。 把 $9x^2 - 36x + 8$ 写成 $p(x + q)^2 + r$ 的形式。
把因子 $9$ 从前两项提出来,然后在里面配方:
$$\begin{aligned} 9x^2 - 36x + 8 &= 9\left(x^2 - 4x\right) + 8 \\ &= 9\left((x - 2)^2 - 4\right) + 8 \\ &= 9(x - 2)^2 - 36 + 8 = 9(x - 2)^2 - 28. \end{aligned}$$所以 $p = 9$,$q = -2$,$r = -28$。
配方给你顶点:在 x 等于 2 处最小值 -28 The discriminant
$ax^2 + bx + c$ 的判别式(discriminant)是
$$\Delta = b^2 - 4ac.$$它告诉你方程 $ax^2 + bx + c = 0$ 有多少个实根(real roots,实数解):判别式 根 $b^2 - 4ac > 0$ 两个相异(distinct)实根 $b^2 - 4ac = 0$ 一个重复的实根 $b^2 - 4ac < 0$ 没有实根 
$b^2-4ac$ 的符号决定抛物线与 $x$ 轴相遇多少次。 例题。 求常数 $k$ 的值,使 $3kx^2 + (k + 8)x + 3 = 0$ 有两个相异实根。
这里 $a = 3k$,$b = k + 8$,$c = 3$。要两个相异实根你需要 $b^2 - 4ac > 0$:
$$(k + 8)^2 - 4(3k)(3) > 0 \;\Rightarrow\; k^2 + 16k + 64 - 36k > 0 \;\Rightarrow\; k^2 - 20k + 64 > 0.$$因式分解:$(k - 4)(k - 16) > 0$,所以 $k < 4$ 或 $k > 16$。你也需要 $a \neq 0$,所以 $k \neq 0$。Quadratic equations and inequalities
要解一个二次方程(quadratic equation),因式分解、配方,或用公式
$$x = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a}.$$要解一个二次不等式(quadratic inequality)如 $(k - 4)(k - 16) > 0$,找到两个根,然后决定每个根的哪一侧使陈述成立。抛物线(parabola)的一个草图有帮助:曲线在根外面在 $x$ 轴之上(正),在它们之间在它之下(负)。Simultaneous equations
要解一对联立方程(simultaneous equations),其中一个是线性的、一个是二次的,用代入(substitution):把线性方程重排解出一个字母,然后把它代入二次方程。这给出一个单一的二次方程去解。
Equations that are quadratic in disguise
一些方程在 $x$ 的某个函数上是二次的。例如 $x^4 - 5x^2 + 4 = 0$ 在 $x^2$ 上是二次的:令 $u = x^2$,解 $u^2 - 5u + 4 = 0$,然后回到 $x$。你会在三角学中再次用这个思想。

Candidates should be able to: Notes and examples understand the terms function, domain, range, one-one function, inverse function and composition of functions identify the range of a given function in simple cases, and find the composition of two given functions e.g. range of $f : x \mapsto \frac{1}{x}$ for $x \geqslant 1$ and range of $g : x \mapsto x^2 + 1$ for $x \in \mathbb{R}$. Including the condition that a composite function $gf$ can only be formed when the range of $f$ is within the domain of $g$. determine whether or not a given function is one-one, and find the inverse of a one-one function in simple cases e.g. finding the inverse of $h : x \mapsto (2x + 3)^2 - 4$ for $x < -\frac{3}{2}$. illustrate in graphical terms the relation between a one-one function and its inverse Sketches should include an indication of the mirror line $y = x$. understand and use the transformations of the graph of $y = f(x)$ given by $y = f(x) + a$, $y = f(x + a)$, $y = af(x)$, $y = f(ax)$ and simple combinations of these. Including use of the terms ‘translation’, ‘reflection’ and ‘stretch’ in describing transformations. Questions may involve algebraic or trigonometric functions, or other graphs with given features. 来源:剑桥国际大纲
变换图形:平移和伸缩 一个函数(function)是把每个输入送到恰好一个输出的一个规则。把它写作 $f(x)$。复合函数(composition of functions)$fg(x)$ 意味着先应用 $g$,然后对结果应用 $f$。
- 定义域(domain)是允许的输入 $x$ 的集合。
- 值域(range)是函数实际产生的输出的集合。
若不同的输入总是给出不同的输出,一个函数是一一对应(one-one)的。(没有输出被重复。)只有一一对应的函数才有一个反函数(inverse function)$f^{-1}$,它逆转规则。
两个函数的复合(composition)意味着一个接一个地做。$fg(x)$ 意味着"先做 $g$,然后 $f$":$fg(x) = f(g(x))$。复合函数 $fg$ 只在 $g$ 的值域位于 $f$ 的定义域内时存在。
Finding an inverse
要找 $f^{-1}$:写 $y = f(x)$,把 $x$ 变成主语,然后交换字母。
例题。 函数 $f(x) = (x + 3)^2 - 12$ 对 $x \geqslant 0$ 定义。求 $f^{-1}(x)$。
写 $y = (x + 3)^2 - 12$ 并解出 $x$:
$$(x + 3)^2 = y + 12 \;\Rightarrow\; x + 3 = \sqrt{y + 12} \;\Rightarrow\; x = \sqrt{y + 12} - 3.$$你取正平方根,因为 $x \geqslant 0$ 意味着 $x + 3 \geqslant 3 > 0$。所以$$f^{-1}(x) = \sqrt{x + 12} - 3.$$Graphs of inverses and transformations
$y = f^{-1}(x)$ 的图形是 $y = f(x)$ 在直线 $y = x$ 中的反射(reflection)。

把 $y=f(x)$ 在直线 $y=x$ 中反射给出它的反函数;一个点 $(a,b)$ 变成 $(b,a)$。 你应当知道 $y = f(x)$ 的这些变换(transformations):
新方程 对图形的效果 $y = f(x) + a$ 向上平移(translation)$a$ $y = f(x + a)$ 向左平移 $a$ $y = a\,f(x)$ 在 $y$ 方向的伸缩(stretch),比例因子 $a$ $y = f(ax)$ 在 $x$ 方向的伸缩,比例因子 $\tfrac{1}{a}$ 当两个变换被组合时,顺序可能重要。完整地陈述每一个(类型、方向和量)。

加到输出或输入上滑动曲线;一个乘数伸缩它。 探索Explore a function

A function turns each input into exactly one output — drag the coefficients and watch where the curve rises and falls.

Candidates should be able to: Notes and examples find the equation of a straight line given sufficient information e.g. given two points, or one point and the gradient. interpret and use any of the forms $y = mx + c$, $y - y_1 = m(x - x_1)$, $ax + by + c = 0$ in solving problems Including calculations of distances, gradients, midpoints, points of intersection and use of the relationship between the gradients of parallel and perpendicular lines. understand that the equation $(x - a)^2 + (y - b)^2 = r^2$ represents the circle with centre $(a, b)$ and radius $r$ Including use of the expanded form $x^2 + y^2 + 2gx + 2fy + c = 0$. use algebraic methods to solve problems involving lines and circles Including use of elementary geometrical properties of circles, e.g. tangent perpendicular to radius, angle in a semicircle, symmetry. Implicit differentiation is not included. understand the relationship between a graph and its associated algebraic equation, and use the relationship between points of intersection of graphs and solutions of equations. e.g. to determine the set of values of $k$ for which the line $y = x + k$ intersects, touches or does not meet a quadratic curve. 来源:剑桥国际大纲
坐标几何(coordinate geometry)用它们的方程研究直线和圆。
Straight lines
连接 $(x_1, y_1)$ 和 $(x_2, y_2)$ 的直线的斜率(gradient,陡度)是
$$m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}.$$你可以把直线方程(equation of a straight line)写成这些形式的任何一个:$$y = mx + c, \qquad y - y_1 = m(x - x_1), \qquad ax + by + c = 0.$$当两条直线的斜率相等时它们平行(parallel),当它们斜率的乘积是 $-1$ 时它们垂直(perpendicular,成直角)。Circles
圆心(centre)$(a, b)$、半径(radius)$r$ 的圆(circle)有方程
$$(x - a)^2 + (y - b)^2 = r^2.$$一个展开的形式如 $x^2 + y^2 - 6x + 10y - 27 = 0$ 是同一个圆:对 $x$ 和 $y$ 配方以找到圆心和半径。圆的一条切线(tangent)在一个点触到它,并在那个点垂直于半径。这个直角事实解决大多数圆的问题。

一条切线触到圆一次并以直角与半径相遇。 例题。 点 $P(1, 1)$ 和 $Q(7, 11)$ 是一个圆的一条直径(diameter)的端点。求圆的方程。
圆心是 $PQ$ 的中点:
$$\left(\frac{1 + 7}{2},\ \frac{1 + 11}{2}\right) = (4, 6).$$半径是 $PQ$ 长度的一半:$$r = \tfrac12\sqrt{(7 - 1)^2 + (11 - 1)^2} = \tfrac12\sqrt{36 + 100} = \tfrac12\sqrt{136} = \sqrt{34}.$$所以圆是 $(x - 4)^2 + (y - 6)^2 = 34$。探索The straight line

The gradient a tilts the line; the intercept b slides it up and down.

弧度制
大纲
Candidates should be able to: Notes and examples understand the definition of a radian, and use the relationship between radians and degrees use the formulae $s = r\theta$ and $A = \frac{1}{2}r^2\theta$ in solving problems concerning the arc length and sector area of a circle. Including calculation of lengths and angles in triangles and areas of triangles. 来源:剑桥国际大纲
什么是弧度? Radians
一个弧度(radian)是另一种测量角的方式。一个弧度是一个圆的中心处截出一段长度等于半径的弧(arc)的角。弧度和度(degrees)之间的联系是
$$\pi \text{ radians} = 180^\circ.$$所以要把度变成弧度,乘以 $\dfrac{\pi}{180}$;要把弧度变成度,乘以 $\dfrac{180}{\pi}$。
一个弧度:弧等于半径的那个角 Arc length and sector area
对于半径 $r$、角 $\theta$ 以弧度计的一个扇形(sector):
$$\text{arc length} = s = r\theta, \qquad \text{sector area} = A = \tfrac12 r^2 \theta.$$一条弦(chord)把扇形切成一个三角形和一个弓形(segment)。弓形面积是扇形减三角形:$$\text{segment} = \tfrac12 r^2 \theta - \tfrac12 r^2 \sin\theta = \tfrac12 r^2(\theta - \sin\theta).$$
着色的弓形是扇形中弦和弧之间的部分。 例题。 一个扇形有中心 $O$,而 $O$ 处的角是 $\tfrac{2}{3}\pi$ 弧度。证明弦截出的弓形有约 $0.614 r^2$ 的面积。
$$\text{segment} = \tfrac12 r^2\left(\tfrac{2}{3}\pi - \sin\tfrac{2}{3}\pi\right) = \tfrac12 r^2(2.0944 - 0.8660) = \tfrac12 r^2(1.2284) \approx 0.614 r^2.$$探索Radians, arcs and sectors
Change the angle (in radians) and radius. See the arc length $s = r\theta$ and the sector area $\tfrac12 r^2\theta$ update.

三角学
大纲
Candidates should be able to: Notes and examples sketch and use graphs of the sine, cosine and tangent functions (for angles of any size, and using either degrees or radians) Including e.g. $y = 3 \sin x$, $y = 1 - \cos 2x$, $y = \tan(x + \frac{1}{4}\pi)$. use the exact values of the sine, cosine and tangent of $30^\circ$, $45^\circ$, $60^\circ$, and related angles e.g. $\cos 150^\circ = -\frac{1}{2}\sqrt{3}$, $\sin \frac{3}{4}\pi = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}$. use the notations $\sin^{-1} x$, $\cos^{-1} x$, $\tan^{-1} x$ to denote the principal values of the inverse trigonometric relations No specialised knowledge of these functions is required, but understanding of them as examples of inverse functions is expected. use the identities $\frac{\sin \theta}{\cos \theta} \equiv \tan \theta$ and $\sin^2 \theta + \cos^2 \theta \equiv 1$ e.g. in proving identities, simplifying expressions and solving equations. find all the solutions of simple trigonometrical equations lying in a specified interval (general forms of solution are not included). e.g. solve $3 \sin 2x + 1 = 0$ for $-\pi < x < \pi$, $3 \sin^2 \theta - 5 \cos \theta - 1 = 0$ for $0^\circ \leqslant \theta \leqslant 360^\circ$. 来源:剑桥国际大纲
一条正弦曲线的振幅、周期和中线 单位圆画出正弦曲线 
一个摩天轮:轮缘上的一个点像一条正弦曲线一样上升和下降。 Graphs and exact values
你必须知道正弦(sine)、余弦(cosine)和正切函数(tangent function,写作 $\sin$、$\cos$、$\tan$)的图形的形状。正弦和余弦图形在 $-1$ 和 $1$ 之间波动,并每 $360^\circ$($2\pi$)重复。学习这些精确值:
$\theta$ $30^\circ$ $45^\circ$ $60^\circ$ $\sin\theta$ $\tfrac12$ $\tfrac{1}{\sqrt2}$ $\tfrac{\sqrt3}{2}$ $\cos\theta$ $\tfrac{\sqrt3}{2}$ $\tfrac{1}{\sqrt2}$ $\tfrac12$ $\tan\theta$ $\tfrac{1}{\sqrt3}$ $1$ $\sqrt3$ 
在一圈上 $\sin$ 和 $\cos$ 保持在 $-1$ 和 $1$ 之间;$\tan$ 在 $90^\circ$ 和 $270^\circ$ 冲走。 记号 $\sin^{-1}x$、$\cos^{-1}x$、$\tan^{-1}x$ 意味着反(inverse)角(主值(principal value))。
Identities
一个恒等式(identity)对角的每个值都为真。你必须知道的两个是
$$\tan\theta \equiv \frac{\sin\theta}{\cos\theta}, \qquad \sin^2\theta + \cos^2\theta \equiv 1.$$用它们重写一个方程,使它只含一个三角函数。Solving trigonometric equations
要解一个三角方程(trigonometric equation),先把它化简到一个函数,然后在给定的区间里找到每个解。
例题。 解 $6\sin\theta = 1 + \dfrac{2}{\sin\theta}$,对 $-180^\circ < \theta < 180^\circ$。
两边乘以 $\sin\theta$ 以消去分数。这构成一个 $\sin\theta$ 的二次式:
$$6\sin^2\theta - \sin\theta - 2 = 0 \;\Rightarrow\; (3\sin\theta - 2)(2\sin\theta + 1) = 0.$$所以 $\sin\theta = \tfrac23$ 或 $\sin\theta = -\tfrac12$。- $\sin\theta = \tfrac23$:$\theta = 41.8^\circ$ 或 $\theta = 180^\circ - 41.8^\circ = 138.2^\circ$。
- $\sin\theta = -\tfrac12$:$\theta = -30^\circ$ 或 $\theta = -150^\circ$。
四个解是 $\theta = -150^\circ,\ -30^\circ,\ 41.8^\circ,\ 138.2^\circ$。
探索Sine & cosine graphs
Drag the amplitude, period and shifts of y = a·sin(bx + c) + d and watch the curve change against the base wave.
探索Sine and cosine on the unit circle
Drag the angle round the unit circle. The height is $\sin\theta$, the across-distance is $\cos\theta$ — that's where the graphs come from.

Questions may involve more than one progression. use the condition for the convergence of a geometric progression, and the formula for the sum to infinity of a convergent geometric progression. 来源:剑桥国际大纲
帕斯卡三角形给出系数 无穷和填满正方形 The binomial expansion
对于一个正整数 $n$,二项展开式(binomial expansion)是
$$(a + b)^n = a^n + \binom{n}{1}a^{n-1}b + \binom{n}{2}a^{n-2}b^2 + \cdots + b^n,$$其中 $\binom{n}{r} = \dfrac{n!}{r!\,(n - r)!}$ 是一个二项式系数(binomial coefficient)。例题。 求 $(2 - px)^5$ 按 $x$ 的升幂的前三项。
$$(2 - px)^5 = 2^5 + \binom{5}{1}2^4(-px) + \binom{5}{2}2^3(-px)^2 + \cdots = 32 - 80px + 80p^2x^2 + \cdots$$Arithmetic and geometric progressions
一个数列(progression,序列)是遵循一个规则的一列项。
- 一个等差数列(arithmetic progression,AP)每步加一个固定的公差(common difference)$d$。第 $n$ 个项(term)是 $u_n = a + (n - 1)d$,而前 $n$ 项的和是 $S_n = \tfrac{n}{2}\big(2a + (n - 1)d\big)$。
- 一个等比数列(geometric progression,GP)每步乘一个固定的公比(common ratio)$r$。第 $n$ 个项是 $u_n = ar^{\,n-1}$,而 $S_n = \dfrac{a(1 - r^n)}{1 - r}$。

一个 AP 以相等的步攀升;一个 GP 的步以同样的比增长 一个 GP 是收敛的——当 $|r| < 1$ 时它收敛(converges,趋于一个极限)。那么它有一个无穷和(sum to infinity)
$$S_\infty = \frac{a}{1 - r}.$$例题。 一个 GP 的第三项是 $18$,而前三项的和是 $26$。公比是负的。求无穷和。
从 $ar^2 = 18$ 你得到 $a = \dfrac{18}{r^2}$。把这个代入 $a(1 + r + r^2) = 26$:
$$18(1 + r + r^2) = 26r^2 \;\Rightarrow\; 8r^2 - 18r - 18 = 0 \;\Rightarrow\; (4r + 3)(r - 3) = 0.$$比是负的,所以 $r = -\tfrac34$ 而 $a = \dfrac{18}{(3/4)^2} = 32$。然后$$S_\infty = \frac{32}{1 - (-\tfrac34)} = \frac{32}{\tfrac74} = \frac{128}{7}.$$
收敛等比数列:各项趋于零,部分和趋近无穷和 a/(1-r) 探索Arithmetic and geometric sequences
Switch between an arithmetic (add d) and a geometric (multiply by r) sequence and watch the terms and their sum build up.

Candidates should be able to: Notes and examples understand the gradient of a curve at a point as the limit of the gradients of a suitable sequence of chords, and use the notations $f'(x)$, $f''(x)$, $\frac{\text{d}y}{\text{d}x}$, and $\frac{\text{d}^2y}{\text{d}x^2}$ for first and second derivatives Only an informal understanding of the idea of a limit is expected. e.g. includes consideration of the gradient of the chord joining the points with $x$ coordinates $2$ and $(2 + h)$ on the curve $y = x^3$. Formal use of the general method of differentiation from first principles is not required. use the derivative of $x^n$ (for any rational $n$), together with constant multiples, sums and differences of functions, and of composite functions using the chain rule e.g. find $\frac{\text{d}y}{\text{d}x}$, given $y = \sqrt{2x^3 + 5}$. apply differentiation to gradients, tangents and normals, increasing and decreasing functions and rates of change Including connected rates of change, e.g. given the rate of increase of the radius of a circle, find the rate of increase of the area for a specific value of one of the variables. locate stationary points and determine their nature, and use information about stationary points in sketching graphs. Including use of the second derivative for identifying maxima and minima; alternatives may be used in questions where no method is specified. Knowledge of points of inflexion is not included. 来源:剑桥国际大纲
从第一原理微分 微分(differentiation)找出每个点处的曲线斜率(gradient of a curve)。斜率是越来越短的弦的斜率的极限(limit),叫导数(derivative)。
The rules
把导数写作 $f'(x)$ 或 $\dfrac{dy}{dx}$。基本规则是
$$\frac{d}{dx}\left(x^n\right) = n x^{n-1} \quad \text{for any rational } n.$$逐项微分和,并对一个函数内部的一个函数用链式法则(chain rule):$$\frac{d}{dx}\,f(g(x)) = f'(g(x)) \cdot g'(x).$$再次微分给出二阶导数(second derivative)$f''(x)$ 或 $\dfrac{d^2y}{dx^2}$。Using the derivative
- 切线和法线。 曲线在一个点的斜率是那里切线(tangent)的斜率。法线(normal)垂直于切线,所以它的斜率是 $-\dfrac{1}{\text{(tangent gradient)}}$。
- 递增或递减。 函数在 $\dfrac{dy}{dx} > 0$ 处是一个增函数(increasing function),在 $\dfrac{dy}{dx} < 0$ 处是一个减函数(decreasing function)。
- 变化率。 一个导数是一个变化率(rate of change)。相连的变化率用链式法则,例如 $\dfrac{dy}{dt} = \dfrac{dy}{dx}\cdot\dfrac{dx}{dt}$。
Stationary points
一个驻点(stationary point)是 $\dfrac{dy}{dx} = 0$ 的地方。用二阶导数测试它的性质:$f''(x) > 0$ 给出一个极小值点(minimum point),而 $f''(x) < 0$ 给出一个极大值点(maximum point)。当 $f''(x) = 0$ 时测试不确定:该点可能是一个拐点(point of inflexion),曲线在那里改变凹凸方向(弯曲的方式)——检查 $\dfrac{dy}{dx}$ 在它前后的符号来判定。

在一个极大值或一个极小值处切线是平的,所以 $\frac{dy}{dx}=0$。 例题。 曲线 $y = 4x^{1/2} - x$ 在 $x = a$ 有一个极大值点。求 $a$。
$$\frac{dy}{dx} = 2x^{-1/2} - 1 = 0 \;\Rightarrow\; \frac{2}{\sqrt{x}} = 1 \;\Rightarrow\; \sqrt{x} = 2 \;\Rightarrow\; x = 4.$$所以 $a = 4$。探索The gradient at a point
y = ax³ + bx² + cx + d
Slide the point along the curve. The tangent shows the gradient $\frac{dy}{dx}$ there — steeper where the curve bends more.

Candidates should be able to: Notes and examples understand integration as the reverse process of differentiation, and integrate $(ax + b)^n$ (for any rational $n$ except $-1$), together with constant multiples, sums and differences e.g. $\int (2x^3 - 5x + 1) \text{d}x$, $\int \frac{1}{(2x + 3)^2} \text{d}x$. solve problems involving the evaluation of a constant of integration e.g. to find the equation of the curve through $(1, -2)$ for which $\frac{\text{d}y}{\text{d}x} = \sqrt{2x + 1}$. evaluate definite integrals Including simple cases of 'improper' integrals, such as $\int_{0}^{1} x^{-\frac{1}{2}} \text{d}x$ and $\int_{1}^{\infty} x^{-2} \text{d}x$. use definite integration to find: - the area of a region bounded by a curve and lines parallel to the axes, or between a curve and a line or between two curves - a volume of revolution about one of the axes. A volume of revolution may involve a region not bounded by the axis of rotation, e.g. the region between $y = 9 - x^2$ and $y = 5$ rotated about the $x$-axis. 来源:剑桥国际大纲
积分作为面积:黎曼矩形 积分(integration)是微分的逆。逆转幂法则给出
$$\int (ax + b)^n \, dx = \frac{(ax + b)^{n+1}}{a(n + 1)} + C \quad (n \neq -1).$$$+\,C$ 是积分常数(constant of integration)。若你知道曲线上一个点,代入它以找到 $C$。Definite integrals and area
一个定积分(definite integral)有限,并给出一个数:
$$\int_p^q f(x)\, dx = \big[F(x)\big]_p^q = F(q) - F(p).$$一条曲线和 $x$ 轴之间从 $x = p$ 到 $x = q$ 的区域(region)的面积是 $\displaystyle\int_p^q y \, dx$。对于两条曲线之间的面积,积分(上曲线 $-$ 下曲线)。
定积分 $\int_0^4 y\,dx$ 是曲线下着色的面积。 例题。 曲线 $y = 4x^{1/2} - x$ 在 $x = 16$ 再次与 $x$ 轴相遇。求曲线和 $x$ 轴之间从 $x = 0$ 到 $x = 4$ 的面积。
$$\int_0^4 \left(4x^{1/2} - x\right) dx = \left[\frac{8}{3}x^{3/2} - \frac{x^2}{2}\right]_0^4 = \frac{8}{3}(8) - \frac{16}{2} = \frac{64}{3} - 8 = \frac{40}{3}.$$一个广义积分(improper integral)有一个无穷的上下限,或一个被积函数无定义的端点;把它作为一个极限求值。例如,
$$\int_1^{\infty}x^{-2}\, dx=\lim_{b\to\infty}\left[-\frac1x\right]_1^{b}=\lim_{b\to\infty}\left(1-\frac1b\right)=1,$$而 $\displaystyle\int_0^{1}x^{-1/2}\, dx=\left[2x^{1/2}\right]_0^{1}=2$,尽管被积函数在 $x=0$ 处发散,它仍是有限的。Volume of revolution
当一个区域绕一个轴一路旋转时,它扫出一个立体。绕 $x$ 轴的旋转体体积(volume of revolution)是
$$V = \pi \int_p^q y^2 \, dx,$$而绕 $y$ 轴它是 $V = \pi \displaystyle\int x^2 \, dy$。例如,$y = \sqrt{x}$ 下从 $x = 0$ 到 $x = 4$ 的区域,绕 $x$ 轴旋转,有体积 $\pi\displaystyle\int_0^4 x\, dx = \pi\big[\tfrac{x^2}{2}\big]_0^4 = 8\pi$。
把一条曲线下的区域绕 $x$ 轴旋转扫出一个立体;每个薄片是一个面积 $\pi y^2$ 的圆盘,所以 $V = \pi\int y^2\,dx$ 探索Area under a curve
y = ax³ + bx² + cx + d
Drag the limits. The definite integral is the shaded area between the curve and the x-axis.

大纲
Candidates should be able to: Notes and examples understand the meaning of $|x|$, sketch the graph of $y = |ax + b|$ and use relations such as $|a| = |b| \iff a^2 = b^2$ and $|x - a| < b \iff a - b < x < a + b$ when solving equations and inequalities Graphs of $y = |f(x)|$ and $y = f(|x|)$ for non-linear functions $f$ are not included. e.g. $|3x - 2| = |2x + 7|$, $2x + 5 < |x + 1|$ divide a polynomial, of degree not exceeding 4, by a linear or quadratic polynomial, and identify the quotient and remainder (which may be zero) use the factor theorem and the remainder theorem. e.g. to find factors and remainders, solve polynomial equations or evaluate unknown coefficients. Including factors of the form $(ax + b)$ in which the coefficient of $x$ is not unity, and including calculation of remainders. 来源:剑桥国际大纲
The modulus
绝对值(modulus)$|x|$ 是去掉符号的一个数的大小,所以 $|x| \geqslant 0$ 总是成立。$y = |ax + b|$ 的图形是一个从 $x$ 轴弹起的"V"形。解方程和不等式的两个有用规则是
$$|a| = |b| \;\Leftrightarrow\; a^2 = b^2, \qquad |x - a| < b \;\Leftrightarrow\; a - b < x < a + b.$$
取绝对值把直线在轴以下的部分向上折成一个 V。 例题。 解 $|3x + 8| < 9$。
用第二个规则,把不等式写成 $-9 < 3x + 8 < 9$:
$$-9 < 3x + 8 < 9 \;\Rightarrow\; -17 < 3x < 1 \;\Rightarrow\; -\tfrac{17}{3} < x < \tfrac13.$$Polynomial division and the factor and remainder theorems
一个多项式(polynomial)是 $x$ 的幂的一个和,如 $2x^4 + 3x^2 - 5$。它的次数(degree)是最高的幂。当你用一个多项式除另一个时,你得到一个商(quotient)和一个余数(remainder)。
- 余数定理(remainder theorem):$p(x)$ 被 $(x - a)$ 除时的余数是 $p(a)$。
- 因式定理(factor theorem):$(x - a)$ 是 $p(x)$ 的一个因式恰好当 $p(a) = 0$ 时。
例题。 多项式 $p(x) = 2x^4 + kx^3 + kx^2 + 17x + 18$ 有因式 $(x + 2)$。求 $k$。
由因式定理 $p(-2) = 0$:
$$2(16) + k(-8) + k(4) + 17(-2) + 18 = 0 \;\Rightarrow\; 16 - 4k = 0 \;\Rightarrow\; k = 4.$$探索The modulus function
y = a|x − b| + c
The modulus makes a V-shape. Move its vertex with b and c; change how steep the arms are with a.

对数函数与指数函数
大纲
Candidates should be able to: Notes and examples understand the relationship between logarithms and indices, and use the laws of logarithms (excluding change of base) understand the definition and properties of $e^x$ and $\ln x$, including their relationship as inverse functions and their graphs Including knowledge of the graph of $y = e^{kx}$ for both positive and negative values of $k$. use logarithms to solve equations and inequalities in which the unknown appears in indices e.g. $2^x < 5$, $3 \times 2^{3x-1} < 5$, $3^{x+1} = 4^{2x-1}$ use logarithms to transform a given relationship to linear form, and hence determine unknown constants by considering the gradient and/or intercept. e.g. $y = kx^n$ gives $\ln y = \ln k + n \ln x$ which is linear in $\ln x$ and $\ln y$ $y = k(a^x)$ gives $\ln y = \ln k + x \ln a$ which is linear in $x$ and $\ln y$. 来源:剑桥国际大纲

地震强度用对数的里氏震级测量。 
当资源丰富时人口能指数式地增长。 一个对数回答问题"什么幂?"。若 $a^x = y$ 则 $x = \log_a y$。对数和指数(indices,幂)是逆的思想。对数定律(laws of logarithms)是
$$\log(mn) = \log m + \log n, \qquad \log\!\frac{m}{n} = \log m - \log n, \qquad \log(m^k) = k\log m.$$指数函数 $e^x$ 和自然对数(natural logarithm)$\ln x$ 是反函数,所以 $\ln(e^x) = x$ 且 $e^{\ln x} = x$。当未知量在幂中时,取两边的对数。

$e^x$ 和 $\ln x$ 互相抵消,所以每个是另一个在 $y=x$ 中的反射。 例题。 解 $4^x < 0.05$。
$$4^x < 0.05 \;\Rightarrow\; x\ln 4 < \ln 0.05 \;\Rightarrow\; x < \frac{\ln 0.05}{\ln 4} = -2.16 \ (\text{3 s.f.}).$$线性形式(linear form):一个像 $y = Ax^n$ 的关系若你取对数就变成一条直线:$\ln y = \ln A + n\ln x$。把 $\ln y$ 对 $\ln x$ 作图给出一条斜率 $n$、截距 $\ln A$ 的直线,所以你能找到未知的常数。
探索Exponential growth

Change the base b: when b > 1 the curve grows, when 0 < b < 1 it decays — and it always passes through (0, a).

三角学
大纲
Candidates should be able to: Notes and examples understand the relationship of the secant, cosecant and cotangent functions to cosine, sine and tangent, and use properties and graphs of all six trigonometric functions for angles of any magnitude use trigonometrical identities for the simplification and exact evaluation of expressions, and in the course of solving equations, and select an identity or identities appropriate to the context, showing familiarity in particular with the use of: – $\sec^2 \theta \equiv 1 + \tan^2 \theta$ and $\csc^2 \theta \equiv 1 + \cot^2 \theta$ – the expansions of $\sin(A \pm B)$, $\cos(A \pm B)$ and $\tan(A \pm B)$ – the formulae for $\sin 2A$, $\cos 2A$ and $\tan 2A$ – the expression of $a \sin \theta + b \cos \theta$ in the forms $R \sin(\theta \pm \alpha)$ and $R \cos(\theta \pm \alpha)$. e.g. simplifying $\cos(x - 30^\circ) - 3 \sin(x - 60^\circ)$. e.g. solving $\tan \theta + \cot \theta = 4$, $2 \sec^2 \theta - \tan \theta = 5$, $3 \cos \theta + 2 \sin \theta = 1$. 来源:剑桥国际大纲
有另外三个函数,每个是你知道的一个的倒数:正割(secant)$\sec\theta = \dfrac{1}{\cos\theta}$、余割(cosecant)$\csc\theta = \dfrac{1}{\sin\theta}$,和余切(cotangent)$\cot\theta = \dfrac{1}{\tan\theta}$。

$\sec\theta=1/\cos\theta$ 在任何 $\cos\theta=0$ 处上升到一条渐近线。 你必须知道这些三角恒等式(trigonometric identities)并为每个问题选择正确的那个:
$$\sec^2\theta \equiv 1 + \tan^2\theta, \qquad \csc^2\theta \equiv 1 + \cot^2\theta.$$你也用 $\sin(A \pm B)$、$\cos(A \pm B)$、$\tan(A \pm B)$ 的复合角(compound angle)公式、二倍角(double angle)公式$$\sin 2A = 2\sin A\cos A, \quad \cos 2A = 2\cos^2 A - 1, \quad \tan 2A = \frac{2\tan A}{1 - \tan^2 A},$$以及辅助角公式(R-formula)$a\sin\theta + b\cos\theta = R\sin(\theta + \alpha)$,其中 $R = \sqrt{a^2 + b^2}$ 且 $\tan\alpha = \dfrac{b}{a}$。例题。 解 $2\tan^2\theta + 3\sec\theta = 18$,对 $-180^\circ < \theta < 180^\circ$。
把 $\tan^2\theta$ 换成 $\sec^2\theta - 1$ 以得到一个函数:
$$2(\sec^2\theta - 1) + 3\sec\theta = 18 \;\Rightarrow\; 2\sec^2\theta + 3\sec\theta - 20 = 0 \;\Rightarrow\; (2\sec\theta - 5)(\sec\theta + 4) = 0.$$所以 $\sec\theta = \tfrac52$ 或 $\sec\theta = -4$,给出 $\cos\theta = \tfrac25$ 或 $\cos\theta = -\tfrac14$。解是 $\theta = \pm 66.4^\circ$ 和 $\theta = \pm 104.5^\circ$。探索The unit circle
Drag the angle to see how $\sin$, $\cos$ and $\tan$ relate — the key to solving trig equations.

微分
大纲
Candidates should be able to: Notes and examples use the derivatives of $e^x$, $\ln x$, $\sin x$, $\cos x$, $\tan x$, together with constant multiples, sums, differences and composites differentiate products and quotients e.g. $\frac{2x - 4}{3x + 2}$, $x^2 \ln x$, $x e^{1 - x^2}$. find and use the first derivative of a function which is defined parametrically or implicitly. e.g. $x = t - e^{2t}$, $y = t + e^{2t}$. e.g. $x^2 + y^2 = xy + 7$. Including use in problems involving tangents and normals. 来源:剑桥国际大纲
学习这些标准导数:
$$\frac{d}{dx}e^x = e^x, \quad \frac{d}{dx}\ln x = \frac{1}{x}, \quad \frac{d}{dx}\sin x = \cos x, \quad \frac{d}{dx}\cos x = -\sin x, \quad \frac{d}{dx}\tan x = \sec^2 x.$$对于两个函数的一个乘积或一个商,用:
- 乘积法则(product rule):$(uv)' = u'v + uv'$;
- 商法则(quotient rule):$\left(\dfrac{u}{v}\right)' = \dfrac{u'v - uv'}{v^2}$。
当一条曲线由参数方程(parametric equations)$x = x(t)$、$y = y(t)$ 给出时,斜率是 $\dfrac{dy}{dx} = \dfrac{dy/dt}{dx/dt}$。当 $y$ 被隐式(implicitly,没有变成主语)定义时,对每一项关于 $x$ 微分,对 $y$ 项用链式法则,然后解出 $\dfrac{dy}{dx}$。
例题。 给定 $y = 6x\cos(x^2 + 1)$,求 $\dfrac{dy}{dx}$。
用乘积法则,$u = 6x$、$v = \cos(x^2 + 1)$(以及对 $v$ 用链式法则):
$$\frac{dy}{dx} = 6\cos(x^2 + 1) + 6x\cdot\big(-2x\sin(x^2 + 1)\big) = 6\cos(x^2 + 1) - 12x^2\sin(x^2 + 1).$$探索Tangent and gradient
y = ax³ + bx² + cx + d
Move the point: the tangent line is the derivative at that x. Where the curve turns, the gradient is zero.

积分
大纲
Candidates should be able to: Notes and examples • extend the idea of ‘reverse differentiation’ to include the integration of $e^{ax + b}$, $\frac{1}{ax + b}$, $\sin(ax + b)$, $\cos(ax + b)$ and $\sec^2(ax + b)$ Knowledge of the general method of integration by substitution is not required. • use trigonometrical relationships in carrying out integration e.g. use of double-angle formulae to integrate $\sin^2 x$ or $\cos^2(2x)$. • understand and use the trapezium rule to estimate the value of a definite integral. Including use of sketch graphs in simple cases to determine whether the trapezium rule gives an over-estimate or an under-estimate. 来源:剑桥国际大纲
积分是逆微分——逆转每个新的导数;更难的积分可能需要换元积分(integration by substitution,在纯数学 3 中展开)。对于一个线性的内部函数 $(ax + b)$:
$$\int e^{ax+b}\,dx = \frac{1}{a}e^{ax+b} + C, \qquad \int \frac{1}{ax+b}\,dx = \frac{1}{a}\ln|ax + b| + C,$$$$\int \sin(ax+b)\,dx = -\frac{1}{a}\cos(ax+b) + C, \qquad \int \cos(ax+b)\,dx = \frac{1}{a}\sin(ax+b) + C, \qquad \int \sec^2(ax+b)\,dx = \frac{1}{a}\tan(ax+b) + C.$$要积分 $\sin$ 或 $\cos$ 的一个幂,先用一个恒等式去掉这个幂。当你不能精确积分时,梯形法则(trapezium rule)估计一个定积分:$$\int_a^b y\,dx \approx \tfrac{h}{2}\big[y_0 + y_n + 2(y_1 + y_2 + \cdots + y_{n-1})\big].$$
每个宽 $h$ 的条是一个梯形;它们的面积加起来估计积分。 例题。 求 $\displaystyle\int 6\sin^2 x\,dx$。
用 $\sin^2 x = \tfrac12(1 - \cos 2x)$:
$$\int 6\sin^2 x\,dx = \int (3 - 3\cos 2x)\,dx = 3x - \tfrac32\sin 2x + C.$$探索The area under the curve
area = ∫ f(x) dx
The integral still measures area — drag a and b to total the strip under the curve.

方程的数值解
大纲
Candidates should be able to: Notes and examples • locate approximately a root of an equation, by means of graphical considerations and/or searching for a sign change e.g. finding a pair of consecutive integers between which a root lies. • understand the idea of, and use the notation for, a sequence of approximations which converges to a root of an equation • understand how a given simple iterative formula of the form $x_{n + 1} = \text{F}(x_n)$ relates to the equation being solved, and use a given iteration, or an iteration based on a given rearrangement of an equation, to determine a root to a prescribed degree of accuracy. Knowledge of the condition for convergence is not included, but an understanding that an iteration may fail to converge is expected. 来源:剑桥国际大纲
迭代到一个根:骑着切线 许多方程不能精确地解。两个思想帮助你找到一个根(root,一个解)。
- 变号(sign change):若 $f(a)$ 和 $f(b)$ 有相反的符号(而图形在它们之间没有断裂),一个根位于 $a$ 和 $b$ 之间。
- 迭代(iteration):把方程重排成 $x = F(x)$ 的形式,然后用迭代公式(iterative formula)$x_{n+1} = F(x_n)$。从一个初始猜测 $x_0$ 开始并重复。若这些值是收敛的,它们稳定下来并收敛(converge)到一个根。继续下去直到答案稳定到所要求的精度。

$f(a)$ 和 $f(b)$ 有相反的符号,所以一个根被困在 $a$ 和 $b$ 之间。 
每一步上到 $y=F(x)$ 然后横过到 $y=x$;楼梯逼近根。 例题。 一个方程的一个根 $\beta$ 满足 $x = \sqrt[3]{-2x - 4.5}$,而 $-1.4 < \beta < -1.0$。用迭代 $x_{n+1} = \sqrt[3]{-2x_n - 4.5}$,$x_0 = -1.2$。
$$x_1 = \sqrt[3]{-2(-1.2) - 4.5} = \sqrt[3]{-2.1} = -1.281, \qquad x_2 = \sqrt[3]{-2(-1.281) - 4.5} = -1.247, \quad \ldots$$这些值稳定在 $-1.26$ 附近,所以 $\beta = -1.26$(3 s.f.)。探索Where is the root?
y = ax³ + bx² + cx + d
A root is where the curve crosses zero. A sign change in f(x) traps a root between two x-values.

两个新工具加入纯数学 2 的代数。
Partial fractions
一个分母被因式分解的单一分数能被拆成一个更简单分数的和。这叫把它写成部分分式(partial fractions),它使一个有理函数(rational function,多项式的一个分数)容易积分或展开。把形式匹配到分母:
先检查分子的次数低于分母。如果不是("头重"),就先做多项式除法:除法给出一个商(quotient)加上一个余数(remainder)除以原来的分母,然后只拆那个剩下的真分数。
一个分母被因式分解的分数拆成一个更简单分数的和。
$$\frac{1}{(ax+b)(cx+d)} = \frac{A}{ax+b} + \frac{B}{cx+d}, \qquad \frac{1}{(ax+b)(cx+d)^2} = \frac{A}{ax+b} + \frac{B}{cx+d} + \frac{C}{(cx+d)^2}.$$例题。 把 $\dfrac{x+4}{(x+1)(x-2)}$ 表示成部分分式。
写 $\dfrac{x+4}{(x+1)(x-2)} = \dfrac{A}{x+1} + \dfrac{B}{x-2}$,所以 $x + 4 = A(x-2) + B(x+1)$。 令 $x = 2$:$6 = 3B$,所以 $B = 2$。令 $x = -1$:$3 = -3A$,所以 $A = -1$。因此
$$\frac{x+4}{(x+1)(x-2)} = \frac{2}{x-2} - \frac{1}{x+1}.$$The binomial expansion for a rational power
当幂是一个分数或是负的时,二项展开式(binomial expansion)也有效,只要 $|x| < 1$:
$$(1 + x)^n = 1 + nx + \frac{n(n-1)}{2!}x^2 + \frac{n(n-1)(n-2)}{3!}x^3 + \cdots$$例如对 $|x| < 1$ 有 $(1 + x)^{1/2} = 1 + \tfrac12 x - \tfrac18 x^2 + \cdots$。探索Reciprocal curves
y = a/(x − b) + c
Partial fractions split a hard fraction into simple reciprocal pieces — each with a vertical and a horizontal asymptote.

迭代到一个根:骑着切线 子主题 3.2、3.3 和 3.6 是你在纯数学 2 中遇到的同样技能:带 $e^x$ 和 $\ln x$ 的对数定律;恒等式 $\sec^2\theta \equiv 1 + \tan^2\theta$ 和 $\csc^2\theta \equiv 1 + \cot^2\theta$、复合角和二倍角公式,以及 $a\sin\theta + b\cos\theta$ 的 $R$ 形式;以及通过一个变号(sign change)和一个迭代公式(iterative formula)$x_{n+1} = F(x_n)$ 数值地解一个方程。完全像之前一样用它们。

纯数学 3 增加几个强大的方法。
- 一个新的标准积分:$\displaystyle\int \frac{1}{x^2 + a^2}\,dx = \frac{1}{a}\tan^{-1}\frac{x}{a} + C$。
- 部分分式:先拆一个有理函数,然后把每一片作为一个对数积分。
- 模式 $\dfrac{k\,f'(x)}{f(x)}$:这积分成 $k\ln|f(x)| + C$。例如 $\displaystyle\int \frac{2x}{x^2 + 1}\,dx = \ln(x^2 + 1) + C$。
- 分部积分(integration by parts),用于一个乘积:$\displaystyle\int u\,\frac{dv}{dx}\,dx = uv - \int v\,\frac{du}{dx}\,dx$。
- 换元积分(integration by substitution):一个给定的变量替换把一个难的积分变成一个容易的。
例题。 求 $\displaystyle\int x\cos x\,dx$。
用分部积分,$u = x$、$\dfrac{dv}{dx} = \cos x$,所以 $\dfrac{du}{dx} = 1$ 且 $v = \sin x$:
$$\int x\cos x\,dx = x\sin x - \int \sin x\,dx = x\sin x + \cos x + C.$$探索The area under the curve

The general form of the ratio theorem is not included, but understanding that the midpoint of $AB$ has position vector $\frac{1}{2}(\overrightarrow{OA} + \overrightarrow{OB})$ is expected. • calculate the magnitude of a vector, and use unit vectors, displacement vectors and position vectors In 2 or 3 dimensions. • understand the significance of all the symbols used when the equation of a straight line is expressed in the form $\mathbf{r} = \mathbf{a} + t\mathbf{b}$, and find the equation of a line, given sufficient information e.g. finding the equation of a line given the position vector of a point on the line and a direction vector, or the position vectors of two points on the line. • determine whether two lines are parallel, intersect or are skew, and find the point of intersection of two lines when it exists Calculation of the shortest distance between two skew lines is not required. Finding the equation of the common perpendicular to two skew lines is also not required. • use formulae to calculate the scalar product of two vectors, and use scalar products in problems involving lines and points. e.g. finding the angle between two lines, and finding the foot of the perpendicular from a point to a line; questions may involve 3D objects such as cuboids, tetrahedra (pyramids), etc. Knowledge of the vector product is not required. 来源:剑桥国际大纲

像风和水的力是向量——它们既有大小又有方向。 一个向量(vector)既有大小又有方向。把它写成一个列,或写成 $x\mathbf{i} + y\mathbf{j} + z\mathbf{k}$,或写成 $\overrightarrow{AB}$。
- $\mathbf{v} = x\mathbf{i} + y\mathbf{j} + z\mathbf{k}$ 的模长(magnitude,长度)是 $|\mathbf{v}| = \sqrt{x^2 + y^2 + z^2}$。
- 一个单位向量(unit vector)有模长 $1$;把一个向量除以它的模长以构成一个。
- 一个位置向量(position vector)给出一个点从原点的位置;一个位移向量(displacement vector)$\overrightarrow{AB} = \mathbf{b} - \mathbf{a}$ 从一个点到另一个。乘以一个标量(scalar,一个普通的数)伸缩一个向量。
Lines and the scalar product
通过点 $\mathbf{a}$、沿方向 $\mathbf{b}$ 的一条直线有向量方程 $\mathbf{r} = \mathbf{a} + t\mathbf{b}$。两条直线可能平行(parallel)、可能在一个点相交(intersect),或可能是异面直线(skew lines,不平行且从不相遇)。

从点 $\mathbf{a}$ 开始,然后加 $t$ 个方向 $\mathbf{b}$ 的副本以到达直线上的任何点。 $\mathbf{a}$ 和 $\mathbf{b}$ 的数量积(scalar product,点积)是
$$\mathbf{a}\cdot\mathbf{b} = a_1 b_1 + a_2 b_2 + a_3 b_3 = |\mathbf{a}|\,|\mathbf{b}|\cos\theta,$$其中 $\theta$ 是它们之间的角。所以 $\mathbf{a}\cdot\mathbf{b} = 0$ 意味着这两个向量垂直。
数量积挑出 $|\mathbf{b}|\cos\theta$,$\mathbf{b}$ 沿 $\mathbf{a}$ 到达多远。 例题。 求 $\mathbf{a} = \mathbf{i} + 2\mathbf{j} + 2\mathbf{k}$ 和 $\mathbf{b} = 2\mathbf{i} + 2\mathbf{j} + \mathbf{k}$ 之间的角。
$$\mathbf{a}\cdot\mathbf{b} = (1)(2) + (2)(2) + (2)(1) = 8, \qquad |\mathbf{a}| = |\mathbf{b}| = 3.$$所以 $\cos\theta = \dfrac{8}{3\times 3} = \dfrac{8}{9}$,给出 $\theta = 27.3^\circ$。探索Adding vectors and the dot product

一个力(force)是一个推或一个拉。它是一个向量,所以它有大小和方向。因为它是一个向量,你可以把一个力拆成分量(components,通常是水平和竖直),而且你可以把几个力加成一个合力(resultant)。

一个角 $\theta$ 处的力有一个水平部分 $F\cos\theta$ 和一个竖直部分 $F\sin\theta$。 当力平衡时,一个质点处于平衡(equilibrium):力的向量和为零。在实践中这意味着任何方向上的分量加起来为零。

每一道力学题都是这样一幅画。三个力作用在攀岩者身上——竖直向下的重力、沿绳方向的张力,以及来自岩石的推力——因为它们相互平衡,攀岩者才静止悬着,处于平衡。把每个力分解成水平和竖直分量,就把这幅画变成了方程 Friction
当两个表面接触时,它们之间的接触力(contact force)有两部分:法向反作用力(normal reaction)$R$,与表面成直角,和摩擦力(friction)$F$,沿表面,它反对滑动。一个"光滑"表面是一个没有摩擦的模型。
摩擦只能增长到一个最大值。在那个最大值,物体处于极限平衡(limiting equilibrium),即将滑动,而摩擦是最大静摩擦力(limiting friction)。最大值由摩擦系数(coefficient of friction)$\mu$ 设定:
$$F \leqslant \mu R, \qquad \text{with } F = \mu R \text{ at the point of slipping}.$$
在一个粗糙表面上,接触力拆成法向反作用力 $R$ 和摩擦 $F$(最多 $\mu R$)。 由牛顿第三定律(Newton's third law),两个表面以相等且相反的力互相推。
例题。 一个重 $20\text{ N}$ 的方块放在一张摩擦系数 $\mu = 0.4$ 的粗糙水平桌子上。求方块滑动之前能施加的最大水平力。
桌子的法向反作用力平衡重力,所以 $R = 20\text{ N}$。当摩擦达到它的最大值 $F = \mu R = 0.4 \times 20 = 8\text{ N}$ 时,方块处于即将滑动的点。在平衡中施加的力等于摩擦,所以它能抵抗的最大力是 $8\text{ N}$。

在一个斜坡上,把力沿斜坡和与它成直角地分解。 例题。 一个质量 $12\ \text{kg}$ 的方块被一根平行于斜坡的绳沿一个粗糙的平面往上拉。平面与水平成 $20^\circ$,摩擦系数是 $0.4$,而加速度是 $2\ \text{m s}^{-2}$。求绳中的张力。
法向反作用力是 $R = mg\cos 20^\circ = 120\cos 20^\circ = 112.8\ \text{N}$,所以摩擦是 $F = \mu R = 0.4 \times 112.8 = 45.1\ \text{N}$。沿斜坡,$T - mg\sin 20^\circ - F = ma$:
$$T = ma + mg\sin 20^\circ + F = 12(2) + 120\sin 20^\circ + 45.1 = 24 + 41.0 + 45.1 = 110\ \text{N (3 s.f.)}.$$探索Resultant force
F = ma
The resultant force sets the acceleration. Balanced forces ⇒ no acceleration.

大纲
Candidates should be able to: Notes and examples • understand the concept of the work done by a force, and calculate the work done by a constant force when its point of application undergoes a displacement not necessarily parallel to the force $W = Fd \cos \theta$; Use of the scalar product is not required. • understand the concepts of gravitational potential energy and kinetic energy, and use appropriate formulae • understand and use the relationship between the change in energy of a system and the work done by the external forces, and use in appropriate cases the principle of conservation of energy Including cases where the motion may not be linear (e.g. a child on a smooth curved ‘slide’), where only overall energy changes need to be considered. • use the definition of power as the rate at which a force does work, and use the relationship between power, force and velocity for a force acting in the direction of motion Including calculation of (average) power as $$\frac{\text{Work done}}{\text{Time taken}}$$$P = Fv$.• solve problems involving, for example, the instantaneous acceleration of a car moving on a hill against a resistance. 来源:剑桥国际大纲

一个过山车在它上升和下降时把势能交换成动能。 一个恒定力做的功(work done)是力和位移的数量积——力乘以沿力方向移动的距离:$W = Fd\cos\theta$,其中 $\theta$ 是力和运动之间的角。功以焦耳(J)测量。
能量以你能计算的形式出现:
- 动能(kinetic energy,运动的能量):$\text{KE} = \tfrac12 mv^2$。
- 重力势能(gravitational potential energy,高度的能量):$\text{PE} = mgh$。
外力做的功等于总能量的变化。当没有摩擦作用时,总能量保持不变——能量守恒(conservation of energy)。
功率(power)是做功的速率。对于一个沿运动方向拉的力,$P = Fv$(功率 $=$ 力 $\times$ 速度)。功率以瓦特(W)测量。
例题。 一个汽车引擎在车以 $20\ \text{m s}^{-1}$ 在一条水平的路上运动时以 $12\ \text{kW}$ 工作。求驱动力。
$$P = Fv \;\Rightarrow\; F = \frac{P}{v} = \frac{12000}{20} = 600\ \text{N}.$$探索Conservation of energy
Drop the object and watch energy change form. With no friction, GPE + KE stays constant the whole way down.

概率与统计1
这份讲义涵盖主题 5:概率统计(Probability & Statistics)1。它是关于描述数据、计数选择,以及算出事件的机会。
5.1
数据的表示
大纲
Candidates should be able to: Notes and examples • select a suitable way of presenting raw statistical data, and discuss advantages and/or disadvantages that particular representations may have • draw and interpret stem-and-leaf diagrams, box-and-whisker plots, histograms and cumulative frequency graphs Including back-to-back stem-and-leaf diagrams. • understand and use different measures of central tendency (mean, median, mode) and variation (range, interquartile range, standard deviation) e.g. in comparing and contrasting sets of data. • use a cumulative frequency graph e.g. to estimate medians, quartiles, percentiles, the proportion of a distribution above (or below) a given value, or between two values. • calculate and use the mean and standard deviation of a set of data (including grouped data) either from the data itself or from given totals $\Sigma x$ and $\Sigma x^2$, or coded totals $\Sigma(x - a)$ and $\Sigma(x - a)^2$, and use such totals in solving problems which may involve up to two data sets. 来源:剑桥国际大纲
选择一个适合数据的图。你应当能够画和读:
- 一个茎叶图(stem-and-leaf diagram,保留原始值并显示形状);两个数据集用一个背靠背(back-to-back)版本比较——一个共享的中央茎,一个数据集的叶向左增大而另一个向右,这样你能一眼比较它们的中位数和离散程度;
- 一个箱线图(box-and-whisker plot,显示最低值、三个四分位数和最高值);
- 一个直方图(histogram,用于分组数据,每个条的面积显示频数);
- 一个累积频数(cumulative frequency)图(累加的总数,用来估计中位数和四分位数)。

一条累积频数曲线是 S 形的;在总频数的一半处横过读中位数,在四分之一和四分之三处读四分位数 
箱跨越四分位数 $Q_1$ 到 $Q_3$;须到达最低和最高值。 Averages and spread
一个集中趋势(measure of central tendency)是一个单一的"中间"值:
- 平均数(mean)$\bar{x} = \dfrac{\sum x}{n}$(平均);
- 中位数(median,数据按顺序时的中间值);
- 众数(mode,最常见的值)。
一个离散程度(variation)的量度显示数据铺开多少:
- 极差(range of data,最高 $-$ 最低);
- 四分位距(interquartile range,上四分位数 $-$ 下四分位数);
- 标准差(standard deviation)$\sigma = \sqrt{\dfrac{\sum x^2}{n} - \bar{x}^2}$。
你常常从总数 $\sum x$ 和 $\sum x^2$ 工作。标准差的平方是方差(variance)。
例题。 对于 $10$ 个值,$\sum x = 50$ 且 $\sum x^2 = 300$。求平均数和标准差。
$$\bar{x} = \frac{50}{10} = 5, \qquad \sigma = \sqrt{\frac{300}{10} - 5^2} = \sqrt{30 - 25} = \sqrt{5} = 2.24.$$编码(coding)使大数字更容易。用一个方便的假定平均数(assumed mean)$a$,把每个值换成 $t=x-a$。那么 $\bar{x}=a+\bar{t}$,而标准差不变(把每个值平移不改变数据的离散)。所以从编码后的总和 $\sum(x-a)$ 和 $\sum(x-a)^2$ 你直接得到 $\bar x$ 和 $\sigma$,而两个数据集能通过它们编码后的总和比较。

Candidates should be able to: Notes and examples evaluate probabilities in simple cases by means of enumeration of equiprobable elementary events, or by calculation using permutations or combinations e.g. the total score when two fair dice are thrown. e.g. drawing balls at random from a bag containing balls of different colours. use addition and multiplication of probabilities, as appropriate, in simple cases Explicit use of the general formula $\text{P}(A \cup B) = \text{P}(A) + \text{P}(B) - \text{P}(A \cap B)$ is not required. understand the meaning of exclusive and independent events, including determination of whether events $A$ and $B$ are independent by comparing the values of $\text{P}(A \cap B)$ and $\text{P}(A) \times \text{P}(B)$ calculate and use conditional probabilities in simple cases. e.g. situations that can be represented by a sample space of equiprobable elementary events, or a tree diagram. The use of $\text{P}(A|B) = \frac{\text{P}(A \cap B)}{\text{P}(B)}$ may be required in simple cases. 来源:剑桥国际大纲

骰子:概率的一个熟悉的起点。 通过计数等可能的结果、或通过用排列和组合来求一个概率。用这些规则组合概率:
- 对"或"用加法:$P(A \cup B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A \cap B)$;
- 当事件独立时对"且"用乘法:$P(A \cap B) = P(A)\,P(B)$。

两个圆的重叠是 $A\cap B$;加法规则减去它一次,所以它不被数两次。 若两个事件不能都发生,它们是互斥事件(mutually exclusive events);若一个发生不改变另一个的机会,它们是独立事件(independent events)。要测试独立性,检查是否 $P(A \cap B) = P(A)\times P(B)$。一个条件概率(conditional probability)是在 $B$ 已发生的情况下 $A$ 的机会:$P(A \mid B) = \dfrac{P(A \cap B)}{P(B)}$。
例题。 事件有 $P(A) = 0.5$、$P(B) = 0.4$ 和 $P(A \cap B) = 0.2$。$A$ 和 $B$ 独立吗?
测试:$P(A)\times P(B) = 0.5 \times 0.4 = 0.2 = P(A \cap B)$。这些值相等,所以 $A$ 和 $B$ 独立。

一个离散型随机变量(discrete random variable)$X$ 取分开的值,每个带一个概率。把它们列在一个概率分布表(probability distribution table)里;概率必须加起来为 $1$。然后期望(expectation,平均)和方差是
$$E(X) = \sum x\,P(X = x), \qquad \mathrm{Var}(X) = \sum x^2\,P(X = x) - \big(E(X)\big)^2.$$两个特殊的模型:
- 二项分布(binomial distribution)$X \sim B(n, p)$,用于 $n$ 个独立试验中成功的数目:$P(X = r) = \binom{n}{r}p^r(1-p)^{n-r}$,带 $E(X) = np$ 和 $\mathrm{Var}(X) = np(1-p)$;
- 几何分布(geometric distribution),用于第一次成功发生的试验:$P(X = r) = (1-p)^{r-1}p$,带 $E(X) = \dfrac{1}{p}$。
例题。 $X \sim B(10, 0.3)$。求 $P(X = 2)$ 和 $E(X)$。
$$P(X = 2) = \binom{10}{2}(0.3)^2(0.7)^8 = 45 \times 0.09 \times 0.05765 = 0.233, \qquad E(X) = 10 \times 0.3 = 3.$$

一个高尔顿板:球穿过钉子下落堆积成钟形的正态分布。 正态分布(normal distribution)以一个对称的钟形为一个连续型随机变量(continuous random variable)建模。写 $X \sim N(\mu, \sigma^2)$,其中 $\mu$ 是平均值而 $\sigma$ 是标准差。要用表,通过标准化(standardisation)转换到变量 $Z \sim N(0, 1)$:
$$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}.$$然后 $P(X < x) = P\!\left(Z < \dfrac{x - \mu}{\sigma}\right)$,你从正态表 $\Phi$ 读它。

一个正态概率是钟形曲线下的一个面积;标准化把它重新缩放到 $Z\sim N(0,1)$。 当 $n$ 大时,正态分布也是二项的一个好近似(approximation)。因为你用一个连续变量替换一个离散变量,应用一个连续性校正(continuity correction,调整 $0.5$)。

当 $n$ 大时,二项的条跟随一条同样平均值和方差的正态曲线。 例题。 米袋有质量 $X \sim N(\mu, 0.14^2)$。给定 $P(X < 1.48) = 0.22$,求 $\mu$。
从表,$P(Z < z) = 0.22$ 给出 $z = -0.772$。所以
$$\frac{1.48 - \mu}{0.14} = -0.772 \;\Rightarrow\; \mu = 1.48 + 0.772 \times 0.14 = 1.59\ \text{kg (3 s.f.)}.$$探索The normal distribution

$$P(X = r) = e^{-\lambda}\frac{\lambda^r}{r!}.$$对于一个泊松变量,平均值和方差都等于 $\lambda$。当 $n$ 大且 $p$ 小时,泊松分布是二项分布的一个好近似(approximation)。当 $\lambda$ 大时,正态分布(带连续性校正)近似泊松。例题。 $X \sim \mathrm{Po}(3)$。求 $P(X = 2)$。
$$P(X = 2) = e^{-3}\frac{3^2}{2!} = e^{-3}\times 4.5 = 0.224.$$

Explicit knowledge of the cumulative distribution function is not included. 来源:剑桥国际大纲
一个连续型随机变量(continuous random variable)能取一个范围内的任何值。它的概率来自一个概率密度函数(probability density function)$f(x)$,有两个关键的性质:
$$f(x) \geqslant 0, \qquad \int_{-\infty}^{\infty} f(x)\,dx = 1.$$一个概率是 $f$ 下的面积,而平均值通过积分求得:$$P(a < X < b) = \int_a^b f(x)\,dx, \qquad E(X) = \int_{-\infty}^{\infty} x\,f(x)\,dx.$$累积分布函数(cumulative distribution function)是 $F(x) = P(X \leqslant x) = \int_{-\infty}^{x} f(t)\,dt$;中位数(median)解 $F(m) = 0.5$,而其他百分位数(percentiles)解 $F(x) = p$。

对于一个连续变量,概率 $P(a 是 $a$ 和 $b$ 之间 $f(x)$ 下的面积。 例题。 一个连续变量对 $0 \leqslant x \leqslant 2$ 有 $f(x) = \tfrac12 x$(其他地方为 $0$)。求 $E(X)$。
$$E(X) = \int_0^2 x\cdot\tfrac12 x\,dx = \int_0^2 \tfrac12 x^2\,dx = \left[\tfrac{x^3}{6}\right]_0^2 = \frac{8}{6} = \frac{4}{3}.$$方差(variance)用同样的思路,$\mathrm{Var}(X)=\displaystyle\int_{-\infty}^{\infty}x^2 f(x)\,dx-\big(E(X)\big)^2$。对同样的 $f(x)=\tfrac12 x$ 在 $[0,2]$ 上:$\displaystyle\int_0^2 x^2\cdot\tfrac12 x\,dx=\left[\tfrac{x^4}{8}\right]_0^2=2$,所以 $\mathrm{Var}(X)=2-\left(\tfrac43\right)^2=2-\tfrac{16}{9}=\tfrac{2}{9}$。

Knowledge of particular sampling methods, such as quota or stratified sampling, is not required. • recognise that a sample mean can be regarded as a random variable, and use the facts that $\text{E}(\overline{X}) = \mu$ and that $\text{Var}(\overline{X}) = \frac{\sigma^2}{n}$ • use the fact that $\overline{X}$ has a normal distribution if $X$ has a normal distribution • use the Central Limit Theorem where appropriate Only an informal understanding of the Central Limit Theorem (CLT) is required; for large sample sizes, the distribution of a sample mean is approximately normal. • calculate unbiased estimates of the population mean and variance from a sample, using either raw or summarised data Only a simple understanding of the term 'unbiased' is required, e.g. that although individual estimates will vary the process gives an accurate result 'on average'. • determine and interpret a confidence interval for a population mean in cases where the population is normally distributed with known variance or where a large sample is used • determine, from a large sample, an approximate confidence interval for a population proportion. 来源:剑桥国际大纲

统计研究一个样本以了解一个整个总体。 一个样本(sample)是从整个总体(population)选出的一个小群。一个随机样本需要随机性(randomness),使每个成员有一个被选中的公平机会。
有些方法不令人满意,因为它们是有偏(biased)的:只抽志愿者,或最先到达的 20 个人,会过度代表某些类型的人。一个真正随机的样本用随机数——给总体的每个成员编号,然后抽号(从一张表或一个生成器)来决定谁在样本里。
样本平均值 $\bar{X}$ 本身是一个随机变量,带
$$E(\bar{X}) = \mu, \qquad \mathrm{Var}(\bar{X}) = \frac{\sigma^2}{n}.$$由中心极限定理(Central Limit Theorem),对于一个大样本 $\bar{X}$ 近似正态,无论总体的形状如何。
无论总体的形状如何,样本平均值 $\bar{X}$ 有一个窄的、近乎正态的分布,以 $\mu$ 为中心。 从一个样本你能找到总体平均值和方差的无偏估计(unbiased estimates)。一个置信区间(confidence interval)给出一个可能包含真实平均值的范围。当总体是正态、$\sigma$ 已知(或样本大)时,一个 $95\%$ 的区间是
$$\bar{x} \pm 1.96\,\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}.$$
一个 $95\%$ 置信区间在样本平均值每一侧伸出 $1.96$ 个标准误。 你也能从一个大样本找到一个总体比例(population proportion)的置信区间。
例题。 一个 $n = 64$ 的样本有平均值 $\bar{x} = 50$,来自一个 $\sigma = 8$ 的总体。求总体平均值的一个 $95\%$ 置信区间。
$$50 \pm 1.96\times\frac{8}{\sqrt{64}} = 50 \pm 1.96 \;\Rightarrow\; (48.0,\ 52.0).$$探索The sampling distribution

Candidates should be able to: Notes and examples • understand the nature of a hypothesis test, the difference between one-tailed and two-tailed tests, and the terms null hypothesis, alternative hypothesis, significance level, rejection region (or critical region), acceptance region and test statistic Outcomes of hypothesis tests are expected to be interpreted in terms of the contexts in which questions are set. • formulate hypotheses and carry out a hypothesis test in the context of a single observation from a population which has a binomial or Poisson distribution, using – direct evaluation of probabilities – a normal approximation to the binomial or the Poisson distribution, where appropriate • formulate hypotheses and carry out a hypothesis test concerning the population mean in cases where the population is normally distributed with known variance or where a large sample is used • understand the terms Type I error and Type II error in relation to hypothesis tests • calculate the probabilities of making Type I and Type II errors in specific situations involving tests based on a normal distribution or direct evaluation of binomial or Poisson probabilities. 来源:剑桥国际大纲
一个假设检验(hypothesis test)用样本数据来判断一个断言。你设立两个陈述:原假设(null hypothesis)$H_0$(被检验的断言,通常是"没有变化")和备择假设(alternative hypothesis)$H_1$(你反而怀疑的)。若 $H_1$ 指向一个方向(例如 $\mu > 50$)测试是单尾(one-tailed),若它允许两个方向($\mu \neq 50$)则是双尾(two-tailed)。
你固定一个显著性水平(significance level,常常 $5\%$)、从数据算出一个检验统计量(test statistic),并看它是否落入拒绝域(rejection region,也叫临界域);若是你拒绝 $H_0$,否则统计量在接受域中。

一个 $5\%$ 的双尾测试只在检验统计量落入超过 $\pm1.96$ 的一个着色的尾时才拒绝 $H_0$。 两个错误可能发生:一个第一类错误(Type I error)是当 $H_0$ 实际为真时拒绝它;一个第二类错误(Type II error)是当 $H_0$ 实际为假时接受它。你能从拒绝域求它们的概率:$P(\text{第一类})=P(\text{统计量在拒绝域}\mid H_0)$——这等于显著性水平——而 $P(\text{第二类})=P(\text{统计量在接受域}\mid H_1$ 在一个给定值处为真$)$,从二项、泊松或正态分布计算。
例题。 一个总体被断言有平均值 $50$,带 $\sigma = 8$。一个 $n = 64$ 的样本给出 $\bar{x} = 52$。在 $5\%$ 水平检验平均值是否已改变。
$H_0\!: \mu = 50$ 且 $H_1\!: \mu \neq 50$(双尾)。检验统计量是
$$z = \frac{\bar{x} - \mu}{\sigma/\sqrt{n}} = \frac{52 - 50}{8/8} = 2.$$$5\%$(双尾)的临界值是 $1.96$。因为 $2 > 1.96$,你拒绝 $H_0$:有证据表明平均值已改变。例题(一个二项检验)。 一枚硬币被声称是公平的,但被怀疑正面落得太少:$H_0\!:p=0.5$,$H_1\!:p<0.5$。在 $n=30$ 次投掷里你看到 $X=9$ 个正面。在 $H_0$ 下,$X\sim B(30,0.5)$,所以单尾尾概率是
$$P(X\leqslant 9)=\sum_{k=0}^{9}\binom{30}{k}(0.5)^{30}\approx 0.021.$$因为 $0.021<0.05$,拒绝 $H_0$:硬币看来对正面有偏。(对大的 $n$,二项用一个正态近似;对稀有事件一个泊松检验同样工作。而这里,若规则是"当 $X\leqslant 9$ 时拒绝",那么 $P(\text{第一类})=P(X\leqslant 9\mid p=0.5)\approx0.021$。)探索The rejection region
reject H₀ if z < −z*
The shaded tail is the rejection region — if the test statistic lands there, reject H₀.

考试技巧
- 对稀有的、随机的、独立的事件用泊松分布;它的平均值等于它的方差($= \lambda$)。
- 当组合独立随机变量时,方差相加(它们从不相减)。
- 对于一个假设检验,陈述 $H_0$ 和 $H_1$、显著性水平、检验统计量,以及一个结合上下文的结论。
- 对于一个置信区间,用正确的 $z$(或 $t$)值并用文字解释它。
