  • Things I don’t remember in the IB Math Formula Booklet (by blu3mo)

    • arithmetic
    • geometric
      • However,
    • polynomial
      • sum
      • product
    • If you’re taking 数2B, you should practice solving polynomial integrals quickly (by takker)
      • Like
      • When it comes to the exam, being able to solve area calculations using this is quite important
        • I’m not sure about the common tests. I’m sorry.
      • Use the beta function whenever possible
        • Even if you can’t directly apply it, there are cases where you can use the beta function by making a slight transformation
    • triangle
      • The base of the triangle () multiplied by the height () divided by 2
    • double angle identities
    • compound angle identities
      • These two identities should definitely be memorized (by takker)
        • There are various ways to remember them, such as using mnemonics or deriving them from . You can use whichever method works best for you.
      • Whether to memorize other derived identities depends on the person’s opinion
        • It is certain that memorizing them will increase calculation speed
        • However, I think it’s better to be able to derive them easily from these two identities (by takker)
          • It’s much better to be able to quickly derive them than to just memorize the formulas without understanding their derivation
          • In exams at top universities, you are often asked if you understand the principles and derivation behind a formula rather than just whether you have memorized the formula. So being able to derive them on the spot is advantageous, I think.
          • (/icons/Understand)(blu3mo)
          • By the way, the most advantageous case is when you have memorized them while deriving them multiple times (by takker)
            • Practice makes perfect in this case
      • When you are unsure about a formula, it is effective to substitute random values and check
        • For example, if you are not sure whether is or , you can substitute values like , , or for to confirm
        • In this case,
        • From this, we can see that

      • Is this necessary for 数2B?
        • Oh, I think trigonometric calculus is in the scope of 数III (by takker)
          • (takker) is not from the era of the common tests, so it’s best to ask your teacher about this
    • The notation of has the advantage of omitting fractions, but it can also be confusing in quick calculations (by takker)
      • It’s difficult to calculate , but if it’s written as , you can instantly recognize the form of the equation.
    • You should also be able to derive
