Content Summary
To implement the spirit of the new mathematics teaching syllabus regarding the formation of students' "mathematical awareness," and to meet the needs of the college entrance examination's emphasis on "strengthening applications," this book compiles practical application problems closely related to daily life, production, and the economy, with knowledge content largely consistent with the new syllabus. The book is divided into 10 chapters based on knowledge points, including: equations and systems of equations, complex numbers, solid geometry, functions and their graphs, trigonometric functions, lines and quadratic curves, inequalities and extrema, sequences and limits, permutations, combinations, and probability statistics, as well as linear programming. Most of these problems are self-authored or adapted by the author, with some selected from foreign sources. Since the application problems have real-world backgrounds, they are relatable and inspire a desire to solve them. This book greatly helps students enhance their awareness of applying mathematical knowledge and improve their ability to analyze and solve problems. At the end of the book, there are application problems from China's college entrance examinations over the past two decades. This book can serve as supplementary reading material for high school mathematics teaching or as a reference for senior high school students during their final review.
