The difference between the first and second postgraduate entrance examination.
The biggest difference between 1 and Math 2 is that:

Mathematics 1 focuses on basic mathematics courses such as linear algebra, probability theory and mathematical statistics, and focuses on the understanding and application of basic mathematical concepts, with a wide range of test sites; The second part of mathematics focuses on calculus, ordinary differential equations, complex variable functions and other professional courses in higher mathematics, and examines the profound understanding and application of mathematical professional knowledge. The following is a detailed description.

1, the examination scope is different.

The examination scope of Postgraduate Mathematics 1 includes basic mathematics courses such as linear algebra, probability theory and mathematical statistics, discrete mathematics and advanced algebra. Mathematics 2 mainly involves advanced mathematics, real variable function, complex variable function, ordinary differential equation and other professional courses. Therefore, there are great differences between Math I and Math II in examination fields and questions, and students need to prepare for the exam.

2. The difficulty of the exam is different.

Because the scope and emphasis of Math 1 and Math 2 exams are different, the difficulty of the two exams is also different. Most candidates think that the initial mathematics test pays more attention to the understanding and application of some basic concepts, and it is easy to have some simple calculation problems; Mathematics II requires higher professional knowledge of mathematics, and many topics need in-depth understanding and flexible application.

3. The coverage of knowledge points is different.

The coverage of knowledge points involved in Math I and Math II is also very different. Mathematics 1 focuses on basic mathematics courses, such as calculus and linear algebra. Mathematics II mainly includes some knowledge points of advanced courses, such as real variable function, complex variable function, functional analysis, ordinary differential equation and so on. Therefore, candidates need targeted selection and review when preparing for the exam.

4, the job search direction is different

From the direction of job hunting, the application direction of Math I and Math II is not the same. Usually, Mathematics I can be applied to finance, management, statistics, computer and other fields. Mathematics II is more applied to theoretical research, college mathematics teaching and scientific research. Therefore, the choice of jobs will also have a certain impact on candidates' choice of examination direction.

5. The test difficulty is increasing year by year.

In recent years, the independent proposition and difficulty of postgraduate mathematics have become higher and higher, and candidates need to pay more attention to the accumulation of basic knowledge and periodic review. Whether it is Math 1 or Math 2, candidates should pay attention to combing, practicing and summarizing the knowledge points of all subjects, and make planned adjustments and arrangements in time planning.
