Vectors, First and Second Order Differentials and a Roots of Polynomials feel to be very standard as of current

I feel like a special case of proof by induction will come up, but hopefully a 12 marker with two will come up

PBI is always a good one

One thing i've noticed lately is not a lot of series work coming up - could be the year it does (not on about method of differences; other methods)

Hoping a volume of revs question with polar in it. Doubt we'll get a parametric one as this is on 2024
