Chapter 90: The Mathematical Imagination

"Yonas, you're not right in that calculation. Wolf frowned and thought for a moment and said, "I am amazed at your mastery of calculus, which at your age was a school that I had broken down and made me want to give up math for a while. But ......"

But it also meant a turning point, and Wolf took Jonas's calculations and looked at them carefully before he said, "There is no problem with your calculations, and there is no mistake in the way you solve the problem, but your way of solving the problem is wrong." ”

Wolfe, one of the directors of the bank's information department, was a man with a scholarly temperament greater than a businessman's temperament, preferring to immerse himself in academic research, theoretical research, rather than promotion.

Every company or bank has people who may not seem important at all, but they are actually the real cornerstone of the business.

Taking Wolf as an example, in the more than ten years since he entered Hoffmann Bank, he has created a number of new sets of financial management models, designed a number of effective schemes for Hoffman Bank's information statistics and performance statistics, and is a real econometric expert.

The bank could do without Osberg as its general manager, but it could not do without someone like Wolff, who could not be replaced.

After graduating with a master's degree, he joined Hoffmann Bank, where he worked for five years and received a PhD in economics, where he is now chief economist.

Jonas has always had great respect for such people because they are a pure person. "Wolf, what is wrong?"

"I was shocked that you could master so many calculus calculations on your own. But you only grasp the method, but you don't grasp why you use it this way. Therefore, your calculation is partially correct for regions, but it cannot effectively form a connection with other regions, and you cannot establish an overall framework. ”

Jonas was confused, he understood what Wolf meant by not knowing why, but not knowing what was wrong with his calculations.

He asked, "If my calculations are correct, why can't I connect with the other parts......?" I don't think the way of thinking will affect the outcome!"

Wolfe, however, seemed to have cleared up his thoughts, and analyzed: "One of the most important foundations of calculus is the idea of limits, what is the discipline of mathematical analysis? In this process, the mastery of limit theory will affect the process and final result of mathematical analysis.

You are in a very special situation, you are like a construction worker who has mastered the method of building walls, but he can only build walls, and he does not know how to build a house.

In other words, you only understand one aspect of building a house, but you don't know how to lay the foundation, how to paint, how to lay the line, how to build the roof.

Mathematics can never be called a mastery of a method, but more needs the design of the overall framework, that is, the creativity of thinking.

In my opinion, you don't need to study calculus in depth for the time being, you need to re-grasp the basic theory of mathematics, including functions and limits, and you need to re-understand them. ”

Jonas knew that he had been dragged down by the experience of his previous life.

With the experience of going to university in his previous life, he quickly became familiar with some of the calculation methods of mathematics.

However, in his previous life, he studied petroleum, and mathematics was only used in the process of calculating geology, geology and minerals.

Therefore, he took a shortcut and coped with the exam.

He didn't like math much, but found it a bit boring, so naturally he didn't delve into it.

This kind of study for exams simply cannot cope with the need for a comprehensive understanding of mathematics today, but because of this preconceived impression, it affects his current learning.

In addition to the basic solution method, what should be more important is imagination and creativity.

Now he still likes to take shortcuts, but as soon as this sign is revealed, he is discovered by Wolfe.

He closed the book in front of him and asked sincerely, "Wolf, in that case, I won't follow the course recommended by the teacher." Can you help me design a learning path?"

Wolf was very comfortable working at Hoffmann Bank, and the vast majority of people in this era, once they choose a suitable job, few change jobs.

If you can have a good relationship with Jonas as the heir, of course, Wolf will not refuse.

"Your purpose is not to be a mathematician, nor to be an economist," he asked. You just want to be a qualified banker, in statistics, in metrology, to be an insider, right?"

Jonas groaned, shook his head, and said, "No, Hoffman's business is too narrow, and I would prefer to be like my father." He gestured upstairs.

Wolf was the person who had the most contact with the investment department at Hoffmann Bank, and it can be said that Yannick placed the intelligence and information center of the investment department in Lucerne mainly because there was such a metrology expert as Wolfe.

So he understood what Jonas meant, and he was sure. "Do you want to be an expert in financial investment?"

Jonas nodded this time and affirmed, "I want to go in this direction." ”

He said lightly, "No problem, I need to organize it and create a study plan for you." However, you should not neglect to study in school, because I cannot be more proficient in how to teach students well than professors, and the basic education aspect of school is irreplaceable. ”

"I understand. ”

After Wolfe's departure, this morning's study program was interrupted, and Jonasden had nothing to do.

He is a very self-disciplined person, and this kind of character has been honed by time during his work in West Asia and Africa in his previous life.

When he first graduated from university, he was also young, and during his time in South America, he had several Venezuelan girlfriends.

After working in West Asia, Babylon was still at war, and he was stationed in Jordan, where women did not dare to touch it.

After arriving in Africa, I went to several countries, each of which had more than 20 percent or even more than 40 percent of people living with HIV.

With such an environment, coupled with the limited attraction of the black sister to him, he can't be honest if he wants to.

Being in a foreign country, years of loneliness and monotonous life have made him develop a self-disciplined character.

Even if he lives in London in the future, he bought a house in Camden and settled down in Camden in order to pick up girls, and lived the life of being a landlord for female college students, but his self-discipline has not changed.

Camden is located between Regent's Park and the British Library, and although it is not a bustling city centre, it is surrounded by universities and art centres.

Not far from the famous West End of London, which is on par with Broadway, the town is full of female college students and female entertainers.

Jonas bought a house here, and he didn't live much by himself, just to pick up girls.

Therefore, non-beautiful female college students, non-beautiful female artists do not rent.

Leia met on this basis, and after the two knew each other for a few years, although they did not talk about marriage, they got along very tacitly.

However, Leia is seventeen years younger than him in her previous life, born in '98, and now her mother is only four years old......

Retracting his thoughts, he picked up the phone on the table and called home, just as he thought, Kostler and Dinah, two slackers, who had not yet gotten up.

"It's only nine o'clock, it's still a holiday, Jonas, why don't you go alone......"

"Don't even think about it, you two get up and let Callisler take you two to the art center...... No, go to the Paraz Park Pier and I'll pick you up. ”

The art centre dock was overcrowded with people for the Lucerne Classical Music Festival, so Jonas changed the meeting to the nearby Praz Park pier.

He called Stten again and told him that the time was early, and Stten readily agreed to go to the club now, and that he was a real fan compared to Jonas.

After packing his things, Jonas said hello to Deepp and took the elevator to the parking lot on the basement level.

Entering the back row, he took off his long-sleeved shirt, trousers, leather shoes and changed into a white and blue Lucerne football club jersey.

Lucerne's shirt is blue and white, the home shirt is blue and white, the away shirt is white and blue, and now it's too hot and he's wearing the away shirt.

I changed into socks, and I don't need to wear shin guards for the time being, and it's not too late to wear them on the field.

Wearing a pair of half-worn spike football boots, he looked like a professional footballer.

The security guard, Lehrer, saw that Jonas had entered the car and did not move for a long time, came to check the situation, saw that he had changed his clothes, and understood. "Jonas, it's so hot, you're still going to play?"

"The team's summer training camp has started, so I'm going to see if there's a training match. ”

"Then I wish you all the best. ”

Fold the clothes, put them in the pocket, and lay them flat in the trunk. Then I got out of the car and came to the front seat, and drove to pick up Kostler.

Picking up Kostler and Dinah at the pier, they went back to the club on the southern outskirts of the city.

Lucerne FC has been in the Swiss top league since its founding in 1901.

The Swiss league has only 10 teams, which is more competitive, and it is a good thing that it can not be relegated all the time.

However, they have never won the league and have only won the cup twice.

Because the development history of the team is very early, the area of the team is very large, in addition to the standard football field that can accommodate 20,000 people, there are 11 standard football training grounds, a secondary court, a training ground with 12 tennis courts, and an indoor swimming pool.

The tennis training and swimming pool, as well as six football fields, are operated externally, and only six football fields are internal training grounds.

Sterteng was already waiting at the door on his bicycle when he saw Jonas driving over and whimpered. "It's a great car. ”

Jonas smiled and said, "You can have it in the future, too." ”

He nodded. "I'll try. ”
