35. Choice (Medium)

"Graduate school?" Ge Juntian smiled bitterly.

When he was about to graduate from college two years ago, graduate school was indeed his first choice. But that day, because of the momentary anger, he resolutely went south, and he buried himself in hard study all day long, and his heart for graduate school gradually faded. At this time, Hui Chengze mentioned it again, which made him feel like a world away. Of course, it's just a feeling, and now he is really reluctant to let him be a junior to his former classmates.

"That's right, go to graduate school!" Hui Chengze nodded affirmatively, "You are very smart, you are very self-taught, and it is estimated that the depth of knowledge mastered by yourself has exceeded the current level of doctors, but there is still a rational side to graduate education, and it has cultivated far more talents than self-learners." In my opinion, it is mainly reflected in the following three points.

"The first is a reasonable teaching plan. It is difficult for self-study to get rid of a shackle, that is, to learn more if you like it, learn less if you don't like it, or even not at all. It may not have any effect in the short term, and it may even feel like a day by day. However, in the long run, it will inevitably lead to the drying up of the knowledge structure and affect the long-term development in the future. Postgraduate education has been tested and adjusted by countless academic institutions around the world to form a set of effective training programs, which is increasingly comprehensive and reasonable for the cultivation of students' knowledge structure, and it has a certain degree of compulsion, whether you like it or not, you must meet the standards, which can ensure the healthy growth of every student's academic career.

"The second is a strong learning atmosphere. Formal and rigorous laboratory education is in the form of a curriculum to ensure that each student can calm down and devote themselves to learning, and teachers with different specialties and students with different thinking can effectively collide ideas, so as to produce a spark of wisdom. But if you study by yourself in Huai'an Mansion alone, no matter how rigorous and conscious you are, you will always be guided by all kinds of complicated affairs in life to fish for three days and dry nets for two days. I want to come up with some wonderful ideas, except for my own sudden whimsy. What could be better?

"The third is effective research methods. It is said that 'the master leads you to the door, and the practice is in the individual', but what does it mean to 'lead in the door'? Does it teach you one, two, three, four, addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, or does it teach you calculus, probability theory, and mathematical methods? I don't think so. The so-called "leading the door" should be to give the students how to learn knowledge and how to study problems, just like teaching you how to cast a net to catch fish, so that you will not have to worry about running out of fish to eat in the future, and if you are given fish by light. Even if you send three tons or five tons, sooner or later you will be empty. From the educational level, the four-year undergraduate education is more about teaching students knowledge and skills, and only at the graduate level will they rise to research methods.

"Your current problem is not that you don't have enough knowledge, but that your knowledge structure is unreasonable, your research methods are simple and crude, you don't have mentors and friends to learn from each other, your academic vision is narrow, and your foundation is not developed enough. I urgently need to come to school to make up for it!"

Ge Juntian was silent. As if reflecting on whether he really had some kind of defect, he replied for a long time: "Thank you for your kindness, but I still want to try for another two years! If there is still no result after two years, I will consider coming back to study with you." ”

Hui Qiongju sneered: "Grandpa, someone Ge found two young and beautiful right-hand men in Huai'an Mansion, serving tea and pouring water during the day, and adding fragrance to the red sleeves at night, I don't know how happy my life is." I've been happy for a long time, how can I go north to study in graduate school with you bad old man?"

Hui Chengze stared at Ge Juntian with a scrutinizing gaze.

Ge Juntian explained helplessly: "Teacher, don't listen to Qiongju's nonsense. I just found two very good math seedlings in the middle school where I taught, and they were very smart, and in just one minute, one discovered that 1729 was a Camino number, and the other found that 1729 was not only a Camino number, but also a taxi number. Now both of them are in their first year of high school. They are young, indeed, and one of them is barely beautiful, but they are all men!"

Hui Qiongju pursed her lips: "Who made you not make it clear to yourself just now!"

Hui Chengze was very interested in this: "Oh? It sounds like those two children are very talented in mathematics! When did they bring them over for me to see, they should be regarded as my apprentices!"

Ge Juntian thought of Zhang Jin and Jiang Shuiyuan, and his face was suddenly full of smiles: "The teacher is right, these two little guys are indeed very talented in mathematics. And the personality is very distinct, it really makes me love and hate! The student who knows that 1729 is a Carmitchell number is called Zhang Jin, he is very honest, and he stutters when he speaks, except for his excellent math scores, he can only be regarded as middle and upper in other subjects. But no matter what kind of esoteric and difficult math books were given to him, he could read them with relish and forget to eat and sleep. I believe that in time, he should be able to make some achievements in mathematical research.

"As for another student who knows whether 1729 is a Camino number or a taxi number, he is called Jiang Shuiyuan, he is so smart that I suspect he must have an IQ of more than 160! I write 150 numbers on the blackboard, and he can remember them all in a few seconds. Show him college math textbooks, and study on his own. A few days ago, I gave a math mock test paper to the senior high school graduates, which was a bit difficult, with an average score of less than 70 points, and the highest score in the grade was only 135 points, and he easily scored 143 points!"

Hui Qiongju was quite surprised: "Is it really fake? Can you remember 150 numbers in a few seconds? Can a first-year high school student easily study college textbooks on his own?"

Ge Juntian shook his head and said: "If you think that he is capable of this, then you are very wrong! His grades are very good, the high school entrance examination is the fourth in the whole province, after entering high school, he has never been out of the top three in the grade, and has long occupied the first place in the grade, you must know that our middle school is the best high school in Huai'an Prefecture, and it is very famous in the country." His Chinese culture skills are also very profound, "Thirteen Classics" and "Twenty-four History" full text recitation, free to quote at will, not long ago in the province's national studies on the difficult selection competition swept the Jiangnan and Jiangbei provinces, if it is not for the change in his family, it is estimated that the laurel will be given to him!

"He is very handsome in appearance and is known as the school grass of the school, and he has a large string of girls behind his ass. And he is also versatile, winning second place in the men's 3000m at the school sports meeting. At the school's New Year's Day party, the dance won the first place in the school. participated in the all-house singing competition and won a championship. …… I feel that he can't stump him except that he can't have children!"

Hui Qiongju was dumbfounded: "Is there such a perfect boy in the world? No, I must meet him!"

Ge Juntian said: "It's not difficult to see him. I've asked him to prepare seriously for the summer and sign up for the National High School Math League in September and October. With his quality, it shouldn't be a problem to reach the final. When he comes to Beijing for training, you should be able to meet him. And with his current level, even if he takes the college entrance examination now, he can be admitted to a key university. If you take the college entrance examination next year, Jingshi University will be nine out of ten!"

Hui Chengze was also aroused: "That kid's name is Jiang Shuiyuan, right?"

Ge Juntian replied respectfully: "Yes, the source of the river that 'my family's river water is the first source'. He is indeed very smart, I have only seen it in my life, and it is a pity not to study mathematics! Unfortunately, his interests and hobbies are too wide, and his personality is on the soft side, and he does not know how to refuse when others ask him for help to participate in any messy competitions. I'm worried that he's too broadly involved, and eventually becomes proficient in everything and sparse in everything, so I have a reluctant request, I would like to ask the teacher when you can take the time to go to Huai'an Mansion to give a lecture in the second half of this year or the first half of next year, and see if you can get his heart into mathematics. I don't know the teacher—"

Hui Chengze laughed: "Wisdom earns a jade unicorn, right? Okay, you just have to arrange it, the old man just wants to see what kind of evil the wizard in your mouth can be!"

"Thank you, teacher!"

Ge Juntian waved his hand: "What are you and my master and apprentice still polite? By the way, aren't you going to stay at Jingshi University for two or three months this time? If there are any problems, we will discuss them slowly in the future, and the old man will not bother you young people. You and Qiongju go out for a walk!"

Hui Qiongju stood up with a smile: "Ge Juntian cowardsky, please!" (to be continued......)
