Chapter 047: The young man is a little spiritual

"I'm a swimmer 6 and have time to swim together. Xia Lu sent a WeChat message to Tang Wan.

At six o'clock in the morning, Xia Lu woke up, and he saw Tang Wan replying: "How many 6?"

The reply time is 3 o'clock in the morning, and my sister is really a night owl.

Xia Lu: "6 Until you don't believe it." ”

Tang Wan: "Empty talk misleads the country, but hard work prospers the country." ”

Xia Lu: "Don't you have to sleep?"

Tang Wan: "I went to class, 88." ”

Xia Lu: "Pay attention to your body. ”

I feel sorry for Senior Sister Wanwan, she did the experiment until the early hours of the morning, slept for two or three hours, and then went to class.

Swiping Tang Wan's WeChat circle of friends to the update a year ago, Xia Lu saw that last year, when Tang Wan was a freshman, she received textbooks, and she actually used a green trash can with wheels as a means of transportation, pushing the trash can full of textbooks back to her dormitory.

There are so many textbooks for medical students that many of them are as thick and heavy as bricks, and if you don't bring a large means of transportation, you have to go back and forth several times with your bare hands.

Later, Tang Wan learned smartly, and when she picked up the textbook for the second time, she dragged a big suitcase to the book collection site.

"In the medical department, women are used for men, and men are used for livestock, and it is not easy for senior sisters, and the animals are also very hard. "Xia Lu got up and washed, and went to class early after eating.

In the first semester of his freshman year, Xia Lu set himself an academic goal of ranking among the top of his peers in terms of GPA.

The so-called top must be at least the top 10%.

There are 26 students in Hony Science Class 1, where Xia Lu is located, and the top 10% of the class are the top two. There are 110 students in Class 1 + Class 2 + Class 3 + Mathematics class, and the top 10% of the science class is the top 11.

The competition is still quite fierce, Xia Lu attended classes on time and actively participated in the tea party of teachers and students.

The professor on duty this Saturday is Yu Feng, and the first-year students of the first class of science are gathered in the tea room of No. 1 of the three houses of Meiyuan, and it is tea time from 2 to 4 o'clock in the afternoon.

Professor Yu Feng's character, the students have learned, you can not go to his high math class, but you must attend his tea party.

Tea time between teachers and students is a typical feature of the small class system, college system, and tutor system of Hongyi School, and there will be a professor or associate professor sitting in the tea room on the evening of Monday to Friday and all day on Saturday and Sunday, so as to interact with students at close range and answer students' confusion in their studies and lives.

"Today is my tea party, so let's use these two hours to talk about math. Professor Yu Feng took a sip of tea and said, "I have finished calculus in class, who remembers what was written on Newton's tombstone?"

Zhang Kai reacted the fastest, and he immediately replied: "Sir Isaac Newton is buried here, he has created unparalleled scientific achievements with extraordinary intelligence, he is the joy of mankind, he is the light of great mankind." ”

"All right, not a word. Professor Yu Feng nodded, and then asked, "What is written on Leibniz's tombstone?"

Zhang Kai was about to score a brace, but who knew that Xia Lu said first: "Leibniz's burial place, just such a sentence." ”

"Well, Leibniz's bones. Professor Yu Feng took another sip of tea and said, "Students, we always know about Newton before we know Leibniz. Any school in the world must first learn Newton's three laws and then come into contact with calculus. This kind of sequential relationship contains the mystery of the advancement of human thinking. The first assignment I gave was to ask the students to write an essay about your personal views on Newton's and Leibniz's ideas. ”

Ouch, I'll go, Professor Yu drank tea and blew water, and inadvertently assigned homework.

The students hurriedly wrote down this math homework, which is usually counted.

"The calculus system used in our high math textbooks is actually the Leibniz system, and the second assignment I assigned is, if Leibniz wins, then where does he win? These two assignments are to be handed to me by the students before the end of this semester, and now please allow me to cross the line, I want to talk to the students about Newton and his optical ......" Professor Yu talked about Bach's fugue, Bernini's sculptures, and Rembrandt's paintings.

"Professor Yu mentioned a lot of baroque artworks, which inspired me. Xia Lu drank Sprite and ate finger biscuits, looking like he was happy. The benefits of Hongyi Academy are really good, you can enjoy free drinks and snacks every day.

"Tell us about your inspiration, Summerway. Professor Yu looked at Xia Lu and made another pot of tea.

"The Baroque style is still worth studying...... Xia Lu said, and he has a general idea of the two usual assignments assigned by Professor Yu.

Whether Professor Yu is in class or participating in a teacher-student tea party after class, his style is to set a theme first, but not to explain the theme in a direct, crude and explanatory way. He will gradually release some clues in the chat and guide students to think.

Newton's thought, Leibniz's thought?

Talking only about calculus, maybe Leibniz won.

So where exactly did Leibniz win?

This kind of question does not appear on the final exam paper of the high school math exam, but in the form of a regular grade, it guides students to take their thinking beyond the boring mathematical formulas.

"If we want to really understand Leibniz and Newton's thought, I think we can go to the church of Toledo and study it if we have the opportunity. Xia Lu's remarks were more tactful and subtle, and he felt that he had probably guessed Professor Yu Feng's thoughts.

Professor Yu talked about a lot of seemingly unrelated digressions, but in fact, there was something to say.

The two usual assignments assigned by Professor Yu, Xia Luzhi thought that the core idea was the difference between linear and nonlinear.

Classical is linear, and the representative figure is Newton.

The Baroque is non-linear, and its representative figure is Leibniz.

The essence of discussing Newton's thought and Leibniz's thought is to discuss the similarities and differences between linearity and nonlinearity, which is very mathematical. The final answer, the absolutely correct answer, should return to the essence of mathematics.

It's good that Xia Lu knows this mental activity, and his usual grades account for 20% to 40% of his scores.

The final exams are all dead questions, and the students in the class should be able to get good scores, and everyone is a person who has gone through the college entrance examination and obtained a high score, and is a top student who stands out from various exams.

If you want to enter the top 10% of outstanding students and become a top student among top students, your grades are very important.

So when Xia Lu was over, it would be good for Professor Yu to understand what he said at the tea party.

"The church of Toledo in Madrid, Spain, is the most typical Baroque building. Our Hongyi Academy students will have the opportunity to study abroad. Professor Yu glanced at Xia Lu silently, this young man is a little spiritual.
