Chapter 94: Advanced Mathematics
In the remote frontier, a literate shepherd boy holds a steam dynamic, grazing sheep while reading with relish:
"When the water is heated, power is generated, so the piston is pushed ......"
Fuxing University, senior leaders, all students, all teachers have one copy.
"This is the direction in which Li Zhen is researching the steam engine!"
"Ah, that's what steam dynamics looks like."
"Amazing, you can think of it."
"Ah, I see, hahaha, I see, I finally understand why the first generation of steam engines exploded. Because there is no air valve. ”
"It's very clear in the book, it's ...... Yi. He even put forward the direction of the future improvement of the steam engine. ”
"What does Li Zhen mean...... Does he want to publish all the scientific knowledge so that everyone can study it together and make progress in this field together? ”
"I probably understand Master Li's dream, I want to drop out of school and go to Laoshan County to join the Kyushu Institute of Physics, and be with Master Li."
“……”
Compared to the first three books, the last book, "Ideas about Thinking", has become a bit unpopular.
But Xu Shenxue was carefully reading this book with few words, and the whole person was extremely shocked in his heart.
"Scientific innovation is not archaeology, but divergent thinking, which broadens our thinking and makes us more confident...... Perhaps, we will be able to create a science that surpasses that of the ancients.
Suppose that everybody in our country had such an idea. If we are committed to basic academic research, and we are committed to the common research idea of combining theory with practice, what will our world become?
Science is never a one-man achievement. Science is progress at the level of a group of people, a country, a world as a whole, and then a small burst, which is called progress. Science is not archaeology, and science is not imitating the legends of the ancients. Science is not copying, nor is it imprisoning the mind in a circle......"
If the first three are science and technology popularization books, the fourth is a philosophy book.
Throughout the text, he used euphemistic language to denounce the death of Kyushu.
Xu Shenxue closed the book, and tears flashed in his old eyes: "I understand why you created the Kyushu Institute of Physics." What you want to do is spread that kind of idea. You want to heal the world's scholars. ”
“……”
Hangseong-gun, public high school.
Zhang Meng personally issued an order to list all the four books written by Li Zhen as the teaching content of public high schools.
On that day, the physics teacher stayed up all night studying the four books, cried with joy, and unveiled layers of fog in the four books.
On the second day, the physics class changed.
"Students, turn the first page of steam dynamics. This book is written by your senior, Li Zhen, the first champion of Kyushu and the president of the Kyushu Institute of Physics. Starting today, we start learning steam dynamics. ”
All the students in the class, their eyes burning, licking their mouths excitedly, and they had to study more seriously than ever. Learn from the knowledge that their seniors have selflessly spread.
Overnight, the mysterious principle of the steam engine ceased to be a secret throughout Kyushu.
Overnight, the law of conservation of energy was known to all scholars, and it was verified by some scholars who read "Ideas about Thinking".
Zhongzhou, Imperial College London.
Just like Fuxing University, everyone has a copy. The entire campus fell into absolute silence, and there was no more hustle and bustle, and everyone in the school had one copy, and everyone looked down at the four books written by Li Zhen.
There was no one in the whole school, no one was playing, there was only the rustling sound of flipping books.
There are constantly people stopping to take notes, and people are constantly writing and drawing on scratch paper. Everyone's seriousness has reached a peak.
Wang Zhongshu, the president of Imperial College, like Xu Shenxue, focused on "Ideas on Thinking".
After reading it, I couldn't calm down for a long time.
turned his back and wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, stunned: "He should be the best of my Imperial Academy." ”
"Fate plays tricks on people. Alas, I now finally know why he didn't enter Imperial College at that time, understand him. But I really only do things and don't do people. Even if you and my son are enemies of life and death, I will treat you as warm as spring. Because of your talent. ”
"It is precisely because of the experience of Fuxing University that there will be light and heat from the Kyushu Institute of Physics. Your future will make Kyushu proud of you. ”
Wang Zhongshu muttered, talking and talking about old tears.
It's a kind of sadness, it's a kind of suffering.
High-level intellectuals, enlightened intellectuals, maybe they can see the death of Kyushu, right? But who can change that? I know it's a terminal illness, but you still have to go with the flow, you can't resist the world on your own.
After archaeology, new products are discovered, and they are immediately imitated, and you can immediately gain fame, fortune and status. If you study academics, you may not be able to study them thoroughly in your lifetime, and if you study them thoroughly, you will not be able to verify and prove them, and you will not be able to gain fame and fortune. It's a matter of the system, who can resist?
Just go along with it.
And the book "Ideas on Thinking" poked at the pain in the hearts of Wang Zhongshu and Xu Shenxue, who taught and educated people.
They also wanted to innovate, and they saw it. But they can't. The underground treasures of this world are rich, but the human heart is barren.
"Wizard!"
For a long time, Wang Zhongshu slapped the table and shouted at the sky.
The cry was heart-wrenching.
There is also a kind of helplessness.
————
A month later.
Li Zhen still leads the Kyushu Institute of Physics, but now he has become a well-deserved Li Shi.
In the past, he led everyone to study the steam engine, and now, he is constantly imparting knowledge to their group of intellectuals who are waiting to be fed.
"Mathematics, physics, chemistry. The three disciplines are accommodating, and the three disciplines all have something in common. Secondly, whether we want to learn physics or chemistry well, we must first learn mathematics. ”
Li Zhen said to everyone in front of the lesson plan: "When we study chemistry, we need to use extremely precise mathematical operations and balance. To learn physics, it is necessary to use accurate data, abstract theories of mathematics, and spatial science and functions of mathematics. ”
Hou Qiang asked, "Master Li, what is a function?" ”
Li Zhen pondered for a while and said, "Function, we can understand it as a concept. And the whole of mathematics, we can also understand it as a very abstract concept. Mathematics is a concept. Except for those laws, and addition, subtraction, and multiplication, it's really a concept. ”
"Why is mathematics a concept? One is one, two is two, how is it a concept? ”
Li Zhen said: "Mathematics is divided into concrete phenomena and abstract phenomena. For example, the number 123, this is the specific number. ABC, on the other hand, is an abstract concept. We can use a letter, or even a symbol, to represent a number. But we don't know what that number is, that's abstraction. ”
Fang Hanxian scratched his ears and stood up: "Since it represents a number, how can you not know what this number is?" Is this still math? Isn't that philosophy? ”
Li Zhen laughed: "Yes, what you said is also right. Mathematics can also be a philosophy. It's also a mindset. ”
Liu Jinghong broke his scalp: "What is ABC equal?" This...... It's kind of fucked up. "He got into the nitty-gritty and couldn't figure out the question, and the concept.
Li Zhen said: "If A represents a set of numbers, then this set of numbers may be (1.2.3) or 4.5.6. If A stands for a number, then the number could be 1, or 2, or anything. ”
Liu Jinghong was going crazy: "So what does it represent?" ”
Li Zhen is also going crazy in his heart, this advanced mathematics is really not easy to talk about. Li Zhen knew what was going on in his heart, but he was embarrassed how he could tell them in an easy-to-understand way. Li Zhen is also crazy.
After being silent for a long time, Li Zhen said:
"So it's a concept. In higher mathematics, if we can't get an exact number, we can make it a symbol, or a character. What we need is to use mathematical abstract thinking and concepts to speculate and judge it. Use laws, formulas, rules, etc., to express it. That's the concept. ”
Liu Jinghong was completely defeated: "I gave up." ”
But Hou Qiang suddenly pushed her glasses, and her eyes lit up. She felt as if she understood something, as if she had grasped something......
There's no way, Li Zhen is only at the high school level of 10,000 years ago. Zhang Zhi was only in his third year of high school when he was his master. Li Zhen only has that level, and he can vaguely understand advanced mathematics, but it is very difficult for you to let him lecture.
Understanding yourself and letting others understand are two different things. Fortunately, there is enough time, and the future is still long.
Take your time.
Just when most people were crazy, Li Zhen looked back, but saw a group of teenagers standing outside the door at some point, extremely familiar. Well, an alumnus of Renaissance University.
The frenzied crowd also stopped, turned their heads and looked in amazement. How did the former classmates come?
"Master Li, we want to join the Kyushu Institute of Physics!"
Outside the door, a group of teenagers shouted enthusiastically.
PS: Let me talk about the book friend (Jun Yang) of this book. 4/3/9/9/5/1/0/9/6。
If you want to add it, add it quickly. You can discuss the future plot direction together, or good ideas, you can discuss it - for the sake of the tribe!
