Chapter 347: The Boy and the Old Man
Hou Qiang stood up, looked at the manuscript in his hand, and announced:
、
"The first of the two nominees for this year's mathematics prize is Chen Jingrun, an 18-year-old student from Imperial College London. Chen Jingrun proposed the concept of bounded functions in higher mathematics. ”
The other is a senior professor in the Department of Mathematics at Imperial College London, Zhang Kesheng, who is 76 years old this year. Zhang Kesheng's main contribution to mathematics is to explain in detail the concept of indefinite integration in calculus."
Looking at the many people in the field, they are the first two big, and they don't understand it at all. Hou Qiang just explained a few words:
"The bounded function is to let f(x) be a function over the interval E, and if for any x belongs to E, there are constants m and M such that m≤f(x) ≤ M, then f(x) is said to be a bounded function on the interval E. where m is called the lower bound of f(x) on interval E and M is called the upper bound of f(x) on interval E.
Bounded functions are not necessarily continuous. By definition, if there is an upper (lower) bound on D, it means a range? (D) is a set of numbers with upper (lower) bounds. As x gets closer and closer to -1 or 1, the value of the function becomes larger and larger......"
"Bounded functions are extremely important for today's high numbers, and this concept proposed by Mr. Chen Jingrun is very novel and very important for a deeper understanding of the meaning of functions."
looked at the people below who were dumbfounded, their minds were full of confusion, and they were simply listening to heavenly books.
Hou Qiang smiled, she also understood that there is really no way for ordinary people to understand advanced mathematics.
Ever since the advent of higher mathematics, there has been a circle of their own among those who study higher mathematics. That's a high-IQ club. This IQ is not about who is stupid.
Rather, it refers to logical IQ.
The ability to think logically is a talent that advanced mathematicians must have. In fact, very few people have such a talent for logical thinking, and it is precisely because of this that it is impossible for mathematicians to make up for their talent by hard work.
If you don't have talent, you don't have talent. If you have talent, you are genius. You have nowhere to reason.
Only a small number of people in the field were thoughtful, such as Li Zhen. Although Li Zhen's current attainments in the high mathematics world have long been thrown away by Hou Qiang, Li Zhen also has two brushes.
Nodding frequently, he could hear some of the doorways. But they did not dare to express their opinions.
When it comes to Li Zhen's status, less talking and more listening is the last word. Because...... Don't use your own interests and hobbies to challenge other people's jobs.
Li Zhen just sowed the seeds of the high number in this soil, and now they have taken root and sprouted, and that is enough.
So no one asked Li Zhen's opinion, all of them were said by Hou Qiang attentively.
After talking about bounded functions, she found that many people didn't understand at all, so she didn't waste too much tongue to give examples and elaborate on them. Next, the indefinite integrals of calculus are introduced.
Before the introduction, Hou Qiang first gave a brief introduction to calculus and the relationship between calculus and functions. Although it is said from shallow to deep, it still makes people feel that one head is two big.
But it's popular.
Hou Qiang also had to say.
Because the radio outside is spread throughout Laoshan County, how many mathematicians are there in Laoshan County now? Who knows.
At this time, if we can popularize it a little more, we will have one more opportunity to contribute to the mathematical community and create more geniuses to break through that bottleneck. Why not?
"In calculus, the indefinite integral of a function f, or the original function, the antiderivative is a function F whose derivative is equal to f, i.e., F ′ = f.
The relationship between indefinite and definite integrals is determined by the fundamental theorem of calculus. where F is the indefinite integral of f. This is calculus. ”
"If you want to figure it out and verify the concept of indefinite integrals proposed by Mr. Zhang Kesheng, you need to know ...... first."
Outside the Kyushu Academy of Sciences, it was quiet and silent.
Almost seventy percent of the people were all dazed, looking at the radio speakers everywhere in a daze, and after a moment of daze, they shook their heads in a daze.
"What's the point?"
"I don't know...... I'm all dizzy, what F, what integral is not integral. Do you have any points? ”
"Oops, I don't understand, I don't understand at all."
"Is this math? It's not the same as what I used to learn. ”
"Why not count. Are they math or not? Why doesn't a single number appear? Addition, subtraction, multiplication and division are not used at all. ”
"I'm so sorry, I'm sure it's math, but why is it different from what I know."
“……”
Some people were chatting with each other with confused faces.
In the crowd, a teenager yelled: "Don't make any noise, don't do it." ”
A roar in the quiet atmosphere startled everyone, and even the vigilantes kept looking sideways.
Everyone turned their heads, but saw a young man squatting on the ground, holding a pen and a notebook in his hand, frowning and listening to the brisk speed of speech on the radio, and constantly recording in the notebook with an anxious face.
Some people were stunned, hey, someone can understand.
Looking back, in fact, many people in the crowd took out their pens and paper attentively at this time, listening and taking notes.
Someone asked, "You...... Do you understand? What does this mean? ”
The boy blew up: "Don't you make a noise, okay?" Listen carefully. Shh......h
The man was not angry, and quickly lowered his voice, quietly watching them keep recording.
Many people sighed in their hearts, this is really a high-IQ club. Therefore, these people who study advanced mathematics have a very strong sense of happiness. Because there is a saying that people with high IQ can make themselves happy. People with high emotional intelligence can make those around them happy. People with low IQ and low EQ will not make others happy while they are unhappy.
Obviously, this group of high math people is the first group of people. They...... It is to be able to make yourself feel extremely happy in your own circle. That's a kind of happiness that comes from being crushed by IQ. Ordinary people can't imagine how cool that happiness really is.
After Hou Qiang finished speaking, she made some comments. But the reviews are all panacea, and they don't easily express their opinions, which is more powerful. Just let everyone choose for themselves.
Jia Liping said: "Now, please invite the guests to start voting. ”
The guests looked at each other, where did they know who was more powerful. I can't tell.
In fact, high math is an indescribable thing. In other subjects, who is not powerful or not, and whether there is a prospect, you can see at a glance. But mathematics is a very abstract concept in itself.
For example, abstract oil paintings. If you take a painting by a world-class master and ask a normal ordinary person, anyone will think, isn't this just a child's graffiti?
But if you tell him, it's a world-class master. He was immediately able to analyze a wave of strength from the abstract, well, what kind of genre is this, and what is the meaning of it.
There are many people who don't know how to pretend to understand in this world. Of course, there are quite a few of these guests.
Who's better? Where to go? Because even Hou Qiang can't tell who is more powerful.
Obviously, if it is more than personal charm, it must be Chen Jingrun, who is only eighteen years old and has unlimited potential. But now it's not more than people, it's just more than learning......
Say yes and say so. But now everyone knows it in their hearts, because they don't understand the difference between the two. And Hou Qiang is also a panacea, and he did not indicate who he was inclined to in his words. Then everyone is blind audition.
To the young, or to the elderly.
That's a problem.
