Chapter 67 A Guide to Mathematics
Mathematics has always tended to be gifted, and no matter who in history studied mathematics because hard work and diligence can determine success, the success of mathematicians is 99 percent important in what Edison said is one percent of inspiration.
However, Junxin believes that after really arriving at university, he has always insisted on studying mathematics, and there is no shortage of mathematical talent. The only thing missing is diligent and diligent research. What is lacking in this is a large number of mathematical works and references.
As a former researcher at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, Jun Xinqun has access to thousands of mathematical monographs, many of which are internal research materials, and many of them have not been published. Time has been reversed to this era, and these references are a great asset to Junxin.
Ten years of darkness, ten years, the world was dominated by a large number of boilerplate plays, quotations, and so on, and those professional books, professional reference books, seemed to have disappeared from the country. Ten years later, a generation is confused after ****, and those who have ambitions are suffering one by one in the predicament of having no books to read.
Therefore, Junxin has never despised these letters, and many letters, although the content of them are naïve, but if they are obviously with an attitude of exploring the world, Junxin always tries to give them a reply or encouragement. But for their level, Junxin can only sigh.
Just do it, Jun Xin has already made up his mind in confidence, so he will sit on his desk, because of the habit of his previous life, Jun Xin will always put a lot of paper on his desk, even in the era of tablet computers, Jun Xin also retains this habit. So there was a thick stack of paper on the desk, almost a thousand or more sheets of paper.
Junxin casually took out a piece of paper, took out the parka pen that the principal had given him, and was just about to write on the paper, when suddenly there was a trace of hesitation. Because there are so many choices, there are so many that Junxin doesn't know which textbook or reference book to use.
The Department of Mathematics of the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton is the two major mathematical centers in the world today, and its research materials are of course huge, even the teaching materials are mostly condensed with the wisdom of many professors, among these professors, there are more than ten or twenty winners of the Fields Medal, several winners of the Wolf Prize in Mathematics, and some winners of famous awards such as the Ramanu Prize and the Abel Prize, and their cognition of mathematics is ahead of the world's mathematicians, close to the essence of mathematics. However, such teaching materials are like days for them, especially those who are spontaneous and do not have a foundation in advanced mathematics.
What Junxin wants is a book whose professional knowledge is closely linked to the research of cutting-edge disciplines, and can contain a lot of mathematical knowledge, and has a certain popular science nature, at least most of the mathematics reference books that only people at the high school and university level can understand, which is a bit difficult to do.
After thinking for a long time, Junxin suddenly felt a light in his eyes, and then wrote the four big words "Math Guide" on the paper in front of him.
The Mathematical Guide, originally known as the Princeton Mathematical Guide, is a professional mathematical reference book edited by Professor William Timothy Gowers. Because the content is detailed, it is compiled in a way that combines papers and knowledge theories, taking into account all knowledge points of mathematics and all branches of mathematics that are known. The book consists of three volumes, divided into eight parts, covering the knowledge of the frontiers of mathematics. It is not only suitable for high school students who have a certain foundation in mathematics, but also extremely important for students majoring in mathematics.
The Princeton Guide to Mathematics, in the process of compiling, cited a large amount of mathematical knowledge, and has been helped by more than a dozen mathematicians, and a total of 133 mathematicians have helped to compile this book, which is of great value. The author only began to compile after winning the Fields Medal, which is of great reference value and significance.
And what Junxin has to do now is to write this book back earlier, so Junxin didn't care about the outside time, and began to write the outline bit by bit.
The Princeton Guide to Mathematics, consisting of 288 long papers and short entries, aims to give an overview of the development of pure mathematics in the last two decades of the 20th century in order to help young mathematicians learn and study its most active parts, which can be read independently. The original book has eight parts, except for Part I, which is a short introduction, and Part VIII, which is the "finale" of the Princeton Guide to Mathematics, the Princeton Guide to Mathematics is divided into three sections, the core is Part IV, "Branches of Mathematics", a total of 26 long articles, introducing the most important achievements and most active areas of pure mathematical research in the last two decades of the 20th century, and Part III. "Mathematical Concepts" and Part V. "Theorems and Problems" are short entries in its service. The second section is the history of mathematics, which consists of Part II, "The Origins of Modern Mathematics" (7 long essays), and Part VI, "Biographies of Mathematicians" (short biographies of 96 mathematicians). The third section is the application of mathematics, namely Part VII, "The Impact of Mathematics" (14 long articles), and Part VIII, "Conclusion: Some Views", which is part VIII of the "Finale" of the Princeton Guide to Mathematics, is a proposal for young mathematicians, and other 7 articles. The Chinese translation is divided into three volumes, the first volume includes parts I-III., the second volume is part IV., and the third volume includes parts V~VIII.
For these achievements, Junxin can't just scribble, but more about Junxin's mathematical achievements in the past 100 years. It's just that Junxin added an extra volume to it, as the content of the ninth volume, which "predicted" the development process and direction of mathematics in the next twenty years.
In the following period of time, after Junxin sent the paper he had written to JAM, he ignored the construction process of the chemistry laboratory, but handed it over to Professor Xu and Professor Zhang, and hid in the office alone to write these things.
However, there are rumors that the legendary student of their department, Junshin, has presided over the compilation of a new mathematics reference book. The reason is that a student of the Department of Mathematics came to the Institute of Mathematics and accidentally saw a little manuscript of Junxin, and keenly discovered the fact that Junxin was writing a professional reference book.
After the principal convened the school's council, he communicated with Junxin and decided to give the highest score directly to all his grades in his subject to support Junxin's writing of professional reference books. Because of his special relationship with Junxin, Professor Hu was able to witness the books compiled by Junxin for the first time, which gave him great convenience. And just like that, time passed day after day.
