"Gu Mengxue? It turned out to be her! Jun Xin suddenly. If it is said that after the results of the college entrance examination in July came out, who is the most well-known person in the country, then it must be inseparable from Gu Mengxue. There is no other reason, just because a name is preceded by a specific modifying word - the top liberal arts in the national college entrance examination.

Although he doesn't care about these things anymore, due to too many people's discussions, the name Gu Mengxue is still remembered by Jun Xin. After all, the 80-year college entrance examination is a unified proposition across the country, and the champion must be the first in the country. The gold content is much higher than that of the champions of later generations. Therefore, Gu Mengxue's speech also has a very high gold content.

After listening carefully to a few words, Junxin didn't care, and he didn't have any interest in this kind of cookie-cutter speech. Keep your head down and prepare your speech.

“… Next, I invite Junxin, a freshman in the Department of Mathematics, to give a speech! ”

Junxin tidied up his clothes a little and walked calmly to the rostrum.

"Ladies and gentlemen, hello. Standing on this stage, I would like to share with you some of my thoughts, and it would be a great honor if they could inspire you a little. ”

"My major is mathematics, so I will start from the perspective of mathematics, which may involve some professional problems, and some students will not understand, so please forgive me." Junxin's words were obviously different, and they instantly attracted everyone's attention.

"Some mathematicians are birds, others are frogs. Birds soar high in the sky, overlooking vast mathematical vistas stretching to the distant horizon. They like the concepts that unify our minds and bring together many issues from different fields. Frogs live in the mud under the sky and only see the flowers growing around them. They are happy to explore the details of a particular problem, solving only one problem at a time.

That's what I'm going to talk about today. Math requires both birds and frogs. Mathematics is rich and beautiful, as birds give it vast and spectacular vistas, and frogs clarify its intricate details. Mathematics is both a great art and an important science because it blends universal concepts with profound structures. If it is claimed that birds are better than frogs because they see farther away, or that frogs are better than birds because they are more profound, then these are foolish insights. The world of mathematics is both vast and profound, and we need birds and frogs to work together to explore. ”

"At the beginning of the 17th century, two great philosophers, Francis of England? Bacon (Francis Bacon) and René in France? Rene Descartes, officially announced the birth of modern science. Descartes was a bird and Bacon was a frog. The two men separately described their visions for the future, but their views were very different. Bacon said, "Everything is based on the hard facts of nature as seen by the eye." Descartes said, "I think, therefore I am." ”

According to Bacon, scientists need to travel the globe to gather facts until the accumulated facts reveal how nature moves. From these facts, scientists deduce the laws by which nature works. According to Descartes, scientists only need to stay at home and deduce the laws of nature through pure thinking. In order to derive the correct laws of nature, scientists only need the rules of logic and knowledge of God's existence. ”

"Let's shift our focus from mathematics to theoretical physics, which has a great deal of relevance to mathematics." Junxin began to talk more and more smoothly.

"Under the leadership of pioneers Bacon and DeCarr, science has been moving at full speed along both paths simultaneously for more than 400 years. However, the power to unravel the mysteries of nature is neither Bacon's empiricism nor Descartes' dogmatism, but the miraculous work of the successful collaboration of the two. For more than 400 years, English scientists have tended to baconic philosophy, and French scientists have leaned towards Cartesian philosophy. Faraday, Darwin, and Rutherford were the Baconic school; Pascal, Laplace, and Poincaré are the DiCarian schools. Because of the cross-penetration of these two contrasting cultures, science has been greatly enriched. These two cultures have always played a role in these two countries. Newton was essentially a Cartesian, and he used the pure thinking of Cartesianism and used it to overturn the Cartesian dogma of the vortex. Mary? Curie was essentially a Baconic school who boiled up tons of bituminous uranium slag and overthrew the dogma of the indestructibility of the atom. ”

"In the first 50 years of this century, classical physics was greatly challenged, and the human cognitive world began to change, with the establishment of quantum theory and the creation of the theory of relativity, which greatly changed classical physics. This is essentially the fact that birds connect different disciplines and guide the direction of modern science, but below them, tens of thousands of scientists are immersed in deepening such theories, and they are like frogs, working hard in such a world, in the hope of providing enough knowledge for new birds to make the next theoretical connection and discover new fields. ”

"Nowadays, Einstein's spatiotemporal dynamical field equations, Professor Yang Zhenning's Yang-Mills equations of quantum mechanical gauge fields, and the Higgs mechanism of QCD mass generation mechanism have become the three most important carriages of modern physics, which are the result of the cooperation between birds and frogs."

In 1900, the world-famous mathematician Hilbert put forward the famous 23 problems of Hilbert at the World Congress of Mathematicians, and in the following 80 years, these 23 problems became the guiding program for the development of mathematics, and countless mathematicians were fascinated and struggled for it, Hilbert was a bird, and those countless mathematicians who struggled for it were frogs. Just as Mr. Chen Jingrun proved the Goldbach conjecture to the point of 1+2, Mr. Chen is a frog working the eighth problem of Hilbert's 23 questions, in order to find the final proof to solve the Goldbach conjecture. ”

These words may not be appropriate for me, for I am neither an authority nor a representative, and I may be mathematically successful in the future, but it is in the future, and you here will listen to the opinion of the newborn calf. However, I hope that all of you here can choose your own path for future development, whether it is a bird or a frog, and contribute to the development of science. My Shuimu students are not weaker than others, and at the peak of scientific development, I hope everyone will work together! Thank you! ”

As Junxin's speech ended, there was a round of applause in the auditorium. Although China in the 80s was a bit backward, the people who could sit in the universities were elites. Such an incendiary and inspirational speech was immediately applauded by the audience. The only fly in the ointment may be that the liberal arts students present are slightly dazed and confused.

The leaders and professors sitting on the rostrum are also different, and many professors who know that he has made a little achievement look at the background of leaving the stage and seem to see the rise of a legend. In the middle position, Hua Lao looked at Junxin who was sharp at this moment with a smile and nodded with satisfaction.
