Chapter 602: Academic Journals
"Of course magic can ask for that, because magic is very practical. Sometimes experience can be the difference between success and failure. But math, you can't play like that. Right is right, wrong is wrong. Even if it is right, why it is right, there must be proof; It's not because I'm your teacher that I say yes, that's right. So the question is, when you teach mathematics in the classroom but you make mistakes, do you dare to admit your mistakes when those magicians or apprentices who are not as good as you question them? ”
This rhetorical question is a heart-wrenching question! But the people were also speechless.
At this time, someone seemed to be unwilling to admit defeat and asked, "Do you dare?" ”
Lin said casually: "What don't you dare." I am a magician with no status, no background, from other places, and thanks to a group of respected old-timers who do not dislike my knowledge, they are willing to come to my course with dignity. I'm really wrong, just admit it. The focus is on correcting mistakes and conveying the right knowledge. I believe that there are a lot of people in math who are actually waiting for me to make mistakes. That's not a big problem, because I'm just a mortal who can make mistakes in the face of mathematical truth. In fact, I've made more than one or two mistakes in simple addition, subtraction, and subtraction. ──”
But someone changed the conversation again,
"Ten thousand steps back, even if you really dare to accept the correction of your juniors, but with your status and authority, what apprentice or magician would dare to do this? Correcting a great man with a high position in Estali. If you don't even know you've made a mistake, there are probably two things that will happen. First, the apprentices actually know the correct answer, but they don't dare to say it, they just laugh behind your back, and then become the laughing stock of everyone. Second, the apprentices take what you say as the right answer, and then get it wrong for the rest of their lives. So I'm going to ask you, are you ready to mislead people's children? If you're ready, I'll have no problem, whoever wants to teach math will teach it. Anyway, the most important thing is that I don't teach the students myself, and I won't admit that any stupid mistakes are due to me! Whoever teaches the students is responsible for themselves! ”
There is nothing wrong with what someone says. It is supposed to be the one who teaches the students and who is responsible.
…… But, why is it harsh!
This is truly the voice of everyone.
However, these words are very deep for the magicians who have gone to math class to listen to the lectures.
There are correct answers to math, although in the after-school discussion time, it is the peers who sit in the same class to correct their mistakes. Most of them have a status similar to their own, but there are a few who are not magicians, not even apprentices, but ordinary people who have nothing to do with magic.
When they were corrected by those few people at first, everyone was uncomfortable. It's just that sitting in the same class is not good. But after a long time, there is nothing. Right is right anyway, and wrong is wrong, including the man on the podium. Math is correct, people make mistakes, and if there are mistakes, correct them, and that's fine. It's an idea that someone keeps instilling in the crowd in class.
But when I was standing on the podium, I was pointed at by a group of little ghosts at the bottom and said that I was wrong here, wrong there, what kind of attitude would I have?
I can really say freely: 'Oh, the teacher was wrong, and this is corrected.' 'Is it?'
If such a question is asked, of course, it will be an impassioned answer. But when you ask yourself, what do you really think, and do you need to lie to yourself?
Seriously...... I can't do it.
Even if you really change yourself, but before that, who dares to question yourself?
Is it appropriate for you to teach math in such an environment?
Even if you scolded fiercely before, and you love face, when thinking about things, the masters are still very practical. Because it's not practical and can't work, it's not as mysterious as the earth, and there is really a danger of death here. If you have to support your attitude because of the problem of face, at the moment of life and death, will the god of death spare your life if you look at your face?
Of course it can't be, damn it or will die. Therefore, when the Dharma masters consider problems, they never wishfully assume that things are just as they imagined, and they must think in many aspects. It can also be said that those who die with a hard mouth will not live to their age, and will be eliminated by cruel nature.
Although there are quick-thinking people, they have figured out that there is a big premise for this magician to say these words, that is, if he teaches mathematics himself, he will definitely make mistakes. However, this premise is not inevitable.
If you think about it, the man would say such a thing, in fact, he was not predicting that other magicians would make mistakes, but simply distrusting other people. But no one has the confidence to refute his intentions, because now it seems that no one really knows more than him.
This is something that everyone acknowledges, and that's why we have today's meeting. So many big people have taken the time to gather together, not just to dig some benefits from this science. But now it looks like it's going to go nowhere.
But that's not the end of it. For Lin, there are two kinds of people who covet mathematics, one looking at the money situation and the other looking at the prospects.
The former wants to gain the power to teach mathematics and thus get a piece of the pie in this education market.
Lin doesn't restrict anyone from doing this, but he doesn't take any responsibility, and the reason is very plain. So for the attempt of the former, someone's actions can be said to be directly turning the table and not caring about anything.
Anyway, hundreds of schools of thought are contending, each according to his ability. I can't eat the meat, and I can't drink the broth, it's purely because my own skills are too bad.
However, for the masters who are optimistic about the future of mathematics, these people can't be lifted together, they have to be co-opted. They want to know math, and they need to have access to it.
The mathematics classes now offered at Kabambi College have a flaw for this kind of people who are eager to learn, that is, there are too few people who can attend classes and participate in discussions at the same time. This is limited by the hardware of Kabambai Academy, and the largest classrooms are already full.
Building a big house is impractical. If you want to add a place in the original classroom, you can only have a bunch of gray-haired magicians standing for two hours. …… Guess what someone's final death would be?
Someone certainly has a way to break the game about this. So while eating and drinking, Lin looked at the magicians who were bombarded repeatedly, and seemed a little excited, thinking about the timing of speaking.
There are so many gray-haired old men in front of him, and they look like they have nothing to love. Especially the two Dharma Saints at the main table, although one seems to be watching a big play; The other was no different from the others, all of them were tangled and tangled grievances, lingering on the knotted brow.
Although he knew that the mentality of this group of old men was tenacious enough not to commit suicide easily, someone couldn't help but want to boil them up a little more. Otherwise, everyone wants to catch him for wool, but he will be bald after a long time, and he will not become stronger if he is bald. Anyway, I just talked a lot of nonsense, my mouth was dry, and I hadn't eaten enough when I came to the banquet, so I ate and drank so slowly.
When the heat was almost over, someone wiped his mouth and took another big sip of alcohol with a very low alcohol content, and couldn't understand why someone would get drunk when they drank such a thing. Only then did he knock on the empty wine glass, breaking the mournful silence.
After attracting everyone's attention, Lin got up and said, "Since the theme of this banquet is mathematics, I have something related to mathematics, and I will take this occasion to announce it to you. In eight days, on the first day of July this year, I will be sorting out the content of my first month at Kabambai College, as well as some of the different methods of proof for the same mathematical problems that I have not used in class. These are compiled into a book and ready to be sold publicly. ──”
Speaking of this, Lin noticed that the eyes of some old magicians lit up, but they dimmed again,
In the future, I hope to publish such a book on the first day of every month. In addition to the knowledge I teach in my math class, I also solicit any math knowledge that is not part of my course. Like the same problem, different methods of proof, or any other problem that I haven't asked the same or similar, and then come up with a reasonable mathematical solution to solve it. As long as the mathematical knowledge has not been published before this, and can pass the review and be published in this mathematics book, I will pay the author a fee. ──”
Seeing that some people's eyes are getting brighter and brighter, someone knows that there is a play,
I would like to make it clear that this does not mean that I will buy the method or the proof, but only the part of the proceeds from the sale of the book that belongs to the author. Of course, the remuneration will not be too much, as there are other costs involved, but the author's name and CV will be clearly indicated. There is no restriction on anyone who can submit a manuscript, but it must be the latest research results that have not been published. Because of my existing knowledge of mathematics, there will always be a day when I will finish teaching. I hope to make this book, which is published at a fixed time, a place where people can openly share their latest mathematical knowledge. ”
After saying these words, most of the magicians' eyes lit up, and they were still bright.
This method is actually like the operation of a scientific journal on Earth. The reason why I want to make a journal is because someone has opened the name of mathematics to everyone, and anyone can teach it. In this competitive environment, to win, you have to establish yourself as an authority in the field.
Instead of constantly using updated mathematical knowledge to convince others and maintain their authority, it is better to create an authoritative platform and then be a rule-making person. With such an idea, as early as five days ago, knowing that this banquet had begun, someone was already making relevant preparations.
Sure enough, as soon as the idea came out, many mages wanted to know more about it. Lin also answered them one by one. And the focus of the inquiry is not how to release someone's mathematical knowledge, but about the part where people can submit their own research results.
