I just want to be a quiet scholar

Chapter 25 You are a Team
In the teaching building, there are more and more students coming and going, going upstairs and downstairs, and they are about to go to class.

"Who is this, so dragging, Shuimu is okay, but Yanda is okay? Do you think Shuimuyanda was opened by your family?"

"Who isn't that?"

"Then who?"

"Shen Qi, the provincial math champion!"

"The man on the banner in the administrative building?"

"That's right, just him, from the second (2) class of high school."

"Schoolmaster."

Several passing girls talked a lot, looking back at Shen Qi as they walked.

"Hello girls, do you have an appointment?" Shen Qi waved to the girls.

Giggling, the girls laughed a few times and ran away.

Director Nie said with a playful smile, "Shen Qi, you didn't dare to flirt with girls in school so blatantly before."

"I used to have bad grades, and I always felt inferior." Shen Qi told the truth.

"Even if you have good grades, you are not allowed to fall in love early." Director Nie put away his smile and said seriously.

"Knowing Director Nie, you should focus on your studies in high school."

"Okay, Shen Qi, it's almost time for class, you go back to the classroom first and consider my suggestion just now."

Back in the classroom of Class 2 of Senior Two, Shen Qi was greeted with all kinds of worship.

"Shen Qi, full marks."

"Please take my knee."

"Excuse me, how can I get full marks every time I take the test?"

"How do you become a math champion?"

The classmates envy, praise and ask for advice.

"A full score is just a random test, it mainly depends on the status." Shen Qi sat down in his seat, took out his books and prepared for class.

"If you don't pretend, we can still be friends." The classmates worshipped Shen Qi just now, but now they don't want to talk to him anymore.

The stars move, spring and summer come.

Blink of an eye to June, hot summer.

After the mathematics index reached level 4, Shen Qi had a deeper understanding of the subject. He was recently studying the journal "Journal of Mathematics" published by the Chinese Mathematical Society and the "Mathematics Herald" published by Yan University, two professional journals in mathematics. It is a domestic core publication, and the tonality of the paper is very suitable for Shen Qi's appetite.

He just took a look, developed ideas and patterns, and studied the insights of domestic mathematics elites on mathematics.

To understand all the papers in the "Acta Mathematica", you must have a certain mathematical foundation. Otherwise, it is like reading a book from heaven. You know all the words, but you don't know what they mean.

The extracurricular interaction between Shen Qi and Zhang Wanbang continued, but Shen Qi found that Zhang Wanbang's reply speed was getting slower and slower.

Zhang Wanbang used to be able to write something to Shen Qi every day, but now, he wrote more than 100 words in a week, and the last sentence was "I have nothing to teach you. The subject of mathematics is mainly self-study".

Think about it, Shen Qi's math index is already level 4, while Zhang Wanbang is systematically defined as a level 5 reference template. The teacher and student are only one level apart. The master has to keep his hands on his own skills. Zhang Wanbang said there is nothing to do. Even if I teach Shen Qi, I can understand it.

"So one day I will graduate from Xinren Village and embark on a new journey of loneliness alone, and this day arrived a few months earlier than I expected."

On June 6, Shen Qi packed his bags and headed to the northern suburbs resort, 25 kilometers away from home, where he will receive a week-long closed training for the provincial team.

The Nanyue Provincial Mathematics Competition Team consists of one leader, one deputy leader, one liaison officer and six team members.

The six team members have all assembled at the northern suburbs resort. The oldest is 18 years old and the youngest is 16 years old. The six of them are the best teenagers in the province in this age group.

The reason why the training site is located in the suburbs is because the mountains and rivers are beautiful and it is very quiet.

Shen Qi was quite satisfied with the logistical arrangements. There was food, drink and WIFI here, and the two lived in a standard room.

The closed training was not as Shen Qi expected. All the team members were locked in a small dark room, and they gave me questions and answers.

In fact, the daily training course is only 4 hours. The rest of the time, the team members love to play with mobile phones, play games, read novels, and have free activities.

The team leader is the vice president of the Provincial Mathematical Society, who is responsible for the daily teaching.

"Who can tell me what the essence of a function is? Please answer in just one sentence." The vice president asked a question in today's lecture.

"Functions, to put it bluntly, are the study of change and invariance." Shen Qi was the first to speak.

"Oh, is that right? Do other students have anything to add?" the vice president asked.

The other team members shook their heads and nodded, agreeing with Shen Qi's point of view.

"Shen Qi is right, function is the study of change and invariance. Next, let's enter the content of the next part and arrange and combine them."

For the past three days, the vice president has only taught concepts and not specific topics. He believes that teaching students one way of thinking is more effective than teaching them to do a hundred questions.

"Okay, that's it for today's professional class. Next, I want to talk about something easy. You have been learning mathematics since the first grade of elementary school or even in kindergarten. Do you know when mathematics first appeared and who invented it? ?" The vice president is going to talk about the history of mathematics.

It was Shen Qi who spoke first: "I've watched CCTV's science and education films, and aside from the way primitive people exchange things for things, mathematics in the true sense first appeared around 3000 BC, or it was invented by the ancient Babylonians. Either it was invented by the ancient Egyptians, and there is controversy in the history of mathematics. Anyway, either the Babylonians or the ancient Egyptians, to build the Hanging Gardens and Pyramids, it is impossible not to use mathematical knowledge, the real mathematical knowledge, not the use of mathematical knowledge. It's as simple as changing a cow for a bag of grain."

"I personally prefer the ancient Babylonians. Of course, what I said doesn't count. I just communicate and discuss with the students." The vice president wrote some strange symbols on the blackboard and asked, "You know what I wrote is what?"

The other five teammates were blank, and Shen Qi was also puzzled. He could only guess: "Cuneiform script?"

"Oh, Shen Qi, can you even read cuneiform?"

"I don't understand it. I just guessed that this is the cuneiform script of ancient Babylon. Teacher Tian, ​​didn't you just say that you are partial to the ancient Babylonians?"

"Yes, this is the ancient Babylonian cuneiform script." The surname of the vice president was Tian, ​​and Shen Qi and the others called him Teacher Tian.

After talking, Teacher Tian became unhappy: "The six of you are a Team, a team! Why is it always Shen Qi who speaks alone? A few of you should also express your views and talk about your views on ancient Babylonian mathematics. ."

"We... really don't know, and we can't pretend to know." The team members expressed their helplessness. Let's talk about functions. What the hell are you talking about cuneiform?

"Hey." Teacher Tian sighed, this team hopes to achieve good results in the national arena, and only Shen Qi is the only one. Shen Qi's vision, knowledge and thinking are better than the other five players. Said, this is very important, "Shen Qi, continue to guess, does this string of cuneiform characters I wrote make sense?"

Shen Qi studied it for a long time and said, "I don't know if it makes any sense, but I guess it has something to do with mathematics? Judging from the cuneiform characters drawn by Teacher Tian, ​​there is a certain regularity. The first symbol to the tenth symbol is completely Not the same. But some of the same patterns appear in the following symbols, so Teacher Tian wants to teach us decimals?"

"Do you know the decimal number?" Teacher Tian was slightly surprised, but considering that Shen Qi was the provincial champion, knowing the decimal number was nothing to make a fuss about.

Shen Qi nodded: "I know one thing, the protagonist in "The Martian" was trapped on Mars, and when he was about to die, he relied on the decimal system to get in touch with the Earth headquarters, and finally escaped and returned to Earth. Damn, this book is very good-looking, has a big brain hole, and it's reasonable. I've been very obsessed with science fiction recently, hard science fiction."

"The decimal system was also invented by the Babylonians. It is not difficult to understand. Now I want to talk about sexagesimal. You can listen to it as a hobby and expand your knowledge. It doesn't matter if you don't understand. I know that you are in your own Schools are all masters, but masters are by no means only able to write questions, those who only brush questions are fake masters, and real masters must understand two words - pattern." Teacher Tian continued to draw his The ancient Babylonian cuneiform mathematical symbol, his research on ancient mathematics is similar to Kong Yiji's writing of the fennel bean, and it is difficult to find a close friend.

But now, Teacher Tian has a little friend, and Shen Qizheng listens with interest to him about the mathematics dynasty 5000 years ago...
