I just want to be a quiet scholar

Chapter 507

"Tell me, what's the situation?" Shen Qi heard that his students were isolated, and expressed his concern.

"There is a project that is very compatible with my major. I really want to do it, but my application for project approval was rejected. A similar project was proposed by another associate professor, but it was quickly approved."

In front of the student Xiao Zhu, Yu Lei talked and laughed.

After Xiao Zhu left, Yu Lei confessed his heart, looking a little depressed: "This algebra subject is the most suitable for me, and I have the confidence to do it well, but now... what should I do? What can I do!"

This project is the academic capital for Yu Lei to be promoted to full professor. He has passion, but encounters some obstacles

Snapped!
Shen Qi slammed the table and scolded Yu Lei angrily: "Enough!"

Yu Lei was startled and dared not speak.

"What should I do? What can I do! Woohoo, I'm so pitiful." Shen Qi artistically simulated Yu Lei's inner activities in an exaggerated tone of resentment.

Yu Lei looked at Shen Qi with a complicated expression, speechless.

"I..." Yu Lei came to Shen Qi today, first to complain, and second, to hear Shen Qi's suggestion.

As a result, Shen Qi scolded Yu Lei unexpectedly.

Shen Qi finished scolding Yu Lei, touched his black cat Maxwell, and said calmly: "Yu Lei, be tough, how much money can be approved for an algebra project? At worst, you can raise your own funds and carry out the project yourself. After you go back, you What to do, doing math projects is not playing games, you can’t choose a certain hero if someone else chooses it. He does his thing, you do yours, what does it matter?”

"Okay, I understand." Yu Lei nodded, his mind gradually calmed down.

"I don't want to get involved in the messy things inside you. You have a fair academic competition with others. I support you spiritually, but I won't do something special for you in my name. But if someone, don't care about this Who is the person, and he has unfairly negatively affected you in the non-academic field, then I will say a few fair words for you." Shen Qi made the final conclusion.

"Thank you, thank you brother Qi, I know what to do." Yu Lei stood up and said goodbye.

After a few minutes, Shen Qi left the office and walked towards the teaching building. He has an excellent class today for undergraduates.

This time, Shen Qi stopped talking about advanced mathematics, and talked about advanced generations, because the teaching objects are undergraduates of the School of Mathematics and Physics.

New regulations on undergraduate teaching in colleges and universities have been promulgated for some time. The state requires the cancellation of undergraduate "water courses" and the establishment of more high-quality courses.

Professors must teach undergraduates, and the number of class hours depends on the situation and is arranged by each university.

Yanda’s regulations are that each full-time professor’s undergraduate class hours should not be less than 10 class hours in a semester, and there is no cap.

One semester is one class. Shen Qi has to teach undergraduates at least ten classes in a semester. He is very happy to teach undergraduates. Everyone knows this truth. Strong undergraduates make the country strong.

Shen Qi came to the large classroom, which was full of seats.

Two-thirds of the students are first-year students of the School of Mathematics, and the rest are first-year students of the School of Physics.

Advanced Algebra is a compulsory course for students in the School of Mathematics, and students majoring in Physics in the School of Physics also take advanced algebra.

Strong undergraduates make the country strong, and strong freshmen make undergraduates stronger.

To train socialist successors, we must start from freshman year.

In addition to the first-year students from the School of Mathematics and the School of Physics, some young teaching assistants and lecturers also came to the classroom. They came to listen to Shen Qi's excellent courses with a learning attitude.

Shen Qi came empty-handed, without a lesson plan, the lesson plan was in his heart.

In this high-quality class, Shen Qi started with an emotional recitation:
"Numbers that have been circulating and imaginary numbers that never reveal their true colors describe a simple trajectory and reach a certain point."

"Yuan didn't appear anywhere, but a fairy descended, π."

"π, π, she has fallen into e's domain, and shyly fell in love with i."

"The bodies of π, e, and i are tightly packed together, but when 1 appears and is added to them, the world changes without warning."

"Ashes to ashes, dust to dust, everything to zero."

Shen Qi finished the recitation with a smile, and asked the audience: "Why is it reduced to 0?"

The first-year students of Yanda University are very smart. Someone replied: "Euler's identity!"

"Very good." Shen Qi nodded, and wrote a classic formula on the blackboard, Euler's identity, e^iπ+1=0.

"Professor Shen's teaching method is very interesting." The young teaching assistants and lecturers were eye-opening. Everyone knows Euler's identity, and it was the first time they saw it in the form of prose.

"Actually, the passage I just recited was originally written by Yoko Ogawa, and I made some adaptations. Yoko Ogawa is a female writer. In the novel "The Doctor's Love Calculation", she is beautiful and elegant from the perspective of a writer. Accurately interprets Euler's identity. It seems that Xiao Chuan is a female student who studies both arts and science." Shen Qi is also a well-read person, and he has read more novels than many Chinese students.

"Ms. Ogawa's mission is over, now let's focus on today's protagonist—Ola."

Shen Qi tapped Euler's identity on the blackboard, and said: "Euler is one of the greatest mathematicians. His academic thinking in many aspects is advanced. He looked forward to the things of the 18th century in the 20th century."

"Euler's identity on the blackboard is one of many Euler's formulas, and it is very classic. Next, I will write another very wonderful Euler's formula that was considered unbelievable in the 18th century."

沈奇转身在黑板上写出另一个欧拉公式：1+2+3+4+5+……=-1/12
At first glance, this is impossible.

After adding positive integers to infinity, we get a negative number.

In the 18th century, after Euler wrote this formula, no one could understand him, because he was invincible, so he was lonely.

Today in the 21st century, many people also find it difficult to understand, why add infinitely many positive integers and finally get a negative number?
The students of the School of Mathematics and the School of Physics present here did not make a fuss. They are the best first-year science students in China. Standing on the theoretical foundation of the 21st century, they can understand this "positive numbers add to infinity and negative numbers" Euler's formula.

The students, including teaching assistants and lecturers, just don't know what kind of medicine is sold in Professor Shen's gourd, and what will he talk about next?
Next, Shen Qi said: "Students who participated in the Olympiad in high school, please raise your hands."

Brush brush!
Raise a bunch of arms.

The classroom atmosphere is relatively active, and more and more students are keen on subject competitions these years.

"So many? The National Mathematical Olympiad?" Shen Qi was a little surprised. 80% of the students present raised their hands and said that they had experience in the Mathematical Olympiad.

Shen Qi: "Then I'll order one at random. Come on, young man, you go up to the stage and write down the proof process of this Euler's formula. Use the method of middle school students, and you are not allowed to use the knowledge of advanced algebra."
