eighty-four, family

Uncle Ge said strangely: "If you can't understand, what else can you read? Could it be that you can understand it by staying up late?"

"It's not okay to stay up late, but it's okay to stay up late to read books!" Jiang Shuiyuan explained proudly, "Anyway, the library of Jingshi University is so big and there are so many reference books. When I encounter something I don't understand, I just cram the book and go straight to flip through the books and make up for it. After a whole day, I finally barely understood a few articles."

Mr. Ge was even more surprised: "How many more articles can you understand? Has the Journal of Mathematics been degenerated to this point now?"

"I admit that I can't understand "Acta.Mathematica" and "Annals. Of.Mathematics", but I can't even understand domestic journals, right? You don't know the level of the domestic mathematics industry, and it's at most a second-tier in the world. In the so-called research, except for a few top scholars, others are nothing more than picking up some corners and doing some jobs to fill in the gaps. How difficult is this kind of paper? Even if they think it's so difficult that people and gods are angry, they have to have a certain degree of strength!"

"It makes sense." Mr. Ge rarely agreed with Jiang Shuiyuan's point of view, but the topic quickly changed: "But even if you barely understand a few papers, what's the point?"

Jiang Shuiyuan replied: "The significance is not that I have understood a few papers, but that I have found an effective way to learn mathematics, which is to constantly discover blind spots in my knowledge through reading the papers, and then go back to make up for the lessons. The efficiency of this learning is not only far more than looking at textbooks and writing questions, but it is also very interesting and challenging, making people enjoy it and unable to stop!"

Mr. Ge finally stopped complaining. He thought carefully for a moment and nodded and said, "This learning method is indeed good and is more suitable for you. After returning, I will help you borrow an electronic version of "Annals. Of.Mathematics" and you can start from scratch, so that you can not only grasp the context of the development of the mathematics community over the past hundred years, but also fully understand all the research directions of mathematics."

Jiang Shuiyuan said: "I think "Annals.Of.Mathematics" is still too difficult. Relatively speaking, "Journal of Mathematics" is easier to read. Why don't I read "Mathematics Bulletin" first?"

Mr. Ge immediately rejected Jiang Shuiyuan's opinion: "No, you have to look at the 'Four Greats' first! Although it is a bit difficult, isn't your purpose to learn and discover blind spots of knowledge? Reading these high-level papers will not only exercise your thinking ability, but also enhance your vision and problem awareness. As for the "Mathematics Bulletin", as you said just now, except for a few top ones, the rest are all about picking up the shortcomings. If you read too much, you will become vulgar and it will be difficult to change in the future."

"Okay." Jiang Shuiyuan still agrees with Mr. Ge's vision, but there is no doubt about it: "As far as I know, "Annals. Of.Mathematics" was founded in 1884. Do I need to look at things a hundred years ago?"

Mr. Ge said: "Of course it is necessary! Don't think that early research papers are simple or outdated. In fact, the characteristic of mathematical papers is that they are never out of date. The academic ideas they embody are inspiring in any era. It is them that build the solid cornerstone of the mathematics building. When you enter the field of mathematics research in the future, you will often find that the problems that have troubled you for a long time have been solved by your predecessors more than ten years ago or even decades ago!"

"Me, I--" Zhang Jin was so anxious that his face turned red and his eyes were full of eagerness to try.

But Mr. Ge did not care about his mercy and slashed his hopes with one kick: "What I am, your task now is to read books honestly, take exams with peace of mind, and don't always think about those that have nothing!"

The light in Zhang Jin's eyes went out and he lowered his head in frustration.

Mr. Ge sighed and explained to him patiently: "The reason I agreed to Jiang Shuiyuan do this is because he is smart and has a sloppy personality. He is smart, so he learns anything faster than others. When he encounters something he doesn't understand, he can find a book to understand it by just looking for it. If he has a sloppy personality, he is easily attracted by novel problems and deviates from the original direction, so it is difficult to learn textbooks step by step. Only by reading the paper in this way can he take into account his strengths and weaknesses."

Jiang Shuiyuan browsed and said, "It sounds like I'm praising me, why do I feel like I can't Kaisen?"

In fact, there is another important reason why Mr. Ge agreed to Jiang Shuiyuan to follow this "evil path", that is, Jiang Shuiyuan has never shown much preference for mathematics before, and sometimes even thinks that he may prefer Chinese studies or biology. Now he actually reads mathematics papers on his own initiative and is willing to try new learning methods. What reason does Mr. Ge have to kill his interest?

But Mr. Ge will never say this reason!

Mr. Ge continued: "Your characteristic is that your qualifications are average, but your strength is persistence. So the most suitable method is to read books honestly, lay a solid foundation, and then read papers one by one, grind the problem one by one, and finally come naturally. If you think you are reading papers like Jiang Shuiyuan now, isn't that equivalent to using your own shortcomings to attack the other's strengths? The simplest example is that Jiang Shuiyuan can only read a book for half a day, and can remember it very well. How long does it take for you? Your strength should be that although it took me ten days or even half a month, I can integrate it and use it freely!"

Jiang Shuiyuan and Zhang Jin both thought about it.

Mr. Ge quickly regained his savage nature and began to criticize Jiang Shuiyuan: "Don't think your method is so good. In fact, this method has been adopted a long time ago, and the effect is not very good. For example, Voevodsky of the Rakshasa Kingdom began to study Grothendieck's program when he was in his freshman year. As a result, he was too focused on this program and could not complete his studies and had to drop out. Moreover, because he focused on a narrow field from the beginning, his foundation was very unreliable, and he had to spend more time making up for the course in subsequent research. Therefore, you'd better weigh the pros and cons carefully!"

Jiang Shuiyuan replied seriously: "Don't worry, I will study the basic courses seriously!"

Mr. Ge waved his hand: "This is all in the future. The most important thing for you now is to prepare for the finals of the Mathematical Olympiad. Read books and do questions in the past few days, and don't cause trouble for me!"

When he packed his luggage and moved, Jiang Shuiyuan learned that the training location of this year's Mathematical Olympic final was in the Affiliated Middle School of Jingshi University. No wonder the little princess looked contemptuous when she heard it a few days ago. She felt that she was a landlord, and she naturally had no good feelings for the silly roe deer who was still confused and confused about the situation in the royal garden.

Despite this, after Jiang Shuiyuan moved into the dormitory provided by Jingshi University Affiliated High School, the little princess still slim down the friendship of the landlords and took her best friend group. She flew around her smelly socks and screamed everywhere. She rushed to Jiang Shuiyuan's room, pointing to Jiang Shuiyuan, who was busy wearing shoes, and introduced in a slight manner: "Come on, come on, come on, come on, this is Jiang Shuiyuan. We will be a family in the future. You can meet them all!"

"Wow, brother-in-law is so handsome! Liangshu, you are really good at choosing!"

"That's a must! If you are not so handsome, how can you be worthy of our Liangshu?"

"Hey, do you think it's better to call your brother-in-law? Or call your son-in-law?"

Jiang Shuiyuan was stunned and didn't even notice if he wore the wrong shoes: Little princess, what are you going to make a fuss?
Chapter completed!
