Six, copying and printing fees
In this way, Jiang Shuiyuan honestly picked up the chemical Olympic materials that had been eaten for a long time and started learning again. There was no way, things had risen to a height that affected the relationship between father and son, and was related to the dignity and personality of his father. For the sake of the kindness of father and son filial piety and the harmonious, healthy and sustainable development of the family, Jiang Shuiyuan could only compromise.
The next morning, Pu Xiaoxiang saw Jiang Shuiyuan doing the chemistry Olympics test paper, and laughed like Samoyed who abused the Husky, and his eyes were bent into a crescent shape. Jiang Shuiyuan knew that this matter was definitely related to this little girl, but he was really smart. He pinched his father's pulse as soon as he made a move. He had no choice but to use personal attack to retaliate: "Hey, someone asks a lady, you laugh so hard that your molars leak out!"
"No!"
Pu Xiaoxiang pouted her pink and tender mouth, turned around and took out a large stack of materials like secret scrolls and internal questions from her schoolbag, and piled them on the table of Jiang Shuiyuan: "Some of these were recently posted by the Olympic Games Club, and some were exchanged for my friend's shopping everywhere. I don't know if it's useful or not. I'll copy them all for you. Do you want to read it?"
The girl is very careful at home. Not only are each test paper neatly bound, but she also uses colored paper pins to sort it out, paste fluorescent labels, states the source of the test paper, the feeling of doing the test questions, etc. Jiang Shuiyuan felt that some soft part of his heart seemed to be gently scratched by feathers. After a moment of silence, he asked, "How much does it cost to copy it?"
"You really want to give money?" Pu Xiaoxiang stared at Jiang Shuiyuan with a stern face.
The straight male cancer in Jiang Shuiyuan is not at its late stage: "Then I will bless you?"
"This is what you said!" Pu Xiaoxiang's expression became vivid in an instant, "I want to eat squirrel mandarin fish, Wensi tofu, crab roe soup buns, and stewed silver carp heads! After dinner, you also have to accompany me to the bar to sing!"
Jiang Shuiyuan said: "You can eat. Bar? I'm afraid I will be shot by General Pu!"
"Then aren't you living well now?"
Jiang Shuiyuan immediately understood and immediately said, "I can explain the matter when I go to the bar."
"You don't have to explain to me."
If I don’t explain, I’m afraid you will be fumed with the smell of vinegar in minutes and become tracheitis! Jiang Shuiyuan immediately came to his senses: No, why did I explain to her? It was just a kiss, but why did it feel like I had obtained a certificate?
Although Jiang Shuiyuan thought so in his heart, his mouth was very honest: "That's right. Our class was almost over and everyone was about to go back. It happened that a boy in our dormitory fell in love with a girl in the class, so he organized a friendship between the two dormitories. The boy probably wanted to have a little atmosphere, so he chose to go in the bar next to the school."
"How many days of the training class are there? The competitive pressure is so great, and there are still people who are in love with each other? Could it be that they fell in love at first sight?" Pu Xiaoxiang's focus began to deviate, "Then have you met a girl you like in the class, or did you fall in love with you?"
Jiang Shuiyuan hurriedly left himself clear: "You also know that the competition pressure in the study class is high. I get up early and go into the dark all day long, so busy that I have to make careful calculations when eating and sleeping. How can I have time to care about this?"
"Is that true?" Pu Xiaoxiang's tone was a little playful.
Could it be that this little girl heard some strange rumors? It seems that I have been in the capital for a while! Just as Jiang Shuiyuan was reflecting hard, the rescuer came: "Jiang, Jiang, Jiang Shuiyuan, Ge, Ge, Teacher Ge is looking for you!"
Jiang Shuiyuan burst into tears and almost awarded Zhang Jin a medal of bravery on the spot: "Okay, I'll go right away!" After that, he got up and walked out. He had never wanted to see Mr. Ge so urgently!
"Remember the Blessing Tower!" Pu Xiaoxiang reminded.
"no problem!"
“And there are bars, singing.”
"I'll talk about it when you're eighteen years old!"
"As young as eighteen years old? What are your intentions?"
Jiang Shuiyuan, who walked to the door, staggered: "I'm trying to be a ghost! It is a law that stipulates that no entry or exit of commercial entertainment venues is allowed under the age of 18. Also, learn more about the law when you have time and don't always think about those that have nothing!"
As soon as he returned to Huai'an Mansion, Mr. Ge regained his usual sloppy style, wrinkled clothes, messy hair, and gray sneakers. From the inside to the outside, he was filled with the decadent atmosphere of a single fat man. The image of the suit and ties in the capital a few days ago seemed like colorful soap bubbles. As soon as it fell to the ground, it broke and disappeared like a sigh of a sigh of youth when he was up in the morning at the age of 40.
"Teacher Ge, are you looking for me?"
Mr. Ge raised his head: "It's not me looking for you, but you should be looking for me. Since you don't take the initiative to look for me, I have to look for you first!"
?Why didn’t I see a good math teacher in a few days and became a rap singer? Is this a distortion of human nature or a decay of morality? Jiang Shuiyuan was puzzled. Uncle Ge didn’t realize it and clicked a bunch of things on the corner of the table: “In this hard drive, the full text database of annals.of.mathematics from the founding of the magazine to the end of last year. I’m afraid you’ll be lazy, so I’ll print the ones from the previous years for you to take them back and take them back and take them out.”
Jiang Shuiyuan rubbed his hands: "Thank you, Teacher Ge! I'm so troubled you, that, how much does it cost to print?"
Mr. Ge looked at him contemptuously: "Do you think Mr. Ge is a person who is short of that little money? If you are really interested, just be careful when reading it. Don't just scan hundreds of thousands of words in a day like reading online novels."
"I must study it carefully!"
Mr. Ge shook his head: "I asked you to read it carefully, not to ask you to check for omissions or make up for mistakes or to deliberately pick mistakes, nor to cultivate a mathematical history expert, but to let you discover innovations in methods, breakthroughs in wisdom and flashes of inspiration. Although early papers were rough and naive, in the eyes of people at that time, they all tried hard to make breakthroughs and inventions. Just like Newton realized the gravity of gravity from the landing of the apple, Mendeleev discovered the periodic table of elements from irrelevant elements. Now it seems natural and natural, but it was shocking at that time. So when you read it, you should focus on discovering the real value. It is best to take it with this book of Victor Kaz's history of mathematics, and the effect is better."
Jiang Shuiyuan discovered that there was a thick English textbook under the printing paper, which was Kaz's history of mathematics. He took it over and scanned the catalogue briefly, and said with a smile: "The mathematics we are learning now is roughly equivalent to the level of the beginning of modern mathematics in the 18th and 19th centuries. This set of mathematical yearbooks is indeed the most suitable for me!"
Mr. Ge said: "That's because you read a few more university textbooks, so you barely have the current level. If you were an ordinary high school student, many people would stay in the 17th century. This is also the charm of mathematics! Our current high school biology has many knowledge points in high school chemistry discovered in the past 50 years, many of which are high school physics discovered in the 20th century, and many of them are from the 19th century. Only mathematics has remained between ancient and medieval times, and has not been outdated for hundreds of years, or even decades, and hundreds of years later, the school will teach these contents!"
Your body and reputation are destroyed, and the rivers will not be destroyed forever!
Jiang Shuiyuan finally felt the eternal and charm of mathematics, and the difficulty of learning mathematics: "In other words, those scientists who are engaged in mathematical research have to start learning step by step from the Middle Ages, and have to climb along the footsteps of their predecessors for two or three hundred years before they can reach the forefront of the discipline. Not to mention how many people have made contributions in the past two or three hundred years, just thinking about such a long time span is very stressful!"
Mr. Ge coughed several times: "This, this is not as you imagined. If you read this history of mathematics, you will know that in fact, we are still studying and solving problems left over from the 17th and 18th centuries, such as the Hualin problem, which was proposed by Hualin in 1770 in the algebra meditation book. For example, the Ferma conjecture was proposed by Ferma in 1637 when Ferma thought of the Goldbach conjecture in Dioptera, and it was proposed in 1742 in the letter Goldbach wrote to Euler. Although two or three hundred years have passed, we have created many mathematical tools and proposed many mathematical theories, but it is still a short step away from the final solution. So don't think that the time span is long. Like the Riemann conjecture, it may take decades or even hundreds of years to draw a conclusion."
"Uh... the problem from two or three hundred years ago has not been solved yet. It's indeed not a common difficulty!"
Mr. Ge was angry: "If you let me see, just look honestly. Why do you do so much? Since history, human beings have been thinking about who I am? Where did I come from? Where should I go? These ultimate questions have not been solved now. So are those who study philosophy and science no longer alive?"
Yes, so everyone who thinks of these three questions is dead or on the way to death!
Jiang Shuiyuan can imagine that if he answered like this, Mr. Ge would explode in minutes, and the saliva sprayed out could cause local heavy to heavy rain. In order to avoid flooding, he wisely avoided this topic and asked without shame: "Teacher Ge, do you have anything to pay attention to when reading these papers?"
Mr. Ge shook his neck: "Since you have to read it, you must first understand it. You must not only know the truth, but also know the reason, and really understand it. If you don't understand it, you can go to the library to search books and search materials and still don't understand it. Just write it in the notebook, put it aside, and think about it slowly when you have time. Reading the papers doesn't require you to be quick, but at that time, the mathematics level in the United States was very average, and the mathematics yearbook was published by the University of Virginia in the early days. At that time, it was like the American Mathematics Magazine founded by Sylvester. Now there are still four or five months before school starts in September. No matter how hard you go, you should end the Qing government before going to college and enter the Republic of China, right?"
The Mathematics Annals was founded in 1884, and the Qing government closed down in 1911. In other words, the summer homework assigned by Mr. Ge was to read the contents of the previous 28 years. Jiang Shuiyuan didn’t know how many issues of the early Mathematics Annals were published in a year, how many papers were published in each journal, and how good the papers were, but the tasks assigned by Mr. Ge were probably not much easier.
But what Jiang Shuiyuan didn't know was that the pit dug by Mr. Ge was actually deeper than the Mariana Trench!
It is true that before 1880, the level of American mathematics research was very average. Except for Harvard Pierce, Yale University Gibbs had a certain world influence, and nothing else was worth mentioning. But after 1880, as the United States' economic strength grew, its investment in natural sciences was increasing day by day, and the level of scientific research was changing with each passing day.
Take mathematics as an example. Major events around 1880 included the establishment of the New York Mathematics Society, the founding of the American Mathematics Mathematics Mathematics Mathematics Annual Mathematics Mathematics Mathematics, and the founding of two prestigious mathematical schools, Johns Hopkins University and the University of Chicago. By the beginning of the 20th century, the US mathematical level could already be on par with the advanced European countries.
