I Just Want to Be a Quiet Top Student

In the teaching building, there are more and more students coming and going upstairs and downstairs, and the class is about to start.

"Who is this? If you are so dragging, Mizuki is okay, so let's forget about Yanda University? Do you think Shuimu Yanda is opened by your family?"

"Isn't that who?"

"Then who?"

"Shen Qi, the province's mathematics champion!"

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

"That's right, that's him, from Class Two (2) in Senior High."

"Scholar."

A few girls passing by talked a lot, they turned their heads to look at Shen Qi as they walked.

"Hi girls, do you want a date?" Shen Qi waved to the girls.

Giggling, the girls laughed coquettishly 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 didn't get good grades before, so 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.

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

"Okay, Shen Qi, class is about to start, you go back to the classroom first, and consider my suggestion just now."

Back in the classroom of Class 2 (2) of high school, Shen Qi was greeted with all kinds of worship.

"Shen Qi, perfect score gentleman."

"Please take my knees."

"How can I get full marks every time?"

"How to become a math champion?"

The classmates in the class envy, praise, and ask for advice.

"The 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 to start class.

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

As the battle turns and the stars move, spring goes and summer comes.

In a blink of an eye, it is June, the hot summer.

After the mathematics indicators reached level 4, Shen Qi had a deeper understanding of this subject. Recently, he was studying the journal "Journal of Mathematics" published by the Chinese Mathematical Society and the "Mathematics Herald" published by Yanda University. It is a core domestic publication, and the tonality of the paper is very to Shen Qi's liking.

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

To understand all the papers in the "Acta Mathematica Sinica", you must have a certain mathematical foundation, otherwise it is like reading a bible, you know all the words, but you don't know the meaning.

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 a hundred words in a week, and the last sentence was "I have nothing to teach you. The subject of mathematics is mainly self-study".

Thinking about it, Shen Qi's math indicators are already level 4, while Zhang Wanbang is defined by the system as a level 5 reference template, the difference between the teacher and the student is only one level, and a master has to keep two hands to watch his family's unique skills, Zhang Wanbang said that there is nothing to worry about. After teaching Shen Qi, he can understand.

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

On June 25th, Shen Qi packed his bags and went to the northern suburbs resort 38 kilometers away from home alone, where he will receive a week-long closed training for the provincial team.

This Southern Guangdong Provincial Mathematical Competition Team has a team leader, a deputy team leader, a liaison officer, and six team members.

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

The reason why the training camp is set in the suburbs is because the mountains and rivers are beautiful here and it is very quiet.

Shen Qi is quite satisfied with the logistics arrangement, there is food, drink and WIFI here, and the two of them live in a standard room.

The closed training didn't go as Shen Qi expected. All the team members were locked in a small dark room, doing questions for me, and they didn't give me food if they couldn't solve the correct answer.

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

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

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

"To put it bluntly, the function is to study change and invariance." Shen Qi spoke first.

"Oh, is that so? Do the 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, the function is to study change and invariance. Next, let's enter some content, arrange and combine."

For the past three days, the vice president's lectures only talked about concepts and not specific topics. He believed that teaching students a way of thinking is more effective than teaching them to do a hundred problems.

"Okay, that's all for today's professional lectures. Next, I want to talk about some light-hearted content. 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.

Shen Qi was the first to speak: "I have watched the science and education films of CCTV, aside from the bartering method of primitive people, 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, it is either the ancient Babylonians or the ancient Egyptians. To build hanging gardens and pyramids, it is impossible not to apply mathematical knowledge, mathematical knowledge in the true sense, instead of using It’s as simple as exchanging a cow for a bag of grain.”

"I personally prefer the ancient Babylonians. Of course, what I say doesn't count. I just want to discuss it 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 looked bewildered, and Shen Qi was also very puzzled. He could only guess: "Cuneiform?"

"Hehe, Shen Qi, can you even understand cuneiform?"

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

"That's right, this is the cuneiform script of ancient Babylon." The vice president's surname is Tian, ​​and Shen Qi and the others call him Teacher Tian.

While talking, Teacher Tian became unhappy: "The six of you are a team, a team! Why does Shen Qi always speak alone? You guys also express your opinions 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 helplessness, let's just talk about functions, what the hell are you talking about cuneiform?

"Hey." Teacher Tian sighed. This team has a little hope of achieving 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, keep guessing, does this string of cuneiform characters I wrote make sense?"

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

"Do you know decimals?" Teacher Tian was a little surprised, but considering that Shen Qi is the provincial champion, it's not surprising that he knows binary ones.

Shen Qi nodded: "I know a little bit, the protagonist in "The Martian" was trapped on Mars, and when he was about to die, he contacted the headquarters on the earth by means of binary numbers, and finally escaped from birth and returned to the earth, really awesome Damn, this book is very good-looking, with a lot of brain opening, and it's awesome and reasonable. I'm very obsessed with science fiction recently, hard science fiction."

"Decimal binary was also invented by the ancient Babylonians. It is not difficult to understand. Now I want to talk about sexagesimal system. You can listen to it as a hobby and expand your knowledge. It doesn't matter if you don't understand. I know you are in your respective The school is full of top students, but the top students are definitely not just good at solving questions, those who can only solve the questions are fake high school students, and the real top students must understand two words—pattern.” Teacher Tian continued to draw his Ancient Babylonian wedge-shaped mathematical symbols, his research on ancient mathematics is similar to Kong Yiji's writing of fennel beans.

And now, Mr. Tian has a bosom friend, and Shen Qi is listening with great interest to his talk about the mathematics dynasty 5,000 years ago...
