Such a heroic decision surprised not only the great magicians who were facing him, but also Fen who was sitting next to him.
Even if I received help from Balta before, that shouldn't be the reason for agreeing to the invitation so quickly. I didn't talk about the treatment or the details. It just looked like it was delivered to my door, and I vowed before that I would maximize my own interests.
To put it seriously, it's completely different.
Realizing that he had become the center of attention, especially the companion next to him who also cast a puzzled look, Lin shrugged and said, "It is a consensus between you and me not to teach P language. After excluding that item, the remaining invitations are all
What are they? It’s either that I didn’t mention them, or it’s magic towers, airships, or flash magic. No one has asked me to teach mathematics yet. This is the first one. I’m so moved. Can you tell me what I can do?
If you don’t know anything about mathematics, how can you teach it?”
Although the masters are all pragmatic, those who invited before focused directly on the knowledge that can be applied. But just like someone's doubts, how far can they go if the most basic foundation is not enough? Thinking of this,
Someone suddenly realized that he had thought less and asked worriedly: "Your Excellency Kabambai will not ask me to teach a group of children."
Kabambai said quickly: "Of course it's impossible. With your great talent, wouldn't it be a waste to teach enlightenment knowledge?"
"That's good." Lin said with satisfaction. As for the originally puzzled Lich, after understanding someone's thinking behind it, he stopped raising other opinions.
And knowing that the consent of the magician in front of him was a decision made after careful consideration and was not made hastily or to repay a favor, Kabanbai felt even more satisfied. Not only was he satisfied that the other party indeed had the most basic qualities of a magician.
, that is, a rational judgment, and he is satisfied with his choice. This magician who constantly puts forward new knowledge really values this knowledge the most.
He glanced at his friend Bijan, who also nodded slightly.
This person will appear, and he is not just a drop-in. Although the college bears his name, it was established together with this friend. He also has the power to participate in decisions on matters related to the college. He will
I was invited because I was afraid that this long-fascinated magician was a liar who looked good on the surface but was actually a fool, so I invited a few more people to come and find out the details of this magician.
But judging from the performance during the dinner, maybe the etiquette was not that good, but the other party's knowledge level was definitely not bad. Even the questions they asked about the new knowledge, the two of them could have a clear answer. You need to know those questions
, but there are many that I don’t know the answer to.
Now that this simple interview, which was not considered a intrigue, was passed, Kabambai became more determined to invite this person. He, his wife, and his friends all stood up cautiously, saluted and said: "Since your Excellency has agreed, then I am stuck.
Bambai,─""Witness, Bijan.""──It is a great honor to invite Sir Guybrash Tripwood to become the mathematics teacher of our college."
Listening to the other party's words, Lin probably guessed that the college established in the Holy City was the same as the Chengguo Eton College he founded earlier, only allowing students to call teachers 'sir' instead of 'teacher' or 'mentor'
.
In other words, the relationship between teachers and students in the academy is still different from that of a real magician master and apprentice. For this distinction, someone only agrees with it and has no objection. A real master and apprentice have too many responsibilities.
As for the other client, he was not as angry as others imagined. He just smiled and took the pen and paper, picked up a ruler, and scribbled on the paper.
Dealing with naughty kids is just like dealing with anyone with bad intentions. If you fall into the opponent's rhythm, you will lose. The best way is to ignore the opponent. If you perform a one-man show for too long, you will easily get internal injuries. The second best way is to find another battlefield.
Find the opponent's weak spot and hit it hard!
When the girl saw what the magician was doing, she didn't take it to heart at all. Instead, she said: "Humph, geometry is nothing. Whether you are looking for area or volume, you can't trouble me."
Soon, Lin wrote two pieces of paper. He handed the first piece of paper directly and said: "Come on, this is indeed a geometry problem. It is not difficult, it is very basic, but it is also very important." The other piece of paper
After folding the paper, he put it on the table and said: "This is the answer, and the folded part is the proof process. But I have to say first that the answer is the only solution, but there are many ways to prove it. So I wrote
Just take a look at the proof."
The girl took the paper confidently and looked through it... then turned the whole paper upside down and looked at it again... After turning it over and over several times, she suddenly lost control and shouted: "This is not a geometry problem.
?There are no numbers on it at all!" After saying that, he slapped the paper on the table. Only then did others have the opportunity to see what someone had drawn on the paper.
It is a right triangle with base a and height b. What is the hypotenuse?
Several experienced magicians, as well as the waiters standing nearby and peeking, were stunned by the simple patterns and words on the paper. Indeed, there were no numbers on the entire paper. Can this be considered mathematics?
Only Fen glanced at it and said casually: "Oh, the Pythagorean Theorem. It's just something to fool children." Then he stopped paying attention.
Fen's casual attitude certainly angered the girl. She cursed angrily and almost rushed forward to compete with the woman who was so beautiful that she was jealous.
Kabanbai caught his granddaughter and prevented her from rushing forward. He picked up the question paper with his other hand and thought about the possible answers. From the other party's attitude, he knew that there was an answer.
And you can do calculations without numbers. Unless the concept of calculation is different from what you imagined, and the other person once said that all his knowledge is based on mathematics.
Suddenly a flash of inspiration occurred, and Kabanbai asked: "Is this a variable of the P language?"
Lin sincerely admires the old magician's sensitivity to the horizontal linking of knowledge. However, some issues still need to be clarified and corrected to prevent wrong ideas from being fixed. "In mathematics, I prefer to call it 'algebra' rather than
'Variables' in programming languages."
"Algebra, instead of numbers used in calculations. Well, that's really good." Tasting the meaning behind the simple nouns, Kabamba was unconsciously intoxicated with it. Subconsciously, he let go of his granddaughter and opened the quilt.
Covered solution and proof, looking at the derived hypotenuse solution.
Every step in it is clear. Every calculation is based on the most primitive mathematical basis, that is, addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. The new calculation method is the symbols of square and square root. But using mathematical formulas
The explanation is simple and can be understood at a glance.
But compared to the deduced answer to the hypotenuse, the proof method in front of him is the real treasure of knowledge, because he understands the benefits of algebra. He can put any actual numbers into algebra just like P language, and then he can
Through the formula, you can get the answer directly, instead of having to derive it again every time and repeat the whole process.
This also solved the confusion that Kabambai had been having. Mathematics is indeed not just spread out, that thin book contains simple addition, subtraction, multiplication, division and exercises. There are more things behind it.
Knowledge. But now, he finally got a glimpse of the vast knowledge. All the emotions condensed into one word in his mouth: "Okay!"
