"Mr. Hook, you don't need to forward your question to the teacher. Just give me five days and I can figure out the answer!"
Maverick's words were clearly heard in Hook's ears, causing him to stop in his tracks.
I saw this somewhat rickety middle-aged man straightening his chest slightly, turning around, and looking at Mavericks with an expression of "Are you okay?":
"Classmate Newton, do you understand what this question represents? This involves a system of equations of an inexplicable magnitude near the equilibrium position. Let alone you, it is a field that even your teacher has never touched!"
As he spoke, he looked at the holy book in Maverick's hand thoughtfully and sneered:
"You, a little student, dare to say such things. If I were you, I would never have the shame to hold that holy book again."
As he spoke, Hook suddenly felt a sense of joy that a great revenge was about to be avenged.
That year's mathematics final was between Cambridge and Oxford. The final score was 4-3. Barrow came on the stage after falling behind 1-3 and completed a string of threes.
At that time, Hook saw his crush Ilo Bryce sitting on a chair and crying. At that moment, he thought, if he can challenge Barrow, I must win everything.
Now that the opportunity is in front of him, Hook must consider whether this will be his only chance in this life.
He believed that Ilo Bryce was indispensable to Oxford's past dominance.
It is our duty to rebuild the glory of Oxford!
The problem Hook came up with this time covered both mathematics and physics. It was the result of three years of derivation. He firmly believed that Barrow would be helpless with it!
It was a pity that due to the Black Death, he temporarily lost his contact information with Barrow, and he could only wait for London to restore order before going to Cambridge to regain his place.
Unexpectedly, on the way to the printing factory, he met Mavericks, a student from Trinity College, which made him happy and annoyed.
Fortunately, as a student in the seminary, Maverick must have Barrow's contact information, and he does not need to wait until the Black Death is over to find Barrow.
What's annoying is...
This young man seems a little arrogant. How dare he get involved in an academic debate of this level?
Has he always been so brave?
Opposite Hook, Maverick's brows furrowed even more tightly, obviously feeling extremely unhappy.
However, the target of the other party's spear was Barrow, and his remaining rationality still restrained the idea of taking action. At this time, this famous troll showed extremely rare use of emotional intelligence:
"Mr. Hook, since you are paying attention to Trinity College, you should know that Trinity College admitted a fee-reduced student four years ago, right?"
Hook gave him a slightly strange look and nodded:
"Yes, I've heard about this. It was the first time in fifteen years that one of the four major theological schools of Cambridge University has admitted students with reduced fees. I heard that he even got a Firstclass honors in mathematics..."
As he spoke, Hook suddenly came to his senses:
"Wait a minute, could it be that the student with reduced fees is you?"
Maverick pointed to the William family on the side and said calmly:
"You can ask my uncle and aunt. By the way, Grantham is just ahead. The principal of King's Middle School in this town also knows me."
After hearing these words, a little surprise finally appeared on Hook's face.
As the top college in the British peninsula, the University of Cambridge will admit some additional students with reduced fees every year in addition to the students it normally recruits.
However, in addition to the high assessment requirements for fee-reduced students, most of their affiliations are ordinary colleges - in this era, most universities are configured with ordinary colleges + a few seminaries.
For example, the University of Cambridge, in addition to 31 general colleges, also has four theological colleges managed by the church. These seminaries are not administratively affiliated with the University of Cambridge.
Don’t just look at the theology courses in seminaries and think that they are just about praying and massing every day. In fact, in this era, seminaries are equivalent to the local Yao Class or Junior Class!
For example, Trinity College, Wittgenstein, Bertrand Russell and even Nehru all graduated from this college.
However, what the seminary emphasizes is that you must devote yourself wholeheartedly to serving - you are serving when you study knowledge, and you are also serving when you sleep and pray, but working to earn tuition is seeking benefits for yourself.
Therefore, work-study students like reduced-fee students are extremely excluded in seminaries, and the assessment requirements are simply inhumane.
Before Mavericks became a reduced-fee student at Trinity College, Cambridge had not admitted a reduced-fee student for fifteen years - by the way, in 1680 due to the battle between Protestants and Catholics, Trinity College canceled the reduced-fee fee for a hundred years.
as long as.
Therefore, Mavericks was the last student who reduced fees at Trinity School in the 17th century. As for the next student after Mavericks, his name was——
James Clerk Maxwell.
Yes, the man who came up with the greatest formula in human history.
So sometimes you have to sigh, some things are really magical...
all in all.
A reduced-fee student from Trinity College, in online novels, is like accepting a disciple in the Supreme Hall. You are guaranteed to start as a Supreme, and maybe a Huangtian Emperor will appear for you at some point. If you are awesome, you don't want it.
As a member of the Royal Society and an 'enemy' who was paying attention to Barrow's movements, Hooke naturally would not ignore this kind of news.
After learning that Mavericks was the legendary Huangtian Emperor... ahem, a student with reduced fees, Hook's expression immediately became more solemn - the student with reduced fees four years ago should have graduated this year, and his ability was obviously not good enough.
On the same level as current students.
At the same time, it was precisely because of this determined mentality that Hu Ke suddenly had a bad taste in killing master and apprentice. He suddenly changed his mind and said:
"Classmate Newton, as you can see, this is an academic discussion between me and your master, but as a university professor, I am also happy to see a younger generation have the determination to challenge their predecessors.
Five days, right? No problem, I will stay in Lincoln County for a week. As long as you solve the answer, you can come to me at any time. The address is at the Yage Hotel southwest of Lincoln, about forty kilometers away from Grantham."
As he spoke, he puffed up his chest and patted Mavericks' shoulder meaningfully:
"I hope to see you again before I leave Lincolnshire. Good luck to you, Isaac Newton."
After saying that, he straightened his collar and left the scene without looking back.
Da da da--
Soon, the two horses started to take sporadic steps, pulling the carriage slowly away.
After the carriage gradually disappeared from sight, William, who had said nothing during the whole process, stepped forward and frowned:
"Little Isaac, how did you get involved in this kind of thing?"
As a graduate of Cambridge University, William naturally understood what Professor Lucas represented - obviously, this was a sharp academic confrontation.
Although academic confrontations do not involve swords and swords, sometimes the outcome is almost the same as death, or even worse.
It is obviously not a wise move for an ordinary bachelor like Mavericks to get involved.
But Mavericks simply shook his head at him without explaining much, and then turned to look at Xu Yun:
"Fat Fish, I need your help."
Xu Yun on the side was stunned when he heard this, and blinked his eyes in confusion:
"ah?"
Originally, he looked at Mavericks's tone of voice so firmly, and thought he could just enjoy the show, but now why does it involve him again?
Then Maverick handed Hooker's piece of paper to him and said:
"Look at this."
Xu Yun took the paper, opened it and looked at it a few times, his pupils shrank slightly.
F=k·x.
This is a formula that all high school students know, which is the famous Hooke's law.
This law is the theory of mechanical elasticity proposed by Hooke in 1678. It is now 1665. Although Hooke has not yet fully derived this definition, he has obviously begun some research work.
What is recorded on this piece of paper is the calculation problem of the space occupied by a continuous medium that has not undergone deformation.
This question is very complicated to explain, but in human terms... ahem, using concise semantic explanation, it involves...
Second-order Taylor expansion.
Of course, for Mavericks, it is the second-level Han Li expansion.
Right now......
calculus.
However, at this time, Mavericks had not yet fully derived the overall framework of calculus. Strictly speaking, the definition of the strain tensor had to wait until William Ron Hamilton introduced it in 1846 - yes, the one who invented the quaternion.
of Hamilton.
Therefore, if they want to solve Hooker's problem, the Mavericks can only seek help off the court at this time.
Xu Yun looked at the problem statement on the piece of paper and quickly came up with seventeen or eight solutions. However, considering the current situation, there was still a hint of male lust on his face:
"This problem seems to be possible to solve, but it will take some time to calculate. But Mr. Newton, we are still in a hurry now, why not wait until we get back?"
Hearing this, Maverick glanced at William's family, then looked up at the sky, and nodded:
"walk slowly."

Note:
I asked about the follow-up reading today, and it was much better than I expected... I was pleasantly surprised.
