Number theory, or mathematical theory, is a name that only appeared in the twentieth century.
Before this, people were usually accustomed to call this branch of pure mathematics that specializes in integers (defining integers) "arithmetic". Because of its fundamental position in mathematical principles, it is often called the "Queen of Mathematics".
In fact, even in the second half of the twentieth century where Elena and the others are now, the study of "arithmetic" in mathematical theory also plays a very important role. This aspect is mainly influenced by the French mathematical community——
The field of modern mathematical theory is the most powerful and the most prosperous mathematical kingdom.
This power of mathematics is not only reflected in the number of mathematical geniuses, but also comes from the daily foundation and atmosphere.
Compared with other countries in the world, French does not use decimal logic when expressing numbers. The basic counting in French uses decimal mode. For example, the expression of 99 is 4*20+10+9, and
After mobile phones became popular, it became a nightmare for all foreign tourists looking for a romantic trip in France.
In France, French people are not accustomed to pronouncing phone numbers one by one as in other countries.
Just like the simplest example, for example, 65978376, the French do not pronounce it as 6-5-9-7-8-3-7-6, but pronounce it two by two as 65-97-83-80.
It sounds like: 60+5,4x20+10+9,4x20+3,60+16.
In addition, if we talk about the difficulty of the exam-oriented education system in the field of mathematics, China's college entrance examination can only rank second.
As the most difficult and strict exam-oriented education system in the world, French students who want to enter university must study calculus and linear algebra skills very hard during the two (or three) years of high school in order to cope with the most difficult problems in the world.
of college entrance examination.
If converted to Chinese mathematics textbooks, it is not simply a senior high school level, but a sophomore level.
However, starting from this year, French middle school mathematics is no longer the only "most wonderful" exam-oriented education content.
In the Hogwarts Castle located in the Scottish Highlands, the same content is appearing in the wizards' classrooms.
"Professor Alexei, I'm sorry, I have a question..."
Elena glanced at the little wizards around her, and before the confusion appeared on their faces again, she took the initiative to raise her hand.
"Why do we need to learn French? If we only learn the four arithmetic operations, we also learned some simple addition, subtraction, multiplication and division in the astronomy class. I saw calculus in the textbook, but I heard that the origin of calculus is in the UK.
?”
"Oh, yes, that's a good question indeed - it seems Miss Kaslana has prepared herself very well."
Alexei raised his eyebrows, glanced at the lesson plans on the table, and answered quickly.
"When you have studied mathematics for a certain period of time, and slowly move forward along the long river of mathematics history, to around the 16th and 17th centuries, you will find that in that era when geniuses emerged in large numbers, France was almost modern mathematics.
"
"Isaac Newton was indeed an amazing scholar. He contributed to calculus, but he also blocked the scientific development of Britain for nearly a hundred years. After him, Veda, Mersenne, Descartes, Fermat, and Pascal
, d'Alembert, Lagrange, Poisson, Fourier, Laplace, Cauchy...these names that still sound strange to you now are almost all famous scholars in the field of mathematical theory in the next hundred years.
And they - they're all French."
Alexei looked away from the lesson plan, but the words in his mouth became more fluent, and his face was full of emotion.
"No matter in any field, if you want to master the core and most complete knowledge, then learning through the mother tongue of the knowledge digger is undoubtedly the most effective. This is why wizards in the British magical world are innately
It's more powerful than foreign wizards...spell books, potions, these are all written in English."
"not to mention……"
The middle-aged man changed the subject and suddenly winked at the little wizards.
"French, this is one of the most romantic languages in the world. I heard Professor Dumbledore say that next year Hogwarts will start inter-school exchanges with a certain magic school in France, whether it is to apply for exchange students or to meet with magicians from France.
Making friends with the gentlemen and ladies at school and mastering fluent French are one of the essential prerequisites.”
"A magic school in France?! Really? Professor, are you talking about Beauxbatons School of Magic?!"
Elena opened her eyes wide in surprise and said quickly.
Behind her, the young wizards in the entire classroom began to whisper among themselves. Draco Malfoy mysteriously introduced this romantic magic school full of "handsome boys and beauties" to the young wizards around him.
As for the source of information, it naturally comes from his father who is a "member of the Hogwarts School Board" who knows everything.
"Oh, I can't reveal the specific situation to you yet..."
Alexei touched his nose in embarrassment and gently sorted out the speech he had finished reading in front of him.
In Elena's satisfied eyes, Alexey added one last sentence mysteriously.
"But I can swear that this is definitely a big project that will be finalized in the next year or two. When the Ministry of Magic and Professor Dumbledore feel that the time is right, they will notify you. Now let us return our attention to the course
Among them..."
"A big project, could it be...oh, I understand--"
Elena nodded obediently, sat down, and took the initiative to open the textbook and prepare to start listening to the class.
Following the girl's movements, the discussion in the classroom gradually became quieter. The students also suppressed the curiosity and confusion that was constantly surging in their hearts, cheered up, and looked at Mr. Alexei in the front of the classroom expectantly.
No matter how you look at it, compared to boring numerical calculations and formula theorems, learning a romantic language from a country next to Britain obviously sounds much more interesting - at least so far, this is what the little wizards think
of.
Not to mention, the professor seemed to have revealed some incredible information just now.
Along with the babbling French pronunciation of the little wizards, a wonderful door to mathematics opens.
…
At the same time, there was an empty classroom next to the math and physics classroom.
"...It seems that the first class went very smoothly, and we shouldn't need to save the situation."
Dumbledore breathed a sigh of relief, turned his head and glanced at Professor "Apocalis" sitting next to him. There was an identical mathematics textbook on the table in front of him, with a bit of forbearance in his tone.
said softly with a smile.
"Speaking of which, Gale, your poor French should really be practiced. This can be regarded as making up for your previous shortcomings."
"If it weren't for that bet, I wouldn't-"
Hearing Dumbledore's joke, Grindelwald couldn't help but twitch the corners of his eyes again. He looked at the pile of "Hogwarts Grades 1-7" mathematics textbooks placed on the long table in front of him, and instantly felt
My head hurts a little more.
As punishment for giving up the "SSS" commission to write about Muggle lunatics, he had to fulfill one of Elena's requests.
What the first-generation Dark Lord didn't expect was that the little witch's condition was to let him take math classes with the little guys at Hogwarts and complete all the curriculum and homework for grades 1-7!
"I hate Paris, I hate French—"
Grindelwald shook his head and took a deep breath.
If he had known that something like this would happen, he should have been ruthless when he held the rally in Paris and burned down the city full of sinful numbers and devilish knowledge in one fell swoop instead of making up lessons here again.
"You really dote on Elena too much, Gale... I thought you would refuse her request."
Dumbledore's blue eyes flashed and he whispered meaningfully.
"I didn't expect that in the entire Hogwarts, you were the one who supported her education reform the most, and you even took the initiative to endorse the child's ideas. This really surprised me - if I guessed it correctly.
, even if she didn’t make this request, you would probably teach yourself relevant Muggle knowledge, right? What on earth are you thinking, Gail?"
"It's just to complete the mission of the little devil. Don't think too much, Albus."
Grindelwald replied calmly, looking calmly at the pile of information stacked on the long table next door.
"Aren't you also learning these troublesome knowledge? The headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, the greatest wizard in the wizarding world today, is actually reduced to the point where he needs to sneak in and take advantage of the students' lessons -
"
"Times have changed, old man, and I'm not as dishonest as you."
Dumbledore shook his head with emotion, tapping his long fingers lightly on the pile of textbooks in front of him.
A few centuries ago, wizards used wands and performed magic, but they could still easily understand what Muggle knights' armor and two-handed swords were, and what Muggle astrology diagrams depicted.
.
However, in today's era, wizards still use traditional wands and let owls act as messengers to travel between fireplaces, but they can no longer understand what Muggle phones and computers are.
Most of the functions of the Hyperion above Gwarts were extremely unfamiliar to Dumbledore.
There is no doubt that recruiting students from the non-magical world will allow wizards to learn how to use these industrial products.
But if this is all, wizards living in the magical world will never be able to understand the principles and knowledge behind those little things, just like Muggles will never be able to understand the true meaning of the Patronus Charm.
"As a wizard, it is really not difficult to master simple mathematical calculations and language skills..."
Dumbledore listened to the reading sound coming from the classroom next door, and a smile appeared on his old face.
"However, if the magical world wants to truly understand and understand the foundations that bloom the power of 'science', then there is really too much that we need to catch up and make up for - it is already difficult for our generation to change.
But these children still have a chance to catch the train to the new world. Even if it is a little harder, it is better than being abandoned by the world in the future..."
"This is also...the meaning of the existence of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry."
