Tang Shunzhi was lying on the bookcase, drawing geometric figures with a quill.
Quill pens are often used by physics students. They are much easier to use than brushes for drawing graphic lines.
The bookboy suddenly ran in: "Master, I went to inquire. The founding meeting of the Physics Society was held half a month ago. We are late!"
"It's too late, so why make such a fuss?" Tang Shunzhi said calmly.
The boy smiled and said, "It's good that it's too late. The master has always been opposed to the young master studying mathematics. If he knew that the young master went to Beijing to take the exam and secretly entered the physics club, he would definitely be taken care of by the family."
Tang Shunzhi passed the imperial examination at the age of nineteen. He was not busy taking the imperial examination. He actually studied mathematics by himself at home. He was beaten up by his father who came home on vacation. His father, Tang Bao, is now the prefect of Xinyang.
The general examination is next year, and there is still more than half a year left. Tang Shunzhi ran to the capital in advance simply because he wanted to join the School of Physics.
The next day.
Tang Shunzhi went straight to the Mathematics Department of the School of Physics, stood at the door of the office, knocked on the door and said, "Excuse me, is Luo Zhang here?"
Luo Xiu, the Minister of Mathematics, used to be a junior official in the Qin Tian Jian, but had resigned several years ago. When he opened the door and saw Tang Shunzhi, he thought he was a student of the college and said with a smile: "I am Luo Xiu, what do you want?"
Tang Shunzhi bowed his hands in greeting, then held up a book and said, "This is a crude work. Please correct it with Luo Zhang."
Luo Xiu took it and took a look, only to see the four characters "Position Geometry" written on the cover.
What the hell is positional geometry?
Luo Xiu curiously opened the book and read it carefully. At first he was careless, but gradually his face became serious, and finally he asked in surprise: "You really wrote this book?"
Tang Shunzhi replied: "It took two years of hard practice."
"Who is your mentor?" Luo Xiu asked.
Tang Shunzhi replied: "Study at home."
"Haha, genius, let's talk about you." Luo Xiu pulled Tang Shunzhi into the office and inquired about the other party's situation in detail.
Tang Shunzhi said: "I came into contact with arithmetic when I was eight years old. I happened to get Wang Shangshu's "Mathematics" at the age of fourteen, so I became addicted. After passing the national examination at the age of nineteen, I studied hard behind closed doors. Later, when my hometown was building a canal, I started to use my mathematical knowledge in a whimsical way.
, to solve the terrain problem of building water canals, so this book "Positional Geometry" was created."
This positional geometry is topology!
The mathematical knowledge Wang Yuan came up with is particularly weird. Strictly speaking, it belongs to modern mathematics, and it is written based on his inventory. Some mathematical theories from the seventeenth century were not mentioned, but many theories from the eighteenth century were thrown out, and those blanks were
Everyone needs to make up for the omissions.
Tang Shunzhi was also very talented. He studied by himself for several years without anyone to teach him, so he directly created a branch of mathematics.
Luo Xiu originally wanted to be Tang Shunzhi's tutor, but after taking the teaching test on the spot, he had no shame to mention it again. Tang Shunzhi's mathematical skills were actually more powerful than him, the head of the mathematics department of the School of Physics. Looking at the Ming Dynasty, who is qualified to be Tang Shunzhi's tutor?
The academic department was summoned for review, but there was no way to review it because it was a completely new theory.
After verifying the correctness of this book, Tang Shunzhi was directly designated as a senior member, and he would be promoted to elder after the theoretical results were published.
Immediately, Tang Shunzhi was taken to see Wang Yuan.
Tang Shunzhi was very excited and said to his disciples, "Student, please pay homage to Sir!"
Wang Yuan said happily: "You don't need to be polite to be virtuous."
Wang Yuan thought it was his own appearance, and the wings of a butterfly fanned out a mathematical genius. He had never heard of Tang Shunzhi's name before he traveled through time.
"History of the Ming Dynasty" records Tang Shunzhi like this: "If you follow him to learn, you can see everything. From astronomy, music rhythm, geography, art of war, arc arrows (archery), Pythagorean (mathematics), Renqi (Qimen), birds
Yi (Dun Jia), it’s all about getting to the bottom of things... Scholars can’t fathom its secrets.”
Historically, this person ranked first in the national examination and fourth in the palace examination. He combined the left and right theories of Yangming's theory of mind and was a pioneer of practical learning. The academic thoughts of Zhang Juzheng, Hai Rui and others were also influenced by him.
Moreover, Tang Shunzhi was also a famous anti-Japanese general who advocated naval battles to annihilate the enemy and prevent Japanese pirates from landing.
At that time, Tang Shunzhi was involved in political strife and was forced to resign for many years. Hu Zongxian was ordered to fight against the Japanese and was recruited as a staff member. The imperial court imposed strict sea restrictions and no official warships were allowed to go to sea without authorization.
Hu Zongxian followed Tang Shunzhi's suggestion and took the initiative to go to sea to attack the Japanese pirate ports. Tang Shunzhi personally led the fleet and sank thirteen Japanese pirate ships in the first battle. Tang Shunzhi was reinstated and, as the right general, sailed to the aid of Jiangbei and once again defeated the Japanese pirates.
.
Immediately afterwards, the friendly forces besieged the Japanese pirates' lair, but Tang Shunzhi suggested siege but not attack, which would destroy the Japanese pirates' morale. The pig teammates were eager to do their best and attacked directly, resulting in heavy casualties. The commander-in-chief Lu Bor wanted to withdraw his troops, but Tang Shunzhi refused. Once the Japanese pirates withdrew the siege, they ran away.
. As a civil servant, he personally attacked the enemy's stronghold with a sword and returned with a great victory.
Unfortunately, the weather was hot and the old illness relapsed.
Tang Shunzhi had been recuperating for several months, but the military situation was urgent. Jiajing promoted him and asked him to go on an expedition immediately. Unfortunately, he died of illness on a ship at sea.
Such a genius actually took the initiative to become a disciple of Wang Yuan.
Tang Shunzhi said: "Students admire Mr.'s erudition and hope to listen to his teachings!"
Wang Yuan smiled and said: "As for mathematics, I have nothing to teach you."
Tang Shunzhi said: "Students want to learn archery and sword skills."
"Are you good at martial arts?" Wang Yuan asked in surprise.
Tang Shunzhi said: "Of course."
Wang Yuan laughed loudly: "Okay, I will teach you archery and sword skills."
In history, Tang Shunzhi was forced to resign and after witnessing Japanese pirates invading his hometown, he practiced martial arts and military skills. At present, he is just a weak scholar.
He is not considered weak, Tang Shunzhi knows some boxing and kicking skills, and he also pays attention to physical exercise.
Wang Yuan had nothing to do, so he immediately took Tang Shunzhi to the martial arts field and taught the new student step by step how to draw a bow and shoot arrows.
This person is really a wizard, he can learn anything as soon as he is taught. Although his techniques are still very unfamiliar, he quickly masters various essentials. All he needs is consistent practice.
In the evening, Wang Yuan left him to have dinner at home and asked casually: "There is still half a year until the examination. You have been living in the capital for a long time, do you need money or money?"
Tang Shunzhi cupped his hands and said, "Thank you sir for your concern. There is no shortage of disciples."
There must be no shortage of them. His father is an official, and his grandfather is also an official. His hometown is in Nanzhili, and with the benefit of opening up the sea, the family business is booming.
Wang Yuan asked again: "Are you sure about the examination?"
Tang Shunzhi said: "I shouldn't fail."
Historically, Tang Shunzhi came first in the imperial examination. The first place in the palace examination that year was another student of Wang Yangming.
Tang Shunzhi just settled in the capital, studying mathematics by himself in the morning, learning archery and sword practice from Wang Yuan in the afternoon, and reviewing the Four Books and Five Classics in the evening. His martial arts improved by leaps and bounds, and he could still find time to write mathematics papers, and even occasionally wrote a few Sanqu. During this period, he showed great
His various astonishing talents made Wang Yuan feel that his IQ had been insulted.
There is really no comparison between people. Tang Shunzhi is a super academic, with all-round development of moral, intellectual, physical, artistic and physical skills.
The students of the School of Physics are so envious in their hearts.
Wang Yuan has not personally accepted students for several years, and those who joined later were all secondary disciples.
And what about Tang Shunzhi?
After studying mathematics at home for several years, he created his own branch of mathematics and directly qualified as an elder (academician). Now he has become Wang Yuan's direct disciple. He goes to Wang Yuan's house when he sees the sky. No matter how he gets involved in the future, he will be able to flourish.
