In the teaching building, there are more and more students coming and going, and classes are about to begin.

"Who is this? It's so arrogant? Tsinghua is okay. Forget Peking University, right? Do you think Tsinghua and Peking University are yours?"

"Isn't this that who?"

"Who?"

"Shen Qi, the provincial mathematics champion!"

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

"Yes, just him, from Class 2 (2) of Grade 2."

"A master of the school."

Several girls passing by were talking, looking back at Shen Qi while walking.

"Hello, girls, are you going to make an appointment?" Shen Qi waved to the girls.

Giggle, the girls giggled a few times and ran away.

Director Nie smiled playfully and said, "Shen Qi, you didn't dare to flirt with girls in school so blatantly before."

"I used to have poor grades, but 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, academics should be the priority in high school."

"Okay, Shen Qi, class is coming soon. You go back to the classroom first and consider what I just suggested."

Back in the classroom of Class 2 (2) in high school, Shen Qi was greeted with various worships.

"Shen Qi, the full score."

"Please take my knees."

"How can I get the full marks every time?"

"How do you become a math champion?"

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

"Things like full marks are just random tests, mainly depending on the status." Shen Qi sat down in his seat, took out his book and prepared for class.

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

The stars change, spring goes and summer comes.

It's June in a blink of an eye, the hot summer is coming.

After reaching level 4, Shen Qi's understanding of this subject has become more profound. He has recently been studying the journal "Journal of Mathematics" published by the Chinese Mathematics Society and the "Journal of Mathematics" published by Wuhan University. These two journals of mathematics are core domestic journals, and the tone of the paper is very much for Shen Qi's appetite.

He has also read Peking University's "Mathematical Research" and Fudan's "Mathematical Annual A". Overall, he feels that the last two books are not as insightful and profound as the previous two discussions.

The above four professional mathematics journals are among the four major domestic majors. If you can publish one or two mathematical papers in any of the four majors in China, take the journal that publishes your paper to the mathematics or science college of any domestic university, and say I want to come to you to study for a graduate student, and give you a chance... The School of Mathematics or Science College will definitely tell you, come on, teenager, and be admitted to the graduate student.

Shen Qi's current math level is still a certain gap from taking a journal to ensure a graduate degree.

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

To understand all the papers in the Journal of Mathematics, you must have a certain mathematical foundation. Otherwise, it is like reading a book of heaven, and you know all the words, but you don’t know what they mean.

The extracurricular interaction between Shen Qi and Zhang Wanbang continued, but Shen Qi found that Zhang Wanbang's reply was getting slower and slower.

In the past, Zhang Wanbang could write something for Shen Qi every day, but now, he has written more than 100 words in a week, and the last sentence is "I have nothing to teach you anymore. The subject of mathematics mainly relies on self-study."

Think about it, Shen Qi's mathematical index is already level 4, and Zhang Wanbang is systematically defined as a level 5 reference template. The teacher and student are just one level apart. As a master, you have to keep your skills in looking at your family's fortunes. Zhang Wanbang said that there is nothing to teach Shen Qi, and he can understand it.

"So one day I will graduate from Xinren Village and embark on a new journey of loneliness alone, and this day was several months earlier than I expected."

On June 25, Shen Qi packed his bags and went to the Northern Suburb Resort 38 kilometers away from home alone. He will undergo a week-long closed training camp for the provincial team here.

This Nanyue Mathematics Competition Team has one team leader, one deputy team leader, one liaison officer, and six team members.

The six team members have all gathered in the Northern Suburb Resort. The oldest 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 province.

The reason why the training site is located in the suburbs is that it is beautiful and very quiet.

Shen Qi was quite satisfied with the logistics arrangements. There was food, drink and WIFI here, and the two lived in a standard room.

The closed training was not as Shen Qi expected. All the team members were locked in a small dark room and did the questions for me. They couldn't solve the correct answer and were not given food.

In fact, the training courses are only 4 hours a day. The rest of the time, the team members love to play mobile phones, play games, read novels and novels, and free activities.

The team leader is the vice president of the Provincial Mathematics Association, and he is responsible for daily teaching.

"Can anyone tell me what the essence of a function is? Please answer it in just one sentence." The vice president asked a question at today's lecture.

"To put it bluntly, it is to study change and unchange." Shen Qi took the lead in speaking.

"Oh, is that right? Do other students have any additional supplements?" asked the vice president.

The other team members shook their heads and nodded, agreeing with Shen Qi's point of view.

"Shen Qi is right, functions are about studying change and unchange. Next, let's go to the part of the content and arrange and combine it."

For three days, the vice president has only talked about concepts and not specific questions in his lectures. He believes that teaching students one way of thinking is more effective than teaching them to do a hundred questions.

"Okay, that's all for today's professional teaching. Next, I want to talk about some relaxing content. You have been learning mathematics since the first grade of elementary school or even kindergarten. Do you know what era mathematics first appeared and who invented it?" The vice president is going to talk about the history of mathematics.

It was Shen Qi who first said: "I have watched CCTV's science and education films. Putting aside the way primitive people exchanged objects for objects, the real mathematics first appeared around 3000 BC. It was either invented by the ancient Babylonians or invented by the ancient Egyptians. There is controversy in the history of mathematics. Anyway, it is either the ancient Babylonians or the ancient Egyptians. If you want to build a sky garden and a pyramid, it is impossible not to apply mathematical knowledge or the real mathematics knowledge, rather than just using a cow for a bag of food."

"I personally prefer the ancient Babylonians. Of course, what I said doesn't count. I just communicate and discuss with all my classmates." The vice president wrote some strange symbols on the blackboard and asked, "Do you know what I wrote?"

The other five teammates looked confused, and Shen Qi was also confused. He could only guess: "cuneiform?"

"Oh, Shen Qi, can you even understand cuneiform characters?"

"I can't understand it. I just guessed that this is the cuneiform of ancient Babylon. Teacher Tian, ​​didn't you just say that you were biased towards ancient Babylonians?"

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

As he spoke, Teacher Tian became unhappy: "The six of you are a team, a team! Why is Shen Qi always speaking 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 said helplessly. Just talk about functions. What the hell is you talking about cuneiform characters?

"Oh." Teacher Tian sighed. The only one who hopes to achieve good results in the national arena is Shen Qi. Shen Qi's vision, knowledge and thinking are better than the other five players. For mathematics, this is very important. "Shen Qi, continue to guess whether the string of cuneiform characters I wrote is meaningful?"

Shen Qi studied it for a long time and said, "I don't know if it's meaningful, but I guess it's related to mathematics? Judging from the cuneiform characters drawn by Teacher Tian, ​​there is a certain regularity. The first symbol to the tenth symbol are completely different. But the latter few symbols have some of the same patterns, so Teacher Tian wants to teach us the decimal system?"

"Do you know the twelve-based system?" Teacher Tian was a little surprised, but thinking that Shen Qi is the champion of the whole province, there is nothing to make a fuss about knowing the twelve-based system.

Shen Qi nodded: "I know a little bit. The protagonist in "Martian Rescue" was trapped on Mars. Just when he was about to die, he relied on the twelve-digit system to contact the Earth headquarters and finally escaped from the birth day and returned to Earth. It's really awesome. This book is quite good, with a lot of imagination and awesome brags. I've been particularly obsessed with science fiction novels, hard science fiction."

"The twelve-digital system was also invented by the ancient Babylonians, and it is not difficult to understand. Now I want to talk about the sixty-decimal system. You should just listen to it as an interest and hobby. It doesn't matter if you don't understand it. I know that you are all academic masters in their respective schools, but academic masters are not just good at practicing questions. Those who only know how to practice questions are fake academic masters. A real academic master must understand two words--the pattern." Teacher Tian continued to draw his ancient Babylonian medieval mathematical symbols. His research on ancient mathematics was similar to Kong Yiji's fennel beans. It is hard to find a soulmate.

Now, Teacher Tian has a little soulmate, and Shen Qi is listening with relish to him about the mathematics dynasty 5,000 thousand years ago...
