Chapter 32 The Beauty of Mathematics

On the way to the classroom, Meiyi took the printed version of "The Beauty of Mathematics" and thought to herself: Fortunately, Miss Teresa was smart. If she published it under the title "What's So Hard About Bullshit Mathematics", she would have become a joke.

The math teacher actually said that math is bullshit, which makes people laugh out loud.

After Meiyi walked into the classroom, she was shocked. The two hundred seats in the entire lecture theater were full. He rubbed his eyes, walked out and looked at the door number of the classroom. After confirming that he had gone to the wrong classroom, he said: "

Are you all in the spiritual arts class?"

An elf student shouted: "Teacher Meiyi, we have students from various majors, mathematics, literature, music, dance, rhetoric, astronomy, accounting, history, architecture, science, botany... You won't kick us out, will you?"

?”

Meiyi said: "I don't know how. It's too late to be welcomed. However, math classes are not popular anywhere. Many students in the spiritual class yesterday were scared away. Why did you come here to suffer this?"

Another elf student said: "We came here because we heard that your math class was very interesting."

At this time, some students in the spiritual arts class who couldn't find their seats shouted anxiously: "Can you please save some face? You have to leave some space for us classmates in this class even if you skip the class. He is our teacher, not you."

of!"

Immediately, some students retorted: "Half of your spiritual arts class didn't attend class yesterday, and you don't even have a teacher in your eyes! Everyone can see this! We have heard that in order to prevent some of you from being expelled, the teacher took another

Yue just left!"

Meiyi got upset when he heard this, and he said loudly: "Please be quiet, please. Can I tell you a story?"

There was a sudden silence in the tense classroom. They all knew now that the teacher Mei Yi in front of them was the author of "Selected Flower Spirit Fairy Tales". In the Zhenling Theater, any play with the words "Author: Mei Yi" would be full.

.

Seeing that everyone had calmed down, Mei Yi said, "A little gecko encountered a big crocodile while playing in the wild. The big crocodile opened its bloody mouth and wanted to eat the little gecko."

Everyone tensed up, waiting for Meiyi to continue speaking.

"The little gecko couldn't escape. He had an idea, rushed forward and hugged the big crocodile, crying for his mother. The big crocodile was stunned, looked at the little gecko carefully, and then hugged the little gecko too.

Wiping away tears, he said: 'I told you not to study mathematics but to study it instead. Look at how thin you have become.'"

The lecture hall suddenly burst into laughter. All the unhappiness just now disappeared in the laughter. Those students who could not find a seat either sat on the steps or crowded together with other students.

A very beautiful elf student stood up and said, "Teacher, why do we still need to learn mathematics?"

Meiyi said: "Who still has such questions? Please raise your hand and show me."

With a swish sound, almost all the students in the classroom raised their hands.

Meiyi smiled and said, "It's the same as me before." He said to the fairy girl who was still standing there, "Classmate, what is your major?"

The fairy girl said: "Teacher, I study music, and my name is Zhuye."

Meiyi said: "Hello, Zhuye. Can you please sing two of your favorite songs for us?"

Zhuye was a little sullen. Her status was not low. She was the daughter of an earl in Zhenling City. Although her father did not have a fiefdom or fief, he served in the palace. These new nobles have more elves than those nobles with vast fiefdoms and self-respecting soldiers.

The king's trust.

When Mei Yi saw that she was unwilling, she said, "Please sit down. Let me first take spiritual magic as an example. In the Elf Era 999, that is, 500 years ago, the kingdom's spiritual magicians went deep into the demonic realm north of the Tianlu Mountains.

After nearly a hundred miles, we successfully opened a large prehistoric ruins and brought back a black box with a combination lock on it."

"There is a circle drawn on the top of the code disk," Meiyi drew on the blackboard. "The circumference and diameter are bolded. The first two numbers on the code disk are 31. There are 8 rotatable code wheels at the back. Now, you

Isn’t it time to know what the correct password is?”

There was silence in the classroom.

Meiyi said helplessly: "The last eight digits are 41592653, which together are exactly pi. The students in the spiritual arts class here, you worked hard to become spiritual magicians, but you entered the wrong password and died. No.

Is it a pity?”

The students in the spiritual arts class were immediately ashamed, and the students from other majors burst into laughter.

Meiyi smiled and said: "Don't laugh, because you will die too!" Seeing some people's expressions of disbelief, Meiyi changed her face, picked up the pointer and smashed it on the blackboard. The pointer broke with a sound, and the huge

The noise startled everyone.

"I'm not kidding you! How do you think the great plague happened in the 1000th year of the Elf Era? After the password was entered incorrectly, the bottle containing the terrible virus was broken. The plague first occurred in the palace, then spread to the royal city, and then throughout the country

In various places, nearly 20 million elves, goblins and humans in the Elf Kingdom died at once!"

The classroom suddenly became dead silent.

Meiyi softened her tone and continued: "Twenty years ago, a young man newly hired by the museum discovered the broken black box. He tried to enter the pi while everyone was away."

"Unfortunately, he only calculated the last eight digits of the decimal point of pi. Fortunately, the virus in the black box has been dispersed. For the last digit, he tried from 0 to 3, opened the black box, and found the remains that have not yet completely decayed.

The secret treasure - papermaking. This is the origin of papermaking."

All the students were deeply attracted by Mei Yi's story. Mei Yi struck while the iron was hot and looked around among all the students for several times. Finally, she picked out two elf boys and two goblin girls and called them to the podium.

Meiyi smiled and said: "If we have the same aesthetic vision, you should also think they are beautiful, right?"

After hearing the booing from the classmates in the classroom, Meiyi said, "Their beauty cannot escape the laws of mathematics. Let me first introduce you to a concept - the golden ratio, the value is approximately 0.618."

At Mei Yi's request, the students on the stage measured a series of body data for the same sex. They were surprised to find that the ratio of the measurement to the height of the upper part below the navel, the ratio of the length of the calf to the thigh, and the ratio of the forearm to the upper arm were found.

The data are all close to 0.618!

Meiyi also measured some famous paintings that were copied by later generations hanging in the classroom. The figures and architectural proportions in these famous paintings also conformed to the golden section. Even the angle between two leaves that Meiyi randomly picked from outside also conformed to the golden section.

.

They are crazy!

Meiyi said: "The beauty of mathematics is not only reflected in these places. For example, there are students from the science class here, and you must be familiar with this formula." Meiyi turned around and wrote F=GMm/r^2 on the blackboard.

As a result, the students in the science class all said that they had never seen this formula before. Meiyi had to explain the meaning of this formula again, and by the way, he gave a brief introduction to Kepler's three laws and the method of calculating star orbits.

This physical knowledge is far beyond this era, and it is very difficult for the students to understand it. After finally explaining it clearly, Meiyi said: "Students in the science class can cooperate with classmates in astronomy to check whether the movement of stars conforms to these formulas.

If so, it proves that I am legislating for the sky."

At this moment, there was a downpour outside the classroom and thunder roared. Meiyi looked out the window and said with a smile: "God is warning me not to reveal the secret. I am a little scared. Why don't I tell you how to calculate it?"

The speed of lightning and thunder and the weight of the planet beneath our feet, right?”

The classroom was filled with laughter and exclamations. All the students listened to Meiyi's lecture attentively and breathlessly, for fear of missing any moment.

After the two math classes, the applause almost brought down the teacher's roof. After the applause finally settled, Meiyi said: "I didn't talk about the content in the textbook today. I mainly talked about the relationship between mathematics and our daily lives." , I want to help you build up your interest in mathematics. Okay, get out of class is over."

As soon as Meiyi left the classroom, she saw a graceful elf girl in a black dress. She wore a star-shaped hairpin on her head, her hair was tied back casually, and she had a lazy and charming look. Meiyi was stunned.

, then he hugged the elf girl in front of him and said with some choking: "Sister Luo Luoqi..."

Luo Luoqi hugged Meiyi, her golden eyes full of soft light, and she said softly: "I asked Meiluke to measure it for me. My body proportion is quite different from 0.618..."

Meiyi said: "Fuck this bullshit math!"

classmate:"……"
