Chapter 25 mathematics

mathematics Running around these past few days has been a bit tiring. I have to do calculation problems in my dreams every night. After thinking hard and thinking about it, I still can't figure it out. I woke up in a cold sweat.According to a certain gentleman, every time he wakes up from dreaming and doing math problems, he will have nocturnal emission. Although I have no sperm to discharge, I am also exhausted.I remember that when I was in a certain girls' high school, I studied Duan Yuhua's mixed mathematics, geometry for a while, algebra for a while, which was troublesome enough.Mathematics is at five o'clock every week, every day except Monday. After an hour of lectures, there are always two or three exercises (about twenty or thirty questions) that are assigned to call someone to go to the blackboard to do it tomorrow.At that time, we had to have seven hours of regular classes every day, as well as morning exercises, extracurricular sports, meetings (alumni associations, student unions, class meetings, local lectures, various research associations), etc., and we had to comb our hair all the time. , washing feet, or changing clothes, there is really not much time left, and the Chinese teacher wants you to take notes and hand in the composition; the English teacher wants you to look up new words and memorize conversation; the physics and chemistry teacher wants you to do experiments... in the process of adding points Under the coercion of lures and deduction of credits, everyone is dizzy, how can they pay off the successive batches of math debts?So, with the doctrine of "it's up to him", fortunately, at the level of fifty-five people, only half of the people are called out, so I should be the one who is unlucky?

I hope to be spared today, and I hope to be spared tomorrow. If you don’t understand it before, you won’t understand it later.No need to worry about debts, I made an oral contract with a lady next to me, and we will divide the work: I will do Chinese and English, and I will write compositions and sentences for her. I want to ask her to come and spit beside me, and give me a piece of paper by the way.If I was called to go with her at the same time, the two of us would always choose a place to stand side by side, winking, she couldn't leave until I left, and I couldn't start until she left.After three years of being happy like this, her Chinese and English scores were in the 80s, and my math scores were also ranked first.

Nan Nan, who has been a teacher for several years, was terrified, not Zhu Er, but determined to apply for the normal department of X Middle School. Unexpectedly, children's psychology and introduction to education were more boring than geometry and algebra, so he obtained the consent of the school authority and transferred to the general department.This time the math textbooks are all in English, trigonometry and solid geometry, most of them have been saved.Mathematics teacher Mr. Hou is our principal's teacher. He is old and frail, and his family is well-off. He didn't want to work hard to give part-time lessons. After our principal's request, he came to volunteer for our first-level solid geometry. The principal will teach the triangle. Sir himself.The principal has a bachelor's degree in engineering from Peking University, and his academic method is to memorize it by rote, and whether he understands it is the second.The trigonometry we studied was recited by him by himself, as long as he said the formula, he could recite it immediately, and the same is true for the exercises.But if you change sinA, B, into sinXcosY, he will have to stay for a while.He did it himself, and he wants us to do the same.Because I was new to the reform subject, I had to memorize most of the trigonometry. I could barely follow the thirty-nine formulas, but I couldn't remember the hundreds of exercises. This made me think of dropping out of school several times.There were originally eight girls in our first grade, but only three were left at the end of the first semester, and it was only half of the original number that I added.The reasons for dropping out of school are all due to the fact that the back of the triangle is broken. Some suffer from cerebral palsy, some suffer from menstrual problems, and the remaining three maths are not very good. As for boys, they mostly cheat.

Mr. Tang's approach is different from the principal's: he has a deep understanding and strong interest in mathematics, and he is eager to pass on what he has learned to us. He explains it in a very detailed and clear way, and many people feel great interest.But there is also a bad point. Every time he encounters some classmates who are not happy to listen to the lecture, or fail to do Qian Yi's exercises, he always shows a very sad expression.He didn't scold us, he just felt sorry for himself, but we felt worse than scolding when we met.He thought that mathematics is omnipotent and that mathematics is supreme. If people don't understand mathematics, they will spend their lives in vain. He can't let us spend our lives in vain.He loves us, and we really have no way to make him not disappointed, for the limitation of time and spirit.

In order to repay his kindness and at the same time take care of my own face, I had no choice but to cheat.I have several cousins ​​who are fond of mathematics and science. I often write registered letters and express letters to ask them to do exercises for them. Applied when going to the blackboard.Sometimes he asked dozens of questions temporarily, and I was so anxious that I ran around the city.During the exam, I had to drive the night train for five or six nights. Every time I took a math test, I always had to take a few days of sick leave. He taught algebra in the second grade, and analytic geometry in the third grade. By the time I graduated, I was the only girl left. It wasn't that my math grades suddenly improved, or that I simply didn't care whether he was sad or not. The reason was because of me. There is already someone like the lady who stuffed me with paper balls every day in junior high school. That is a male classmate sitting behind me, who is my current husband.

With the sound of a thunderbolt, the examination began, which made us panic. The biggest difficulty was mathematics. The school authorities knew the reason and increased the hours. Starting from the textbooks of the first grade of junior high school, we reviewed all of them, up to more than ten times a week. The point is to make everyone feel eager to fight against X, and it is a declaration against the national exam.To be honest, if there is no mathematics in the subject of the examination, at least eight or nine out of ten students, like me, would not sign the manifesto.We would not have thought that the exam does not conform to the principles of education, that it does not fit in this way, that it does not fit in that way, and that you have a splitting headache to do exercises at night for math class, and only then did you come up with the high-sounding declaration of the top ten harms of the exam.

The college entrance examination passed, and then the Humanities Examination of the Capital X University required scores above the standard scores in each subject. According to a newspaper, I was the only one in the six counties of N this time. Failed out of mathematics.As for why I can be admitted?Coincidentally, two of the five questions were just read last night, and one was peeped from the beautiful girl on the right. Her paper was on the left, and only one question was copied on it. I scratched and scratched on the draft paper with a pen and thought hard. This question made me succeed, but I have never met this beautiful girl after entering school. Maybe she also failed the exam, so I will never have a chance to ask her. Thanks.

Because I am a liberal arts student, I have been insulated from mathematics since then, except for the daily addition, subtraction, multiplication and division.I have indeed suffered a lot because of it, and I still feel palpitations when I think about it.I have never had any benefit from it. Physics, chemistry, biology, etc. can still make me understand some things that I see every day, but it has nothing to do with me.I think forcing a person who loves literature to do algebraic trigonometry is just like forcing a person who studies mathematics to study the Four Books and Five Classics is a waste of energy and time.

Middle school students may not all be geniuses, and we hope that the education authorities will estimate their abilities for us, and then set the curriculum standards.
