Chapter 985 Wants to Learn Mathematics (Part [-])
"After passing the entrance examination of the Academy of Sciences, you have to choose a different department. I don't know what direction you need to study, sister Liu? Do you want to come to our medical department? Although the study time is longer than other departments, it is too late now. The salaries of doctors in hospitals and hospitals are very high. The government pays more attention to hygiene and disease control, and there is a shortage of female doctors. Many patients are female patients, and it is not appropriate for male doctors to take care of them. There are also some pediatricians who are also suitable for women. It’s a pity that there are very few women in the Academy of Sciences, and the men are unwilling to take care of children.” After Xiao Xiuer knew that Liu Rushi had passed the entrance examination of the Academy of Sciences, she encouraged her to choose the Department of Medicine.

Doctors were not considered a respectable profession in ancient times. Their status was lower than that of scholars, farmers, businessmen, and sometimes they were related to witchcraft and poison.Although Chu Yun vigorously promotes medicine and increases the income of doctors, at present, few people are willing to study medicine, resulting in a shortage of doctors and nurses.

"After passing the examination, do I still need to choose a direction? I thought the government would arrange each candidate." Liu Rushi said.

"After all, this is a matter related to a person's life. Naturally, we should try our best to take care of everyone's thoughts. After knowing the result, we have half a month to think about it. A person can apply for up to five volunteers, and arrange them according to the scores. It is said This method was thought up by the military master, how could a normal person think of doing this." Xiao Xiu'er said.

"Master Junzhu is really a strange person. It is incredible that he can come up with such a method." Liu Rushi was also surprised.

How did they think that Chu Yun just copied the assessment method of later generations. Although this method has many flaws, the principle of only scoring first can quickly select a group of people who are willing to accept new learning, and then turn it into a factory like a factory. Batches of professionals have been transferred to new positions.

In order for the old-school scholars to accept new knowledge such as mathematics, Neo-Confucianism, and law, which are far from the Four Books and Five Classics, as long as they are constantly comparing scores and given enough incentives, they will flock to it, even if they still can’t understand it. What is the practical effect of learning these contents, but for official career, money, and fame, they will compete with each other.

"The number of departments in the Academy of Sciences has increased over the years. In the past, there were only a dozen departments in southern Liaoning, but now it has increased to hundreds. Many departments have thousands of people, and few departments even have only A few people. The Academy of Sciences collects very little tuition, and there are subsidies for poor and outstanding students. Such a large number of people has brought a huge financial burden. Fortunately, there are many factories under the Academy of Sciences. These factories have begun to make profits and can subsidize these education Expenditures." Da Yuer entered the Academy of Sciences when she was in southern Liaoning, and learned about the changes over the years.

"Then what direction should I choose?" Liu Rushi didn't know many departments in the Academy of Sciences.

"Fortunately, I was careful. Just now in the examination room, administrative officials were distributing application forms and department lists to the candidates on the list. You just came back." Da Yuer handed the two forms to Liu Rushi.

The first form is the list of faculties and departments, which records all the faculties and departments in the Academy of Sciences in detail. The second form is the application form, and you can choose up to five of them.

Liu Rushi briefly glanced at the list of colleges and departments: "It is actually divided into three places: Beijing Academy of Sciences Headquarters, Nanjing Academy of Sciences, and Liaoning Academy of Sciences."

"Yes, before the implementation of the school system, the Academy of Sciences had three locations, the headquarters, the Nanjing Branch, and the Southern Liaoning Branch. In the future, the two branches will be independent and become two comprehensive universities." Da Yuer said.

Of course Liu Rushi wanted to stay in the capital, but he didn't know what direction to study after seeing all kinds of departments on the department list.

Xiao Xiuer is from the Department of Medicine, and Da Yuer is from the Department of Economics. What is she really interested in?
"If a woman wants to enter an official career, the departments in the Department of Humanities and Sciences will be more suitable. Many of the people trained by the Department of Natural Sciences have gone to factories and construction sites. Some of them study applied sciences, but natural sciences are difficult. Different disciplines It is difficult for ordinary people to understand those contents. The content of the assessment you participated in is only a very superficial part, and it has not touched the difficult part." Da Yuer said when Liu Rushi was thinking about it.

Liu Rushi scanned the list and found an interesting department: "How about this mathematics department?"

"Department of Mathematics?!" Da Yu'er and Xiao Xiu'er looked at each other in blank dismay. They had both been in the Academy of Sciences, and they knew that the contents of this academy were beyond the reach of ordinary people.

"Are you sure you want to choose such a difficult and difficult direction?" Both Xiao Xiuer and Da Yuer found it unimaginable, and Liu Rushi's choice was beyond everyone's expectations.

"If arithmetic is involved in other knowledge, it is usually relatively simple arithmetic knowledge. If you specialize in this kind of difficult knowledge, you may delay all your youth, or even gain nothing." Ella reminded as a partner.

Xiao Xiuer has a special job for her studies in the medical department, and Da Yuer has also embarked on an official career, but if Liu Rushi chooses mathematics as a basic science, it will be hard to say what she will do in the future.

Liu Rushi was also a little tangled, she had no income of her own, and she had to support Chen Yuanyuan, so she had to consider the reality.

"In the past, our people paid attention to practicality, but did not have enough induction on the natural principles behind them. I want to study the most basic problems. "Nine Chapters on Arithmetic" records the application of arithmetic in practical problems. I think that if basic science can Going a step further will be of great benefit to solving practical problems, right?" Liu Rushi said.

"It's okay if you think so. Different people have different pursuits. How can we force you?" Aila and the others still respect Liu Rushi's choice.

"Let me think about it again..." Liu Rushi was also afraid that she had made a wrong choice on a whim.

"There is still half a month left, so don't worry at all. Even if you are in the Department of Mathematics, you can still stay in the Academy of Sciences to do research. The Academy of Sciences has a salary, and it is not low. It is too difficult to produce results. There are A lot of talent," Ella said.

The geniuses in the Department of Mathematics mentioned by Ella include Newton, Taylor, Mark Laurin, Monge, Gauss, Bernoulli and other top figures in the mathematics field summoned by Chu Yun. Their research fields include number theory, partial differential, non-linear Euclidean geometry, etc., are likely to be the most difficult knowledge in the world so far.

If Liu Rushi chooses to enter the Department of Mathematics, her tutors will be the masters who stood at the pinnacle of mathematics in the 18 years of the 19th and 200th centuries, and the research results of any one of them can be amazing.
