The Red Era, the Opening University Speech

Chapter 227 Textbook Compilation Group Leader——Li Mu!

“For example, a software needs to simulate a real physical environment, which only requires some specific codes and algorithms.”

“Essentially, it simulates physical phenomena and physical laws through code to achieve real-world conditions such as shape, movement, and lighting.”

This knowledge belongs to computational graphics in computer science. It is not difficult, but it is quite complicated.

The expert who asked the question raised his glasses and looked at his colleagues around him, with recognition in his eyes.

He Baiyi waited for a while, and seeing that no one continued to ask questions, he said:

"Okay, then it's decided. We will set up a software professional textbook compilation team from today, and our Ministry of Culture and Education and the Semiconductor Research Institute will jointly participate in the compilation work."

"I propose that Comrade Li Mu be the leader of the group."

"I believe that he will be able to complete this task successfully. What do you think?"

As soon as he finished speaking, applause broke out in the conference room.

A large number of people who knew Li Mu responded enthusiastically:
"it is good!"

"I support!"

"The position of team leader must belong to Li Mu!"

……

Li Mu, who was still thinking about how to help textbooks be compiled faster so that more talents could be available in the software field, suddenly raised his head and looked at He Baiyi's smiling face.

He quickly said, "Wait, leader, I can't do this. How can I be the team leader?"

"Besides, I am busy with the research and development of several projects, so I can't spare much time."

"I think it would be more appropriate to let Director Wang do this."

"It's okay, it's okay. You just need to control the general direction, and leave the rest to us." He Baiyi said with a smile.

Wang Shoujue also said, "If I were to do it, the textbooks I would compile would at best be mediocre. It's hard to say whether they would be able to play a big role in cultivating software talents."

"But you are different. The teaching materials you write are definitely the best."

After he finished speaking, he glanced around and Huang Kun, Wu Xi and others all nodded.

It is no exaggeration to say that Li Mu is the strongest in software design in China and even in the world. Both his achievements and vision are far superior to those in the same field.

It is most appropriate for him to write teaching materials.

"No, it still can't be done. This textbook will be studied by students all over the country in the future. It's not appropriate for me to do it." Li Mu shook his head even more.

It's okay to let him copy materials, and it's also okay to let him guide research.

The thought of writing textbooks seems outrageous to me.

He Baiyi smiled and said, "You are just too modest. Even without mentioning your achievements in other areas, the title of the King of Invention is enough to carry weight."

He thought that Li Mu felt that he was too young to win the support of others, so he was considerate enough to help him out.

As expected, the professors of education sitting nearby all showed a look of realization when they heard what he said, and looked at Li Mu with disbelief in their eyes.

They said he looked so familiar, it turned out to be the great inventor in the newspaper!
And from what He Baiyi said, those inventions seemed to be only a tiny part of Li Mu's many achievements.

"Really not!" Li Mu looked at everyone's expectant eyes and smiled bitterly in his heart.

But now that I have said this, it would be a bit rude to refuse.

Feeling helpless, he said, "Okay, then I will be the team leader."

"But my ability is limited. If you think I'm not capable, tell me and I'll leave immediately."

"Okay, I'll do as you say." He Baiyi laughed.

limited ability?

He was praised by his superiors as a pillar of the country and a national treasure in the scientific community of Xia Country. He just listened to these words and did not take them seriously at all.

After the team leader was determined, the meeting came to a temporary end.

He Baiyi has to report the news of adding pilot schools to his superiors, and Li Mu also has to make some preparations before he can cope with the task of compiling textbooks.

After lunch, both parties agreed on the time for the next meeting and left.

Li Mu sat in the car, thought for a while, and opened the chat page. On the download list above, there was the download progress bar of CAM. Only half of the 100G had been downloaded.

This is definitely not something that can be moved.

I looked through the WIFI list, found the library of Jianqiao University, and searched for software design.

Click to enter and quickly see the relevant information.

Jianqiao's software-related major is called software engineering, but it is a graduate school course. Li Mu left a mark on it and directly excluded it.

If the foundation is not solid, it’s useless to learn.

Focus on the introduction to computer science.

Although the name is very general, computer science covers almost all the key skills and content required for software development, and he even found information on the course schedule.

The training sequence is also very clear. In the first year, students are exposed to basic content such as computer science, Java, operating systems, digital electronics, and then submit four papers.

Then we gradually go deeper and touch on more advanced topics, such as mobile and wireless sensor networks, communication principles and specifications, hardware and software verification, semantic computing, bioinformatics, etc.

The knowledge learned provides students with professional knowledge and skills in the field of software development.

But these materials can only be used as reference, and it will definitely not work if you just copy and paste them.

Not to mention the difference in knowledge content, there are also huge differences in learning habits and methods.

……

Li Mu did not return to the Semiconductor Research Institute, but went straight home and went into the study.

The first problem to be solved is the writing of basic textbooks. For example, the J language textbook he had helped to write before could be used as an introductory professional book on J language.

But this obviously does not cover all of computer science.

After pondering for a long time, Li Mu compared the information on the chat page and wrote down "Introduction to Computer Science", "Computer Organization and Design: Hardware/Software Interface", "Data Structure and Algorithm: J Language Description", "Design Pattern: The Foundation of Reusable Object-Oriented Software" in his notebook...

The long list of books made his scalp tingle.

But if you want to learn a subject, these are indispensable.

"Let's make a framework first." Li Mu sighed in his heart, and then quickly began to write the content framework.

……

For the next few days, Li Mu stayed in his study writing, except for occasionally visiting the Semiconductor Research Institute, Radar Research Institute and Atomic Power Research Institute.

It took a lot of effort to finish writing it before a new software professional textbook writing meeting.

The second meeting was still held at the Ministry of Culture and Education.

However, Wang Shoujue did not come this time. After all, he was the deputy director and had a lot of things to do.

——Li Mu suspected that he came along last time just to reassure himself, thinking that the position of editorial team leader would not be his. But it was too late to regret now, so he could only bite the bullet and go ahead.

……

In the small conference room, Li Mu knocked on the door twice, and the voices inside suddenly became much quieter.

When I went in, I saw that except Wang Shoujue, almost everyone who attended the last meeting was there.

He Baiyi saw him and walked up to him and said, "The suggestion you made last time was adopted by the higher-ups, and they decided to add five more technical colleges in Kyoto as pilot schools."

"If you think it's not enough, I'll respond again."

"That's enough." Li Mu nodded slightly and did not continue to ask for an increase in the number of pilot projects.

With three universities and five technical colleges, there are probably more than 3 people, which is more than enough. If there are more, he would be worried about problems.

He Baiyi said: "Okay, I'll leave the rest of the work to you. Just let me know if you need anything."

Compiling software professional textbooks is certainly important, but as the top leader of the department, it is already a rare occasion for him to attend twice, and it is impossible for him to follow Li Mu throughout the whole process.

"Don't worry, leader. Leave it to me." Li Mu responded with a smile. He then sent He Baiyi out and returned to the meeting room.

Standing on the stage, he first looked at Huang Kun, Wu Xi and others, and said, "Everyone, tell us your ideas first, and let's discuss it first."

"Okay, I'll go first." Huang Kun stood up and said, "I suggest compiling a basic introductory textbook first, starting from one point and going deeper to lay a solid foundation for students."

"For example, we should start with the simplest computer language."

After he finished speaking, Wu Xi stood up and said, "I agree with this idea. Software design involves a lot of knowledge in computing technology. Laying a solid foundation is more important than anything else."

"In addition, we can select some outstanding students from the first and second year students of computer technology to transfer to this major."

"In this way, our training time can be greatly shortened."

After the two stood up, experts and professors from other semiconductor research institutes also spoke in turn.

After asking this question, Li Mu turned his gaze to the expert in education on the other side.

The professor who first asked him a question last time, the one wearing glasses and with a slightly bald head, stood up and said:

"I agree with the method of changing majors, but I don't agree with the method of learning from point to surface."

"The country trains talents. Freshmen should lay a solid foundation. Sophomores should have certain experimental abilities. Juniors and seniors should at least reach the level of general application of the subject."

"Professor Huang just said that software is a very difficult major. If you study from point to point, it is unknown whether you can complete it in four years."

"Therefore, I think we should start from the overall and then go to the details, first increase the breadth of students' knowledge, and then let them explore the depth of knowledge."

Professor Xie Ding's speech was recognized by many people.

The compilation of textbooks follows the principle of systematicity, either going from point to surface in detail, or from surface to point, first flooding the area and then intensively cultivating it.

Comparing these two methods also has a great impact on the content written, so a decision must be made.

This was the first time that Li Mu was the team leader in compiling teaching materials. He just realized this and couldn't help but feel a headache.

While everyone was arguing, he quickly opened the database of Jianqiao University Library and searched for "systematic principles followed by university textbook compilation departments."

Soon, a large amount of information popped up.

Just click on one and browse it quickly.

It wasn't long before he closed the data with even more headache.

Both methods have their own advantages and disadvantages.

From point to surface, it lacks the breadth of knowledge, but it can enable students to have a deeper understanding of knowledge. At the same time, it can also establish a complete framework for them, which is more conducive to in-depth learning of knowledge.

From the overall to the specific, the depth of knowledge learned is not enough, but it is sufficient and broad enough to cultivate more comprehensive talents, and can also discover some talents with outstanding talents in certain aspects.

"It's a bit difficult to choose!" Li Mu frowned slightly.

When he looked up, he found that everyone had quieted down and was looking at him.

Huang Kun and Professor Xie Ding said at the same time: "Team Leader, please pay attention!"

"I think it is more appropriate to adopt a writing method from point to surface, from profound to extensive." Li Mu did not answer in a hurry, but thought about it carefully for a while before speaking.

Professor Xie Ding opened his mouth and was about to ask a question when he was interrupted by Li Mu:

"Listen to me first. Our country is indeed in urgent need of talents in all aspects, but this does not mean that our education and training methods should tend to cultivate well-rounded talents."

"The development of the software industry will have a huge impact on my country's economic and social development."

"We are already a small step ahead, but this is not enough. We need to be a big step ahead, or even several big steps ahead."

"We all know that falling behind will lead to being beaten. Standing at the turning point of the times, we must not be afraid of hardships or difficulties, but strive forward to create a free and peaceful sky for our descendants!"

After he finished speaking, Professor Xie Ding swallowed the words in his mouth and looked stunned.

"You are right. The process from depth to breadth is not easy, but we must believe that our college students can do it!" An expert in education stood up and said.

The others also agreed:
"Yes, it is a little difficult, but our college students are all hardworking and studious. They will definitely live up to the mission of this era if they take on this responsibility."

"Listening to Team Leader Li's words really enlightened me!"

"We made the mistake of empiricism. Team Leader Li is an authority in software development and knows better than us how to learn software development. We should learn from him."

……

Everyone looked at each other and talked about it, setting the tone for the writing of the textbooks from in-depth to extensive.

Seeing this, Li Mu picked up his briefcase and placed the suggestions he had written in the past few days on what kind of textbooks should be written in front of everyone, saying:

"Please circulate this to everyone. If you have any questions, you can ask me directly."

Looking at the thick stack of handwritten suggestion materials, which amounted to at least two or three hundred pages, everyone couldn't help swallowing.

Even Professor Xie Ding, who was still a little unconvinced, was completely convinced after reading a few pages.

With so much material, it would take any one of them at least half a year to finish writing it.

As a result, Li Mu finished writing it by himself in just a few days.

Compared with the preparations they have made in the past few days, there is a world of difference.

……

Because there is a lot of information, the circulation speed is relatively slow.

Each side has its own focus, and Huang Kun's side mainly checks the content.

Professor Xie Ding sorted out the compilation from educational perspectives such as scientificity, sequence, and systematicity.

It took them several hours to finish reading all the content.

Huang Kun put down the information in his hand and said, "I think there is no problem at all. We can write it according to Team Leader Li's plan."
