Just turned over a new leaf and became a wise and intelligent student

Chapter 112: Which high school student started with SCI? (33)

Xu Qingshan didn't know why Duan Yongming was so excited.

His entire mind is now immersed in constructing his thesis.

“You can write a paper so soon?”

Duan Yongming's movement disturbed other teachers in the office. When they heard the word "paper", they all came over to watch the fun.

Everyone knows that the teacher from Peking University sent a package to Xu Qingshan.

After all, the probability theory-related textbooks and materials that Xu Qingshan has on his desk during class are not without titles.

But no one expected that Xu Qingshan would think about writing a thesis at this time.

Although Xu Qingshan is undoubtedly a college entrance examination genius in the eyes of his teachers, he has his own unique skills in exam-oriented education.

But he had just completed the sprint to improve his scores, and had just been exposed to a little bit of university content. He might not even know what the paper should be about, but he started thinking about writing the paper himself.

It's really ridiculous.

This is like trying to fly before you learn to run.

The teachers did not mean to look down on Xu Qingshan.

But I'm also afraid that he's getting too complacent. If he fails to succeed in working on these things in the second half of the semester, his self-confidence will be dampened, and it might even affect his college entrance examination results.

With the teachers winking at them.

It is Duan Yongming, the section chief, who has to appear.

"Aoyama."

Duan Yongming put on his reading glasses again and asked Xu Qingshan to put down the folder first while he tried to persuade him.

"If you like to do academic research, the teacher is very supportive, but this paper is not so easy to grasp. You have just started reading the textbooks and have just learned a lot of things."

As Duan Yongming spoke, he picked up the folder handed to him by Xu Qingshan and continued to impart his own experience.

"The teachers have also attended university. For example, many of the teachers in our office are actually master's degree students."

"Papers are commonplace for us, but this also makes us more aware that it is not that simple."

"You are still young, you can't handle the thesis."

As Duan Yongming spoke, he moved his reading glasses slightly down, placed the nose pads on the tip of his nose, and then began to read Xu Qingshan's handwriting.

“The Deterministic Characteristics of Classical Probability Theory and D’Alembert’s Hybrid Mathematical View?”

Just this first glance.

Duan Yongming originally wanted to continue to guide Xu Qingshan to proceed step by step, but the words were on the tip of his tongue, but he swallowed them down.

“Classical determinism: The necessity of cause and effect in natural phenomena corresponds exactly to the necessity of the relationship between premises and conclusions in mathematical proofs.”

“New determinism: the contingency that can be perceived and controlled by humans to a certain extent, that is, certain accidental phenomena or events that occur with a stable probability.”

“In order to overcome the contradiction between the metaphysical characteristics of traditional mathematics and the effectiveness and rationality of its application, D’Alembert devoted himself to rebuilding mixed mathematics in which all propositions from axioms to the entire system were empirical.”

At this time, Xu Qingshan was only typing a rough outline on the homework paper.

Among the materials Chen Dayue gave him, there were quite a few papers for him to refer to and study.

Moreover, after all, it was the paper selected by the Dean of the School of Mathematics at Peking University.

Whether from the perspective of paper structure, normative standards, or academic content, it is a masterpiece.

In his previous life, Xu Qingshan didn’t know much about papers.

But unfortunately, I have a very good understanding and learn quickly in this life, plus I have abundant resources at hand.

Before I started writing, I had already outlined the structure of the paper.

What Duan Yongming saw was the core content that Xu Qingshan highlighted in the step-by-step structure of his paper.

Of course, his handwriting speed is limited.

These few sentences are just a brief summary, and are still considered the first half of this review of the history of mathematics.

Duan Yongming also studied mathematics in college.

He could understand these contents.

But precisely because he could understand it, he was surprised to find that there was nothing wrong with Xu Qingshan's thinking, and there was nothing wrong with his structure.

It seems much clearer and more concise than when Duan Yongming himself wrote his graduation thesis.

Duan Yongming was silent.

He now suddenly understood what it felt like to be Xu Qingshan's classmate.

So this is what it feels like to be hit by a dimensionality reduction attack from a talent.

"It's okay, go back and write."

Duan Yongming wants to give some suggestions.

But he sadly discovered that the only suggestions he could give Xu Qingshan now seemed to be low-quality ones like "remember to wait for the red light when crossing the road" and "don't let your bangs go beyond your eyebrows".

He is a little sad.

After getting permission from Mr. Duan, Xu Qingshan picked up the folder and walked out of the classroom while writing his homework.

Only Lao Duan was left sitting at his desk. He didn't even make tea and just sat in front of the computer in a daze.

"Old Section Chief, what's going on? Why don't you say anything after just a few words?"

"Yes, we can't let Qingshan get too cocky. It would be hard to comfort him if he falls. There are only about a hundred days left before the college entrance examination."

"Old Chief, why don't you say anything? Don't you want to say anything?"

There was a lot of chatter in the senior teacher's office.

Duan Yongming slept peacefully in the chair.

He does not share the joys and sorrows of others, he just thinks they are noisy.

Lu Xun really said this.

Xu Qingshan packed up his things and went home.

Everyone looked at Xu Qingshan's hurriedly leaving back with some curiosity, thinking that something had happened to him.

After all, Xu Qingshan has never left early, come in late, or asked for leave in all these days.

Xu Qingshan ran home with a secret feeling.

It’s a bit early, only three in the afternoon, and the old lady is not at home. She must be out for a walk.

Xu Qingshan threw away his schoolbag, took out his draft, and opened the laptop on the table.

Xu Qingshan directly created a new Word document on his desktop, entered the long list of titles according to his draft, and then began to write a preliminary summary according to his own ideas.

【Abstract: Classical probability theory has the characteristics of determinism in nature. Since the 17th century, the shift in deterministic thought has occurred in metaphysics. People believe that the scope of application of determinism can be greatly expanded and all phenomena can be included in the rules of mathematics. But at the same time, one of the most important representatives in the history of Western mathematics, the French mathematician and philosopher d'Alembert, integrated the functions of philosophical criticism, analysis and scrutiny into his mathematical research. He is committed to rebuilding completely empirical mixed mathematics. His view of mixed mathematics directly influenced his mathematical practice, especially his views on the then emerging probability theory, the "art of guessing."】

Theoretically speaking.

LaTeX is the most convenient format for typeset papers.

But what Xu Qingshan is writing now is just a review, a paper on the history of mathematics, so relatively speaking, there are relatively few formulas.

On the contrary, there will be more text parts.

In fact, most people who study mathematics like to talk about the history of mathematics.

If a person is an in-depth researcher in a certain direction or school of thought, he will be very familiar with the history of mathematics in his own field.

This is actually not difficult to understand.

Just like in the novels about cultivating immortals, any disciple from those famous families and holy places can talk at length about the history of their own sect.

Of course.

Mathematics is about action.

The role of the history of mathematics is not only to let people know how glorious this discipline has been or how it has developed.

The history of mathematics has even greater significance.

That is to let people who read history understand why the knowledge in textbooks is like this and why it can only be like this.

By combining it with the history of mathematics, we can understand the historical limitations of mathematical knowledge points.

Xu Qingshan felt deeply about this.

When he was studying complex functions before, he saw an interesting point related to complex analysis.

In complex analysis, there are many versions of Couchey's integral theorem.

They are both called couchy points, but they mean something very different.

Only by combining the history of mathematics with complex analysis can we easily explain the origin, development, and changes of each version and understand the succession of a knowledge point. Xu Qingshan's hands were typing quickly on the keyboard.

He found that keyboards of this era did not have as many fancy customizations and different switches as later ones.

But it’s surprisingly easy to use.

The sound of keyboards clacking.

Xu Qingshan's hands have woven a wonderful picture of the history of mathematics.

When writing a paper.

Xu Qingshan became increasingly aware of the historical logic behind mathematics.

This feeling of the development of a taking shape world order made him feel that he could remember the details of these evolutions more deeply and clearly.

Just like.
While he was reading, writing, and thinking.

He himself has traveled through time and space to the era when academic disputes were endless.

The mathematicians used old letters to express their admiration for new theories and their opinions on replacing old theories.

The noisy sounds and beautiful formula symbols made him sink.

Xu Qingshan presents his inspirations and ideas smoothly and easily in the main text.

He didn't even notice.

The world outside the window has been locked in a dark cage by the moon.

The small kitchen was lit by warm yellow light and could hear the sound of sizzling oil.

It was already 9 o'clock in the evening.

Xu Qingshan's long-term long-distance running fitness program was interrupted by such an accident today.

"call"

Xu Qingshan looked at the thousands of words he had written.

Well, not bad.

Everyone who has written a paper knows this.

The complete structure of a paper is very rigorous.

The title page should include the title, author, organization, and other information.

The abstract and keywords should be clear.

The subsequent main text, tables, figures, figure captions, labels, legends, cover letters, etc. must not be confused.

References are even more torturous.

The content of the paper on the mathematical history of classical probability theory that Xu Qingshan is going to write is actually not that much.

But what really needs him to spend time on are these miscellaneous things.

Especially the references.

Xu Qingshan felt that he was more abstract, so he wrote the main text first and then looked for literature.

Fortunately, he has a good memory, and if there are some words with a history, he can remember where they came from, which book, or which journal document.

Moreover, fortunately, for content such as the history of mathematics, the number of references required is not too many.

It revolves around the core keywords "mathematical view", "classical probability theory", "probability theory", "mixed mathematics" and "determinism".

Xu Qingshan sorted out the integrated development and critical adjustments achieved in the development process of classical probability theory from a complete perspective.

Under his grandmother's repeated urging, Xu Qingshan finished his lunch quickly.

Then I started writing my paper.

If his muscles hadn't sent out signals out of inertia, Xu Qingshan probably wouldn't even bother doing the bodyweight exercises in the house tonight and would just want to finish the paper in one go.

But nevertheless.

Xu Qingshan is still that scumbag.

His body was subconsciously doing the set training, but his eyes were completely empty and his mind was still thinking about what he was going to write.

Do a few sets, and sit on a chair and write a hundred words during the breaks.

As a result, his wooden chair was covered with sweat stains from sitting on it.

That lasted the whole night.

I don’t know what time Xu Qingshan goes to bed.

The next morning, Xu Qingshan went to school carrying his schoolbag and a dozen pages of printed papers.

During lunch break.

Xu Qingshan called Chen Dayue.

"Hello? Qingshan, I haven't seen you in the past few days. How are you doing? Is your probability theory going well? If there is anything you don't understand, just ask me."

Chen Dayue was in a good mood.

He felt that the fact that Xu Qingshan took the initiative to call and ask questions showed that he was serious about studying the problem.

"Mr. Chen, I've been doing well lately. I called today because I want to ask you for help with something."

Xu Qingshan was not embarrassed at all and spoke directly.

"You're not asking a question? Oh, tell me what's going on."

Chen Dayue's mood suddenly turned bad.

Although he admired Xu Qingshan's talent and thinking, he would feel uncomfortable if Xu Qingshan just "took" things from him instead of "giving" things.

The so-called "giving" here does not mean asking Xu Qingshan to give a gift.

Rather, Xu Qingshan's confusion in learning, his learning points, studying hard and asking questions frequently are the best gifts in Chen Dayue's eyes.

Hearing the disappointment in Chen Dayue's tone, Xu Qingshan didn't care.

He picked up the printed paper in his hand and asked.

"Teacher Chen, if I write a paper now, how should I submit it to a journal? Should I go with the Longjiang Experimental Unit or the Peking University Unit?"

This is Xu Qingshan’s problem.

He is not sure where to submit the paper after he finishes writing it.

"Ok?"

Chen Dayue was stunned for a moment.

"what?"

"You wrote a paper? Something?"

It is difficult for Chen Dayue to describe his feelings.

He was still thinking that Xu Qingshan would ask him more questions, but Xu Qingshan came up and threw a paper at him.

Are all young people nowadays so outrageous?
Chen Dayue didn't know whether to describe Xu Qingshan as crazy or evil.

He chose to reserve his opinion before seeing the full paper.

"Yes, I recently finished studying probability theory and got some inspiration, so I wrote a review of the history of mathematics, talking about the deterministic characteristics of classical probability theory and d'Alembert's mixed mathematical view."

"Teacher Chen, do you know where it would be more appropriate to publish a paper on this topic?"

"I haven't tried it yet, so I don't know much about it. I wonder if this quality can be published in a journal included in the SCI Science Citation Index?"

Xu Qingshan's tone was very calm.

But Chen Dayue on the other end of the phone was already feeling extremely upset.

"Tell me in detail what you wrote, your specific ideas, the structure of the paper, and the framework. Tell me everything."

Chen Dayue said impatiently.

"How about I send the paper to your email address when I get home tonight?"

"Okay! I'll send it as soon as I get back! I'll send you the email address later!"

Chen Dayue felt like he didn't want to attend the afternoon classes.

No.

Which good high school student would start by writing a paper that he wants to submit to an SCI journal?
