A sand sees a world, a wildflower in a heaven, put the infinite in the palm of your hand, eternity in a moment to collect.
— William Black
Recommend a movie about mathematics that is not boring at all and is funny instead - "The Doctor's Love Equation".
The film tells the story of a long and infinite love between a doctor who has only 80 minutes of memory and his lover, Mathematics.
Interpreting the philosophy of life contained in the numbers in poetic and elegant language, it also contains a warm story, finding the essence of beauty from the simplest and simplest prime numbers, mixed with understanding and warmth through one daily fragment after another, exuding a charming brilliance between mathematics and the philosophy of life, even if it is a mathematical slag, I am moved to a mess.
Imagine if every math class, the teacher would start by telling a story, triggering the student's learning fun;
If every math teacher can be very cute, or dress clean and comfortable or even stylish;
If every math teacher is full of love for mathematics itself, the fascinating beauty of mathematics will be fully expressed in every detail...
Then it is impossible. Therefore, watching "The Doctor's Love Equation" becomes more necessary, it will refresh people's understanding of mathematical appearances, and have the most direct feeling: it turns out that mathematics can also be so interesting.
[Interesting] Do you know this about mathematics?
1. Listen, every puzzle has its rhythm, and if you read the puzzle aloud and grasp its rhythm, you can be completely immersed in it, and you will guess where the traps are hidden.
2. Boring homework, if you try to read it like a poem and draw the problem, it will help solve the problem.
3. Prime numbers, ''prime'' refers to the real, natural and undisguised number, in other words, the number that can be divisible by 1 and itself. 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 19. ... These prime numbers are like endless stars in the sky, not subject to any known laws. Prime numbers are here, completely independent and absolutely arrogant. In other words, like you, each one is unique.
4. These prime numbers remain solitary, and they are the ones that the Doctor cherishes most in this world. "Does he really love numbers?" (Laughs) Sure, the object of his love may be a little strange, but love itself is not strange. He cherishes them, accompanies them, does not ask for anything in return, always respects them, never abandons them, does not abandon them for a moment.
5. Affinity numbers, such as the pair of 220 and 284, there are very few pairs, and only about 30 pairs have been found in the world. They are, god's design, to love one another.
6. Perfect numbers, such as the smallest perfect number 6 (6 = 1 + 2 + 3), they are precious numbers that express the meaning of perfection. Descartes said that just as perfect people are rare, perfect numbers are rare.
[Philosophy] In addition to being interesting, it is also beautiful and warm enough
In The Doctor's equation of love, i stands for love. How to understand, it can be said that love resolves all contradictions, and no matter how much suffering or sadness in the world ends up in a "nothing" because of love.
The Doctor once had a sad story: every time I saw children playing happily, a poem came to my mind:
"Watching other people's children play, tears can't be stopped, for the sake of my lost child, my heart is E, just like this equation, always equal to -1, our new life is always lost, for us, began to step out of the trajectory of life, no one helped, came to share your misfortune, this is my only wish, to my beloved N. ”】
Every time he met Agan, the doctor would touch his head and boast that his head was good and smart enough. The first time we ate together, the doctor said to Agen, "Eat as much as you want, and the child's task is to grow up." You can't eat because you don't like it, if you're still hungry, please help me eat something. ”
The Doctor is such a warm person as water.
When Agen unexpectedly entered the hospital, the doctor comforted Agen's mother. He first took a blank piece of paper and a pen and told her that drawing straight lines would calm her mind.
Then he said: "You think about it, why the straight line you draw has a beginning and an end, which means that the straight line you draw is a distance between two points, the definition of a straight line has no end, there should be no boundary, but a piece of paper has a boundary, because of the limited ability, we can only call the line segment a straight line."
Where are the real straight lines? Only, in our hearts, the eternal facts are invisible, they are not shaken by events, natural phenomena or emotions, and the invisible world, which supports the visible world, can find the most important things in our hearts. ”
In order to comfort her, the doctor took a stroke of his hand, changed the straight line into a root number, and then smiled at her, "You don't have to worry, the meaning of root is strong." ”
The Doctor, in his loving way, silently comforts the people around him in unexpected ways, which is really remarkable.
When the Doctor and Agan are playing outside, Agen is in a daze at a leaf, and the Doctor begins this set of conversations with him:
Agen: ["1 leaf is 1, and a tree with so many leaves is also 1, which is really interesting!" ” 】
Doctor: "Actually, defining 1 is a challenging thing, and it's only a leaf when it's complete. For you too, Agan, the harmonious whole is wonderful, and that means good. ”】
Or back to the topic of that straight line, you look at the straight line, the eternal fact is invisible. If you look at things with your heart, it doesn't matter how long the time is, what matters is now. The important thing is that you are not happy, do you enjoy the moments together, do you feel precious, will you feel good when you think about it?
So remember: now is the most noteworthy thing in my life.
