Mathematics is the real king and does not accept rebuttals
Chinese has always attached great importance to mathematics, especially at a time when the information revolution is in full swing and AI technology is subverting human cognition, mathematics has become a compulsory course for contemporary elites. In March this year, OpenAI's ChatGPT became popular all over the world, and the powerful tool that drives ChatGPT to make perfect answers is a super powerful AI algorithm model (Transformer NLP), and its underlying logic is mathematics. Mathematics is no longer a stereotypical formula theorem, or a bunch of symbols or numbers, mathematics is the productivity that changes the world, and it also changes our lives.
China is a country of mathematics masters. From Liu Hui and Zu Chongzhi in the Wei and Jin dynasties, to modern and contemporary mathematical masters Chen Shengsheng, Hua Luogeng, Chen Jingrun..., the reason for such achievements is inseparable from the great importance Chinese attaches to mathematics.
Chinese children have received very strict and standardized mathematics education since they were young, from the middle school entrance examination, college entrance examination, graduate school entrance examination, public entrance examination, to "Spring Festival Cup", "Hope Cup", "Mathematical Olympiad", "Hua Luogeng Cup Mathematics Competition", these mathematics tests and competitions run through almost the whole process of children's growth.
An undeniable fact is that mathematics is the most differentiated subject, whether in further education, school choice or even employment, mathematics is a measure of a person's IQ and thinking ability, especially in the environment of scarce resources and involvement.
Sunshine and snow, mathematics shelved
But something seems to backfire. The more people value mathematics, the more children are afraid of mathematics, near and far. Why do so many students today resist or even hate math? This is a topic worth pondering. But it has to be said that the mathematics books on the market are not suitable for students' learning is one of the important reasons. For the math books on the market today, there are the following common problems. 1. The form and content are too boring
2. Detached from life, high and low
3. The learning dimension is too single, which is easy to cause aesthetic fatigue
The subtlety of mathematics is that it is a flexible and easy-to-use tool that can be applied in all aspects of life. There is mathematics in trading and trading, and mathematics in games and entertainment, and it can be said that mathematics has long penetrated every corner of our lives.
It is very important to learn mathematics well.
