On June 20th, the graduating ceremony of the Affiliated Middle School of Nanjing Normal University in Nanjing, Jiangsu Province, was held, and the principal Ge Jun delivered a speech at the ceremony. However, on online platforms such as Weibo, Zhihu, and Douyin, a book recommended by Ge Jun, "The Power of Calculus", unexpectedly became popular.

According to Jiangsu media reports such as Litchi News, Ge Jun said in his speech: "I recommend students to read the book "The Power of Calculus" in depth. Whether your interests are inclined toward the humanities or toward the economics of technology, you can perceive the importance of calculus as a basic way of thinking, and the basic tools, to your future.

In this regard, some netizens left a message on Weibo saying that they had silently added "The Power of Calculus" to the shopping cart.

In January this year, the surging news flipper party column also published an article "The Power of Calculus: The World Has Been Radically Changed by a Mysterious Branch of Mathematics" recommended the book. In the book The Power of Calculus, the applied mathematician Stogats tells calculus in a way that "tells stories" and "sees exhibitions," "We don't have to learn how to do calculus in order to understand the importance of calculus, just as we don't have to learn how to make a delicacy in order to enjoy it." ”

Ge Jun is the principal of the Affiliated Middle School of Nanjing Normal University, and also a part-time professor and master tutor of Nanjing Normal University. He has participated in the Jiangsu college entrance examination proposition many times, and the difficulty of publishing the paper has made many candidates "feel frightened" and is well known to the public on the Internet. He was also known as the "Emperor of Mathematics" by the people.

To this end, in June 2019, Ge Jun "shouted injustice" on the matter on the micro headlines. He first said in a self-deprecating tone, "I am Ge Jun, the Ge Jun who everyone calls the so-called 'love pervert' college entrance examination question." Whenever the math test questions in the college entrance examination are difficult, they have to push me out to 'hang' a bit, saying that it is the questions I have come up with, which is super difficult and embarrasses the majority of candidates. ”

Ge Jun said at the time that he had only participated in the proposition work of the mathematics volume of the Jiangsu Provincial College Entrance Examination in 2004, 2007, 2008 and 2010. In addition, it is all rumors, he has not participated in the proposition work of the national mathematics volume of the college entrance examination in any one year, nor has he participated in the proposition work of the college entrance examination in any province outside Jiangsu.
