Recently, on the Internet, I saw a lot of people chatting about a person: Wei Shen of Peking University, Wei Dongyi.
Who is he?
How "God" does he have?
Let's take a look at his legend over the air.
IQ 168;
At the age of 16, he won the gold medal of the 49th International Mathematical Olympiad with full marks, and guaranteed Peking University, yes, he was the first person to get full marks since this competition was held;
In the second year of high school, the 50th International Mathematical Olympiad, Wei Dongyi fought again, and also won full points, and he only spent 1 hour in the finale, while before, the recognized international top prodigy took 7 hours, it was this game, Wei Dongyi was a god in one battle;
During his university years, he won the Hua Luogeng Gold Award, the Chen Provincial Gold Award, the Lin Jiaqiao Gold Award and other awards;
In the fourth college student mathematics competition in 2013, he alone won four individual gold medals, and won the individual all-around gold medal, but the students said, "The teacher does not take the first place to call it against the sky";
14 years of undergraduate graduation, 18 years to obtain a doctorate, only 8 years to complete all the courses of this master's and doctoral degrees;
Harvard University broke the rules for him and invited him to enter Harvard without exam English, but he refused;
The teacher commented that he was "a mathematical talent whose talent and behavior are quite similar to Chen Jingrun's";
His method of solving the problem, known as the "Wei method", is more concise than the standard answer, and his Proof of Wei Dongyi's inequality is called the legend circulating on the Internet;
When he was an assistant teacher in the mathematics department, the teacher even said, "Ask the teacher about the problem that will not be asked, the teacher will not ask the teaching assistant, and the teaching assistant will not be wrong that the problem is wrong..."
Some people call him "Wei Shen", some people worship him as "Sect Leader", some people say that he is a genius who has only been born in five hundred years...
Having these titles, calling him a lifetime genius, there should be no one who can oppose it.
Recently, Wei Shen suddenly went out of the circle because when he was interviewed, he was holding a bun and mineral water, not trimming the edges, and not good at words.
In fact, such a contrast is unexpected, but it is reasonable, since ancient times, geniuses have not been so purely focused?
Mathematics is Wei Dongyi's hobby, in the first grade of primary school, Wei Dongyi solved a mathematical problem in the book "Hua Luogeng Mathematics Learning", he felt a different kind of fun, and from then on, he understood that mathematics was his interest.
Wei Dongyi's father is a master's student in the mathematics department of Shandong University, and others are playing games and watching TV at home, while the parent-child game of their father and son is, "Come, let's do a math problem together." ”
Everyone evaluates a child as smart or not, often linked to his math score, a good math child, even if other subjects are not good, everyone will still think that he is smart.
This is because in the current examination papers, mathematics does have a responsibility, that is, to pull the score apart so that some children cannot score.
Why does the last big problem in mathematics have to be so difficult, obviously you can't use it in life?
It is because in mathematics not only examines knowledge, but also examines students' thinking, these similar to the strongest brain and the test questions in the Olympic games, have been out of the useful range, become a kind of intellectual competition, can play the students, are the gods of the class, their way of thinking, has reached another level.
This is a problem that the legendary Wei Dongyi inequality gave to another mathematical god, Nie Zi:
Raise your hand to understand the topic~
This is Nie Zipei's answer:
A two-page answer, a raised hand to understand the solution idea
There are very few of them...
I have to say that the students who study in the Mathematics Department of Peking University do this problem every day to play, and it is true that we ordinary people can't understand it.
I still remember when I was studying geometry before, because a auxiliary line could not be imagined, the whole evening self-study did not make a problem, the moment I saw the answer, I collapsed and cried, and then admitted that I really had nothing to do with mathematics.
For those of us who are not strong in mathematics, when doing the problem, the idea cannot be opened, and in the face of the blank on the test paper, it is really powerless.
Thinking about this thing, there is no is no, and there is no way to break the head.
Therefore, the students will worship the gods who are good at mathematics in the class.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="38" > in China's education system, the cultivation of logical thinking is actually lacking. </h1>
On the ability to calculate, the ability to understand, we may be relatively strong, but on the ability of logical thinking, it is very weak.
At least when we were young, we were not exposed to the training of logical thinking.
It wasn't until the university period, when I was exposed to logic, that I slowly reacted, and most of us didn't even have the most basic logical thinking.
For example, there is a very simple "syllogism" in logic, which is a very basic and very simple reasoning judgment in deductive reasoning, but from the statements of netizens on the Internet, it is completely incomprehensible.
It consists of a general principle (the great premise), a specialized statement attached to the preceding large premise (the small premise), and the conclusion that the resulting specialization statement conforms to the general principle.
For example:
All even-ungulates are vertebrates, cattle are even-ungulates, so cattle are vertebrates.
It's simple, right.
But there are some slight changes that some people can't understand, such as:
Ostriches don't fly, ostriches are birds, so some birds don't fly. (Third grid EAO type)
Ostrich, bird, this is still some people are familiar with the concept, if you encounter some more complex concepts, many people will be stunned, so that can not be an inference of true or false.
Logic is rigorous and scientific, and I think that in the future, children with logical thinking ability can adapt to the real society.
Of course, logical thinking encompasses more than that, like numbers, graphs, statistical measurements, and so on.
Parents today have noticed the importance of logical thinking.
Many parents have enrolled their children in training classes to learn thinking, so that children have logical thinking literacy from an early age, which is of great help to children's future learning. Of course, the premise is that the child can understand and be interested, and the training institution is professional and scientific enough to not play the opposite role, after all, spending money to let the child learn to think, the result is that there are not a few parents who feel that they have entered the pit.
It is recommended that you still choose large, formal institutions to register, offline can not choose online, they have a high-quality teaching and research team, will not pull seedlings to promote growth, will not ignore the law, will not erase the enthusiasm of children.
