"And in history, there are many examples of achievements in science and sports at the same time. For example, the Danish physicist Niels Bohr, in addition to making great achievements in quantum mechanics, is also the goalkeeper of the Danish AB team;

Chance, an American physicist, even won an Olympic gold medal!"

"Speaking of the Olympic Games, next year will be the new Olympic Games! There is a strong call in the country for you to join the men's basketball team and participate in the Olympic Games. Do you plan to participate in this event?" The host lost no time in asking a question that everyone is concerned about.

"I'm afraid I don't have time!" This time Lu Qiujian clearly shook his head and refused. After this report meeting, the mathematical community is still doubtful about his prediction. Only by making some results in a short time can they reverse their stubbornness.

In addition, it takes time to apply for schools, graduate thesis, etc., and I am afraid that I will not have time to go to the Olympics. "This conference brought me a lot of inspiration, and I want to make some achievements as soon as possible!"

"It is almost everyone's dream to participate in the Olympics and win glory for the country. Why don't you want to participate?" The host still refused to give up.

"There is more than one way to win glory for the country. I can also contribute to the country in mathematics!" Lu Qiujian actually wanted to say that China no longer needs Olympic gold medals to stimulate national pride, but he doesn't think it is.

It's appropriate not to say it out loud.

After asking a few more personal questions, the host began to turn the topic to current mathematics education, "How do you see the current call for weakening the difficulty of mathematics in compulsory education? Many people now believe that there is a lot of mathematics knowledge learned at this stage.

Things that have no use value, such as the common problem in primary schools where water is filled and drained at the same time?"

"Actually, this problem can be seen as an economic problem. If the capacity of the pool is regarded as the total investment, water inflow is regarded as cash inflow, and water release is regarded as cash outflow, how long it takes to keep it full in the financial management is the static payback period of the investment.

....But telling primary school students about draining water from the pool is definitely faster than the investment payback period.

It needs to be more vivid! This mathematical method can be used in everything from a family's accumulation of funds to purchase a house, to a company's operations, to a country's financial balance! How can it be said that it has no use value?" Lu Qiujian retorted. "

In fact, the applications of mathematics are everywhere, but most of the time people don’t realize it!”

"But the difficulty of mathematics in American middle schools is much lower than ours, but America's mathematics research is still No. 1 in the world! Doesn't this mean that mathematics before college is not that important?" The host seemed a little unconvinced and habitually said

Let’s talk about the superior system of the United States.

"Who told you that mathematics in American middle schools is less difficult than ours?" Her tone reminded Lu Qiujian of the Internet celebrities he met in his previous life. "The courses in American middle schools are not shallow, but broad! It is also mathematics, and there are

The more relaxed classes have courses that are much easier than ours, and they also provide students with very good learning abilities.

High-end classes prepared by strong students start learning calculus and other college mathematics content in high school. Those students can use calculus as easily as our students can do the four arithmetic operations! And our high school mathematics is of uniform difficulty.

Those who study poorly cannot keep up, and those who study well cannot be satisfied!”

However, it is not easy to change this situation. Firstly, difficulty grading like this will definitely increase a lot of education expenses. Secondly, I am afraid that parents will not agree. Why should other people’s children learn advanced things? Their own children

Can you only learn the simplest things? Can the school tell these parents that your child is too stupid to learn?

"Then can we also do this..." Halfway through, she motioned to the cameraman to delete this paragraph. She probably thought of something and asked other questions. Half an hour passed.

, almost all the questions in the interview outline were asked, and the host packed up his things with satisfaction and was ready to leave.

Before leaving, she seemed to have a sudden inspiration, and turned around and asked, "Mr. Lu, I have talked with you so much about mathematics today. Even I, a liberal arts student, have become interested in mathematics. I wonder if you are interested in doing one specifically?"

A program about math?”

"Oh? Are you talking about programs similar to popular science?" This seems like a good idea! If you can subtly convey your views through TV programs, it will be a big gain. If it can inspire more people to like it,

Mathematics will also be of great benefit to your future plans!

The host also asked casually. Seeing that Lu Qiujian, who rarely interacted with the media, seemed to be very interested, he immediately became energetic and went back to the room to sit down and discuss it in detail with Lu Qiujian.

"After listening to you talk so much, I can't wait to see your program right away! I will report to the leader when I get back, and I estimate that the probability of passing it will be high!" The host left for the second time, and this time the handshake was obviously more enthusiastic than the last time.

I have made a lot of money. If this plan can be passed, it will be of great benefit to my career.

After the host left, Lu Qiujian was in the room thinking about how to make a program. Since it is a popular science program, it must first be interesting, educational and entertaining, and convey knowledge points to the audience on the other side of the TV in a simple way.

.

Fortunately, I have watched one or two teaching videos of "Khan Academy" before. Salman Khan's teaching style just meets his requirements. On this basis, it can be completed with slight modifications.

That’s it! Most of Khan’s videos only appear on a blackboard instead of a real person. The difficulty of shooting is not high at all. You don’t even need a professional videographer. You can record at any time by getting a set of equipment at home. In this way

First of all, it saves the time of traveling back and forth between school and the TV station. He can successfully complete the program in a few hours a day, which is really suitable for his needs!

The host's application was quickly approved. It was a dream to have such a famous mathematician willing to cooperate with his own TV station to produce popular science programs.

But when she heard Lu Qiujian's plan, she became embarrassed again. Taiwan's popular science programs are not like this! And it seems that there are no programs of this style abroad. In this case, it will be difficult to pass, right?

"I've recorded two samples here, why don't you take them back and take a look first?" Lu Qiujian was already prepared and took out the USB flash drive and handed it over.

When I saw the samples recorded by Lu Qiujian on DVD on the stage, all doubts quickly disappeared.

The station installed special equipment in Lu Qiujian's room, allowing him to perform as he wished. After five episodes of samples were saved, the program was officially launched on the Science and Education Channel. The name of the program was "Learning Mathematics with Lu Qiujian"! (Unfinished)

ps: Thanks to teng1861 for the 20,000 starting coin reward for adding an update to this book. I updated twelve chapters today, and I will continue to pay off my debt tomorrow. I have more than 400 monthly tickets, and I owe two updates. The first order is almost 1,700.
Chapter completed!
