"Mathematics is beautiful." Mathematicians often say so. So, is mathematics beautiful?
In the first semester, we came into contact with the course of advanced mathematics. At first, we thought it should be a little more difficult than high school mathematics, but we found that it was not a little more difficult, but much more abstract and difficult to understand. But slowly you will find that advanced mathematics is actually a science, and this science also has its beauty.
After careful consideration, I found that the beauty of mathematics now is in all aspects, such as the beauty of nature, simplicity, symmetry, logic and so on. The literary heritage accumulated from China's long history has given China's mathematics a dazzling and distinctive color, which is the beauty of mathematics. In short, mathematics is not as noisy and boring as some people think. It is not the accumulation of theorems and formulas, but a beautiful subject. Under the background of China's literature, mathematics also shines with different brilliance.
I often hear students ask such a question: "Why do you want to learn math?"
I don't know if these people have seriously thought about this problem. I didn't understand it until I went to college. Mathematics, we should learn a rigorous thinking, a concept. Out of school, if you can always observe things around you with a mathematical eye, then this mathematics is not in vain. I have always felt that if you really understand the function, you will be particularly sensitive to the dependence between the known and the unknown. Many seemingly complicated events in society can be seen as key factors in your eyes, forming a function. You will have a different view of everything.
Do we study math to learn problem-solving skills? Is it to squeeze into the weight of famous schools? Or can you find a good job in the future? The birthplace of mathematics is in Greece, and the character of mathematics is destined to be transcendent. When we used it as a tool of interest exchange, this road diverged from the beginning. Therefore, in order to train us to learn mathematics well, we must first cultivate our good mathematical literacy, seeking truth, beauty and goodness.
Of course, mathematics has always been the main cultural force in the development of human civilization, and the development of human culture has greatly affected the progress of mathematics; Moreover, mathematics is an art, so mathematics has not only scientific value, but also cultural and artistic value.
Then, we need to gradually understand the various values of mathematics. We can learn from mathematics the relationship between mathematical thinking methods and culture, and the relationship between mathematics and humanistic spirit and cultural quality.
In short, learn advanced mathematics well and have no regrets in this life.
