First, Chinese mathematics

When she was a child, Sue was not interested in mathematics. He thinks mathematics is too simple and easy to learn, so he despises it. In the third grade, a teacher Yang who came back from studying in Tokyo became his math teacher.

Teacher Yang didn't talk about knowledge in the first class, but gave the students patriotic education: "Students, in today's world, the law of the jungle, the world powers rely on their own strong ships and guns, all want to eat China and carve it up. The danger of national subjugation and extinction of the Chinese nation is imminent, so it is imperative to revitalize science, develop industry and save the nation from extinction. Every student here has a responsibility to' rise and fall in the world'. " He quoted and described the great role of mathematics in the development of modern science and technology.

The last sentence of this lesson is: in order to save the country and survive, science must be revitalized. Mathematics is the pioneer of science. In order to develop science, we must learn math well.

Sue was so excited that she knew the importance of mathematics for the first time and realized the true significance of learning mathematics well and the historical responsibility that a student should bear. From then on, he shifted his interest in literature to mathematics, and set the motto "Never forget to save the country when reading, and never forget to study when saving the country".

Su, 19 17 years old, ranked first in the world-class university of technology, and graduated from the Department of Electrical Engineering, Tokyo Institute of Technology 193 1 year doctor of nursing. At this time, he has written more than 40 mathematical research papers and made remarkable achievements in differential geometry. He refused to be retained by all parties and resolutely returned to China to build a first-class mathematics department for the motherland.

When his wife asked him, "Why do you study math so hard?" Do you really think that's funny? "

He replied, "The development of China needs mathematics. At first, I really didn't think it was interesting to listen to songs and dance, but when you connect mathematics with the national movement, you will find what a rich and attractive field it is. "

Second, the arts and sciences are all brilliant.

Sue has been interested in literature since she was a child. He recited Zuo Zhuan and Hundred Family Names, and even the teacher thought that he had copied his article. Just as he has never stopped studying mathematics in his life, he has always insisted on writing poems, published more than 500 poems, and also published Su's collection of poems and The Blending of Mathematics and Poetry.

Feng Zikai once commented on his poems: I think the best wine and food in the world are nothing more than poems, and the poems of mathematicians are particularly pure in taste.

Although he only teaches mathematics, he always teaches students that Chinese is the first element of success. He said, "As China people, how can we not love and learn our own language well? My Chinese level is so low that I can't even understand math problems. If the problem is not clear, the solution is wrong. If you want to write an excellent scientific research paper, you must not express it in Chinese. "

Third, Teacher Yan is loved.

He asked students to write well, read more literature books and learn at least four foreign languages. As for foreign languages, he said, if a scholar has made great achievements and his English level is poor, when he wants to translate his thesis into English, it will easily lead to unsatisfactory words in the translated thesis, and he cannot speak to the world mathematics community on behalf of China.

He warned his classmates that when they are engaged in learning, they must understand thoroughly, avoid a little knowledge, and never allow uncertain words such as "probably" and "possible". Remember six words: strict, strict and rigorous.

On one occasion, a student named Xiong was afraid of failing the defense the next day. He went to his house for special consultation all night, but severely reprimanded him: "How can you get a good job when you are cramming so temporarily?" Xiong Quanzhi realized his mistake and studied hard all night under the guidance of his teacher. The paper barely passed the exam the next day. Later, Xiong became a professor in a famous American school. When he returned to visit Enshi, he said with emotion: "Thank you, Mr.!"

He is strict with his students and more strict with himself. He asked students not to be late, leave early or skip class. He sets an example by arriving at the classroom half an hour early, rain or shine.

Fourth, a good teacher makes a good apprentice.

Su devoted himself to teaching all his life and never stopped studying and researching. Published academic papers 156, and wrote more than 0 monographs 10, such as Introduction to Projective Curves, Introduction to Projective Surfaces, and Differential Geometry in General Space.

He has sent countless talents to the motherland all his life. Gu Chaohao, a famous mathematician, shocked the international mathematics community by solving the Cauchy problem of Young-Mills equation.

He encouraged students to surpass themselves and often said to them, "Only when each generation surpasses the next can science develop and career have hope. You should surpass me and move towards higher goals. "

He summed up three experiences in cultivating talents:

1. Encourage them to catch up with themselves as soon as possible;

2. Don't block their road to success, let them surpass themselves and go forward bravely;

Teachers must not do it once and for all, but also pay close attention to study and research, and use their own actions to drive and push behind, so that young and middle-aged people can guard against arrogance and rashness and forge ahead.

Five, humorous

Facing Gu Chaohao, a proud pupil, Su said, "You have only one thing that you haven't surpassed your teacher, that is, you haven't trained a student like Gu Chaohao."

He personally compiled three textbooks, calling on primary school mathematics not to be so deep and difficult, and it is best not to teach mathematics in grades one and two. The key to learning mathematics is to cultivate mathematical thinking, which is not taught by indoctrination.

He thinks that interest is the best teacher, while science needs humor more. He often says humorously to his students as soon as he takes the stage: "My name is Sue, so my students can't count!" " !

I believe that such a math teacher is what every student wants!
