Chapter 741: If you don’t know math, you just don’t know it
Of course, having said all that, independent venues and subway lines are all still under planning.
Especially the subway.
If it is built too far away, the meaning of the initial planning will be lost, and if it is built too close, it may affect the operation of some highly sophisticated experimental devices.
Therefore, it is necessary to adopt a different technical route from the normal track, and even consider setting up a special shielding layer.
Even if the approval for the construction is approved, detailed communication must be communicated with the municipal transportation department.
In short, it will be difficult to completely solve it in the next year or two.
So during this period, Chang Haonan still had to set up his laboratory on the main campus of Jinghang University.
After the guests and hosts had a good time, Chang Haonan sent the bosses to the car respectively.
But Tang Lintian stayed.
After all, a school-enterprise joint laboratory involves hundreds of millions of dollars in funding and the development of more than a dozen students and teachers. It is definitely not something that can be done just by shaking hands and announcing it.
Although most of the contracts and procedures have been completed before, there are still many trivial but important details that need to be determined personally by the top leaders of both parties.
"By the way, Professor Chang."
Tang Lintian followed Chang Haonan into the office, but he did not sit down immediately. Instead, he skillfully came to the cabinet by the wall and looked up and down:< br>
“Actually, I have been thinking in the past two years, is our talent training somewhat out of touch with social needs?”
In fact, Chang Haonan doesn't know much about talent training, but at this time, he can't spread his hands and say, let's change the topic. Besides, he is about to be a doctoral supervisor. This is different from what he led in the research institute in his previous life. Being an apprentice is not the same thing, so I continued following the other person’s topic:
“How do you say it?”
“Actually, I didn’t feel it before, but in the past two years, you and I After Professor Liu started that course, the gap was clearly felt."
Tang Lin couldn't find the tea he wanted for a long time, so he had to turn around and sit back on the sofa next to him to drink boiled water:
“The first batch of master’s students who have taken that course finished their second year of graduate studies this summer and just entered the internship. Judging from the feedback results, it is obvious that this content is very valuable and can be directly used in practice in many cases. Inside the work.”
"I even heard that some students will specifically write down their grades in this course on their resumes as a highlight when looking for an internship..."
"Wait a minute, wait a minute..."
Chang Haonan listened to what the other party was saying and became more and more biased, and quickly interrupted:
"First of all, that class was taught by Teacher Fang. I just went up and gave two lectures during his first class the year before last. Sentence..."
"Hey...don't worry about these details."
Tang Lintian waved his hand:
“You are responsible for compiling the textbooks for theoretical classes, and you are also responsible for developing the calculation tools for practical classes. You still say that you have never taught students?”
"In your case, even if you have not taught students directly, you can still be considered as at least half a teacher, let alone have been on the podium once. From my experience, after a few years of graduation, students may I can’t remember the name of the teacher who gave the lecture back then, but whenever I look up the textbook, the editor’s name is always written on it.”
Seeing Chang Haonan no longer refute, Tang Lintian paused for a moment and returned. The initial topic:
“I just wanted to say that, inspired by this course, I was wondering if I could consider opening more courses that are close to reality, and on the other hand, could I Consider allowing students to be exposed to actual R&D or engineering projects as early as possible, for example in the second or third year of undergraduate studies? ”
At this time, Chang Haonan finally understood.
In terms of teaching numerical calculation methods, Beijing Airlines is undoubtedly at the forefront of universities across the country and even around the world.
This leadership is undoubtedly one of the important reasons why Beijing Airlines can become an initial member of the "985 Project".
After Tang Lintian tasted this sweetness, he would naturally want to go further.
However, as a reborn person, Chang Haonan, even if he does not understand education, knows that this kind of thing cannot be repeated:
"Principal Tang, the focus of education is stability and continuity. That course has been very effective in the past two years because when the textbook was written, the content in it reached, or I can say with certainty, far exceeded "But as more and more researchers pay attention to numerical computing, its development speed will be much faster than in the past. If nothing else, I will talk about the new version of TORCH Multiphysics that I plan to launch next. It is already very different from the trial version in that textbook.”
“In the future, we may upgrade the software every six months to one year, but it will always happen. It is impossible to update textbooks every six months to a year, so the key is to lay a solid foundation. The knowledge learned in college is dead. No matter how advanced it was at the time, it will become outdated sooner or later, but the learning ability learned is alive. It can always be used."
At this point, Tang Lintian already had an enlightened expression on his face.
Just when he thought Chang Haonan was going to come up with some earth-shattering plan, the latter suddenly changed the subject and suddenly saw:
“When it comes to numerical calculations, in my opinion, this thing never changes from its roots.”
“So, if you really want our students to adapt to the times faster, then you can do it during the first and second years of college. Open a few basic mathematics courses, especially mathematical analysis and linear algebra. As the foundation of the foundation, we must pay more attention to it. I suggest that the number of class hours be increased by at least 50%, and the proportion of the final paper score in the total score should be increased! "
“Ahem——”
As soon as these words came out, not to mention the future students, even the principal Tang Lintian almost choked and the water in the cup spilled out. Quite a few.
As the saying goes, "Your eyes will deceive you, your ears will deceive you. Your experience will deceive you, your imagination will deceive you, but mathematics will not, and mathematics will not." ”
From elementary school to graduate school, mathematics is definitely the most troublesome subject for most students.
"You are not leaving any way for your juniors to survive..."
Tang Lintian wiped the sweat from his forehead. He had already thought that if he did this, he would This principal is afraid that he will be scolded to death.
Furthermore, the failure rate may skyrocket in the short term, which is not a good look for the school. .
However, in the long run, it can indeed help improve students' abilities.
"I can't talk about the issue of undergraduate training. I still have to go back and discuss it before making a decision."
Tang Lintian felt that he had to give himself a buffer first.
This is his first year as the principal. It would be really stressful if he had to do such a hard job right from the start.
After all, strict mathematics teaching is not only a test of students, but also a test of teachers.
“Let me talk about another thing first, which is to let middle and senior undergraduates participate in research and development or engineering projects...”
Chang Haonan waved his hand to interrupt the other party.
He knew that this was because his magical performance gave Tang Lintian some unrealistic thoughts, but he could not clearly say that he was actually cheating, so he had to choose a more circuitous route:
"This matter is the same as what I just said."
"Whether undergraduates enter the laboratory or participate in projects, they must first ensure that they have sufficient ability foundation. After being exposed to the project, , can quickly get involved, if it is just a simple start and do some repetitive work with no nutrition, then I think it is better to use the time to arrange a few more math classes. "
Tang Lintian put on the mask of pain again.
"Let's do this, Principal Tang."
After a moment of silence, Chang Haonan gave a "compromise" condition:
"Torch Group can provide some undergraduate students at Beijing Airlines Opportunity to participate in non-confidential projects, but before that, you must pass our group’s ability assessment, how about”
