Monument Yangmen

Chapter 44 Let Yang Yansi take charge of mathematics?

Chu Yan, this name is not prominent in the history of mathematics, because this guy's real major is astronomy.The new calendar of the Song Dynasty, the Chongtian Calendar, was created by this guy and nine people including Song Xinggu, the calendar official.

Few people know that this guy is not only proficient in astronomy, but also intensively studies push steps, yin and yang, and ephemeris.

Math is just one of the guy's many majors.

Although he is not well-known, he has an apprentice who is well-known in the field of arithmetic.

His apprentice was named Jia Xian. Jia Xian wrote "The Nine Chapters of the Yellow Emperor's Computational Classics and Fine Grass".

In the "Nine Chapters of Algorithm Explained" written by Yang Hui, there is a picture of the "origin of open practice", which is also known as the "Yang Hui Triangle" known to later generations. Yang Hui clearly marked "Jia Xian uses this technique" in the book.

When he was a child and went to school, Yang Yansi thought that Yang Hui was a modern person, and he only knew that the "Yang Hui Triangle" was created by a man named Yang Hui.

It wasn't until later, when I was studying history, that I learned that Yang Hui was a mathematician in the Southern Song Dynasty.

And the 'Yang Hui Triangle' also has another name called 'Jia Xian Triangle'.

It was only after he knew that Jia Xian still existed that Yang Yansi realized that Yang Hui was not the founder who discovered this law, he was just an inheritor.

Europeans call this law table Pascal's triangle.It is said that it was discovered by a European mathematician named Pascal in 1654.

However, compared with Jia Xian and Yang Hui, it seems to be several hundred years behind.

Perhaps, this thing is a certain European who crossed the ocean and got the book "The Nine Chapters of the Yellow Emperor" in China, and then quietly took it back to Europe...

There are many problems that I dare not delve into, and I dare not imagine.

The more you think about it, maybe... the closer to the truth.

At this moment, Yang Yansi looked at the unfinished 'Yang Hui Triangle' in front of him, and his heart was filled with infinite emotion.

After working for a long time, Chu Yan discovered this thing first.

If I perfect this law and record it in a book, will future generations call it "Yang Yansi Triangle" when they read books?

Thinking of this, Yang Yansi picked up his pen and began to solve the problems. It only took a quarter of an hour to complete all three problems.

'Yang Hui Triangle' is destined to be renamed.

……

"This..." Chu Yan stared at the perfected triangle diagram in his hand, and asked Yang Yansi, "How did you do it?"

Yang Yansi smirked, put on airs, and said, "Maybe, I'm a genius."

Chu Yan took Yang Yansi's answer sheet, pulled together a few Taixue Ph.D. students who were watching the battle, and started researching together.

Wang Qin was a little dumbfounded, "That's it...passed?"

Yang Yansi walked up to Shen Lun and bowed to salute, "Master Shen, Wansheng has won another round. I wonder what the next exam will be?"

Shen Lun's face was a little ugly.

Although he didn't like Wang Qin's approach, he agreed with Wang Qin's idea.

It's not good for young people to be too aggressive, so after preparing to suppress Yang Yansi, he will be included in the entry and taught well.

For this reason, he did not hesitate to dig deep, and invited Chu Yan, an unknown master of mathematics.

Unexpectedly, the hidden math masters would lose so quickly and thoroughly.

He even got advice from this kid.

Because of this kid, two departments in Taixue have been paralyzed now.

Doctors in chess are too lazy to give lessons to the students now, and they all gather around Liu Xin to study the zombie flow and the big avalanche with him.

Doctors of painting, obsessed with Yang Yansi's sketching skills, did not know how to obtain Yang Yansi's paintings, and began to copy behind closed doors all day.

Now it seems that Ph.Ds in computing are also hard to escape.

Shen Lun was considering whether to continue the assessment.

What if this kid really passes all nine assessments perfectly?
At that time, instead of suppressing this kid, the entire academy was completely paralyzed by this kid.

"Your Majesty's birthday is approaching, and Taixue still has to help the Ministry of Rites to manage the banquet. There is no time to assess you for the time being. I will send someone to inform you about the specific exam and when will be the next exam." Shen Lun said with a straight face.

"His Majesty's birthday?" Yang Yansi rolled his eyes, thought of something, and hurriedly saluted Shen Lun, "In that case, the boy will take his leave first..."

In the side hall of Taixue.

A group of doctors of Taixue shook their heads around Yang Yansi's test paper and studied.

Shen Lun scolded with a dark face, "It's worthless."

Not only were the doctors of Taixue not angry, but they saluted Shen Lun and said, "We thought that Yang Yansi was far superior to us in the field of arithmetic. I implore Mr. Shen to allow Yang Yansi to enter Taixue and master arithmetic."

Wang Qin jumped up and down.

"A monkey whose fur hasn't fully grown yet. You can't even be considered an imperial student. What qualifications do you have to master the art of arithmetic?"

Doctors of Taixue Mathematical Sciences are not afraid of Wang Qin, and bluntly said, "In the field of knowledge, those who have mastered it come first, and we are willing to ask for advice with an open mind. Moreover, Taixue Mathematical Sciences, I will be in charge, and whoever is in charge of Mathematical Sciences, I will have the final say .”

"you!"

In Taixue, doctors of mathematics are a group of special existences.They are often transferred by various ministries of the court to help, and they are the main force when the court checks taxes every year.

No one can take their place.

Zhao Guangyi attaches great importance to these people!
Wang Qin did not dare to offend them at will.

Shen Lun frowned and asked Chu Yan, "Chu Yan, what do you think Yang Yansi has achieved in mathematics?"

Chu Yan thought for a while, confused, "Among the known masters of mathematics, he is considered unmatched."

Chu Yan said this very conservatively. He was not sure whether there were other masters of mathematics in the mountains and fields that he did not know.

"The old man will consider this matter carefully, you go down first!"

The Ph.Ds in Taixue Mathematical Sciences left, but they did not give up. After returning to the house, they began to write memorials, begging Zhao Guangyi to approve Yang Yansi to take charge of Taixue Mathematical Sciences.

The wind spread to the ears of the doctors of painting and chess, and they also started to act.

Doctors in painting and chess are not as stubborn as scholars in mathematics.The memorial they gave to Zhao Guangyi was to ask Yang Yansi to be a doctor of painting and chess.

This country's supreme literary holy land suddenly boiled because of Yang Yansi.

The instigator, Yang Yansi, didn't know this, so he went out of the side hall, picked up She Saihua and Yang Yanqi, and the group got into the carriage and returned to Tianbo Yang's Mansion.

As soon as he entered the mansion, Yang Yansi shunned She Saihua's celebration banquet and went into the kitchen alone.

No matter how others persuade him, he just stays inside and cannot come out...
