Chu Tang: Tell Li Er at the beginning that I am a time traveler

Chapter 50 It's All Li Chong!

As soon as the three arithmetic problems were distributed, the students of the Imperial College began to answer them seriously.

However, some people were not convinced at the beginning, saying that it was impossible to calculate the answers to these questions, until someone showed Li Chong's answering process.

period……

Even the students of the Hongwen Museum know about it, so they must take a look out of curiosity.

As a result, they all died in battle.

During this process, Li Chong's reputation became more and more famous, even more famous than when he was the prince's teacher.

After all, this is something that both parents and children know.

In particular, whether it is the Imperial Academy or the Hongwen Museum, these are all the heirs of the emperor's relatives, aristocratic families, and nobles.

even……

Because Li Chong's question was so perverted, even Empress Changsun and Li Lizhi knew about it.

On this day, Empress Changsun took the title and read it.

She knows every word on the paper, but what do you say?

Her mind was completely empty.

Speaking of...

Will Lizhi also learn arithmetic in the future?
Although there will definitely be someone in the Princess Mansion who will do this kind of thing in the future, it's not like I don't know anything about it.

Of course, for people like Li Chong, forget it.

There is no need to learn so deeply.

"Queen, I'll fan you."

"Why don't Lizhi also learn arithmetic?"

"..."

……

It's May.

The dampness and heat of the Taiji Palace have already appeared.

Li Er also regretted listening to Li Chong's words.

This Tai Chi Palace is really not a place for people to live in summer.

But now, he is not allowed to ask where he wants to escape the summer heat.

This year, just hang on.

On the side of the Hongwen Museum, there are fewer students, only about thirty or so.

At the beginning, they mainly studied calligraphy, but of course they also had to take care of other things.

I have long since given up on solving those problems.

However, since they knew the answer to Li Zhong's first question and the steps to solve it, some of the questions in the previous "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic" seemed not so difficult.

Like surplus and deficiency, everything you don’t know will be taken as you know.

In an instant, many people seemed to have been directly opened to the sky, and there was a feeling that there was nothing that could not be solved with a list of equations. If there was, then list another one.

In addition, they did not know where they got the questions from Li Chunfeng, which was reworked by Li Chong.

In an instant, the originally thick nine chapters of arithmetic, now, it seems that there is only one simple formula left.

Of course, this is definitely an exaggeration, but this is indeed an innovation that subverted their imagination.

So much so that the Ph.D. who is responsible for teaching mathematics is a little unhappy.

After all, as an old man, in his heart, he can't help but reject new things.

Not to mention, the students were desperately applauding for the equation.

Compare what he taught with what Li Chong used.

Then who can accept it.

can only say……

Li Chong still lacked a little way of dealing with people.

Li Zhongzhong told Dr. Jia about this method first, and Dr. Jia would definitely not feel uncomfortable in his heart.

But how could Li Chong be blamed?

Li Chong also didn't say that his own equations were better than his ancestor's plus-minus technique.

Now the position of doctor of mathematics is very embarrassing.

Maybe, in two days, they will pack up and leave.

Mainly because I can't afford to lose that face.

There are only three days left before the one-month deadline.

Finally, after thinking about it, the doctor of mathematics still came to find Li Chong.It's not that he came to find Li Chong for a fight, but to ask for advice humbly.

Li Chong heard that he was a Ph.D. from the Imperial College, so of course he warmly welcomed him.

then……

The two began to discuss the topic.

From "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic" to other arithmetic scriptures, he found that Li Chong didn't know much, so...

It might just be that Li Chong accidentally invented such an algorithm, so there is no need to take Li Chong too seriously.

but……

This is indeed an epoch-making invention. With this kind of symbol system, the solution of any unknown number seems to become as straight as the intestines.

When students understand why such calculations are necessary, they will no longer be so bitter and difficult to understand.

Of course, there is also the matter of discussing the remaining two topics with Li Chong, although this is a bit against the rules.

But Li Chong didn't hide it either.

And when the other party left, the other party seemed to be fascinated.

terrible!

Is this something humans can do?

At that moment, when he left Li Chongzhai, the other party had only such thoughts.

It involves functions, coordinate systems, binomial expansions with fractional degrees, of course calculus, and the area calculation of general graphics.

When he returned to the Guozijian, the title of that man was a math genius, and it has been spread in the Guozijian ever since.

Correct!
It's not that he is inferior to others, but that the other party is not human at all.

Whether it is the Guozi Jijiu, or other doctors, teaching assistants, etc., the Guozijian is also very surprised.

After all, their Ph.D. in arithmetic was born during the reign of Emperor Wu of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and it can be said that he has been studying arithmetic all his life, no matter when he is sleeping or eating. However, to be evaluated in this way by him, then how terrifying is Li Zhong.

I'm afraid there are three heads and six arms?

Chest can crush boulders?

And after being depressed for a day, Wang Xiaotong also figured out that such a talent should be recommended to His Majesty to come to the Imperial College and become a doctor of mathematics together.

soon……

Li Er then received Wang Xiaotong's memorandum, in which Li Chong was greatly praised, and even Li Er was a little skeptical that this was the Li Chong he knew.

The point is, in addition to ability, Wang Xiaotong also mentioned a lot of Li Chong's good qualities, such as teaching people generously and having the demeanor of a celebrity.

Wang Xiaotong has studied mathematics for decades, and this is the first time he admits that he is not as good as others.

In the past, he was someone who even Liu Hui, Zu Chongzhi, and Zu Tie dared to complain.

Li Er also said, I know.

But if you want to become a Ph.D. in mathematics together, you probably won't go with Li Zhong's bad appearance, and if you go, you will definitely not teach seriously.

at last……

A month has passed.

The moment that countless people have been waiting for to announce the answer has come.

Li Er didn't join in the fun, mainly because it wasn't suitable.

But Li Chengqian didn't have such scruples.

then……

Under the coordination of many parties, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also presided over this academic exchange meeting, which took place at the Imperial College.

It can only be said... this exchange meeting was also very successful, because in the end...

When the results came out, almost everyone couldn't help shouting a curse.

It can be seen how successful this exchange meeting was.

It is not an exaggeration to say that Li Chong is a genius for his unconventional method.

It’s just that the students of the Guozijian have suffered, because Li Zhong has done this, and it will be impossible to learn arithmetic in the future.

even……

Future textbooks may have to be rewritten.

of course!

This is a later story.

Since then, almost all officials and nobles in Chang'an City of the Tang Dynasty have known Li Chong from the heirs of officials of the second and third ranks to the seventh and eighth ranks.

In fact, they knew each other before, but they didn't know each other deeply enough. Now, they seem to finally understand why His Majesty asked a man who was only twenty years old to teach the prince.

Because this person is really a bit perverted.

And...if he is so good at arithmetic, then what about the others.

After Li Chengqian returned to the palace, he spontaneously advertised to Li Chong how powerful he was.

Hearing this, Empress Changsun couldn't help becoming curious.

Of course, Li Lizhi was very depressed.

That's why I learned arithmetic myself.

Now, she seemed to understand why.

It's all Li Chong!
