Chapter 741: Mathematics Is Not Good

Of course, having said so much, whether it is an independent site or a subway line, they are still under planning.

Especially the subway.

If it is built too far away, it will lose the meaning of the initial planning, and if it is too close, it may affect the operation of some highly precise experimental devices.

Therefore, a technical route different from the normal track must be adopted, and even a special shielding layer must be considered.

Even if the approval opinion for the construction is given, it is necessary to communicate in detail with the municipal transportation unit.

In short, it is difficult to completely solve it in the next one or two years.

So during this period, Chang Haonan still has to pull up his own laboratory on the main campus of Beijing Aviation University.

After the guests and hosts were happy, Chang Haonan sent the big guys to the car separately.

But Tang Lintian stayed.

After all, the school-enterprise joint laboratory involves hundreds of millions of funds and the development of more than a dozen students and teachers. It is definitely not a matter of two people 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 by the top leaders of both sides.

"By the way, Professor Chang."

Tang Lintian followed Chang Haonan into the office, but did not sit down immediately. Instead, he walked to the cabinet by the wall and looked around:

"In fact, I have been wondering for the past two years whether our talent training is somewhat out of touch with social needs?"

In fact, Chang Haonan did not know much about talent training, but at this time he could not just throw up his hands and say let's change the topic. Besides, he was about to become a doctoral supervisor, which was different from his previous life when he was teaching apprentices in the research institute, so he continued the other party's topic:

"What do you mean?"

"Its Actually, I didn’t feel it before, but after you and Professor Liu opened that course in the past two years, the gap has become obvious. ”

Tang Lintian didn’t find the tea he wanted for a long time, so he turned around and sat back on the sofa next to him to drink boiled water:

“The first batch of master’s students who took that course finished their second year of graduate school this summer and just started internships. From the feedback, it can be clearly felt that the content in this area is very valuable and can be directly used in actual work in many cases.”

“I even heard that some students would write their grades in this course in their resumes as a highlight for finding internships… ”

“Wait a minute, wait a minute…”

Chang Haonan listened to the other party getting more and more off-topic and quickly interrupted:

“First of all, that course was taught by Teacher Fang. I just said a few words during his first class two years ago…”

“Hey… don’t worry about these details.”

Tang Lintian waved his hand:

“You wrote the textbooks for the theoretical class and developed the calculation tools for the practical class. You still say you have never taught students?”

“In your case, even if you have never taught students directly, you can at least be considered half a teacher, not to mention that you have been on the podium once. From my experience, , when students graduate a few years later, they may not remember the name of the teacher who taught them, but as long as they take out the textbook, the editor's name is always written on it. "

Seeing that Chang Haonan no longer refuted, Tang Lintian paused for a moment and returned to the original topic:

"I just wanted to say that inspired by this course, I was thinking, can we consider opening more such practical courses, and on the other hand, can we consider letting students start to get in touch with actual research and development or engineering projects as early as possible, for example, in the second or third year of undergraduate studies?"

This time, Chang Haonan finally understood.

In terms of teaching numerical calculation methods, Beijing Aviation University is undoubtedly at the forefront of universities in the country and even the world.

And this leading position is undoubtedly one of the important reasons why Beijing Aviation University can become an initial member of the "985 Project".

After tasting this sweetness, Tang Lintian will naturally think about going further.

However, as a reborn person, Chang Haonan, even if he does not understand education, knows that this kind of thing cannot be replicated:

"Principal Tang, the focus of education is stability and continuity. The effect of that course in the past two years has been very good because when the textbook was compiled, the content in it reached, or I can say with certainty that it far exceeded the forefront of the times."

"But as numerical calculation is taken seriously by more and more researchers, its development speed will be much faster than in the past. Let's not talk about anything else. For example, the new version of TORCH Multiphysics that I plan to launch next is very different from the trial version in that textbook."

"In the future, we may upgrade the software every six months to a year, but it is impossible to update the textbook every six months to a year. Therefore, the key is to lay a solid foundation. The knowledge learned during 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 and can always be used."

At this point, Tang Lintian already had an enlightened expression on his face.

Just when he thought Chang Haonan would propose some earth-shaking plan, the latter suddenly changed the subject and suddenly revealed his true intentions:

"Let's talk about numerical calculation. In my opinion, this thing has never changed."

"So, if you really want our students to adapt to the times faster, then add a few more basic mathematics courses in the first and second years of college, especially mathematical analysis and linear algebra. As the foundation of the foundation, it is even more important to strictly grasp 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 be increased!"

"Ahem——"

As soon as these words came out, not to mention the future students, even Tang Lintian, the principal, almost choked and a lot of water in the cup spilled out.

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, mathematics will not be able to do it."

From elementary school to graduate students, mathematics is definitely the most headache subject for most students.

"You are not leaving any way for your juniors..."

Tang Lintian wiped the sweat from his forehead. He had already thought that if he really did this, he, the principal, would be scolded to death.

Moreover, the failure rate in the short term will probably soar, which is not good for the school. .

However, in the long run, it can indeed help improve students' abilities.

"I can't have the final say on the issue of undergraduate training. I still have to go back and discuss before making a decision."

Tang Lintian felt that he had to give himself a break first.

This is his first year as the principal. If he had to do such a tough job right away, it would be very stressful.

After all, strict math teaching is not only a test for students, but also a test for 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 it was his miraculous performance that gave Tang Lintian some unrealistic thoughts, but he couldn't say that he was cheating, so he had to choose a more roundabout route:

"This matter is the same as what I said just now."

"Whether undergraduates enter the laboratory or participate in the project, they must first ensure that they have sufficient ability foundation and can quickly get involved after being exposed to the project. If they just simply help out and do some repetitive work with little nutrition, then I think it is better to use this time to arrange a few more math classes."

Tang Lintian put on the mask of pain again.

"How about this, President Tang."

After a moment of silence, Chang Haonan gave a "compromise" condition:

"Torch Group can provide some opportunities for undergraduates of Jinghang to participate in non-confidential projects, but before that, they must pass our group's ability assessment, how about it?"
