In recent years, some teams in our country have won the math contest for the second time, and everyone's confidence seems to be growing. They think they are poor at math, and we are good at it. In fact, if you look at the countries that have won gold medals in history, many countries in Europe and America used to be among the best, but in recent years, or nearly 10, our country's achievements in this math competition have advanced by leaps and bounds, and there is a tendency to compete with others. Foreigners' math is not as bad as you think.
I believe everyone has heard that Einstein's math level is relatively poor and he failed in primary school. Is it true?/You don't say. It should be said to be true, but later Einstein also said that he had mastered calculus in elementary school. Calculus is advanced mathematics. According to China's education system, this thing will only be learned when he is in some majors in the university, but calculus is not considered as a very profound thing abroad, because the founder of calculus is abroad. This is Newton of England. When he was studying physical phenomena, he discovered the law of flow number.
You may be good at elementary mathematics. You seem to think that you are good at solving a quadratic equation system or doing fast calculations, but you are actually at the same level as foreign students. It's not that students in particularly good schools are not a little worse than those in high schools. People may have been exposed to it when they were young. We just learned it in college. Even if you are good at elementary mathematics and good at fast calculation, you are too fast. Do you think you can use these mathematics when you really do physics research? Advanced mathematics, linear algebraic probability theory, which is the most widely used mathematics, but only a few are tested in mathematics competitions. Although it involves thinking, it is not the subject.
