v10 Chapter 1013: Proof for mathematics (1/2)
Amidst the warm applause, a young man stood up.
Qin Luo paused, turned to look at the young man and smiled: ”Please speak.”
”I am a professor in the Department of Mathematics at Rhein University, David, I have a question for Professor Qin.” The young man said: ”Take me as an example. I am a professor in the Department of Mathematics. Most of the problems I study are obscure mathematical problems. How can they not be understood by ordinary people, even some masters, some doctors do not understand.”
”How do they apply to society.”
As soon as these words came out of the entire auditorium, more than half of his eyes fell on Qin Luo.
Yes, how does mathematics apply to society!
This is not only David's problem, but also their concern.
Although Qin Luo pointed out a brand new path for them, this path was blocked by a big rock.
That is the obscurity of mathematics! Another point is that almost any academic achievement today has no direct relationship with mathematics.
Mathematics is just a tool.
How to use it?
Hearing David's words, Qin Luo smiled slightly and said: ”Before answering this question, I want to ask you a question first.”
”Professor please say.”
”Do you know Rockets?” Qin Luo asked.
”Of course.” Everyone nodded: ”But what does that have to do with mathematics?”
”Everyone knows that it is the result of physics research.”
Yes, the rocket uses more physics and has nothing to do with mathematics.
”Yes, it is indeed the result of physics research, but have you ever thought about whether physics can have the current development without mathematics as a basis? Data calculation and orbit calibration, which one does not require the intervention of mathematics?” Qin Luo's eyes swept over everyone, and he said loudly: ”Mathematics is the foundation of natural sciences. Without the emergence of mathematics, the world would not be as prosperous as it is now!”
”Mathematics is the father of science. Without the accumulation of mathematics, no other science will be born!”
