Chapter 170 Introductory Calculus



Wednesday, September 11th, cloudy.

There are quite a lot of classes today, four in total, two in the morning and two in the afternoon.

But this is only for freshmen. I heard that there will be fewer classes in the sophomore year.

The two classes in the morning are macroeconomics and calculus, and the two classes in the afternoon are marketing and college students' mental health.

All other classes were held in the Zhulin Building. The last class, College Students' Mental Health, was a large class attended by three Information Management classes in the Datang Comprehensive Building. Fortunately, the Datang Comprehensive Building was not far away, and was in the old district, otherwise we would have to rush out as soon as the get out of class was over.

In the morning, Xiaoqi got up as usual to run, practice calligraphy, and memorize Japanese words. She felt that she had gained a lot from going to the English corner last night. It seemed that she had become a little bolder. With a start, she felt that she would be able to speak easily next time she went.

She was also a little surprised at her English level. She had finished studying all four volumes of New Concept English, and had been doing the CET-4 papers step by step. But now speaking English seemed to have no difficulty. If given a chance, she felt she would have no problem communicating.

Their information management major's management principles textbook is bilingual, and like academic English, it is a little difficult, which is just right for Xiaoqi's current study. There are also many books in the library, and he can borrow some original English books to read and consolidate his knowledge.

Xiaoqi thought about it last night and felt that he still didn't have enough time. He planned to arrange a part-time job, at most twice a week. It was too much and a waste of time.

She prefers to regard part-time work as a process of physical and mental relaxation.

As soon as I sat down in class this morning, Chen Hanhe, the guy sitting in front of me, asked me curiously, "Study Committee member, why didn't you come to help yesterday afternoon? I heard you were working part-time yesterday."

Xiaoqi was thinking about part-time job when he was asked about it out of the blue.

She didn't feel anything, but Mi Er exploded first: "What they do is none of your business. How can you, a boy, like to pry into other people's gossip? It really brings shame to us Qinjiang people."

Among students, it is probably generally felt that working part-time to pay for one's studies is shameful. Just like applying for student loans, there is an indescribable feeling that one is inferior, especially in a school like Enhua.

Chen Hanhe felt a little embarrassed after being interrupted by Mi'er, and whispered, "I'm just curious, nothing else. Yesterday, a few of us went with the labor committee member Chu Yu to give flowers to the teacher. We asked why the study committee member didn't come, and she said Xiao Qi had to go to work and didn't have time. But Chu Yu didn't mean it. She just speaks her mind and let it slip. Don't blame her."

Xiao Qi didn't think much of it at first. She had money, so she didn't need to work. It didn't matter if people found out. She was in a very good mood about this. But before she said anything, the boy in front of her acted like he was defending Chu Yu, afraid that they would misunderstand and wrongly accuse Chu Yu... It was simply...

It felt like a mouthful of shit was suddenly stuffed into my mouth.

Xiao Qi had asked about the flower delivery yesterday, since she was also a class committee member, so she asked if she wanted to help. Chu Yu said no without hesitation, as it was very close, so they delivered it anyway. Xiao Qi saw that Lin Dongqing and Su Li from her dormitory were both in the dormitory and didn't go either, so she didn't go either.

Xiaoqi felt that this was a very small matter, not even worth mentioning, and there was no need to bring it up.

I didn't expect that such a small matter could be spread in two ways.

Just like a kindergarten kid...

But at the moment, it is obviously unreasonable to confront Chu Yu because of such a small matter. There seemed to be no one else around when Chu Yu was speaking. Even if there was someone, Chu Yu could deny it. Moreover, she just wanted to publicize the fact that she went to work. Xiao Qi understood after thinking about it. Although she didn't care about being publicized, she and Wei Cheng went to the horse farm to work, and Li Wei Jin saw it that day. It was not a secret.

I just think this matter is disgusting. It's not a big deal, but it's disgusting. It turns out that there is a reason why I didn't like Chu Yu at first sight. Our auras are not compatible. I should try to have less contact with him in the future.

"I saw her holding a lot of flowers yesterday and asked her if she wanted to go with me to give them. She said that you all had already arranged everyone and there was no need." Xiao Qi explained coldly and ignored the student in front of him.

Chen Hanhe felt a little embarrassed. When he saw Su Xiaoqi open the textbook, he turned back embarrassedly.

He had no ill intentions and was just joking and wanted to chat, but classmate Su Xiaoqi seemed really aloof. Although Chen Mier's tone was fierce, like a firecracker about to go off, it was not scary or majestic. But when Su Xiaoqi had a stern face, Chen Hanhe felt that she was more fierce than the teacher.

He felt a little strange. He thought that someone like Su Xiaoqi would definitely not bother to lie, but Chu Yu would not lie either, and there was no need to do so. Maybe something went wrong.

The macroeconomics teacher came in. He was a rather serious young man wearing glasses. He was neither fat nor thin and did not look very old. He introduced himself and said his surname was Shao.

Then he started to lecture. The courseware prepared by Teacher Shao was quite nice. It included additional cases, quotations from classics, pictures and stories in accordance with the content of the text. However, he himself seemed a little nervous while delivering the lecture, and even stuttered a bit.

Xiaoqi felt that this teacher was a novice, a bit like the first time he worked as a tutor.

But it was okay back then, because I only had one student. Now there are more than seventy people in the class.

It was obvious that the teacher wanted to interact with everyone and even asked questions.

But no student raised his hand to answer.

There was a slight silence for a moment.

"No one is taking the initiative, so I'll just call the roll." Teacher Shao pushed his glasses, took out the roll call book and said, "Study Committee Member."

Xiao Qi: ...

Are the words "Study Committee Member" on the roll call book? It would be better to just call them directly.

Seeing that the person standing up was a pretty little girl, Teacher Shao pushed his glasses again.

"Could you explain what I just said about GDP?"

The answer to this question is in the book.

Just read it as it says.

Super simple.

But Xiaoqi felt that if she just asked this, it was too stupid. What was the difference between a college student's question and that of an elementary school student? Fortunately, she prepared for the lesson every day. Now that the Internet is so developed, she can look up information online if she doesn't understand something. She prepared for the lesson very seriously and in detail.

Gross Domestic Product (GDP) refers to the value of all final goods and services produced by a country or region's economy over a given period (a quarter or a year). It is often considered the best indicator of a country's economic health. It reflects not only a country's economic performance but also its national strength and wealth.

She first explained the concept of GDP, which was the original words from the book. After she previewed it, she was able to basically remember the explanations of important terms. This was also due to the fact that after she had the memory buff, she had been consciously strengthening her memory training. She found that at her age, the more she memorized and recited, the less it would affect her memory. On the contrary, it would develop her memory and make her memory better. Now it is much easier to memorize 30 Japanese words a day than before.

Then he continued:

"A detailed analysis of the concept of GDP can be summarized into five points. First, GDP is measured using final goods and services, that is, the final sales value of final goods and services during a period. Generally, products can be divided into intermediate goods and final goods based on their actual use...blah blah blah...

Second: GDP is a concept of market value...blah blah...

Third, GDP generally refers only to the value resulting from market activities...blah blah...

Fourth, GDP is the value of final products produced during the calculation period, and is therefore a flow rather than a stock.

Fifth, GDP is not actual circulating wealth; it simply uses a standard monetary average to express the amount of wealth. However, whether what is produced can be fully converted into circulating wealth is uncertain.

After he finished speaking, the whole class was almost as quiet as a chicken.

Shao Xianwei tilted his glasses again, and seeing that the student had nothing to say, he quickly said, "Very good, please take a seat, classmate. Your answer is very correct and complete. Other students should learn from the study committee. Ahem, let's continue."

Shao Xianwei decided he shouldn't ask this student to answer questions next time. He answered all the questions in the following slides. Is this Enhua University? In that moment, he felt like he was back in his student days, feeling the pain and trembling of being dominated by a classmate who was a top student. He had just started explaining the terms, preparing to answer a simple, easy question, but the top student not only explained the basic concepts without even looking at the textbook, but also went on to explain the in-depth content. What else was there to say?

When Chen Mier saw Xiaoqi sitting down, she looked excited and said, "My deskmate is the best." She secretly gave Xiaoqi a thumbs up.

Chu Yu, a classmate over there, felt even more depressed when she saw Su Xiaoqi like this. Yesterday, she went to give flowers, chatted with this teacher for a few words, and even added WeChat. She didn't expect that the teacher didn't remember her and didn't ask her to answer questions. It was Su Xiaoqi again, the attention-seeking and scheming girl. The teacher obviously only wanted to explain the terms, but she said a lot of things to show off her knowledge.

Roommate Wei Cheng admired Xiao Qi even more in her heart. Xiao Qi had to do so many things and learn so much every day, but she was more serious and comprehensive in her preparation than herself. She must work harder.

The deputy study committee member Mao Wenshu sat in the middle of the classroom, also tilting his glasses. He was also a student who studied hard and usually had good grades. Unfortunately, he had heatstroke during the college entrance examination and did not do well in the exam, so he was transferred to Enhua University. He originally wanted to repeat the year, but he had been weak since he was a child, and seemed to be unlucky and had bad luck in exams. Once he took an exam, he would not perform as well as usual. His parents were worried that he would not do as well as Enhua if he repeated the year, so he came to Enhua.

He was a little uncomfortable with Enhua. He was not used to all of this and he looked down on other students in his heart. He felt that they were all poor students and had different living habits. His roommates basically didn't study. They would play games, play basketball, and chat with girls in the class when they got home.

He looked down on everyone and was chosen as the deputy study committee member. In fact, he was a little dissatisfied because he specially checked his college entrance examination results. He was the first in the class. Maybe it was because the girls were good-looking and had an advantage, so he became the deputy study committee member. However, when the teacher called someone a study committee member, everyone assumed it was the first.

He was a little depressed when he saw her stand up just now, but when he heard Su Xiaoqi finished answering the question, his depression became even more depressed, and he felt ashamed, because even if he was asked to answer, it would be impossible for him to answer so completely... The concepts at the end were not in the book.

Li Weijin, who was sitting at the back of the class, lying on the table without moving much, looked through the backs of his classmates and saw the man's back, which was particularly straight after he sat down, and the pen that was spinning around again.

Yesterday afternoon, he stupidly went to deliver flowers. He thought Su Xiaoqi would also go, but she didn't show up. Then he heard the girl say that Su Xiaoqi went to work, and he was very depressed.

The others all had strange expressions on their faces, but he was quite dismissive. What was the big deal about working? He would still have to work for his father's company in the future, so it would be the same. Do you think you don't have to work when you enter society?

Now he feels different, Su Xiaoqi is different.

Xiao Qi sat down. A familiar mechanical sound rang in his ears like a bell, ding-dong-donging several times before he began to speak: "The host studied hard and answered the teacher's questions perfectly. He has won 12 sincere admiration from his classmates. As a reward, the host has passed the entry-level calculus exam."

Xiaoqi didn't expect that she would gain so much from preparing for the text and answering the teacher's questions carefully. When she was preparing for calculus yesterday, she felt it was quite difficult, even harder than the math she learned in high school. She studied liberal arts in high school, and her mind was a mess when she saw calculus. She barely calmed down and studied hard. It turned out that studying hard would be rewarded. Xiaoqi felt that she needed to work harder, be more serious, and not ignore any learning opportunities.
