Chapter 26: No matter how hard you push yourself, you can't solve math problems
Gu Zhengguo never thought that a little girl would say that to herself.
Moreover, there was no sarcasm or ridicule in her eyes, only pure curiosity.
When being popular becomes a "habit", Gu Zhengguo has never heard anyone ask himself this question.
Hang Jingshu continued to read with her head down. Time was very tight and she only gave herself two years.
If possible, it would be best to transfer to a middle school in the county to repeat the grade next year. If not, you should tell the teacher and do more papers.
In fact, it was no wonder that Hang Jingshu failed the college entrance examination in 1984. The math paper that year was extremely difficult.
The national average score for mathematics exams is only 26 points.
Until Hang Jingshu's death, no other test paper was more difficult than this one.
Many people lose their mind when they see the math test paper.
Hang Jingshu certainly could not escape this curse. Mathematics was her weak subject, and she ultimately failed the exam.
Starting over again in life, all the knowledge in his mind was only a vague impression. Hang Jingshu had to start from scratch, so he couldn't miss any subject.
Especially mathematics, which was a big setback.
In this life, my brother Hang Chenggang also went to Beijing to attend university smoothly. The people he met were all the proud students of this year. Last time, he even sent back the high school notes of the top student in the same dormitory.
You know, the books and notes of these top students are very popular. Since my brother can send them back, he must have a good relationship with them in the dormitory.
It was another afternoon. Hang Jingshu felt that he had mastered the basic knowledge, so he opened the 1984 college entrance examination mathematics test paper that he had copied with a pious attitude.
Just saw the first question.
…
Hang Jingshu closed the paper again with a pious attitude.
Something this difficult will never be available again, so don't let this undermine your self-confidence.
After all, this set of papers later became the template for algebra (Olympiad mathematics).
Laying a solid foundation is more important than anything else.
Let’s start by reading the notes of the top student.
Fortunately, the knowledge he learned in his previous life was solid enough, and the vague memories in Hang Jingshu's mind were gradually becoming concrete.
The textbooks from the 1980s are the most classic set in history, and are more detailed and comprehensive than all current versions.
I still remember my class teacher once said, "The textbooks are there. They teach you basic knowledge. You can learn it as long as you work hard. But for the part beyond the textbook basics, you need to have understanding."
When Yan Cheng'an and Gu Zhengguo walked into the Yan family courtyard, they saw this scene through the window.
Grandma Yan sat on the sofa, listening to opera and reading leisurely, while Hang Jingshu held his chin with his hands and looked worried.
"Grandma, are you sitting here listening to the opera?" As soon as Gu Zhengguo entered the room, he went to Grandma Yan's side to listen.
Hang Jingshu was stumped by a math problem in the textbook. Why did his answer not match that of the top student?
Is the formula wrong?
Or is it an algorithmic error?
"You guys came back early today," Grandma Yan turned down the volume of the radio, and the melodious tune became vague and unclear.
Hearing the commotion, Hang Jingshu stood up subconsciously, but various numbers were still circling in his mind, and he looked dizzy.
Seeing Hang Jingshu like this, Grandma Yan walked over and tapped Hang Jingshu's forehead. "I noticed that you looked sad all afternoon. What are you thinking about?"
Hang Jingshu picked up the math textbook painfully, "This guy can do anything when he is pushed to the limit, except math problems."
(The virus is raging recently, I just got out of the hospital and started to slowly make up for the word count!)
