Chapter 831 Harming Others without Benefiting Oneself
“The way to solve the problem, as well as the formulas involved and the chapters of the book were all written in detail,” said Li Guangyi, “but not for some questions? Why is it so?”
“Is it that you don’t have time to write it, or…” Li Guangyi paused for a moment and said, “or you don’t know either?”
Tan Mo raised his eyebrows. “What you said is very interesting. If I don’t know, then where did the answers come from? Are you saying I found the answers by flipping through the information or searching on the internet?
“I have planned to explain during the cla.s.s,” Tan Mo said indifferently. “It’s time for cla.s.s. Go back and sit down first. Once the bell rings, I’ll tell you why.”
Li Guangyi lifted his eyelids slightly and observed Tan Mo’s expression as if he wanted to see a guilty expression on her face.
“Okay,” Li Guangyi nodded, “I hope Senior Sister Tan Mo can give me an answer after cla.s.s. If you forget, I will remind you. I only hope that when the time comes, you won’t say that you don’t want to take up Professor Yang’s cla.s.s time.”
“It won’t, don’t worry,” this wasn’t said by Tan Mo.
It was a.s.sociate Professor Yang’s voice.
Li Guangyi turned his head in surprise and saw a.s.sociate Professor Yang walking over. With a serious expression, he said, “On the way here, Tan Mo has told me that she will take up a little of the cla.s.s time and help you solve the difficult questions first.”
Besides this, a.s.sociate Professor Yang didn’t say anything else.
He was dissatisfied that these students were insensible. He would tell Princ.i.p.al Mu about it later.
It wouldn’t be of much use if he only told this one student.
Li Guangyi was surprised that Tan Mo had actually already talked to a.s.sociate Professor Yang about this. She wasn’t stalling for time.
It was fine. He would just see what Tan Mo was going to say during the cla.s.s.
However, in front of a.s.sociate Professor Yang, he somehow felt that a.s.sociate Professor Yang was a little too serious.
It seemed like he was dissatisfied with them?
Li Guangyi’s scalp went numb. He felt a little pressured He returned to his seat somehow dejectedly.
Just as he sat down, the bell rang. a.s.sociate Professor Yang began by saying, “As many students had emailed Tan Mo the night before yesterday asking her some difficult questions, Tan Mo needed to explain some of the questions in cla.s.s. So, let Tan Mo explain first, then only we’ll start the cla.s.s. The content that Tan Mo is talking about is also the content of the cla.s.s. So it doesn’t take up the cla.s.s time. I hope everyone understands.”
After saying that, a.s.sociate Professor Yang gave way to Tan Mo. Tan Mo carried the questions that she had printed out and walked to the podium. She then wrote the questions on the blackboard.
“The night before yesterday, I received a lot of emails. They were the questions that everyone sent me,” said Tan Mo. “I divided the questions into two categories. For the first category, I gave a very detailed idea of how to solve the questions because the questions were a little beyond the syllabus. As you are all people who can extend your knowledge beyond the syllabus, this should be normal for you. However, for the other category, I only gave the steps and answers and didn’t give the idea of solving the questions. It’s because the questions were directly searched based on the difficulty, which is something that you won’t come into contact with for now. Even if I write down the ideas for solving the questions, it’s just a waste of each other’s time.
“Just like this question,” said Tan Mo, “what we need to use is Newton Freibniz formula.” “As ‘f’ satisfies the Lipschitz condition, it’s an absolute function for any x 1, X2E[ a, b ], x1.
“From Newton Freibniz formula…” Tan Mo said as she wrote on the blackboard.
“The ‘f’ is a bounded variation function, so it’s a bounded function…”
“By Lebesgue’s bounded convergence theorem…”
Tan Mo wrote a bunch of words on the blackboard. “Do you all understand what I’m writing on the blackboard now?”
Tan Mo saw the blank expressions on the students’ faces.
Tan Mo smiled. “Everyone has only taken one cla.s.s in total. Even if you’ve learned all the content for this semester and you continue to learn on your own, you won’t be able to extend it to this part.”
“So, there’s no need to spend time looking for difficult questions just to test me. Even if I write down the answers for you, you won’t understand them. It’s a waste of my time. Although you won’t understand, you will still have to look at them a few times. It’s also a waste of your time,” Tan Mo said calmly. “Let’s save each other some trouble. If there’s anything that you really don’t know, you’re welcome to ask me. But I won’t answer such questions moving on.”
“But how would she know if the students really don’t understand? Maybe they’ve really self-taught to that extent?” someone below whispered.
Although Tan Mo’s hearing wasn’t as good as Wei Zhiqian’s, she could still hear the whispers.
Tan Mo smiled and said, “I still have this bit of judgment.”
“Moreover, if you guys can learn to this extent by yourself, even though you’re not a math genius, you can still be specially trained by the school in math,” Tan Mo raised her eyebrows. “If anyone gives me such a question again, I won’t answer it. I’ll directly recommend him to the school.”
Tan Mo smiled and said, “When the time comes, the school will conduct an a.s.sessment to see if he’s really that good. If he is, he should be able to enter our school’s math cla.s.s directly. If he isn’t, he won’t be able to enter. There’s no loss. At most, he will lose some face.”
Tan Mo wasn’t a saint, so she didn’t want to answer questions endlessly for these people.
As expected, a few people’s expressions changed. They originally thought that even if Tan Mo could see through them, they would still find some difficult questions to make things difficult for Tan Mo.
Even if she knew the way to solve the questions, they could still create some trouble for her and take up more of her time.
Creating trouble for her in such a way wasn’t beneficial to them, but as long as it caused trouble for Tan Mo, they would be happy.
However, now that they heard Tan Mo’s words, they had to carefully weigh their options.
Creating trouble for Tan Mo would not only harm others without benefiting themselves but also bring shame to themselves.
Moreover, based on what Tan Mo had said, she was indeed capable.
A few people who went to Director Yao’s office yesterday couldn’t help but think of the words of their senior brothers and sisters who were pursuing postgraduate studies. Those senior brothers and sisters who were studying for their PhD would also ask Tan Mo for advice when they encountered problems that they didn’t know how to solve.
So, was Tan Mo really that good at mathematics?
If this was the case, Tan Mo had just started her postgraduate studies and was studying mathematics.
What was there for her to learn? Let alone when the senior brothers and sisters who were studying PhD encountered problems that they didn’t know and they would ask for advice from Tan Mo.
Tan Mo had just started her postgraduate studies, it wasn’t difficult at all to solve their freshman problems. This made a lot of sense.
Tan Mo didn’t take up much time.
After explaining, she returned to her seat.
a.s.sociate Professor Yang continued to lecture.
However, because of Tan Mo’s words, many people were distracted in the cla.s.s.
When the cla.s.s ended, they realized that they didn’t hear anything from the cla.s.s at all.
