Mohist Tang

“What are the uses of Mathematics?”

Mo Teacher was a little nervous in his first class. Fortunately, except for Li Gaoming, they are all acquaintances. Mo Dun relaxed a lot.

“For the exam?” Chumo raised his hand aloft, and said a wise saying.

“Uh, uh!” Mo Dun was speechless.

“Settle the accounts!” Zu Mingjun proposed a practical use.

“Settling accounts is indeed a great use of mathematics.” Mo Dun nodded and said.

“However, the use of Mathematics does not stop there. After learning Mathematics, the generals can calculate the marching speed, the time to the battlefield, the food and grass needed, and even the various situations of the enemy. Clearly, how can such a general not win the battle.

For the relatives, they can calculate the countrys taxes and expenditures. They can also fight against corrupt officials and govern the country rationally by checking accounts. Common people can settle accounts and record Family expenses. Even street vendors have to self-taught Mathematics. Mathematics runs through everyone.”

“We are dealing with Mathematics all the time. Mathematics is very important. I like Mathematics more than anything. A Subject! Today I want to call you not just Mathematics, but the spirit of Mathematics.

In Mathematics, every number is fixed and no changes are allowed. One plus one equals two. , Will not be equal to three, will not be equal to any number, Mathematics is such a cold number, one glance, tell you the naked truth, you can not believe anyone or anything in the world, but please believe in Mathematics, anyone in this world They may deceive you, but Mathematics alone wont. After you learn Mathematics, you have the right to insight into the truth.”

Mo Duns words make everyone looking thoughtful, especially Li Gaoming, Bright light glittering in the eyes.

Even the three of Qin Huaiyu who were planning to make soy sauce straightened up and listened carefully.

“Mohist Family’s Mathematics is different from the Mathematics Ten Classics you usually learn! The basis of everything is these ten numbers, zero one two three four five six seven eight-nine, these ten numbers.”

Mo Dun picked up a charcoal pen made of charcoal and wrote these ten numbers on a wooden board.

Looking at the black and gray hand, Mo Dun secretly made up his mind to get the chalk out quickly. After all, the craft is very simple.

“We have all learned this!” Yuchi Baolin asked puzzledly.

“Really?” Mo Dun faintly smiled and said, “What about these ten numbers?”

Mo Dun wrote under the blackboard: “0123456789.”

“This is also a number? Isn’t it a ghost drawing talisman!” All of them suddenly crooked Arabic numbers, confused.

“Mo Dun, you don’t know how to learn witchcraft! What is written is ghost drawing symbols!” Qin Huaiyu said with a smile.

“These are numbers, but Indian Numbers?” Li Gaoming said suddenly.

Mo Dun took an unexpected look at Li Gaoming. He didn’t expect him to know that these numbers are indeed Indian Numbers, but they were later spread by Arab merchants to all parts of the world and they were honored as Arabic numbers.

“This is indeed Indian Numbers. Brother Gaoming is so experienced and knowledgeable. This is the essence of Mathematics that Mohist Family suffer untold hardship learned when he went to India!” Mo Dun looked at Mohist Family’s face without shame Deposit gold.

Mo Dun wrote a few sets of numbers on the blackboard in Chinese characters, and then wrote the meanings with numbers. All five of you here have a certain mathematical foundation and you can easily understand them.

Dont know, Arabic numerals have obvious advantages in large-scale calculations, and they are simple and easy to learn. Obvious at a glance.

“Is this too convenient?” Qin Huaiyu is very interested, if Mathematics is like this, he would have learned it.

“The ancestors of the Mohist Family are indeed admirable. I heard that a few years ago, a monk named Xuanzang made a great wish to go to India to ask for the truth. I did not expect that the ancestors of the Mohist Family had already asked for it from India. The truth of Mathematics.” Zu Mingjun said joyfully in surprise.

“Uh, uh!”

Mo Dun is a bit blushing no matter how thick his face is, he stubbornly acquiesced, and said sorry to Xuanzang in his heart, for sharing your westward journey The halo of learning.

Mo Dun simply taught five people addition and subtraction? Let the five people exclaim constantly, compared to the calculations on the arithmetic, it is simply too convenient.

Zu Mingjun is even more as if drunk and stupefied, fascinated by calculations.

“Today’s class ends here.” Mo Dun relieved, interrupted the five people’s reluctant practice, and ended today’s classwork.

A few people reluctantly put down the quill pen in their hands. They found that writing Indian Numbers with a quill pen is more concise and fast. They can’t write well with a brush, so they switched to quill pens. Expand once!

“Brother Mo is broad-minded and can give Mohist Family Mathematics secrets in his pocket, and I am grateful.” Li Gaoming admired sincerely.

Zu Mingjun also thanked him again and again. In contrast, Mohist Familys Mathematics is already much higher than his Zu Familys Mathematics. Just an Indian Numbers has made Zu Mingjun unable to compare. Heart.

“Don’t dare, don’t dare!” Mo Dun modestly said.

After all, the six are teenagers, without that many rules, and soon became one and had a great time.

Unconsciously, it was already time for dinner, and Mo Dun said Zu Mingjun and Li Gaoming had dinner. As for Qin Huaiyu, the three of them are villains who cannot be driven away.

“Then it would be disrespectful! I have long heard that Brother Mo’s invention’s steamed buns are extremely delicious, and the cuisine of Mohist Family must be unique.” Li Gaoming said heartily.

“Then you will have a good taste. Today, my uncle fish is here. He is a great fish. It is said that in the army, even Your Majesty has praised his cooking skills.” Mo Dun said.

“Oh! Then we have to taste it.” Li Gaoming said with a smile.

Since Li Gaoming has agreed to stay, Zu Mingjun is not humble and stayed.

“The fish is coming!” Master Yu brought the prepared fish to the table, a pickled fish, a braised fish, a steamed fish, plus a few side dishes, in front of everyone A bowl of fragrant rice, but three of them are huge, obviously reserved for the three of Qin Huaiyu.

“Several Young Masters, take it easy!”

After Master Yu left, Mo Dun pulled a back chair specially made for him by Old Zhang’s head and greeted a few of them to sit down , The table is still the unique round table of Mohist Village, regardless of primary and secondary positions.

“This table and chair are also unique!” Li Gaoming looked at the round table and leaned back against the chair. He found that the chair was able to support his waist and was very comfortable.

“Mohist Family has no rules, how can you be comfortable?” Mo Dun is very uncomfortable with Tang Dynasty’s habit of sitting on his knees and eating. He can’t help it outside. In Mohist Residence, he changed everything to The tables and chairs, anyway, he used Mohist Family as an excuse, and it didn’t look weird.

As the host, Mo Dun was the first to move his chopsticks, picking up a piece of fish and starting to move.
