Xueba's Sea of ​​Stars

Chapter 161 Nonlinear Thinking
While eating in the student cafeteria in the evening, Wang Qi looked nervous because Wu Bin, who was sitting opposite him, was correcting his paper.

"Hmm...the function section has improved." Wu Bin nodded and returned the paper to Wang Qi.

Wang Qi took the paper with a sigh of relief after listening, but his expression was still not very good-looking.

Wu Bin: "Don't be sad. If you are slow in doing the questions, just continue to do more questions. When you get to the college entrance examination, if you really can't improve, use the method I told you. Let go of the big questions and concentrate on the small questions. With your current ability, level, as long as it can perform normally, it’s no problem to hit the second level.”

"Yeah...I know." Wang Qi nodded vigorously and began to eat.

"Hey, why hasn't Gu Fan come down yet?" Xu Hao asked Wu Bin after finishing his last sip of soup.

Wu Bin: "Probably eat bread in the classroom to make papers."

"Enough hard work... Sigh, I feel that I have reached a bottleneck, especially in chemistry, and I can't move my score."

"Me too..." Wang Qi responded immediately.

"It's a bit regretful that I didn't study hard until so late." Xu Hao sighed depressingly.

Wu Bin glanced at the two, and said earnestly: "Is the college entrance examination important? Of course it is, but what is more important is to remember your current state. You study hard not just for the college entrance examination, but also to learn these high school knowledge. Make them your tools so that you can learn what you learned at university and really apply it.”

Xu Hao nodded after listening: "Well... what you said makes sense."

Wu Bin: "So as long as you can really maintain the current momentum, then no matter which university you go to, you can learn something really useful, which will become the foundation of your life in the future. Okay, eat and eat, and go back to the classroom after eating to continue doing papers .”

After eating, Wu Bin returned to class. Before Wu Bin's butt was still hot, he was called out by the head teacher Chen Fang, saying that the principal was looking for him.

Arriving at the principal's office with ease, Wu Bin unexpectedly discovered that the reporter Wu Jinghan who had interviewed him before was also here.

"Hi, classmate Wu Bin." Wu Jinghan greeted Wu Bin first.

"Hello, Reporter Wu." Wu Bin greeted politely.

Seeing the two of them greeting each other, the principal on the side smiled and said to Wu Bin: "Reporter Wu came to see you specially this time. I will just convey it to you. Let's talk."

"Principal Wang, please." After thanking you, Wu Jinghan and Wu Bin sat on the sofa together, and then asked, "Student Wu Bin, last time your report attracted widespread attention, and there are many derivative reports. Thank you."

Wu Bin: "It is reporter Wu who writes well to attract attention, why thank me."

"How can I say that, without you as the protagonist, where would I write such a report? So I still have to thank you."

Then, after several rounds of wrangling between you and me, Wu Jinghan finally revealed the main purpose of this time.

"I've been paying attention to you since that interview with you. Recently, I heard that...you got very shocking results in the mock test?"

"It's okay." Wu Bin replied casually.

After hearing this, Wu Jinghan covered his mouth and smiled, and said, "Are you sure that you have to score 640 points or more in the three mock exams? I'm afraid that if I write it directly in the report, many candidates will hate you." My teeth are itching.”

That's right, after the three mock exams, Wu Jinghan, who had learned from President Wang that Wu Bin would take the college entrance examination, immediately became curious about the results of the national champion of the physics competition, and wanted to know if someone who could learn the competition well could do it. To take into account the college entrance examination courses.

However, after seeing Wu Bin's mock test scores, Wu Jinghan was completely dumbfounded.

The total scores of the three mock tests were all above 640, and the highest one even reached 645!

You must know that the total score of the Shanghai model test is only 660!

Although most people say that the model test scores are not accurate, after all, on the day of the college entrance examination, the mentality factor is too much, but it is still very shocking to be able to get such close to full marks in the model test three times in a row.

After Wu Jinghan heard the news, he immediately went to the door to find out Wu Bin's grades in various subjects, and found that his math, science and English scores were perfect every time, and he was only accepted in subjects such as Chinese, which had a lot of subjective questions. Points deducted.

After hearing the news, Wu Jinghan came directly to Xiazhong and wanted to have a chat with this classmate. If you know the content of this chat, you may be able to join the report of the number one student in the Daohuhai college entrance examination!
Amid Wu Jinghan's exclamation of "My God!" and another "Is this okay?", Wu Bin calmly answered every question Wu Jinghan asked.

In fact, Wu Bin was able to get such an exaggerated result because in the incident in the second half of the third year of high school, the system seemed to give him a particularly high score for his own test papers and self-study. .

It took him only two months to jump to level 21, and the talent points obtained after level 15 had the effect of directly lighting up two floors on the talent page.

Let Wu Bin fill up all the talents of mathematics and chemistry in one breath.

Moreover, the system also gave Wu Bin a very powerful reward because he had filled all three pages of Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry talents.

That is nonlinear thinking +5!

To understand nonlinear thinking, you must first understand what linear thinking means.

The meaning of linear thinking is simple, but it is also very simple, that is, the literal meaning.

A linear, uniform, unchanging, single, one-dimensional way of thinking.

Give the simplest example.

When some people play backgammon, their minds only think about winning the game if their stones connect to five pieces, and they don't even think about the first move.

Such a result is obvious. If he only considers connecting his pieces into five pieces when playing second, of course the person who plays first will win in the end.

Others include, for example, "I graduated from 985, so I will definitely be able to enter the world's top 500 companies."

"You are from the Northeast, then you must be good at drinking bars, duang, duang, the kind where duang pours liquor."

Including the words in the proverb: No pain, no gain, etc., etc...

These are actually linear thinking, and their unified feature is that they cannot withstand any scrutiny at all, and they all try to use the simplest linear thinking to interpret the nonlinear real world.

In order to make more effective use of this kind of thinking bonus, Wu Bin also summed up the difference between linear thinking and nonlinear thinking.

First of all, from a literal understanding, [linear relationship] means that the relationship between two elements is clear and fixed. It can be expressed by a straight line, and there is a fixed ratio between them.

And [nonlinear relationship] means that the relationship between two elements is constantly changing, which cannot be described by formulas, but can only be expressed by curves, surfaces or irregular lines.

Here we can use an example from a book called "Thinking Technology" that Wu Bin has read to illustrate.

Assuming that an apple falls from a tree in a breeze, applying the law of universal gravitation, we can calculate the speed and direction of the apple falling. The apple and gravity here are a [linear relationship]

But also in a gentle breeze, a leaf falls from a tree. Applying the law of gravity cannot determine the speed and direction of the leaf falling, because the speed and direction of the leaf falling will be affected by the size of the wind, the shape of the branch, Influenced by factors such as the shape of leaves, the leaves and gravity here are a kind of [non-linear relationship]

After understanding these two kinds of thinking, Wu Bin naturally wanted to compare them.

For example, words such as "talking on paper" or "nerd" refer to those who only copy book knowledge to solve problems, and do not make adjustments according to the actual situation. This is a typical [linear thinking]

And [Nonlinear Thinking] is a kind of systematic thinking, which can see that the various elements in the system are connected to each other, and the thinking path is similar to a non-planar and three-dimensional network structure.

It is this that allows Wu Bin to weave a tighter "knowledge network" so that knowledge points cannot easily pass through it.

Of course, this does not mean that [Linear Thinking] is not good at all. In fact, it also has its strengths, that is, people with strong linear thinking can easily focus on one thing, unlike people with advanced nonlinear thinking. That's always "rain and dew evenly"

So how to balance the two kinds of thinking is also very important.

After thoroughly analyzing the two kinds of thinking, Wu Bin discovered one thing, that is, the vast majority of people are more accustomed to thinking in linear thinking.

As for the reason, it is that humans prefer to do things regularly and feel more secure.

Yes, security.

Human beings' need for a sense of security is completely engraved in their bones, to be precise, it should be engraved in their genes. Everyone likes a straight line that is certain, rather than an uncertain curve.

As for doing things regularly, it is even simpler.

This can be confirmed in various fields, including the field of science. In the natural environment, it is almost impossible to find a triangle, square or even a geometric figure. However, human beings have constructed geometric figures for the sake of order. , and apply him in mathematics and art design.

This is the best proof that the brain prefers simple structures. It will seek order from the complex world and gain aesthetic pleasure between rules and irregularities.

And our pursuit of order inspires the creation of art, and at the same time affects our understanding of the nonlinear world.

Anyway, the conclusion is that don’t play around with me, a square is a square, a circle is a circle, how wonderful!
……

With the improvement of non-linear thinking, Wu Bin's ability to accept knowledge and cross-apply them has been greatly improved, and he will no longer be bound by rules and regulations.

And he also tried to use this kind of thinking to develop a graphic teaching method.

Because he realized that words are actually a kind of linear thinking. After all, language and words can only be arranged sentence by sentence in a logical order, which is a linear relationship.

Graphics, on the other hand, are closer to non-linear thinking, which can gather all elements and connections on the same plane at one go, breaking through the linear track of time and logic, and allowing you to see the overall situation at a glance.

Just like using words to explain the power law, it is not as easy to understand as a power law distribution chart. As for how to make the coverage of this graphic teaching method larger, that is what Wu Bin is still researching.
