Xueba's Sea of ​​Stars

Chapter 298
"Recently, I registered an account on Zhihu. For some reason, there are quite a lot of people who follow me. In the next few days, I often receive private messages from some netizens."

“Many of them want me to recommend better textbooks or related books on physics.”

"So, I recommended "University Physics" edited by Professor Zhang Sanhui to netizens who are still high school students. In my opinion, this book is very simple and easy to understand, and it is very close to high school physics. It takes a lot of time."

"In addition, there is "Mechanics" edited by Mr. Shu Yousheng, which is also a very good introduction to mechanics. I read this book when I was competing in high school and benefited a lot."

"For those netizens who have already chosen a physics major, I recommend "Feynman Lectures on Physics" to them. I believe everyone present has heard of this book, and it can be called a classic of the century. There are a total of three volumes in the whole set, but it is almost impossible to get stuck in reading."

"But then something happened that puzzled me. Many of those who asked asked me a second question, which was where to download the electronic versions of these books."

"I was a little surprised at first after reading it, because these books are really easy to find in the Internet age where excellent resources are so public, whether in physical or electronic versions. For some reason, this reminds me of Mr. Wen's story."

"From my point of view, if there's a lack of good study material online for undergraduates to study, it's because education and people who care about education aren't doing a good job. If the material is available online and students aren't looking for it, That is the tragedy of the students."

"In addition, I have also recommended some relatively small physics literature. Because of their professional relationship, it is not easy to find them with a Baidu search, but if you pay enough attention, you can definitely find them after half an hour and an hour. turn up."

"However, some netizens think that his time is so precious, why waste an hour looking for it. This is why I feel emotional about today's speech."

"Knowledge is not only valuable, but also precious. If you are lazy to find it in such a convenient environment, then I can only say that it is probably because of different ways, so we should not seek each other."

Speaking of this, Wu Bin took a deep breath, changed his tone and continued: "The reason why I shared this is because I found that even in HKUST, many freshmen have experienced drastic changes from high school to university. This change is Everyone began to feel the importance of self-study and its helplessness."

"In high school, there will be teachers who grab you to study, wishing to instill all the knowledge of every subject into your brain, but the teachers in college teach very quickly, and at the same time, there will be no one who is a master of the world to come and help you .”

"Under such circumstances, many students who are used to knowing how to open their mouths start to let themselves go, and they don't ask actively. learned knowledge."

"From my own experience, studying in college is like panning for gold. To find gold, you need not only luck, but also the perseverance and perseverance to find it. No one will come to tell you where the gold is, so you can only find it yourself. Summarize while searching, and gradually understand how to find more gold."

"As the ancients said, after playing a thousand songs, you will know the sound, and after watching a thousand swords, you will know the weapon."

"Watching Qianjian requires time and cost. When you look at each sword, you have to complete an independent thought. This requires brain power. There are always people who want to skip the process of watching Qianjian and directly appreciate the top ten famous swords such as Xuanyuan and Longquan. , but those who do this can only observe the shape in the end, but cannot understand the essence."

"Cough...are you talking too much?"

Wu Bin believes that most people still don't like to listen to speeches for too long, because most of the time it feels smelly and long.

But the answer to Wu Bin's question was a burst of applause, mixed with a few words like "Senior said well." "Not much, but too little!"

"Thank you for your affirmation." Wu Bin smiled and nodded towards everyone, "But I have almost expressed what I want to say. Finally, as a graduate, let me give some more specific suggestions to the freshmen."

"First, [-]% of the learning problems you encounter are not new problems. You can basically find some clues by reading a few more books or searching the Internet."

"Second, basically three times, copying books, reading a few more textbooks for cross-comparison, using Google search, adding English keywords to pdf, so that almost 95% of the learning problems can be solved."

"Third, again, I hope everyone can understand that it is costly to seek knowledge independently. I believe that many freshmen may not be able to accept this concept for the time being, but this is the reality, and it will always be with you from the freshman year. Until you get used to it."

"This is my learning experience. Finally, I wish you all the most meaningful four years in HKUST."

"Clap clap clap clap..."
