I Don’t Want to Win Lying Down

Xu Mang's arrival was a devastating blow to the economics professor. It was the first time he encountered someone sleeping in his class, and he even wondered for a few times whether the content of his lectures was too boring?

However...

This idea was quickly dismissed by the professor, because only one of the nearly 200 students was sleeping, which indicated that the problem came from the student himself.

Ahem!

This classmate! said the professor, Don't sleep!

...

...

...

Everyone looked at Xu Mang, but Xu Mang didn't know.

at this time,

The most embarrassing one was Yang Xiaoman. After all, Xu Mang was her boyfriend. In a hurry, he stepped on Xu Mang's instep.

Whoops!

Xu Mang woke up in an instant. He lay on the table and looked at Xiaoman in a daze. Seeing her expressionless face, he was about to ask, but then he found that the teachers and students in the whole classroom were staring at him like monkeys. ..

What's your name, this classmate? the professor asked.

I?

Professor, are you asking me? Xu Mang looked curious, Xu Mang... is from the Department of Physics, majoring in theoretical physics.

physics?

Why did the physics department appear here?

The professor looked at Xu Mang in surprise: How come the physics department is in the economics department class? Classmate... Did you go the wrong way?

Well?

Nope...the physics department is on another campus.

certainly,

The professor may not know the reason for Xu Mang's appearance, but all the students here know that why a physics student is in the economics class, isn't it because the girl next to him is from the economics department.

I... this... I want to think about a certain physics and mathematics problem from the perspective of economics. Xu Mang began to open his eyes and talk nonsense: This problem is called a strange attractor, which is both stable and With the ability to mutate, I personally feel that it is a bit similar to the economy, so come and listen to it.

???

???

???

What the hell?

What strange attractor?

Is this guy crazy?

Most of the students present were stupefied, and they were vague or even completely ignorant of the mathematical concepts Xu Mang proposed.

Although the professor didn't know what a strange attractor was, he was attracted by Xu Mang's last sentence. It has stability and the ability to mutate at the same time.

Since it's an audit, listen carefully and don't sleep. The professor glanced at Xu Mang and continued the class.

Dodged a bullet!

so close.

Xu Mang knew that many boys present wanted to put him to death, especially those suitors of Xiaoman, but unfortunately...in addition to pretending to face, I also have a special skill called fish in troubled waters.

no,

Get through it!

well?

The strange attractor you just mentioned... Is it linked to the economy? Yang Xiaoman asked curiously.

how could I know?

This is just a mathematical model of chaos. Anyway, if I propose it, no one will know about it, so I'll blow it up... Xu Mang said with a smile, Am I smart? I got away with it.

idiot...

I thought I had a talent for economics.

Yang Xiaoman was a little disappointed. If this guy really has the talent for economics, he must be tricked from the physics department to the economics department and come to accompany me.

pity...

He has no talent.

Ever since he was named, Xu Mang has become more honest. He sat there playing with his mobile phone. Although the economics skill was triggered, Xu Mang didn't want to learn economics at all, mainly because he felt that it was useless... If he had to learn it, Then think about the economy from a physical point of view.

By the way...

Can the two be combined?

Xu Mang thought about this question for a while, then glanced at Xiaoman beside him, it seemed that they could really combine.

I study physics myself.

Xiaoman majored in economics.

By this time next year, we will almost be able to combine.

whoops

what am i thinking !

Hastily decontaminating his thoughts, Xu Mang began to think about economics from a physical point of view.

for example...

Freedom of the market economy.

How free can you be?

Little Man?

Well?

The market economy described in neoclassical economics, free choice, rational people... Are these all fake? Xu Mang asked curiously.

Why are you asking this? Yang Xiaoman gave a blank look.

Then what...

The simplest model in our physics is called a free particle. There are six degrees of freedom in total. Is this free enough? Xu Mang said, For another example...our most idealized model is called a gas. There is no interaction between them, no friction, free movement.

The problem is coming!

I found that many economists, especially online economists, they advocate some kind of freedom... But from my physical point of view, the concept of economy is no longer freedom. If freedom... It will turn into gas. Xu Mang said solemnly.

Yang Xiaoman rolled her eyes, and said angrily: You are so annoying!

Xu Mang: 囧

Little Man?

What are you doing again?!

Then let's discuss the issue of market freedom from another angle. Xu Mang said, I personally believe that under the current social structure, the division of labor is constantly being refined and organizational capabilities are constantly being strengthened. The degree will be less, so market freedom may be a myth made by foreigners, belonging to utopian capitalism.”

Yang Xiaoman was about to go crazy, and glared at Xu Mang: What the hell are you going to do?!

I...

I'll just talk casually. Xu Mang shrank his head: Don't take it to heart, I'm really just talking casually.

snort!

Shut up for me right now! Yang Xiaoman regretted the choice he made, this guy was not like this before... He was quiet then, why is he so talkative now? Is it too much knowledge?

So annoying.

at the same time,

Xu Mang downloaded a classic book by Adam Smith from the Internet on his mobile phone.

look at, look at,

Xu Mang found a problem. The name of the book contained Fu, but the book didn't tell what Fu was. It simply quoted Hobbes's words that Fu was the so-called power.

Subsequently,

Xu Mang discovered another problem, the so-called invisible hand in this book.

Little Man?

What are you doing again?!

The invisible hand is the self-regulation of the market economy, right? Xu Mang asked.

Um.

What are you looking at? Yang Xiaoman glanced at his phone curiously, and said helplessly, Are you going to study economics?

No!

I'll take a look at it casually. After Xu Mang finished speaking, he deleted the book. He felt that the so-called self-regulation seemed... It seemed to be covering up some kind of doctrine behind the market competition.

What doctrine?

Xu Mang didn't know about this issue for the time being, but he vaguely felt that it had something to do with power competition.

soon,

Xu Mang's audition tour ended.

Just when the two were about to leave, the professor suddenly left Xu Mang behind, and Yang Xiaoman, Xu Mang's boyfriend, naturally stood by his side.

Xu Mang?

Your strange attractor was quite interesting just now. The professor said, Can you explain it more carefully?

ah?

I...this... Xu Mang looked confused.

Yang Xiaoman stood aside, smiling all over her face, asking you to brag, look... let's blow things out.

professor...

I'm just talking casually. Xu Mang straightened his attitude and said respectfully, For example, Professor, there is an economic variable that is spinning round and round. If it doesn't converge to one point, it won't reach the classical level. Equilibrium in economics, but there will be no explosion, which will lead to infinite growth, just keep turning and turning and turning...

Its dimension is not zero, not one, and not two. It's not the whole thing, but a fraction, that is, a fractal. Xu Mang said: This is a very complicated mathematical concept. I personally feel that it is very similar to economics.

professor...

I haven't studied economics, so don't forget what I said. Xu Mang said hastily, I like to brag.

Hearing Xu Mang's words,

The professor smiled, shook his head and said, Everyone has their own point of view, and this so-called strange attractor does conform to certain characteristics of economics.

after,

Xu Mang and Yang Xiaoman left the classroom.

On the way to the school cafeteria, Yang Xiaoman glanced at the bastard beside him, and asked silently, Why didn't you tell the professor what you said about harassing me in class?

I'm not stupid! Xu Mang smiled wryly, Those are just my simple thoughts. Wouldn't it be scolded to death if he heard what he said?

snort!

You also know? Yang Xiaoman gave a blank look: Do you have any ideas about transferring to the economics department? Your mathematics is very good, and your financial ability should not be too bad, do you know? The highest grades in our department are mathematics course.

oh...

I know this. The protagonist in the movie A Beautiful Mind is a mathematician, and his game theory won the Nobel Prize in Economics. Xu Mang said blankly, I'd better study physics.

cut!

It's as if you can win the Nobel Prize in Economics as long as you study economics. Yang Xiaoman pouted, then hugged Xu Mang's arm, and said with a smile, Go shopping at night?

no, sorry!

I want to study physics. Xu Mang shook his head.

Hello!

It's easy for you to lose me like this. Did you see the number of your opponents today? Yang Xiaoman was very upset that he actually competed with Physics for a man.

I'm really going to be expelled... If I am expelled, I can only go to the Department of Mathematics. Xu Mang said helplessly, I don't want to go to the Department of Mathematics...

Regarding Xu Mang's obsession with studying physics, Yang Xiaoman made many, many hypotheses, but none of them fit his current situation. How could a good-looking person suddenly study physics.

The two ate in the cafeteria. The food was relatively simple, but Xu Mang found some happiness in simplicity.

Shredded pork with fish flavor, Mushu pork, sweet and sour pork tenderloin, braised pork and so on.

Yang Xiaoman is sometimes very envious, this guy is always eating nonsense, but he is not very fat.

after dinner,

Walking around the campus, he received a call from Director Xia, telling him that the key had been given to the security guard at the school gate and he was asked to pick it up by himself.

What?

You live in the laboratory? After hearing Xu Mang's words, Yang Xiaoman looked at him in surprise: So miserable?

School beds are tight.

No way. Xu Mang sighed.

Yang Xiaoman had an idea, and said maliciously: How about...how about I come to accompany you?

ha?

Still have this kind of operation?

Xu Mang looked at Yang Xiaoman in surprise, Are you crazy?

Yang Xiaoman rolled her eyes: Coward!

This is not a matter of cowardice. Xu Mang was speechless: This is a matter of moral bottom line, do you understand if you are going to jail?

idiot!

...

night,

Always so peaceful.

In the laboratory, Xu Mang was not sleeping, but was tinkering with the computer. There was nothing else here, only the computer.

In the previous two hours, Xu Mang was browsing the school forum, and found a lot of posts. There was a certain pattern in these posts, which was to criticize a physics student who came to attend the economics class this afternoon.

But careful observation reveals that the core idea is to criticize unfair competition across platforms and regions.

don't look,

This must have been sent by a graduate student in the Department of Economics!
