Chapter 61 Mathematical Olympiad
Early the next morning, Lynn, who had been meditating all night, pushed the door and walked out after a simple wash. He happened to bump into Philip, the elemental professor who was going out.
"Professor Lynn, did you rest well last night?" Philip greeted with a smile.
"Very good, the conditions here are much more comfortable than those in the Sekas Empire." Lynn also had a smile on his face. From today onwards, he doesn't have to worry about the threat of the Holy See all day long.
"Of course, I heard that the poor there live in houses made of thatch and stone bricks, is that true?" Philip asked curiously.
For Philip, who was born in a land of wizards, his little knowledge of the Sekas Empire comes from rumors. Every Sunday, he likes to go to the tavern on the pier and listen to the sailors tell anecdotes about the outside world.
"As far as the poor are concerned, this is true, but those nobles and priests also live a very luxurious life." Seeing that Philip was interested, Lynn gave him a general introduction to the empire based on the memory of the original Karl. and the Holy See.
"Since you have fought against that archbishop, do you know how these people use divine arts? Do they also need to learn about elements, shaping, or alchemy?" Philip asked again.
"I don't think it should be used." Lynn shook his head. Judging from the priest selection process in the Nordland Territory, the clergy only need to be able to fight and have a firm belief in the gods.
This is also a question that he has never understood. Could it be that besides exploring the truth, there are other ways to gain strength?
Philip didn't delve too deeply into this point. After satisfying some curiosity, he took the initiative to introduce each area of Iyeta Academy to Lynn.
The Iyeta Academy covers an area of more than 20,000 square meters. The landmark building, the Tower of Screaming, is located in the center of the academy, and the rear is the residence of the students and professors. The magic library and the combat training field are set up on the right side of the academy. It is the teaching area of each subject.
Elements, Shaping, Alchemy, Potions... These are the four major disciplines of Iyeta Academy.
Besides, in the city of wizards, some top academies also offer special courses such as prophecy and force field.
"There used to be psionics, but it's abandoned now, and it will be where you teach in the future." Philip pointed to the independent building next to the Tower of Screaming and said.
The entire Psychic Academy looks a little gloomy, covered by thick gray walls, probably because no one has visited it for a long time, the walls are covered with moss, and it looks a little dilapidated.
"I'll find a few goblins to clean up the place later, and it should be able to be used normally in the afternoon... Those psionic wizards are nagging all day long. It's really a big deal for me to say that the council banned them. Good thing." Philip said gloatingly, and then told Lynn about the course arrangement.
As a professor, you can freely arrange the class time, but it is best to fix it and try not to conflict with other professors' teaching time, otherwise those apprentices can only choose between two courses.
However, after Philip finished talking about the schedule of the existing four courses, Lynn immediately found that what the other party said before was all nonsense, because almost every day was full of various courses, and the new courses he opened must be in line with Other subjects take up time.
"Elementology is the Iyeta Academy, the subject with the most electives. It usually starts from 10 to 12 o'clock in the morning, and from 7 to 9 o'clock in the evening..." Philip kindly reminded that the meaning was obvious. Don't think about it, there are definitely not many people who will come to listen to his new class.
Lin En nodded noncommittally, and Philip asked again.
"Have you thought about the name of the new subject?"
"Why don't we call it... Olympiad!" Lin En said in a deep voice.
After accepting the position of professor, Lynn has been thinking about what to teach.
Magic definitely won't work.
So far, the total number of magic spells he has mastered is less than ten, maybe not as many as some students, teaching them will only make people laugh, unless he is willing to teach the method of making white phosphorus.
However, this thing is one of his few hole cards. Lynn is not going to spread this thing out, so he can only choose those subjects from his previous life.
Chinese, geography, and biology are influenced by the world and are not suitable as teaching content.
Chemistry is very good, but it conflicts with the subject of elements. He couldn't possibly fight Philip when he first came, right?
This is a bit unreasonable, and maybe there are some novel elements in this different world that he doesn't know, so it's better not to teach them.
As for physics? He wrote a formula at random and the other party had to understand those arithmetic symbols.
The only option is math!
In this world, the circle is still round, and the square is still square. The basic calculation rules must be universal, and mathematics is the foundation of all science and technology, and it is the most important tool for human beings to understand and transform the world.
It can be said that most of the scientific theories can be expressed in the form of mathematical formulas. This subject is always at the forefront of the times. Many cutting-edge scientific research results are completely derived from mathematics!
Those magical theories should be no exception.
For example, the Hellam formula he used when he was learning [Magic Missile], and Kolu's research on fluid mechanics involved a lot of knowledge of mathematical operations. It can be seen that wizards have started to study mathematics early, but they have not yet form a specialized discipline.
The reason is very simple. Wizards cannot directly gain power from mathematics, they all benefit indirectly and use some kind of magic.
This also leads to all mathematical formulas being attached to various disciplines, and sometimes even the calculation methods and symbols cannot be unified.
After Lynn briefly described the meaning of the Olympiad, Philip's expression became a little strange. He thought that Lynn would talk about those novel theories from the [Secret Society] in the new course, but he didn't expect it to be some Simple calculation method.
Will there really be students dedicated to this kind of thing?
Philip opened his mouth, hesitated to speak, he felt that if Lynn only taught these things, he might not even be able to recruit a single apprentice.
However, choosing what to teach is the freedom of each professor, and Philip is not good at making suggestions. He secretly thought that it would be better to mention this new course to the students in class later, so that Lynn would not be alone when he opened the course. None, it's embarrassing.
