Hello everyone, I am Anthony. Welcome to my channel.
We have talked about education and learning for 4 videos.
During this time, many netizens have written many high-quality comments from their own experience.
Thank you very much for your participation.
In the last video, we said that due to the bad education system,
the learning trauma of Chinese people is very serious.
and because the whole system tends to classify students as not smart enough in their studies,
it deepens the general lack of learning.
We focused on math education in China,
because in China's primary and secondary schools,
math can be said to be a subject that has a decisive effect on the overall score,
and because good math scores are more likely to be regarded as high IQ,
rational and logical thinking,
the math scores are also most likely to hit the individual's self-esteem and confidence.
But objectively speaking, the problem of Chinese math education is that the course setting and teaching methods are not reasonable enough and not respectful enough.
But the content is basically correct.
But liberal arts education is not just a matter of learning methods,
but a lot of content has no logic at all,
and it's completely nonsense.
So here I also want to talk to you about my own situation.
I am a person who has been very interested and curious about math since I was a child,
and math has been my favorite subject for a long time.
Fortunately, I grew up in an environment that was relatively not introverted and powerful.
The reason for saying this is mainly because of my subjective experience.
to
I have a very good grade in both primary and secondary school, but I have not been sent to study in the university for my academic goals.
I am interested in the competition, so I can keep my pure interest.
I believe that you still remember the point we mentioned in the video on December 1st.
The process of free learning is a continuous emotional and cognitive experience, and does not follow any established class classification standards.
People seem to be in chaos and do not know what to do.
I found that my knowledge of philosophy, psychology, and sociology, etc.
can be traced back to a simple and vague exploration of mathematics.
This is what mathematics has taught me, and it is much more important than my academic performance.
But in this process, I have also gradually observed that many of my classmates
are not very good at studying.
of the Chinese education system, and finally fell into a kind of learning helplessness.
I often feel that they themselves are very smart people, but their potential and confidence
are easily denied by the education system.
This is also one of the reasons why my interest gradually turned from math to education and
psychology.
So in this video, we will compare the math textbooks in the West and analyze in detail
how Chinese math education has hit the students' confidence.
and James Stewart's Calculus,
these two textbooks have a huge influence in China and North America.
The reason why I chose to compare them is not only because they have a fundamental and important position in mathematics and many science and engineering subjects,
but also because they can show the huge difference between China and the West in the concept of mathematics.
教学理念的巨大差异。只是简单翻看这两本书,我们首先就会有一个直观的感受,就是中国教材的编写有一个非常固定的,套路化,也可以说是机械的模板,就是先给出一个特例,通过类比得出一般结论,然后给出严格的定理或者定义,然后给出立体巩固概念,最后是习题,这些习题也基本上是纯粹的数学题,缺乏在其他学科的应用或者跨界的联系。
For example, in the chapter on gravity, the text says that gravity can measure the volume of the top of the body and the quality of the thin surface.
and in these two cases, they gave out a double-point,
a triple-point definition,
