數學所

If
台大數學系在這一年內
有聘到做theoretical biology做得不錯的
then
我研究所就念台大數學所XD

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.

數學教育

雖然我現在(還有國小時)熱愛數學
但在國高中時因為種種因素
數學這科
以我自己對待一門學問的態度
及花費的時間與精力而言
可以說是混過去的
現在回想起來
原因在於我沒有受到夠強的motivation
更糟糕的是
以本人事實上threshold相當低
隨隨便便就對任何學問都感興趣的狀況看來
這點應該是台灣國高中數學教育最大敗筆

以這學期的學習狀況
雖然唸得很累
但是常常能享受

乾淨俐落地把題目解決的快感
做完習題的愉悅
發現潛藏在數學中的規律和美的欣喜

這樣怎麼可能會不想唸數學呢
