Chapter 14 Teacher, do we just need to buy these teaching materials?
"Teacher, since I have decided to participate in the physics competition, I will definitely go for the semi-finals."
Xu You participated in the physics competition not just to feel the atmosphere.
If you don’t even have the confidence to enter the semi-finals, you might as well concentrate on preparing for the college entrance examination.
"Okay, then I'll recommend you a few textbooks and write them down on paper for you."
Gao Shang tore off a piece of paper and wrote while explaining to Xu You.
"First, there are the tutorials for physical competition. You can start with the small green book and the black and white book. If you learn these thoroughly, you won't have any problems in the preliminaries."
"If you want to enter the semi-finals, you must practice Cheng Jiafu's "Mechanics" and "Electromagnetism", and you must work hard on the past semi-final questions."
"If you want to reach a higher level, you need to study Advanced Mathematics, Volumes 1 and 2, Linear Algebra, and General Physics."
"General physics books include Mechanics, Optics, Thermodynamics, Electromagnetism, and Quantum Physics. I suggest you use Zhao Kaihua's. For Quantum Physics, you can use Zhe Shenglin's. Zhao Kaihua's quantum physics is a bit difficult."
"If you want to join the provincial team, you have to study hard on "Collection of Difficult Questions" and "National Training"."
"Of course, if you want to join the national training team, you'd better take a look at Mathematical Methods and Four Major Mechanics..."
As he spoke, Gao Shang had already filled a page with various teaching materials.
Gao Shang didn't expect Xu You to finish reading all these books in just two months.
It would be great if Xu You could reach the level of the rematch within two months.
I said so much just to give Xu You a warning and let him know how much knowledge the competition requires.
It is no exaggeration to say that the amount of knowledge required to learn just for physical competition is even more than the amount of knowledge of all subjects in high school combined.
After reading the books recommended by Gao Shang, Xu You indeed felt the huge amount of knowledge required for competition.
But Xu You did not feel any pressure. Instead, they immediately aroused Xu You's desire to buy them.
I haven't spent much of the education funds sponsored by Xu Zhou yet.
Seeing Gao Shang stop writing, Xu You asked Gao Shang:
"Teacher, do we just need to buy these teaching materials?"
noble:"……"
Xu You's words also made Gao Shang choke for a moment.
Before, Gao Shang recommended teaching materials to other students.
Before I even got halfway through the lecture, the students already had a face full of question marks.
It would take a long time to finish any of the books here.
But Xu You seemed not satisfied with these books.
Gao Shang tried hard to calm down his emotions and explained patiently:
"These books are not easy to read. If you can really understand them thoroughly, it won't be a problem for you to enter the national training team. You can buy the books I mentioned earlier and read the contents of the preliminaries and semi-finals carefully. There are less than two months left until the preliminaries start, and there are only two weeks between the preliminaries and the semi-finals, so you have to prepare for the semi-finals in advance."
Let’s not talk about whether Xu You can finish reading all these books. Even if he buys them all, it will cost several thousand yuan.
If you can't even make it to the semi-finals, there's really no need to waste the money.
"It's okay, teacher. My dad gave me an education fund. Ten thousand yuan should be enough for these books, right? If it's enough, I'll buy them all at once to save trouble. If not, I'll ask my dad for more."
Xu You believed that Xu Zhou was willing to save money on his education.
"Well... it's definitely enough. If I buy all genuine products, two or three thousand yuan should be enough."
Hearing the price, Xu You felt relieved.
"By the way, teacher, do these books overlap with the materials for reviewing math competitions?"
Xu You noticed that many of the books recommended by Gao Shang contained content similar to university mathematics.
"Yes, there is some overlap, because there are many questions in the physics competition that require a good math foundation, especially calculus, which must be studied well. Of course, the physics competition does not require as much detailed math knowledge as the mathematics competition. If you only study these math textbooks, you will not be able to cope with the mathematics competition."
As a physics competition teacher, Gao Shang naturally didn't want Xu You to focus his energy on competitions in other subjects.
"Teacher, can you help me find a teacher for the math competition and recommend some books? I want to sign up for , but I'm just trying it out. I'll focus on the physics competition."
Xu You suddenly felt that since he was reviewing physics competition, he also had to learn a lot of mathematical knowledge.
It would be better to just sign up for the math competition as well.
Anyway, my math scores meet the registration requirements.
If you don’t have enough energy later, give up the mathematics competition and concentrate on preparing for the physics competition.
If you have enough energy, you can spend some of the extra time on math competitions.
"Okay, I'll go back and ask for you. But Xu You, I have to tell you that you have a better chance of winning the prize in physics. Don't put too much energy on mathematics."
"Okay, teacher. I will definitely learn physics first."
Although Xu You agreed readily, Gao Shang still had an indescribable feeling in his heart.
Xu You said that he wanted to concentrate on reviewing for the physics competition, but didn't he still have to sign up for the mathematics competition and find information about it himself?
Sure enough, many of these top students are unable to specialize in one subject and have to try their best.
But Gao Shang was just complaining in his heart.
If Xu You can really win a prize in the competition, no matter which subject it is, it will be an honor for No. 4 Middle School.
After returning to the classroom, Xu You and Liu Yanli told each other that they wanted to sign up for the physics competition and mathematics competition.
"Xu You, are you really going to sign up for both competitions?"
Liu Yanli’s idea is similar to Zhao Shuang’s. If students are not very sure, it is not recommended to sign up for the competition at this time.
"Well, let's sign up for both and try. My dad agrees. Teacher, should it be okay to sign up for two subjects?"
"Of course you can, but you can't focus all your energy on the competition. Although you made great progress in the four science subjects in this exam, your Chinese and English scores were average. If you study hard, you will have a chance to catch up with Lu Zhiyao."
Xu You's scores in mathematics and physics have indeed reached the standards required by No. 4 Middle School, and he can completely apply for competitions in both subjects.
But for Xu You's sake, Liu Yanli decided to talk to Xu You's parents about this matter when she has time.
Xu You's father Xu Zhou also remembered about renewing Xu You's leave note and contacted Liu Yanli on WeChat.
Xu Zhou: "Teacher Liu, Xu You said his evening study leave note has expired. Could you please write him a new leave note? Can you write a long-term one?"
Liu Yanli: "It's like this, we can only issue evening self-study leave notes for a maximum of one month. If you think about it and it's about to expire, please contact me in advance and I will issue a new one for your child."
Xu Zhou: "Okay, thank you Teacher Liu for your help."
After solving the problem of Xu You's leave note, Xu Zhou began to ask about Xu You's recent status in school.
