非常怀疑建议本科生用“显然”、“易得”、“trivial”……这种词汇的人是不是真心了解数学系的暗黑!在教授或助教眼中,这样的词汇至少传递了两个负面信息:1.挑衅阅卷人智商; 2.华丽丽地不懂装懂自欺欺人,明明证不过去了,拿这个做遮掩,妄图糊弄他们浑水摸鱼。一般来说,卷面上或作业中出现这种字眼的,无论证明是否正确,该题都会被扣掉全部分数。所以用这个装高冷的基本上都相当于是高贵冷艳地把脸送上去给别人抽。
真正装高冷的办法其实就是一个——只利用逻辑演算完成全部证明。这方面卓里奇他老人家给我们做出了超贱
(附卓老标志性的贱笑,结合以下内容的观感随便体会一下这种玩法,以及他这两卷《数学分析》背后满满的邪恶lol~)
的示范——
随便举几个例子,你的证明中不应该出现文字,而应该仅有以下这样的一阶逻辑语句:
这个之所以高冷的原因卓里奇也说得很清楚:
必要时你还得会一些二阶逻辑,比如:
直到有一天——
在你的眼中,数学归纳法是这样的:
并公理(一堆集合的并集总是允许构造的)是这样的:
。
以及当你面对命题的否定,能够手速150地刚正面(otherwise, 反证法看着不会耍流氓的你,猥琐地笑了【看你这么**,我就放心了……】…):
。
基本上神功练成,你可以付诸实践了(本人对由此修炼所导致的后果,以及实践产生的后果概不负责)。
数学分析是相当基础的数学,只要你想,所有的证明都可以写成这样蛋疼的形式。不过,这样装高冷需要提醒一点——只要其中出现一个单词(哪怕只是“使得”……),逼格立刻降至杀马特。那感觉就像——
。。。
说到底,装高冷是需要实力的。
骚年,你配?
