杨振宁是中国和世界的骄傲:
♡ 第一位中国人得诺贝尔奖 (同李政道共享荣誉)
♡ 3大物理贡献:
● 宇称不守恒 (1957 诺贝尔奖)
● Yang-Mills Conjecture (7大千年数学问题之一)
[如果此问题被证明, 杨可以得第二个诺贝尔奖]
● Yang-Baxter Equation
♡ 杨振宁-翁帆”82-28″姻缘
杨振宁不但是”数学-物理”(Mathematical Physics)大师, 而且中国文学底子厚, 能写诗歌。
爱国心驱使他退休后离开美国, 回返北京清华大学, 为中国科学培养下一代人才。

《老梁故事汇》 20151012
老梁是从旅客外国人的眼角看法国人:
♡高傲 — 不跟美国屁股走
♡浪漫 — 爱情, 美食, 服装, 艺术, 建筑, 文学
♡自由, 博爱, 平等 — 为此革命, 罢工。
其实, 在科学, 医学/医药, 数学, 哲学, 政治, 法国人治学严谨 (Rigorous)。
法国是数学大国。法国妈妈关心孩子功课, 总是会问: “你的数学怎样 ? “。没有一个国家把数学看得那么重要。巴黎有100多条街路是取法国数学家的名字。
法国人爱抽象, 玄奥的东西。Modern Math – 抽象代数学(Abstract Algebra) 是由19世纪法国一位19岁天才Evariste Galois发明的群论(Group Theory)开始。抽象画派诞生在法国巴黎。
法国人得诺贝尔文学奖和(数学)Fields Medals者, 人数世界第一多。
法国在西方, 民族特性很像东方的中国:
♢中菜, 法菜, 并列世界第一和第二名 (土耳其菜第三)
♢影响人类的哲学家辈出: Descartes, Votaire, Rousseau。中国有孔子, 老子, 孟子, 庄子…
♢军事家: 拿破仑 – 孙子兵法。
♢女将军: Jean d’Arc (圣女贞德) – 花木兰
♢大文豪: 雨果《Les Misérables》 – 曹雪芹《红楼梦》
♢爱情: 茶花女 – 梁山伯与祝英台
♢侠客: 三剑客, Zoro – 七侠五义, 武侠小说
♢武术: 剑术 (Fencing) – 中国功夫
♢清高: 礼拜天法国乞丐不接受施舍, 罢工不收小费 – 陶渊明”不为五斗米折腰”
(西方德国则像东方的日本)
法国的没落, 是贵族后代享受几代祖蔭而败坏的, 就像清末抽鸦片的中国。然而, 痩死的骆驼大过马儿, 今日法国轰炸ISIS, 报复巴黎恐怖屠杀, 全法国同仇敌忾, 虎风不减。

Here are some useful study tips for Mathematics. The key to acing Maths is to understand that practice is key for Mathematics!
Sincerely hope these tips help.
Please do not study Maths like studying History, Literature or Geography, the study method for Maths is totally different and opposite from studying Humanities. Reading a Maths textbook without practicing is not very helpful at all.
Once a student understands the basic theory of a certain topic (usually just one or two pages of information), he or she can move on to practicing actual questions immediately. While practicing, the student will then learn more and more knowledge and question-answering strategies for that Maths topic.
Even if you already know how to do a question, it is useful to practice it to improve on speed and accuracy.
The study strategy for Maths and Physicsare kind of similar, hence usually…

I like the first one about Physics, and the last one about Math!
Curiously, they used Darth Maul’s Theme for Physics, and Darth Vader’s Theme for Math. 🙂
This is for landed house.
(A Singapore plumber charges S$200- S$250 per visit, some cases even for HDB houses.)
The kitchen drainage regularly choked after 6 months to a year, due to oily food residues, hairs or soils from garden (if sharing the common underground sewage pipe with the kitchen sinks).
The underground U-Tube design is a MUST by PWD authority to prevent mosquitoes. Water levels up automatically in U-Tube, provides a natural shield to the external sewerage drain, preventing mosquito breeding, insects and harmful gases from entering your kitchen.
Equipment: A drainage coil wire “Drain Snake”, 5 to 7 meter long, about the little finger’s thickness, flexible yet with enough strength to push blockage.
Note:
Powered Auto-feed Drain Snake
Steps:
1. Find the underground pipe hole(s) leading to the sewage pipe which connects to the external sewerage. The choked area is near the hole, usually clogged by big…

这是清末科举考八股文的真实笑话: 拿破仑是法国皇帝, 秀才无知, 吹牛八股一番…
“夫项羽, 拔山盖世之雄, 豈有破轮而不能拿哉? 使破轮自修其政, 又焉能为项羽所拿者?拿全轮而不胜, 而况于拿破轮也哉?”
— 见 舒芜《项羽拿破仑论》
1.能因敌变化而取胜者，谓之神。
2.知可以战与不可以战者，胜。
3.善用兵者，避其锐气，击其惰归。
4.兵者，诡道也，故能而示之不能，用而示之不用，近而示之远，远而示之近。
5.利而诱之，乱而取之，实而备之，强而避之。
6.攻其无备，出其不意。
7.知彼知己，百战不殆；不知彼知己，一胜一负，不知彼不知己，每战必殆。
8.用兵之法，十则围之，五则攻之，倍则分之，敌则能战之，少则能逃之，不若则能避之。
9.投之亡地然后存，陷之死地然后生。
10.百战百胜，非善之善者也；不战而屈人之兵，善之善者也。
