Under the shade.
Looking at the somewhat explosive Mavericks and Hooker, Xu Yun quickly recalled the history he knew.
I don’t know if it was due to the interference of the Mavericks. Later generations did not have detailed information about Hooker’s resume, and they basically just passed it by.
Most of the time when Hu Ke is mentioned, it is just like mentioning Yuelun just to set off Faker, just to praise or belittle Lao Niu.
Therefore, for a while, Xu Yun really couldn't think of when Mavericks and Hook had met, and he could only find clues to deduce it by himself.
"In 1665... Hooke was a professor at Greysham College. His hometown, the Isle of Wight, was also in the south of England, completely in the opposite direction from Lincolnshire... and in the second half of the year, he published "Micrographs" elephant"...."
Xu Yun dug out Hu Ke's relatively public resume one by one and compared them one by one in his mind. As he thought about it, his eyes suddenly lit up:
"Wait, publish "Microscope"?"
In England in the seventeenth century, the power to define science was firmly in the hands of the Royal Society, which was a standard academic monopoly.
Anyone who wants to publish an academic book must first obtain approval from the society, and then print it through a publishing house under the name of the society.
At this moment, there is only one publishing house affiliated with the Royal Society, and it happens to be in Lincolnshire!
Thinking of this, Xu Yun's target gradually swept over the two of them:
"In other words, Hook should be preparing to go to Lincolnshire to discuss publishing matters now, so there is no reason for him to quarrel with Mavericks at this time...
Um, is it because of the feud between Cambridge and Oxford universities? "
Students who have been exchange students at Cambridge University should all know this.
Cambridge and Oxford, one of the two most famous colleges in the UK, have a feud that can be traced back even before the schools were founded.
Oxford is the main city in the Thames Valley. Legend has it that it was a place where cattle waded through in ancient times, hence its name.
As everyone knows.
Before the 12th century, there were actually no universities in Britain. People went to France and other continental European countries to study.
In 1167, some scholars returned from Paris and gathered in Oxford. With the support of the king and the church, the current Oxford University was formed.
In 1209, an Oxford University student accidentally killed a woman while practicing archery and then ran away, intensifying the conflict with the citizens of Oxford.
Then the two scholars and several classmates who lived with the student were hanged by the citizens of Oxford without consulting the church (the church often gave priority to pardoning scholars).
The conflict then intensified, triggering violent conflicts between schools and citizens.
During the conflict, some teachers and students fled north to the town of Cambridge, where they began to devote themselves to cultural and academic research with the support of the local church.
This formed what is now the University of Cambridge.
Therefore, the two schools had a lot of grievances from the beginning, and the school emblems of both sides were even opposite:
Both the University of Cambridge and the University of Oxford have a book on their emblems, but the Cambridge one is closed, while the Oxford one is open.
During the English Civil War, Oxford was the headquarters of Charles I and the Royalists, while Cambridge was the base of the Parliamentary Army, and they became politically antagonistic.
Therefore, if Hook saw the Mavericks' college uniforms on the way because of school hostility...
Then this is a very dramatic thing.
And just as Xu Yun was thinking, Hook next to him spoke again:
"Boy, how's Barrow doing lately?"
Hearing Hook mention his teacher's name for the second time, Maverick vaguely understood something:
"The teacher is in good health. Mr. Hook, do you know him?"
When Hook heard this, a sneer suddenly appeared at the corner of his mouth, and his rickety body looked a bit like Kasimov:
"More than just acquaintance? I didn't get the bachelor's degree back then... Forget it, there's no point in telling you this as a current student.
Well, please give me something. "
As he spoke, Hook took out a piece of paper from his body, with several lines of words densely written on it:
"I don't have Barrow's address. If you know where he is send him the question and let him take a good look at it.
If it can't be calculated, according to our original bet, he will resign from the position of Professor Lucas.
Of course, it doesn't matter if you can't find him or if he pretends to be dead, I will visit him personally after the Black Death is over.
In short, there is no way to escape. The best outcome for him is to get out of here in despair. "
After hearing Hook's villainous words, Maverick's face suddenly sank.
Professor Lucas.
This is not a name, but an honorary position at the University of Cambridge.
It is awarded to researchers related to mathematics and physics, and is only awarded to one person at a time. The owner of this chair is called "Professor Lucas".
In a sense, this is somewhat similar to the 'Shadow' in the Legend of Gomura Gunto: Eyes:
There may be four or five shadow-level combatants in a village, but there will always be only one person who can truly be called a shadow, representing the highest honor.
Mavericks' mentor, Isaac Barrow, is Professor Lucas in this area, that is, the "shadow" - yes, Mavericks' math teacher is also named Isaac.
After all, the West is not like the mainland. They typically have fewer first names and more surnames, so having the same name is quite normal.
Mavericks had a very close relationship with Barrow. According to the decryption of the manuscript after his death, Barrow at this time had even obtained the product and quotient of two functions and the differential theorem.
But in the end, he still passed on this part of his knowledge to his disciples and made a huge contribution to the establishment of calculus.
According to historical trends, Barrow would voluntarily resign as Professor Lucas in 1669 and recommend Mavericks as his successor.
If William is the well-deserved top 1 player in the Mavericks' hearts, then Burrow, Stoke, Lisa now and Harley in the future should be among the top 2 players.
So when he suddenly heard Hook's rude words, Mavericks' anger immediately surged up in his heart.
I saw him briefly checking the letter that Hook gave him. After hurriedly scanning a few lines, a trace of surprise and uncertainty flashed in his eyes.
Then he suddenly raised his head and shouted to Hook who had turned away:
"Mr. Hook, please wait a moment!"
When Hook heard this, he stopped, lifted his robe that was already staining the ground, and turned to look at Mavericks:
"Anything else?"
Mavericks first glanced at Xu Yun aside, took a deep breath and said:
"Mr. Hook, you don't need to forward your question to the teacher. Just give me five days and I can figure out the answer!"
.......
Note:
The matter between Barrow and Hooker is actually very strange. Not to mention Newton, it also involves Hooker's graduation and Barrow's resignation, but almost no one in the country has mentioned it...
It’s a bit confusing, but it’s definitely true, and I’m scratching my head.
Also yesterday someone commented on why Hook needs to be introduced in two chapters, because this character is very important.
Just like when you mention Naruto, you must mention Sasuke, and when you mention Harry Potter, you must mention Snape. He is an important figure that has been throughout Newton's life for most of his life, and the real introduction is only Chapter 27 and this half. ?
I can still read this book now. I recommend dozens of books from the same period that are either first or second. This shows that most readers like or can accept these plots. The market feedback is very good. Why should I change the rhythm... ....
Now this book is still free, and some minority parties will not read it if they don’t want to read it. Is there any point in spraying it...
I can’t find many books with my writing style at Qidian. You can find books with different writing styles with your eyes closed. For those books with a colon “xx: Isn’t it nice to read those books? Even if it’s not possible, it’s better to write one yourself.
Come to my place and squirt a bit, then go in and take a look, my dear, I have a five-year subscription record for two books...ε(*･ω･)_/ﾟ:･☆
