      Put the way in maths

      Maths is the basic science, if you like, you can find maths behind everything, which means that everything could be put it in a new way of maths. Take the examples of diet and investment in the book, we take the common sense for granted, from the perspective of maths, we know why the common sense makes sense.

        试过不同的老师不同的教材，读过不同的书，结论就是：我这辈子不会爱上数学的。
