Re: 93 year old math professor returns to the podium to teach poetry: classroom is my paradise.
1925, he was born in Jinyun County, Zhejiang Province, double Xi Kou Township, the family name Pan Village, the old home Chongwen heavy education is poor, block. During the war of resistance against Japan, intellectuals in Shanghai and Hangzhou fled to southern Zhejiang and moved to secondary schools. I learned from my teacher that I did not pay tuition in normal school, and I got good results in the normal high school. I finally became the first university student in the village. That was the turning point of his fate.
20 Fuzhou Road in the late 20s of the century. Information map
at that time, Fudan freshman studied English, sophomore and junior high school studied German, and senior 4 studied French. In the first math class, the teacher listed the calculus textbooks used by famous universities all over the world. Pan Dingkun ran to Longmen bookstore on four roads (now Fuzhou Road) for 77% off days. After
more than 60 years later, he went to pun Ding's math class to recollection that he spoke English in a normal way in class. He also recommended Russian mathematics textbooks to students. Pan Dingkun said that Russian was self-taught after work. He felt that some textbooks were not well translated in Chinese, and the terms in English or original were more accurate. After graduating from Fudan in />1951,
1951 was assigned to the northeastern Institute of engineering by the state. In 1956, he was adjusted and incorporated into the Xi'an Institute of Architectural Engineering (now Xi'an University Of Architecture And Technology). Theoretically, it should be retired in 80s, but the course lasted until 1996, followed by 15 years of postgraduate entrance examination. When
took over, there were only 7 people in the tutorial class. Pan Dingkun has been with him for several years, and a lesson is hard to find. Many students from other schools will come to listen to it. At seven o'clock in the morning, there were people waiting in line to grab seats. Teachers who opened the classroom door could not get to the door. Grade 06 student Zhang Hao usually sits directly in the hallway: "that's also a good place to be close to the teacher." Wang Wanying,
2005, was cleverer than the front row. She took the newspaper to the front row of the first row and sat down on the ground. This is called "a negative row". Pan Dingkun's lecture is very big and he always walks around. When he talks about the three points, one hand compares the X axis, and one hand acts as the Y axis. The students who sat on the negative row quickly put their pen down and made an involuntary gesture to help him, for fear that he would fall down. Then he was more than 80 years old.
