"So maybe the question I asked tends to maintain physics and deny mathematics. Professor Paul, as a great mathematician, may defend mathematics from the perspective of a mathematician and oppose the importance of physics. However, the undeniable reality is that physics is an important science to explain natural phenomena in this world, and mathematics is just a calculation tool. Some people say that without physics, where does it come from, because without Newton applying calculus to mathematics, calculus cannot be perfect. Professor Paul, what do you think of these views?"

The two old professors couldn't help but hold their glasses: Oh, it was such a sharp and complex deep-seated problem at the beginning. No wonder they were Teacher Ning's beloved disciples. Professor Paul and Professor Xue smiled and looked at each other.

Professor Xue asked Li Xiang first: "People are working hard to learn formulas when studying physics, why do you suspect that mathematics is coming first?"

"I'm not skeptical of mathematics." Li Xiang smiled awkwardly, "It's because Teacher Ning told us that learning cannot only focus on one subject. In the future, the subjects will develop interdisciplinaryly, and we must consider the problem from a broader and broader perspective."

"So this is a direction for you to consider problems when you study physics, right? Just thinking that I have studied physics, why do you learn profound mathematics? After all, physics and mathematics are different as you said," said Professor Xue.

Professor Paul next to him added in English: "Physical formulas are mostly formulas summarized by experiments, which is the same as chemical formulas. But it is undeniable that when these formulas need to be calculated, only mathematics can solve the most fundamental problem. So why do you say that to be a physicist, you must at least become a second-rate mathematician."

"In this way, the professors are sure that mathematics is just the same calculation tool, right?" Li Xiang asked.

Professor Paul raised his finger and shook it: I can't say that, kid. Even the great physicists Newton and Einstein dare not say this. How did mathematics appear and develop? Doesn't its origin be the same because of nature? Humans can't fabricate the course of mathematics out of thin air. Therefore, I personally prefer to think that mathematics is the subject closest to God. Because it is obscure and difficult to understand, unlike physics and chemistry, which can be simply and intuitively equated with nature. It is very mysterious, and its mystery is comparable to no other discipline among all disciplines. This is its charm, and you will fall in love with it and be impressed by it. Of course, I will not deny that physics and chemistry each have their own other charm. But in terms of mystery, mathematics is undoubtedly the most mysterious.

Li Xiang and other college students carefully savored what the professors said. The professor meant that mathematics should not be regarded as a tool, because it may be closer to the origin of the entire world. It is enough to prove it by just using it in all disciplines.

Meng Chenxi and Fu Yu, who were sitting behind their brothers, must not even be able to get in. Fu Yu secretly asked Meng Chenxi: "Do you understand what they said?" She only knew that when Professor Paul spoke English, she was completely confused.
