Drama Queen Reborn as a Top Student!

Shen You’an adjusted the glasses on her nose bridge and calmly said, "When constructing the concept of derivatives, there is one very crucial question."

Shen You’an picked up a portable hard drive from the podium and showed it to the class. "Why do two hard drives with identical volume have different storage capacities?"

Someone answered, "Because the material is different."

"If a hard drive is given, how can you maximize its capacity?"

This stumped everyone.

"The capacity of a hard drive depends on tracks and sectors. The density and width of the tracks directly affect this. Efficient track width is a decisive factor in determining the storage capacity of a hard drive. Therefore, we can establish a limit model to calculate the maximum hard drive capacity. As one of you just mentioned, your focus was either on volume or material. Most often, people approach such problems from surface-level observations. But if you can rise beyond these observations and discern the mechanism behind the hard drive’s capacity formation—seeing the essence through the phenomenon—that is the foundational way of mathematical modeling."

"In constructing the concept of derivatives, extreme values are very important, and extreme values themselves are tightly linked to mathematical modeling."

Shen You’an finished speaking, looked towards Chen Zhou at the side, and nodded slightly. "I’m done."

With that said, she stepped down from the podium and headed back to her seat.

The entire class fell silent instantly.

Even Chen Zhou was momentarily speechless.
