Thoughts and feedback:

 This workshop was about mathematics and art, which happens to be one of the parts that interests me most. The whole study was very compact, without any interruptions, and I really benefited a lot.

    ThanksThe professor first started with some laws of nature to arouse the curiosity of the students. After discovering some coincidences and mysteries of nature, they were all amazed. In my spare time, I often take my whole family for walks outdoors. Through the new knowledge gained this time, I will be able to observe some natural phenomena in depth in the future, and my children will learn more different things.

     The so-called layman is watching the excitement, while the expert is watching the door. But if you are always obsessed with the world of numbers, your life will become more boring. The beauty of mathematics does not lie in its gorgeous and complex calculation process, but in its presence in our daily lives. People nowadays are usually busy with work. If they can find some fun outside of their busy schedule, their days will be more exciting. Art, art "mathematics", what is missing in life is not beauty, but discovery; what is missing in life is not mathematics, but acceptance. Did you do math today?
