高校教授“边教诗词边讲高数”火了！网友：听不懂但是会爱上

A professor's innovative teaching approach has garnered widespread attention in a recent video as he seamlessly intertwines the worlds of poetry and advanced mathematics in his classroom.

Nanjing University of Posts and Telecommunications confirmed on Wednesday that the acclaimed professor is Mr Li Lei, who, in the video, was teaching his course "Poetry Composition and Appreciation" by applying mathematical principles to elucidate the intricate structure of poetry.

As a mathematics professor at the university, Li primarily conducts research in the fields of mathematics and artificial intelligence. He also offers the course "Poetry Composition and Appreciation" and continues to serve as the instructor for this course even after his retirement.

In the viral video, he was explaining the "exposition, development, turn, and conclusion" structure in poetry using mathematical calculations. He asserts that this four-stage process applies to various areas, including the human nervous system and artificial neural network construction in AI.

He believes that the "turn" is the most crucial. In artificial neural networks, the "turn" is often achieved through functions like Gaussian and S-functions. In poetry, the "turn" is typically expressed through techniques such as negation, questioning, or emphasis.

不仅如此，李雷老师还曾在课堂上分别用楷书和行草以及两种书写形式板书他新写的诗——《枯荷》，同时融入思政元素进行三观教育。

Professor Li was once hailed as one of the school's most beloved educators. In an interview, he shared his enduring philosophy of elevating teaching to an art form, stating, "A teacher is not just a purveyor of knowledge but also an artistic master."
