從六十一分開始的學術人生

de 梁承裕 ...

數學考試只得六十一分的人，後來成為數學教授。這聽來像一個反敗為勝的故事，但梁承裕回頭看見的，並不是一條由失敗通往成功的直線，而是一連串在資料不足時作出的選擇：選科、求職、離開香港、讀博士、做研究，也學習怎樣教別人面對不知道的問題。百封求職信沒有回音，他才第一次認真考慮研究院；到了美國，語言、文化和九一一之後的世界同時變得陌生。博士畢業回港，他以為教授的工作主要是研究和上課，後來才發現，論文、學生、審稿、資助、行政、評核和一次又一次失敗，才是學術生活真正的日常。自由有自己的邊界；熱愛也不是每天都充滿激情，而是經歷困難、懷疑甚至放棄之後，仍有一些問題值得回去。這本書也追問我們熟悉卻少有細想的事：一個分數可以量度甚麼？履歷為何把複雜的人生壓成幾行？研究是否一定要解決著名難題？教授怎樣判斷學生真正明白，而不是只找到答案？當人工智能與搜尋工具進入課堂，我們又該把甚麼交給工具，甚麼留給自己判斷？ ...
