On the afternoon of January 9, 2025, Professor Zheng Jianhua, Department of Mathematical Sciences at Tsinghua University, visited Macau University of Science and Technology. He was warmly received by Professor Qian Tao, Director of the Macau Centre for Mathematical Sciences of Macau University of Science and Technology, and Associate Professor Xiao Xuanxuan, Assistant Director of the Macau Centre for Mathematical Sciences.
Professor Zheng Jianhua, a distinguished mathematician and doctoral supervisor, is the current lead lecturer for Mathematics in the Qian Xuesen Mechanics Program under Tsinghua University’s Elite Talent Cultivation Scheme, as well as the past president of the National High Education Advanced Mathematics Innovation Teaching Research Association. His main research focuses on transcendental dynamical systems and meromorphic function theory. He has led several National Natural Science Foundation projects and has published over seventy major academic papers in prestigious journals such as Trans. AMS, J. London Math. Soc., Math. Z., Nonlinearity, Sci. China Math., and J. Anal. Math. He also authorizes two monographs (Tsinghua University Press and Springer) and two textbooks (Higher Education Press and Tsinghua University Press).
Professor Zheng Jianhua was giving a report
Through years of training exceptional talents, Professor Zheng has developed his unique teaching philosophy and a special teaching method known as the "Speculative Process Teaching Method," which he has compiled into textbooks. The center invited him to deliver a mathematical teaching report titled "Speculative Teaching Method—A Case Study of Teaching Calculus". The report sparked lively resonance and discussion. Professor Zheng began by introducing the positioning and basic framework of the speculative teaching method, then vividly explained through five cases how to emphasize mathematical speculation in teaching, how to pursue the essence of knowledge, and the cognitive process of constructing a knowledge system from problems.
After the lecture, both sides engaged in inquisitive academic discussions.
