Chapter 69: How Many Advanced Math Problems Have You Solved to Achieve This?

Lynn, with just a few brief sentences, brought Ailock down from heaven to hell. All the students present shivered uncontrollably.

"Advanced math is an extremely precise subject. We need to search for patterns within a vast and complex array of data, summarize them into corresponding formulas to simplify the algorithms and improve the overall efficiency of calculations," Lynn said, surveying every person in the classroom. She paused for a moment before continuing.

"While Elloc's summary of patterns is not entirely wrong, it has too limited an application. If the exponent growth within the squares can be 2x, it can also be 3x, 5x, or 10x! This makes the pattern no longer valid..."

"However, this exponent summation formula applies to all exponent growth that meets the criteria!" Lynn snapped her fingers, and under the surge of magic, the complex formulas once again appeared before everyone.

q≠1, Sn=a1(1-q^n)/(1-q)

Jonny, Pierce, and the others stared at the so-called exponent summation formula, pondering it deeply. Then they picked up quill pens and began to calculate, creating sequences of 2, 3, 4 times, searching for patterns and attempting to plug them into the formula.

With Ailock's previous summary in mind and deriving from q≠1, Pierce quickly realized that the symbol referred to the exponent's multiplier. But why subtract 1?

Pierce bit his finger and plugged in the initial 2x growth pattern, ignoring the (1-q) part and proceeded with the calculations. He found that it worked perfectly, but the resulting number was negative.

So, did the latter part of the formula transform negative numbers into positive ones? But if it was a 3x exponent growth, the result wouldn't make any sense...

Pierce's brain raced, and he felt he was on the cusp of a breakthrough. What could it be?

Inside the entire classroom, students were all engrossed in their work, some scratching their heads, some pulling their hair, but not a single one chose to slack off.

Is the studying atmosphere at the Iyeta Magic Academy always this intense?Witness the debut of this chapter, unveiled through Ñôv€l--B1n.

Lynn found it a bit strange. These people were really passionate about learning.

It was rumored that Ailock had spent a sleepless night doing math problems and found that he had increased his control over magic by around twenty percent the next day. This news had caused quite a stir at the Iyeta Magic Academy. So, this morning, any wizard apprentice without class came to hear what miraculous power this so-called advanced math class possessed. She was naturally no exception.

The conclusion was quite clear; complex and intricate math problems could effectively enhance their mental faculties. The process of logical deduction, searching for and deciphering numerical patterns, was also interesting, at least more so than the tedious meditation.

Jonny paid no attention to the black-haired witch's words. She gazed back in the direction of the classroom, deep in thought. In the past six months, how many advanced math problems had Lynn done within the Society of Mystical Arts to achieve her current accomplishments...

...

"The ability to control magic can actually be improved by doing math problems?" Lynn couldn't help but hear the students' discussions, and it took her somewhat by surprise.

However, upon closer consideration, it made sense. Her significant increase in power through a mental connection with an AI resulted from the overload mode substantially enhancing her computational power or, in other words, her mental strength.

This was crucial for wizards, as their ability to control magic was closely tied to the strength of their mental power. What frustrated Lynn was that this happened to be her blind spot in knowledge.

At least the process of forming magical patterns was somewhat similar to building muscle memory through repeated practice. For instance, picking up a glass from the table and taking a sip required determining the distance, calculating the right angle and force to grasp the glass, and finding the most natural arc for lifting it to your lips.

Under subconscious control, such a complex process could be executed instantaneously, without any hindrance. Spellcasting was no different. With extended practice, a mere thought could unleash incredibly complex magic.

But there was a prerequisite – the wizard's mental strength had to be substantial enough to provide sufficient computational power. Otherwise, the spellcasting process would be prolonged, revealing vulnerabilities.

Thinking this over, Lynn rubbed her chin, contemplating whether to solve a few calculus problems for herself...

Who knows, it might actually be beneficial?
