The principles of science class in the afternoon is a course that Wayne relatively likes.

The difference between it and basic science courses is that

The former requires you to remember which things and scientific principles were invented or discovered by whom and when, and what social and historical impacts they had.

The latter will take you to learn the "principles" themselves, try to understand and learn to apply these scientific principles in practice.

Wayne himself called it "comprehensive science class."

For students in the seminary, this course only requires a passing grade, which is not a big burden.
However, for students majoring in some specialized science disciplines in other colleges, this course is an important prerequisite course in which they must obtain a grade of "good" or above.

Professor Cook, who was in charge of the science principle class, was a humorous bald old man. He was said to have made great achievements in the research of steam equipment.

Therefore, his classes are relatively relaxed and easier to understand.

“For the relationship between steam flow and specific generated pressure, we can use this empirical formula to make a rough calculation - rest assured, this formula is not within the scope of the exam.

"For ease of calculation, we can assume that pi is equal to 4. The excess is considered as error and engineering margin, and then we can simply cancel it out. Maybe math professors will be angry when they see this step, but we don't care.

"From the practical results, although this empirical formula seems a bit unreasonable, the relationship between the variables is indeed roughly like this. The specific principles can be left to researchers to prove. We just need to know that they can indeed have a direct impact."

The scientific development of this world is roughly in the early to middle stages of the Steam Age. The technology in firearms and ammunition is slightly advanced, and the differential engine is said to be beginning to show signs of development, but the progress in electromagnetism is lagging behind.

Unfortunately, Wayne doesn't know much about that stuff. If he tries hard to tinker with generators and light bulbs, he might have a chance, but to tinker with telephones and telegraphs is too beyond his capabilities.

When talking about mathematics, Professor Cook expanded on this a little bit.
Halfway through writing on the blackboard, he turned around and glanced at the students in the classroom, "Which one is Mr. Wayne Constantine?"

——Based on the equality and respect of personality, professors and teaching staff in colleges and universities usually address students as "Mr." or "Ms." On the contrary, they will only address students by their first names when they are more familiar with them.

Wayne raised his hand honestly, somewhat puzzled.

Professor Cook glanced at Wayne, smiled, and continued writing on the blackboard:

"Mr. Wayne, I think you need to be careful next time you have math class.

"Professor Maisel cursed your name many times when he was marking your homework yesterday. He hadn't left his office until I came to class today. The frequency with which he called your name today was second only to that of the Holy Spirit.

"I think you've shown more potential than I do when it comes to making Professor Maisel angry."

Once again, the students laughed quietly in class because of Professor Cook.

After Wayne heard this, he imagined the scene in his mind and felt a little uneasy...

what?
It's just someone writing the homework for me. According to school rules, I will just fail the course and have to retake it. It shouldn't be that serious, right?

……

I feel like the college has something going for it in terms of course arrangement.
After the relatively relaxing science principle class, the next class was the serious theology and philosophy class. It was a bit of a balance between tension and relaxation.

The philosophy of theology class teaches the various debates on theological theories of different denominations in history and reality.

The mainstream Holy Spirit belief faction in the American Federation today is the Holy Spirit Church. Naturally, it mainly criticizes and refutes some of the theories of the Holy Spirit Church in the Old World.

But there are actually some theories that can stand on a unified position among them.

For example, regarding whether the Holy Spirit is "omniscient and omnipotent", there is a classic paradox: "Can the omniscient and omnipotent Holy Spirit create a stone that it cannot lift?"

If we only look at it from the perspective of theological speculation, this paradox has actually been refuted in several different ways in the theological community, and the time can even be traced back to the so-called "Middle Ages".
However, not everyone understands this, and not everyone thinks the refutation is reasonable enough.
Anyway, in Wayne's opinion, if he brought this issue back to Blackrock Town, it would probably confuse many townspeople.

A "half day" in the college usually only arranges one or two courses.
After finishing the theology and philosophy class, Wayne rubbed his dizzy head. Today's classes were temporarily over, and all that was left was to review, preview, and do homework.

Go back to the dormitory to put your things away first.

As soon as Wayne walked into the public lounge area on the first floor of the dormitory, he saw Lina and Emma surrounded by students.

Today, the two beautiful blonde girls, one big and one small, were wearing the same style of dresses. They looked quite eye-catching, and many students couldn't help but approach them.
Fortunately, Lina did not say that Emma was her daughter this time, and used the excuse that she was her younger sister. Therefore, the other roommates no longer regarded Wayne as a beast, and their expressions were mostly envious.

"Why are you here?"

Wayne asked casually as he led Lina and the others towards the dormitory.

Wayne wanted to touch Emma's little head, but he was a little afraid that this little girl might be naughty, so he just held her hand and walked with her.

This little Loli has been hanging out with Lina a little too often recently, and hasn't learned anything good. But last night she gave Seth Grayson a big scare.

At that time, Seth just touched Emma's little head, and then her head fell down with a "pop", and it broke into a dark red piece of flesh and rolled to the side.
After that, Seth became much more obedient and would take a few more glances before eating a piece of barbecue at the table.

"Inesa and I are at the Art Academy. We've signed up for a piano training course with a professor. It's convenient for us to go in and out of the academy, and we can also keep an eye on Seth. Inesa is still reviewing the introductory fingering with Miss Olivia, so I came over first."

When she arrived at the dormitory, Lina seemed quite curious about the environment and looked around.

"Has there been any progress with Seth?" Wayne asked.

"It's still early," Lina opened a textbook, then quickly threw it away in disgust and switched to the next one, "but Ryan and the others are already acting according to Seth's plan. Today, they have begun to monitor the students who regularly enter and leave your college church."

Emma was quite interested in the calculus series. She flipped through a few pages at random, then went back to the beginning and started reading from the beginning.

Wayne thought about it, and then found the new math homework assigned by Professor Maisel yesterday:

"Emma, take a look. Can you do this kind of exercises?"
