Mathematics Specialized Middle School 2
Description
Book Introduction
The massive secret surrounding artificial intelligence Pippi is revealed.
Mathematics Specialized Middle School is a place for gifted students in mathematics that was established 10 years after the closure of Korea Science High School.
The school begins to come alive with the arrival of its first batch of quirky freshmen.
The main characters are Jin No-eul, a computer genius and cute troublemaker; Im Pa-rang, the math god and tsundere; Heo Ran-hee, No-eul's watcher and the one who never cries even when lonely or sad; and Han Areum, a sasaeng fan of the idol group Limit.
While struggling with the math problems thrown at them every day, the children learn of the existence of the secret organization 'Zero'.
As we get closer to zero, the great secret hidden within it is revealed… .
What Zero wants is an artificial intelligence program called PPi that learns and grows on its own.
On the day of the Mathematical Olympiad, Zero hatches a grand scheme to obtain the artificial intelligence program, and the children embark on an unimaginable adventure.
If Volume 1 piqued curiosity by showing the beginning of the incident, Volume 2 begins the real mystery, and the process of children solving problems using mathematical principles comes to the forefront.
Additionally, the story becomes deeper and more exciting as the hidden stories of the characters, the relationships between the characters, the subtle changes in emotions, and the identity of the artificial intelligence, Pipi, are revealed.

'Everything is number.'
This is a phrase written on the last page of the book.
Blue, who was recalling Pythagoras' famous quote, closed the book.
The library was quiet on Saturday, and Noeul and Ranhee hadn't found him yet.
Thanks to that, Blue's weekend was peaceful for the first time in a long time.
Blue walked towards the reading room to read another book.
The library with math and humanities books was rarely used.
Thanks to this, the library's 'A' row, which contained math and humanities books, was like Blue's personal library.
Blue was always interested in the biography of mathematicians, so he always looked at the 'A' column.
It was when Blue picked up a new book to read.
A familiar voice came from the corner.
“Yes, the people who intruded yesterday have not yet been identified.
This is already the second time.
That's probably it.
yes.
I'm watching.
Please be mindful of the boundaries.
Oh, the person we secured last time hasn't spoken yet?
It was Kim Yeon-ju.
He was speaking in a stiff tone, unlike his usual soft voice.
Blue walked cautiously to the 'Na' column.
There was an atmosphere where it seemed like I shouldn't disturb anyone.
--- p.44~45
Noeul quickly turned her head as Ryu Geon approached.
I had to find a place to hide, but behind the sunset there was only a walking path.
There was no visible space to breathe.
Noeul, who was flustered, looked up with a strange feeling and saw Ryu Geon standing there looking at her.
“It’s you again.”
Ryu Geon's face looked as if he was in trouble.
“Are you gun007, teacher?”
He sighed at Noeul's question.
"then?"
Ryu Geon did not answer no.
No-eul thought it would be like that, but seeing that he didn't deny it, she was able to be sure.
At first, I wanted to have a showdown.
But not now.
Even now, Noeul still connects to the school server once every few days.
And every time the sunset came, the security level was raised.
At first I thought it was a provocation, but now I don't.
It feels like I'm guiding Noel's skills to improve little by little.
So these days, my skills have improved to the point where I can break through server security without the help of a hacker.
Instead of eagerly challenging the challenge, Noeul began to reveal the things she was curious about.
"What's your relationship with those amusement park thugs? There were men in black clothes near the school looking for you, teacher."
“Black clothes?”
"yes."
A smile appeared on Ryu Geon's lips.
It seemed right that Zero had started to move.
“We’re playing tag.”
“Are you being chased, teacher?”
“No, I’m drunk.”
"to?"
Noeul, who didn't immediately understand what Ryu Geon was saying, was momentarily confused.
"Well, then you're not the hacker GUN, are you? I don't think so.
“Right?”
Ryu Geon's face hardened in an instant.
It was the most dramatic change of expression Noeul had ever seen.
"well."
Ryu Geon passed by No-eul as if trying to avoid the place.
'What on earth is it?'
--- p.78~79
Ranhee remembered that the server room was on the second floor, so she circled the ventilation shaft and climbed up the ladder.
It was a makeshift ladder installed for repairs and cleaning, but there was no problem climbing it.
As she climbed up to the second floor, thick dust awaited her.
“Etch.”
Ranhee's sneeze echoed through the narrow ventilation shaft.
The sound was louder than she expected, so she covered her mouth with her hand and rolled her eyes.
Fortunately, no one seemed to hear.
The old dust accumulated in the ventilation duct was bothering her.
'madam.
What the heck is this?
'It's a new outfit.'
Ranhee crawled through the narrow ventilation shaft on her elbows.
The musty smell and dust made her frown repeatedly.
She continued to move towards where the light was streaming in.
But soon I couldn't help but feel frustrated.
I could see the outside scenery, but there was a large propeller spinning fiercely.
It seemed like there was no way out.
'What kind of building is this?'
Ranhee turned around and crawled in the opposite direction.
In this situation, there was no other way than to go around the ventilation shafts and find where Noeul was.
'Oh my, my knees.
How much further do we have to go?'
That was the moment.
Suddenly the floor collapsed.
Ranhee fell straight down.
“Ah!”
Ranhee let out a single scream and covered her mouth with her hand.
My right arm was throbbing and sore, as if it had fallen off first.
But there was no time to suffer for long.
Ranhee looked around, enduring the pain.
Fortunately, this time no one seemed to notice.
Ranhee carefully got up and checked again where she had fallen.
It seemed to be a warehouse, judging by the piles of junk.
She stepped over the stack of boxes and went back into the ventilation shaft.
Although I had made up my mind, I was starting to get a little anxious.
'I'm sure it's in the server room?'
I moved cautiously, afraid that the floor would collapse again.
But as I fell, I felt like I lost my sense of direction and was spinning around.

As we get closer to zero, the great secret hidden within it is revealed… .
What Zero wants is an artificial intelligence program that learns and grows on its own.
On the day of the Math Olympiad, the children become embroiled in an unimaginably huge incident.
■ A math novel perfect for the free semester system has appeared!
The hot topic in the education world these days is the free semester system.
The free semester system is a flexible curriculum system that allows students to be free from the burden of exams for one semester during middle school, improve class operation to be student-participatory, such as through discussions and practical training, and enable a variety of experiential activities.
The goal of the free semester system is to give students the initiative in class, allowing them to solve problems through communication and collaboration with their peers, integrate existing knowledge, and cultivate the ability to consider new possibilities.
In short, the purpose of the free semester system is to allow students to learn the principles of learning in their daily lives, rather than just memorizing formulas and reciting answers.
The "Mathematics Specialized Middle School" series is the math novel that best fits the free semester system.
A KAIST engineering student and a novelist met and, after three years of preparation, published the first volume of “Mathematics Specialized Middle School” in December 2015, and the second volume in April 2016.
The old mathematics of mechanically solving problems faster and in greater numbers by rote learning according to standardized formulas is meaningless.
Instead, we need to quickly shift to math relevant to real-world situations, aligned with a storytelling math curriculum that demands comprehension, problem-solving, and creativity.
《Mathematics Specialized Middle School》 helps students naturally discover the mathematical principles hidden within novels by moving and solving problems alongside the characters in the novel, moving beyond the confines of desk math.
Through this process, you will encounter everyday mathematics rather than the mathematics in textbooks and naturally learn the necessity of mathematics.
Mathematics education experts advise parents to foster their children's ability to connect everyday life events to mathematics and to foster interest and self-directed learning.
The most important thing to achieve this is ‘motivation’.
Motivation and interest in math begin not through academies or workbooks, but through healthy empathy that connects to children's daily lives.
In that sense, "Mathematics Specialized Middle School" will serve as a practical and interesting guideline for current middle school students and especially for upper elementary school students who want to prepare for middle school mathematics in advance, and will also serve as a good guidebook for teachers preparing for the free semester system.
■ The best math novel written by a KAIST brainy guy and a novelist
Author Lee Yun-won, who planned this book and was in charge of the mathematics section, graduated from the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering at KAIST.
After graduation, I was accepted to graduate school at KAIST and Seoul National University, but I boldly gave up on entering graduate school because I wanted to jump into something unique and unconventional that no one else had done before.
After thinking about ways to share what I've learned with others, I decided to create a unique genre of content that would allow people to experience the joy and excitement of learning.
《Mathematics Specialized Middle School》 is the first result and is scheduled to be published in three volumes.
Author Kim Joo-hee, who was in charge of the story, is currently solidifying her position in the world of serialized novels on Naver.
Through this book, author Kim Joo-hee created characters so charming and lively that they could immediately form fan clubs.
Comical, romantic, and mysterious events unfold without pause around them.
The tightly packed and captivating storyline, which includes a strange love triangle, the competitive nature of middle school students, and mysterious incidents that will make you explode with curiosity, is enough to capture the hearts of teenagers.
It faithfully reflects the middle school mathematics curriculum, from prime factorization to magic squares, Fibonacci sequences, and equations, within a solid novel line, making it a good guide not only for current middle school students but also for prospective middle school students who want to experience middle school mathematics in advance.
The mathematical knowledge presented in this book is not one-sidedly taught, but rather is explained step-by-step, focusing on principles from the learner's perspective, so anyone can read it comfortably and without burden.
The illustrator also plays a large part in bringing this book to life.
Noxi, an illustrator who is gaining popularity among the younger generation for her vivid game characters and sophisticated illustrations, has depicted the main characters in a delicate and accurate manner.
The best mathematical novel that satisfies not only the mind but also the heart and eyes has been born.
