補習學生說要放棄 M1（高中數學選修單元一），無論栗頭如何勸說，誓死不聽。不過，要放棄也並非一說即成，在等待批核期間，她還是要如常上課計數。
這天，她拿著一堆關於貝葉斯定理 (Bayes' Theorem) 的題目前來詢問，未讀過 M1 的栗頭，唯有硬著頭皮跟她一起讀例題學解。奇妙地，栗只讀了一題，便已完全明白，然後跟學生做了兩題，她便有能力獨自完成所有習題。
學生：「嘩，密斯，我識計啦！」
栗頭：「都話咗唔難架啦。記住，只要想做，一定做到！」
真的，只要意志夠堅定，沒有事情是辦不到的。

I remember Bayes conditional probability...the beginning stuff is not hard, then it gets harder....
回覆刪除[版主回覆03/04/2012 08:51:09]That's what my student told me. She dropped the subject in the end.
Speaking of Bayes, have you checked out the Monty Hall Paradox? It's kind of Bayes, but then.....maybe....... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monty_Hall_problem
回覆刪除This one may be easier to understand the St Petersburg Paradox I told you about earlier.
[The Teacher回覆03/06/2012 08:53:50]You look like the kind that could study anything by yourself. When it comes to conditional, after the basics, you need to know your calculus well to go on.
[版主回覆03/04/2012 22:35:48]I heard of it. And yes, it's easier than the St Petersburg Paradox!
Teacher, do you think I can study conditional probability all by myself? I find this topic quite interesting.
