New Gods of North America

Wayne relatively preferred the Science Principles class in the afternoon.

The difference between it and the Basic Science class was that:

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

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

Wayne himself called it "Comprehensive Science Class."

For seminary students, this course only needed to get a "pass", without much burden.

But for students in some subdivided science majors in other colleges, this course was an important prerequisite course that must get a grade of "good" or above.

Professor Cooke, who was in charge of the Science Principles class, was a humorous bald old man, who was said to be quite accomplished in the research of steam equipment.

So his class was relatively easy and more accessible.

"For the relationship between steam flow and specific pressure, we can use this empirical formula for rough calculation - don't worry, this formula is not within the scope of the exam."

"For ease of calculation, we can assume that pi is equal to 4 here, and the extra part is the error and engineering margin, and then directly cancel it out. Perhaps professors of mathematics will be angry to see this step, but we don't care about him."

"From the practical results, although this empirical formula seems a bit unreasonable, the relationship between several 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 cause a direct impact."

The scientific development of this world is roughly in the early to mid-stage of the steam age. The technology of firearms and ammunition is slightly ahead, and the difference engine is said to be showing signs, but the progress of electromagnetics is lagging behind.

Unfortunately, Wayne didn't understand that aspect either. It might be possible to build generators and light bulbs with some effort, but it would be too advanced for Wayne to build telephones and telegraphs.

Speaking of mathematics, Professor Cooke also diverged a little.

Halfway through writing on the blackboard, he turned his head and glanced at the students in the large classroom, "Which one is Mr. Wayne Constantine?"

--Based on personal equality and respect, professors and faculty members in colleges and universities usually address students as "Mr." or "Miss." On the contrary, they will directly call students by their names only when they are more familiar with them.

Wayne raised his hand honestly, somewhat inexplicably.

Professor Cooke glanced at Wayne, smiled, and then continued to write on the blackboard:

"Mr. Wayne, you may need to be careful next time you go to math class."

"Professor Maisel had already cursed your name many times when he was grading homework yesterday, and he hadn't left the office until I came to class today. The frequency with which your name was mentioned today was almost second only to the Holy Spirit."

"In terms of making Professor Maisel angry, I think you have shown stronger potential than me."

The students were once again amused by Professor Cooke in the classroom with low laughter.

After hearing this, Wayne imagined the scene in his mind and felt a little guilty...

Huh?

It's just asking someone to write the homework, according to the school rules, it's just a matter of failing the course and retaking it, it shouldn't be so serious, right?

...

The college's curriculum arrangement feels like it has some thought put into it.

After the relatively easy Science Principles class, the next one is the serious Theology Philosophy class.

It has a bit of a balance between work and rest.

The Theology Philosophy class teaches the various speculations of different sects on theological theories in history and in reality.

The Holy Spirit Church, the mainstream Holy Spirit belief faction in the American Federation today, naturally focuses on criticizing and refuting some theories of the Holy See of the Old Continent.

But in fact, there are some theories between them that can stand on a unified position.

For example, on the point of 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 only from the perspective of theological speculation, this paradox has in fact had several different refutation methods in theological circles, and the time can even be traced back to around the so-called "Middle Ages".

But not everyone knows about this, and not everyone thinks that the refuted remarks are reasonable enough.

Anyway, in Wayne's opinion, if he brought this question back to Black Stone Town, he probably could still confuse many townspeople.

A "half day" in the college usually only arranges one or two courses.

After finishing the Theology Philosophy class, Wayne rubbed his somewhat dizzy head, and today's coursework was temporarily over, and the rest was reviewing, previewing, and writing homework.

First go back to the dormitory to put things down.

Wayne had just walked to the common lounge area on the first floor of the dormitory when he saw Lena and Emma surrounded by students.

Today, these two big and small beautiful blond girls were wearing the same style of dresses, which looked quite eye-catching, and many students couldn't help but strike up a conversation.

Fortunately, Lena didn't say that Emma was her daughter this time, and used the excuse of being her younger sister, so the other roommates didn't regard Wayne as a beast again, and their expressions were basically envy.

"Why are you here?"

Wayne asked casually while taking Lena and them towards the dormitory.

Wayne originally wanted to touch Emma's little head, but he was a little afraid that this little loli would be naughty, so he just held her hand and walked together.

This little loli has been hanging out with Lena a little too often recently, she hasn't learned anything good, but she scared Seth Grayson a lot last night.

At that time, Seth just touched Emma's little head, and then her head "slapped" and fell off, and immediately fell into dark red pieces of meat and rolled to the side.

After that, Seth became much more honest, and he had to take a few more glances before eating a piece of grilled meat at the dining table.

"Inessa and I signed up for a professor's piano training course at the art college, which is convenient for entering and exiting the college, and also to keep an eye on that Seth. Inessa is still reviewing introductory fingering with Miss Olivia, so I came over first."

When they arrived at the dormitory, Lena seemed quite curious about such an environment, looking around inside.

"Is there already progress on Seth's side?" Wayne asked.

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

Emma was quite interested in the books on calculus sequences. First, she flipped through a few pages casually, and then she flipped back to the very beginning and started reading from the beginning.

Wayne thought for a while, and then found the math homework that Professor Maisel had assigned yesterday:

"Emma, take a look, can you do these exercises?"
