Features: The author wrote this book, "The Way of Scientific Research—A Teacher's Notes," primarily to organize and summarize the problems he has observed, thought about, and recognized as a supervisor in the cultivation of undergraduate and graduate students since 1978. This includes the successes and failures in guiding graduate students' learning and thesis work, as well as the path he has taken in scientific research. These "notes" are essentially the author's continuous reflections during the years of guiding research, mostly focusing on conference methods, learning methods, thinking methods, and writing methods, and they cannot be considered comprehensive or systematic. The author's hope is that the issues raised in this book will spark everyone's interest, serve as a stepping stone for further discussion, and receive guidance from teachers and experts, so that we can work together to improve the cultivation of undergraduate and graduate students.
