But to his utter surprise, Professor Adrian Jeremy directly pulled out a Mathematics notebook filled with writing and began asking him for guidance.
At the time, it had been less than two days since Dark had finished compiling Mathematics V, and only five days since he had completed Mathematics IV.
Dark had originally assumed that Mathematics IV was still in Professor Bacon's hands at the time. Therefore, he had been extremely surprised when Professor Adrian Jeremy began asking about knowledge from Mathematics IV.
It was also then that he learned from Professor Jeremy that Lily had made numerous copies of Mathematics IV the moment she obtained it and distributed them one by one to the professors who had read Mathematics III.
For a fee.
Mathematics IV was fundamentally different from Mathematics III.
Mathematics III consisted of roughly twenty percent middle-school mathematics and sixty percent high-school mathematics.
Mathematics IV, however, consisted of forty percent high-school mathematics and sixty percent Olympiad mathematics.
The difference lay in that sixty percent of Olympiad mathematics.
For professors encountering Olympiad mathematics on such a broad scale for the first time, it was indeed rather difficult.
Adding Olympiad mathematics was highly beneficial for expanding students' mathematical thinking and improving their cognitive abilities.
However, the main reason for including more than half a book's worth of Olympiad mathematics in Mathematics IV was actually to divide the upcoming advanced mathematics material between Mathematics V and Mathematics VI.
He had considered this long ago. Advanced mathematics, simply put, was university mathematics.
For the students of Saint Marian Academy, studying advanced mathematics was not absolutely necessary.
Moreover, although Saint Marian Academy used a six-year curriculum, its theoretical instruction was actually concentrated in the first five years. The sixth year was primarily devoted to practical instruction, making it unsuitable for incorporating overly
