眼下很多学生和家长在愁文书写作，快报君今天给大家找来一篇文书范文。作者通过这篇文书收到了哈佛、耶鲁、麻省理工学院、哥大和弗吉尼亚大学的录取。我们在忙于申请，作者本人在哈佛忙于课程和作业(他学的是机械工程)。

　　在这篇文书里，作者将自己对音乐和数学的热情融入文字当中，解释了这二者如何塑造他的生活，如何使他更快乐。

　　下面，我们来看看这篇神奇的文书是怎么写的。

　　I think about the converging waves of the notes I play, the standing waves being created by plucking a string, and the physics behind the air pockets being forged that eventually find a listening ear whenever I sit down to play my bass. Thus, my passions of math and music synergistically become more together than they could ever be apart. I started thinking about this when a former math teacher of mine approached me one afternoon and asked me if I was interested in giving the induction speech at the Mu Alpha Theta induction ceremony. Being a member of the honor society and recounting the memorable induction speech given the year prior at my own induction, I wholeheartedly agreed. I decided on the topic of music and math because I play upright bass in the orchestra and electric bass in the jazz ensemble and being a math enthusiast, it is impossible for me not to see the mathematics and physics present in music.

　　At music’s core, math is present in the tempo and rhythm of a piece, with the time signature being represented as a fraction and the tempo being represented by a numerical value in beats per minute. The relationship between the two gets even more intriguing when applied to actual notes being played. The best sounding music is that which uses flawless mathematics. It is common knowledge that each note has a letter name—A through G—but also has a number value, measured in hertz. An A4 for instance is 440 hertz. In Beethoven’s “Moonlight Sonata,” there exist triads in triplet form. These triads are made up of D, F#, and A. Since sound is a vibrational energy, notes can be graphed as sine functions. When the triad notes are graphed, they intersect at their starting point and at the point 0.042. At this point the D has gone through two full cycles, the F# two and a half, and the A three. This results in consonance, something that sounds naturally pleasant to the ear. Thinking about this opened my eyes to all the aspects of my life with which I utilize math to enhance.

　　There is also an incredible amount of unseen math present in football. At 5 foot 10 inches and 160 pounds with pads on, I fall short of the average player at my position who is usually at least 6 feet tall and well over 200 pounds, so applying math to football is intellectually stimulating, but is more importantly a survival mechanism. When I have to go up against an opponent who is over twice my size and looks like he eats freshmen for lunch, brute force is not on my side and it helps having equations for momentum and attack angle running through my head. Math not only helps me survive, but also thrive. As an opponent running back is darting down the sideline with seemingly cheetah-like speed, I can trust that my angles and velocity will allow me to make the play and possibly save a game-changing touchdown. Or when a ball is sailing through the air caught in the stadium lights, I can picture a projectile motion problem with constant acceleration downward and a near constant velocity in the x-direction, and know that I have a leg up on the player next to me who does not think about it the way I do. When I look at aspects of my life in a math context, they make more sense and make things that I love even better and more enjoyable.

　　看完文书范文，我们再想想加州大学文书怎么写。11月30日是加州大学申请截止日期，今年加州大学文书进行了改革，申请人需在8个文书问题中任选4个作答，每题回答字数不超过350字。改革后的文书具备以下四个特点：1.考察学生的角度更广更全面、2.更重视申请人的学术能力、3.对学生个性化程度提高、4.对语言组织能力要求更高。

　　今年加州大学的文书题目如下：

　　1. Describe an example of your leadership experience in which you have positively influenced others, helped resolve disputes, or contributed to group efforts over time.

　　描述一次体现你领导能力的经历，通过这次经历，你对其他人有什么积极的影响?解决了哪些问题?或者对团队做出了哪些贡献?(领导力)

　　2. Every person has a creative side, and it can be expressed in many ways: problem solving, original and innovative thinking, and artistically, to name a few. Describe how you express your creative side.

　　每个人都有创造性的才能，表现的形式也不尽相同。通过解决问题、原创作品、创新思维、艺术手法等都能展现一个人的创造能力。你的创造力是如何展现出来的呢?(创造才能)

　　3. What would you say is your greatest talent or skill? How have you developed and demonstrated that talent over time?

　　你最强的天赋或才能是什么?在过去的时间里你是如何培养和展示这项才能的呢?(天赋、才华)

　　4. Describe how you have taken advantage of a significant educational opportunity or worked to overcome an educational barrier you have faced.

　　描述一下你是如何在一次重要的接受教育的机会中获益，或者如何自己找到方法来克服在学习中遇到的困难。(学业)

　　5. Describe the most significant challenge you have faced and the steps you have taken to overcome this challenge. How has this challenge affected your academic achievement?
