本文摘录了伊利诺伊大学厄巴纳-香槟分校教授马毅关于如何进行研究的讲座精华。他认为，优秀的研究者应勇于面对自己的恐惧并不断学习，研究是一种热情而非工作，并强调了从设定规则到解决问题的不同研究层次。
Today, I listened a lecture about “How did I learn to do research, or did I?” which was presented by Yi Ma, a professor from University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. I extract some important sentences from his presentation as follows:
§ When he spoke about how to prepare for doing research, he said:
The only way you can improve yourself is to learn things that you are the most afraid of!
§ When he spoke about what is research, he said:
Research is a game for which you get to set the rules, but it can not be a trivial one!
§ When he spoke about how to do research, he said:
Research is not a job, and is more of an addiction.
§ When he spoke about four levels of research, he said:
Knowing what to do is more important than knowing how.
§ When he spoke about what is good research, he said:
You recognize a good research result if it keeps you up all night, feeling like your first date.
§ When he spoke about what is engineering research, he said:
A good engineer needs not to be a good researcher; a good researcher needs not to be a good engineer.
§ When he spoke about what does doing research feel like, he said:
Research is to have faith in you can make the world better!
Four levels of research:
§ Research assistant
§ Homework like research
§ Formulate you own problem and solve it
§ Formulate problems for others to solve
He gave some “avoids” in doing research:
§ Think research is only for genius;
§ Think yourself is a genius;
§ Think you need to know everything about the subject in advance;
§ Think you should wait for the most important problem to work on;
§ Think a solution is correct just because you can not find anything wrong.
