Chapter 16 In the Entire First or Third Session, No One Can Surpass Them!

At ten in the morning, the laboratory building, the mathematics department office.

Sitting at his desk, Professor Tang, who was meticulously staring at the computer screen, was revising his thesis.

Every time he saw the logical calculation and argumentation process, his heart couldn't help but feel emotion. Even though with a critical eye, he wanted to find out the loopholes and let the kid take it back and revise it, he actually felt that he had no idea what to do.

The discussion is complete, and no line of arithmetic is superfluous.

All I can do is to help him make some corrections in the words and sentences of the thesis and some parts of the English grammar.

"The future generations are terrifying." With a sigh in his heart, Professor Tang Zhiwei leaned back on his chair.

Just then, the office door opened.

The visitor neither knocked on the door nor said hello. This rude behavior made Professor Tang frown, but after seeing who that person was, his brows stretched again, and a smile appeared on his face.

Lu Fangping, the dean of the Mathematics Department of Jinling University, is not only a colleague, but also an old friend and classmate.

"Old Tang, why is the phone turned off? I called you for a long time and couldn't find anyone." When he entered the door, Lu Fangping greeted him with a smile.

"Heh, I have to turn off the computer every year after the exam. You don't know it." Looking at Professor Lu Fangping who came back, Tang Zhiwei smiled, leaned on the chair, picked up the thermos cup and took a sip Tea, the old god is saying, "Aren't you very busy recently. Why, do you have time to drop by today?"

Sitting down on the sofa in the office, Lu Fangping said with a smile, "Don't I have something to ask you for help? I won't invite you here!"

"You old man is very thick-skinned. Someone asked me for help to carry two cases of wine. You asked me for help without even handing over a cigarette. What a favor, no help!" Tang Zhiwei scolded with a smile.

"Aren't you the most annoying of this? If I bring something, I'm afraid I won't even be able to enter this door." Lu Fangping said with a laugh.

Tang Zhiwei smiled: "Okay, let's talk about the joke here, don't go around in circles, just say anything if you need my help."

Lu Fangping patted his thigh and said, "Hey, isn't there going to be a National Mathematical Modeling Contest this September? What the courtyard means is that we should try to get together as many teams as possible, hand in hand with the software institute next door, shoulder to shoulder. Together, we strive to win a few more national first prizes, which can be regarded as a win for the college and for our school!"

By the way, it can also be regarded as a bottom line for the year-end teaching and research assessment.

If the car overturns, the entire Dashu College will not even be out of the country, and it will be very embarrassing to have a meeting?

Of course, Director Lu naturally wouldn't say these things.

"You want to... let me be an instructor?" Tang Zhiwei frowned slightly, "But I'm doing pure theoretical mathematics research. I'm afraid I can't help you with mathematical modeling."

Mathematical modeling and mathematical research both involve mathematics, but they are two completely different things. Whether it is innovative thinking ability or the speed of accepting new things, it is difficult for an old academician like Professor Tang to keep up with the ideas of those young people, and naturally there is no need for counseling.

"No, the teaching team has already been arranged, don't bother you, I just want to ask you to borrow two people to see if you have a few majors with outstanding talent in mathematics and flexible thinking?" Lu Fang Ping said with a smile.

"Oh, that's all. Come on, it's the right time for you to come. I just have a talent to recommend to you. Lu Zhou from the first class, you can use it, you're welcome." Tang Zhiwei smiled road.

"Lu Zhou?" Lu Fangping frowned, "Where did I see this name..."

Suddenly, he remembered, isn't this name the student who wrote the papers in less than half an hour when he was invigilating the high school exam yesterday, and was still completely correct?

But……

He is a freshman!

The National Undergraduate Mathematical Modeling Contest is not a Mathematical Olympiad in the traditional sense. You can do it by handing out a paper. The key test is not the mastery of theoretical knowledge, but the ability of college students to apply theoretical knowledge to solve practical problems.

Moreover, according to the experience of previous competitions, the winning results of the Mathematical Modeling Contest are not completely positively correlated with the mathematics scores of the contestants. On the contrary, students with balanced scores in various subjects can perform better in the competition.

Moreover, due to the wide range of topics in the competition, the freshman players are limited by the breadth of their own knowledge, and it is difficult to play a role in the competition.

Of course, it doesn't matter if you just sign up. After all, the focus is on participation, but Lu Fangping obviously doesn't want the kind of students who "focus on participation".

As for that Lu Zhou, although math ability is not a problem, his knowledge is still too narrow!

"You feel too young?" Tang Zhiwei asked with a smile, seeing what his old friend was thinking at a glance.

"That's right." Lu Fangping nodded, "The software institute still attaches great importance to this collaboration. The contestants they sent are the sophomore computer geniuses who won the national championship twice during high school. I won the first prize in the Huaguo College Student Software Cup during my freshman year. I actually have a few candidates here, but I still want to ask what you mean. My bottom line is at least a sophomore... Do you understand what I mean?"

Lu Fangping felt that he had made his words very clear.

Although the school encourages free formation of teams in principle, it does not oppose the establishment of a regular army led by faculties and departments. After all, winning more national awards is a political achievement for leaders and an honor for the school.

There is such a talented person from the software institute. They don't say whether they value it or not, at least they can't cheat teammates, right? At that time, the "regular army" appointed by the courtyard can't even enter the gate of the national competition, how embarrassing it will be!

Tang Zhiwei smiled and didn't answer directly. Instead, he looked at the computer on his desk and said, "It happens that I have a paper here. Come and take a look."

Lu Fangping was stunned for a moment, not sure what his old classmate meant, but he got up and walked over with doubtful thoughts.

"The optimal inversion theory of linear operators and linear functionals... When did your research direction become this?" Looking at the title and abstract of the paper, Lu Fangping snorted and asked with great interest .

Tang Zhiwei didn't answer, but urged: "Don't ask so many questions, read the paper and give a review."

Filled with doubts, Lu Fangping continued to look down, and the more he saw the back, the more interesting his expression became.

After reading the last line of argumentation, he stopped there to think for a while, then sighed softly and said enviously, "Old Tang, to be honest, I envy you."

"I asked you to give your opinion on this paper, why do you envy me?" Tang Zhiwei laughed.

"You said that the good seedlings of our mathematics department are all monopolized by you alone? It's just an undergraduate student, and the same is true for the graduate students." The more Lu Fangping thought about it, the more unwilling he became. come out of this level of graduate students.

Hearing this sentence, Tang Zhiwei laughed, but Lu Fangping, who was laughing, was at a loss. He didn't know what his old friend was laughing at?

"Graduate student? Hahaha! This thesis was written by that boy Lu Zhou! Guess what happened yesterday? I asked him where he planned to submit his thesis? He even told me to submit to AMC! Fortunately, I gave it to him. Stop it, or wait for this kid to read a blog later, and then look back at this paper, I am afraid that I will hit the wall with regret." Tang Zhiwei said with a laugh.

Lu Fangping was completely bewildered. He looked at the papers on his laptop, and then at his old friend. After a while, he coughed dryly and said in an uncertain tone, "I said Lao Tang, there's no need to tease me like that, right?"

"I'm not joking with you," Tang Zhiwei looked at his old friend and said in a serious tone, suppressing the smile on his face, "He completed the argumentation process of this thesis by himself from start to finish. The guidance is limited to the explanation of a few of the difficult points of knowledge. It is the questions he asked me that convinced me that these papers are all from his hands. The only thing I helped him revise was just the wording and sentence construction of the paper. Regarding the core part and final conclusion of the thesis argument, I can't even pick out any faults, except for my emotions. Although this kid has a utilitarian personality and is a little impatient in his work, he can't hide his flaws. He is a rare good seedling. You have to ask me Whoever recommends to join the regular army of our school, I will definitely push him. Whether it is thesis skills or mathematics skills, no one in the first or third class of Jinling University can come out on top!”

A good one that no one can beat!

How many students in the first or third class of Jinling University did you make? Even the head of my department doesn't know that!

However, Lu Fangping could not refute it.

Especially after seeing this paper, all the doubts in his mind about the ability of the student named Lu Zhou collapsed in an instant.

If Tang Zhiwei hadn't told him, he would even think that this paper was written by a graduate student, even at the level of a doctoral student...

At least in the field of functional analysis, he has reached heights that are impossible for undergraduates.

Lu Fangping coughed lightly: "I... have nothing to say. The job of persuading him to sign up will be left to you."

"You can rest assured, that kid listens to me. Don't rush to leave. I'll call him and make it clear now." Tang Zhiwei said after making a ticket, and then he reached out and picked up the desk on the phone.

It is a rare opportunity to participate in this kind of national competition as a "regular army" in the hospital. If nothing else, when the award comes back, the leaders of the department know your name, and the scholarship for the next four years will definitely not run.

In line with the principle that fat water does not flow to outsiders, Tang Zhiwei also wanted to settle this matter earlier, so he called Lu Zhou in front of the department head.

"The user you are calling is out of service area, please try again later... beep beep."

Phone off?

Tang Zhiwei froze for a moment, frowned and hung up the phone.

"What is this kid doing? I don't answer the phone. I'll tell him back."

Lu Fangping is not in a hurry at all, he has to decide on this talent!

Regardless of the amount of knowledge, the foundation of this paper alone is enough to qualify for the competition. The standard configuration of the three-person mathematical modeling team is programming + modeling + thesis writing. He is all-round in both thesis writing and mathematical modeling. Then the competition is stable!

As for whether Lu Zhou would refuse, he was even less worried.

But any college student will not refuse such a good opportunity.

Thinking of this, Lu Fangping smiled and said, "That's fine, I'll leave this to you. I still have something to do, so I won't bother here."

"Don't worry, I'll give you an answer before tomorrow." Tang Zhiwei said with a wave of his hand.
