Chapter 122

It has to be said that the educational resources of 985 colleges and ordinary colleges and universities are indeed different.

In addition to President Huang Zhixing, an academician of the National Academy of Sciences, Metalworking University also has four academicians of the National Academy of Engineering, and these are already the best among ordinary colleges in Jiangsu Province.

But the University of Science and Technology of China is different. Whether it is an academician of the National Academy of Sciences or an academician of the National Academy of Engineering, there are more than the two of Metalworking University combined, and there are dozens of them in total.

Moreover, the identity of Zhang Mingjie who is standing in front of Zhou Ming and praising him is also unusual. He is not only an academician of the National Academy of Sciences, but also a founding academician of the HK Academy of Sciences. His research fields are mainly structural biology, biochemistry and molecular biology.

In fact, the research that Zhou Ming is about to conduct on "Accurate Prediction of Protein Structure by Artificial Intelligence" has something to do with one of Zhang Mingjie's research directions.

If the technology of using artificial intelligence to accurately predict protein structures had been created more than ten years ago, then the structural biologists at that time would probably have been unemployed. After all, in that era where X-ray crystallography was the main method In this era, it is not easy for structural biologists to obtain the structure of the research object. They can only take "obtaining the structure" as the goal before they can continue to "understand life" and "make biological discoveries." "Go up.

When Zhou Ming's artificial intelligence that can accurately predict protein structures is developed, although these structural scientists will indeed be affected to a certain extent, they can explore deeper aspects on this basis.

"However, although you made two research results in September, based on these two points alone, even if we apply to the higher authorities to make you a professor in our School of Biological Sciences, the higher authorities will not agree. However, you can Start as a lecturer first, and then produce one or two results, and publish several papers in top journals such as "Nature", "Cell", and "Science", and it will definitely be a matter of time before you become a professor." The Zhang The dean said to Zhou Ming again.

"Dean Zhang, I also know my current situation. The number of papers I have published in the field of biology is too small, and the research results are only a few, which cannot be compared with the achievements in mathematics. I understand what you said.

I'd better wait for the degree certificate and graduation certificate to come out first, and it won't be too late to think about the latter things later. "Zhou Ming said to the dean Zhang without being humble or overbearing.

In fact, what Zhou Ming said was purely polite after the degree certificate and graduation certificate came out. He never thought of accepting the idea of ​​accepting the School of Life Sciences of HKUST to hire him as a lecturer.

Seeing that Zhou Ming didn't agree to be a lecturer at the Academy of Life Sciences, Zhang Mingjie could probably guess what Zhou Ming meant. He probably didn't like the position of lecturer anymore, so he didn't say anything more about it.

After the defense was over, when Zhou Ming walked out of the defense room, a group of students outside the defense room immediately moved out of the way, and no one came forward to talk to Zhou Ming.

In the end, the two girls ran up to Zhou Ming with pens and paper.

"Zhou..." Among the two girls, one has shoulder-length short hair and the other has a ponytail. The girl with shoulder-length short hair is speaking now, but this girl just wanted to ask Zhou Ming to sign their names. At that time, only one word came out of his mouth and he didn't know what to say. He was wondering whether to call him Professor Zhou Mingzhou or Senior Zhou.

"Which courtyard do you belong to?" Zhou Ming said to them with a polite smile when he saw the two girls coming to him for autographs.

Although Zhou Ming is now a well-known figure in the school, he has never met many people who come to him for autographs.

Zhou Ming's smile gives people a feeling of spring breeze, coupled with his young face, it is really easy to fascinate people.

And these two girls are actually not very willing to call Zhou Ming a professor, not because they think Zhou Ming is not worthy of the position of professor, but because they think calling Zhou Ming a professor is calling him old.

It's just right to call the senior.

"We are from the School of Life Sciences." After hearing Zhou Ming's question, the two female students immediately stated their colleges in unison.

"Since you are from the School of Biological Sciences, then call me senior." Zhou Kou said again.

"Senior Zhou, can you sign for us?" The girl with short shoulder-length hair who spoke first heard what Zhou Ming said, and immediately asked Zhou Ming again, and handed the pen and paper to Zhou Ming come over.

Zhou Ming took the pen and paper from the girl's hand, and signed his name in a hurry. Then another girl also handed the pen and paper to Zhou Ming, and Zhou Ming also signed his name.

……

The School of Mathematical Sciences of HKUST is on the East Campus, but the Department of Life Sciences and Medicine is on the West Campus. The two campuses are neither far nor close, and there is a middle campus that is not too big in the middle.

When Zhou Ming was doing experiments before, he almost always stayed in the West Campus. After all, the West Campus was his main battlefield at that time, and he didn't need to do research or go to classes in the East Campus, so naturally he went less.

But after the experiment was over and the results came out, Zhou Ming went to the East Campus more often after finishing his work at the School of Biological Sciences. Nothing.

Now that the defense is over, Zhou Ming took some time to finish some other things, and then went back to his office in the East Campus.

When Zhou Ming returned to his office, his buttocks hadn't warmed up yet, so Li Mingzhi, the dean of the number hospital, found him here.

"Hehe, the defense is over? How is it? Is it successful?" After knocking on the door of Zhou Ming's office and hearing Zhou Ming's voice calling to come in, Dean Li walked into Zhou Ming's office with a smile on his face. Asked Zhou Ming kindly.

"The defense just ended." Seeing Dean Li coming, Zhou Ming immediately stood up to greet him.

"I really didn't expect you to graduate so soon. I thought that no matter how talented you are, it will take two or three years to graduate." Dean Li continued to smile and said to Zhou Ming , and sat on the sofa in the office with Zhou Ming.

"Is Dean Li coming to see me today for something?" Zhou Ming also directly asked Dean Li why he came. After all, Li Mingzhi is not a big idler. Zhou Ming and Dean Li went to a farmhouse for dinner together last time. After that, they seldom saw each other alone.

This time, Li Mingzhi came to him as soon as he finished his defense. He must have been paying attention to his defense all the time. That's why when he returned to the office on the East Campus after his defense, he would call Run over to find yourself.

"I really don't go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing. Since you have already guessed that I came to you this time to find you something, then I will not beat around the bush and open the skylight to speak honestly. In fact, I came this time to Let me tell you about the teaching." Seeing that Zhou Ming directly asked if he came to see him for something, Li Mingzhi didn't bother to beat around the bush, and directly explained his purpose to Zhou Ming.

"Teaching? Isn't it already almost November? Those students have been taking classes for two months, how come there are still classes for me to teach?" Zhou Mingyi heard Li Mingzhi say that he came to see him this time. Regarding the teaching, he was also curious.

The only thing Zhou Ming could guess was that the class was not taught for the whole semester, but only started in the second half of the semester, and only lasted for half a semester.

But even for this kind of class, it is impossible to take it as soon as you say it, and you need to choose a class beforehand.

"It's not the classes of ordinary undergraduates and graduate students, but the classes of the Junior Class Academy, which is the traditional model of the Junior Class, teaching first-year freshmen." Li Mingzhi explained.

Although the junior class is already an undergraduate education, it is indeed not considered an ordinary undergraduate.

The current juvenile class academy of HKUST is different from the past. It is now composed of three parts of students.

The first type of students is the junior class students recruited according to the traditional model. They are non-fresh high school graduates under the age of [-]. They first take the national unified college entrance examination, and then pass several re-examinations, including psychological quality, learning ability, Comprehensive quality test including social skills, etc., for final admission.

The second type of students are the students of the "Innovative Pilot Class" of the juvenile class. Generally, this class is called an innovation class by the outside world. Participate in the comprehensive subsidy admissions examination, and admission will be based on merit.

The third type of students is the science experimental class, also known as class 00, which is selected from the students admitted in the general college entrance examination. In fact, the outside world no longer regards them as juvenile classes. 00 class, but they can still enjoy the welfare policy of the Junior Class Academy.

No matter which of the three types of classes you recruit into the junior class, after entering the junior class, the training plan is completely the same.

第一种少年班和第二种创新班则一般统称为少创班,他们的区别也就在于少年班的年龄要求是出生日期晚于16年前的1月1号,而创新班的年龄要求是出生日期晚于17年前的1月1号。

If your age meets the requirements, you can apply for the first type of juvenile class and the second type of innovation class at the same time, and you will be admitted to whichever you pass.

In addition, there is another difference between the two is that the junior class focuses on the results of the college entrance examination, while the innovative class focuses on the results of the mathematics and physics exams organized by the University of Science and Technology.

The juvenile class that Li Mingzhi and Zhou Ming are talking about, strictly speaking, refers to the first kind of juvenile class that recruits students from the juvenile class according to the traditional model.

"Shouldn't the juvenile class start early? Why would you let me go now?" Zhou Ming was a little puzzled. Although the situation in the juvenile class was a bit different from other people, it couldn't answer the question Zhou Ming mentioned earlier. The juvenile class did It's been a while since school started, and the classes that should be taken are also on the right track.

"They are all freshmen who have just come in. Their mathematical analysis teacher, Mr. Niu, is sick and hospitalized. Although it is not a serious illness, the mathematical analysis course for the junior class cannot be left behind, so I want you to fill in for the sick one." After the teacher recovered from his illness, he was asked to continue teaching." Li Mingzhi explained to Zhou Ming.

Hearing Li Mingzhi's explanation, Zhou Ming also nodded, expressing that he understood.

"I wonder where that teacher taught mathematical analysis? When will I go to class? What is the specific content of the lesson? I'll make some preparations first. Otherwise, I'm worried that the teaching will go beyond the outline and they won't understand." Zhou Ming nodded slightly. After nodding, he asked Li Mingzhi again.

Mathematical analysis is a basic course for mathematics majors, which is different from the advanced mathematics taught by ordinary undergraduates.

In terms of content alone, advanced mathematics includes non-basic proof limit theory, unary differential and integral, arc differential, multivariate differential and integral, elementary ordinary differential equations, series, space analytic geometry, vector algebra, etc.

Mathematical analysis includes real number theory, limit theory, one-variable differential and integral, multivariate differential and integral, series, etc.
The content of advanced mathematics is more extensive, but the research of advanced mathematics is relatively simple and focuses on application, and the difficulty is not as difficult as a few points.

For example, in the "Limit and Continuity" of the first lecture of advanced mathematics, several definitions of limit are only mentioned, but several definitions of limit in fractions need to be taught emphatically.

"Don't worry about these, I have prepared them for you. I specifically asked that teacher Niu to find out where he taught, and borrowed his textbooks and some lecture notes, but these are still in the It's in my office, I'll bring it to you later.

In fact, another very important reason why I asked you to go to the youth class for Mr. Niu is that these students are not very old, the youngest is 14 years old, and the oldest is 16 or 17 years old. Your age is ours. These people are the closest to them.And they are geniuses, and so are you, I think you should be able to get in touch and communicate with them more. "Li Zhizhi first explained the teaching to Zhou Ming, and then explained another reason why he asked Zhou Ming to give mathematics analysis to the youth class for Teacher Niu.

What Li Zhizhi said is correct. Although the current youth class certainly does not have as many prodigies as there were decades ago, the students who enter the youth class must be very smart. If nothing else, just say Most of them have engaged in competitions, and they are all about mathematics, physics and chemistry.

"As for the class time, I think the sooner the better, they will have a math analysis class this Wednesday. After that, I will give you the practice method of Teacher Niu. After you have his contact information, you can ask him directly if you have any questions. With that said, Li Mingzhi began to take out his mobile phone, he rummaged through the mobile phone, found out the schedule of the junior class for this semester, and handed the mobile phone to Zhou Ming.

"Look, this is their class schedule. I'll send you a copy later. If you're not free on Wednesday, you can find a time. It can be a time when they don't have classes, or you can communicate with other teachers. It’s okay to change it. Anyway, you will teach in the future, and this temporary teaching of the youth class can just help you get used to it in advance.” Li Zhiming said.

At this time, Zhou Ming was looking at the juvenile class schedule on Li Zhizhi's mobile phone, while listening to Li Zhizhi's words.

I have to say that the teenagers in the junior class have a lot of classes in the first semester, not only a lot, but also complicated.

Mathematics courses include mathematical analysis, physics courses include mechanics, chemistry courses include chemical principles and general chemical experiments, and there are also a series of courses such as computer programming courses, basic physical education courses, and English-required courses.

 Two chapters in one.

  Plus, it's gone today.
