Xueba's life simulator

Chapter 183 Graduate Students

These students who came to see Zhou Ming to participate in the summer camp of the University of Science and Technology, after meeting Zhou Ming in Zhou Ming's office, asked Zhou Ming the same questions and said the same thing.

Finally in the afternoon, when Zhou Ming was about to leave the office, Li Mingzhi said to him again: "See you tomorrow."

After saying goodbye to Li Mingzhi, Zhou Ming went back to his residence.

On the 26th, at the opening ceremony of the summer camp at the School of Mathematics of the University of Science and Technology of China, the host of the opening ceremony was introducing the leaders and professors who came to the opening ceremony to the students participating in the summer camp.

After the routine opening ceremony process in the morning, the exam began in the afternoon.

After Li Mingzhi walked around below, he pulled Zhou Ming out of the lecture hall and said to him, "Is it a little difficult for you to answer this test question? I think it's been half an hour, and many students have just finished writing mathematics." The four questions of analysis, and some of the four questions of mathematical analysis have not been finished yet."

"Haven't you read the test paper before? I thought they had already shown you the test paper before making sure." Zhou Ming asked in surprise after hearing Li Mingzhi's question.

The exam questions for the summer camp at the University of Science and Technology this time were written by Zhou Ming.

The exam time is two hours, and the topics of the exam are a bit extensive.

There are four questions on mathematical analysis, four questions on linear algebra, two questions on functions of real variables, two questions on functions of complex variables, and two questions on modern algebra. The first ones are almost all proof questions.

"No, after you handed over the completed test papers to them, they used them directly." Li Zhiming said.

Anyway, now that the questions are out, and they have already been distributed to these students, it is useless to say more, so we can only pay attention in the future, and try not to let Zhou Ming come up with the exam questions.

Even if Zhou Ming is asked to write the exam questions, they must read them again, and they can't just use them directly like this time.

However, after Li Zhizhi finished speaking, Zhou Ming said to Li Zhizhi again: "I remember that the questions I asked are not too difficult, they are quite simple.

I went to the podium to get a test paper and let's look at it together. "

With that said, Zhou Ming walked back to the lecture hall and went to the podium to take out an extra test paper.

"Whether the bounded convex function on the open interval (0, 1) is consistent and continuous on (0, 1). (If the problem is correct, please give a strict proof; otherwise, please give a counterexample.)
This first question is considered a basic question, and some textbooks have exercises, isn't it difficult? "

Taking this test paper back to Li Zhizhi, Zhou Ming said to Li Zhizhi after reading the questions.

"En." Li Mingzhi just nodded after Zhou Ming finished speaking, hummed lightly, and didn't say much. He was waiting for Zhou Ming to continue talking.

Immediately afterwards, Zhou Ming began to read the stem of the second question to Li Zhizhi.

After reading it, Zhou Ming continued: "This question is to prove that Ω is dense in R, and Ω∩(R/Q)≠..."

“还有这一题……设函数f：[0，1]→R可微，并且f'在[0，1]上恒不为1，若f(0)＝f(1)>1且……”

Zhou Ming explained to Li Mingzhi the four questions of mathematical analysis in one breath, and these four questions were all proof questions.

After that, Zhou Ming continued: "I won't read it later, in fact, these are not difficult."

Li Mingzhi looked at Zhou Ming with a dark face, not knowing what to say.

However, in the end, Li Mingzhi still spoke to Zhou Ming: "The solutions you mentioned do not seem to be that difficult, but you have to know that they are all undergraduates, and they have just finished their junior year. Graduate students, not doctoral students, many of the problem-solving methods you mentioned involve knowledge points they have not even touched, how to solve them?
Take the first question of modern algebra as an example.

Consider the interlaced A4, and the conjugation class C where the element (123) is located, consider the conjugation of A4 on C A4*C→, (gx)→gx=gxg^-1, the stabilizer definition of x∈c ..."

After listening to Li Mingzhi, Zhou Ming thought about it, and it seemed that this question was indeed a bit out of line.

"Mathematics is all interlocking, how can it be so strict and not beyond the outline." Zhou Ming defended himself.

They are chattering here, and in the lecture hall, there are many people who are very upset when they are doing the questions, and then turn the test paper upside down on the top of the first page. After seeing the name of the person who made the question, they immediately understand that the University of Science and Technology Why is the topic of the summer camp of the Shuyuan so difficult this time?

After all, it was published by Zhou Ming. Such a man has published several mathematical papers in the four major mathematical journals in a year, and has also proved the twin prime number conjecture and Goldbach's conjecture one after another. It's easy to understand at all.

Also born in the [-]s, why is there such a big gap between people?

Many people in the examination room couldn't help complaining in their hearts when they thought of Zhou Ming's age this year.

These two hours passed quickly. When the teachers who invigilated the exam said the words to close the papers, there was a lot of wailing in the exam room. How can participating in a summer camp be like taking a college entrance examination?

When they took the college entrance examination before, they never wailed like this.

"This time it is just a simulation so that the school can have a basic understanding of your studies in undergraduate schools, and it will not be the basis for the final decision on whether you can become excellent campers."

Seeing the mention of paper collection, there was a wailing in the examination room, and a teacher comforted him.

The other teacher was a little curious about how difficult the test papers were this time, so he took advantage of the other two teachers' efforts to collect the papers and read some extra test papers on the table.

After glancing at the title of the first question, the teacher thought, "It's not difficult, is it? Why are these students crying like ghosts? Is it possible that the quality of students recruited by our summer camp this year has not increased compared to last year, but has actually declined. ?”

Although he thought so in his heart, the teacher still looked at the three proof questions after the mathematical analysis, and he found that the fourth question was a little more difficult.

However, time has not allowed the teacher to continue reading, because all the test papers have been collected.

At this time, Zhou Ming and Li Mingzhi also walked into the lecture hall.

"It's too hot outside, it's better to be in the lecture hall," Zhou Ming said.

The arrangement of the School of Mathematics is much fuller than that of the School of Biological Sciences. After the exams in the afternoon, it will be too early for today's summer camp to end.

In fact, Zhou Ming's questions focus on the basics, but at the same time, the question types are deepened. The level of the questions can be seen, but some questions are a little too deep.

The time after the afternoon and the time in the evening are lectures by Daniel.

In this great lecture, there are not only super bosses like Academician Li Mingming, the dean of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, but also interesting teachers like Professor Wang Wen, the executive dean of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, who studies flapping dynamical systems and ergodic theory, and others like A young boss like Zhou Ming.

The lectures given by each expert here are not very long, but each one has a different charm.

On the 27th, it was time for the students who participated in the summer camp to introduce themselves, make reports, and communicate face to face.

Nearly ten professors had close contact with the campers so as to let them have a clearer understanding of their future academic plans.

The campers also asked the professors in detail about the research direction, professional depth and employment prospects.

And when those students who didn't come to Zhou Ming's office to find Zhou Ming on the first day of the report, but wanted to choose Zhou Ming as their graduate tutor, when they heard Zhou Ming say that he was going to let his graduate students study the topic, most of them were shocked. Some students are starting to quit.

Good guy, these topics that Zhou Ming mentioned can be done by graduate students like them?If they have this ability, what kind of graduate students are they going to do?Wouldn't it be good to go directly to major universities to become professors?

"Perhaps you will think that you are just students and cannot solve these world-class math problems.

However, what I want to say is that looking at most scientists in the world, they first made great achievements around the age of 30.

Because at that time, the energy is strong, there are less distractions, and the accumulation of knowledge has reached a certain level.

Newton founded calculus at the age of 22, Einstein proposed special relativity at the age of 26, general relativity at the age of 36, and Bohr proposed quantum theory at the age of 27.

Yang Zhenning, 34, and 30-year-old Li Zhengdao jointly proposed the non-conservation of parity, and won the Nobel Prize in Physics the next year...

I don’t accept postgraduates who only study for a master’s degree here. Since you want to come, you are all willing to study for a doctor’s degree.

If you don't do it now, how can you think that your future self will not do it?
If you come to me just to get such a diploma, I don't welcome it here. It is indeed a correct choice for you to quit, whether it is for you or for me. "

Seeing that most of the students were thinking of quitting, he spoke again.

These students were young and at the time when they were young and full of vigor. Zhou Ming’s words made some students’ blood boil with enthusiasm, and a kind of arrogance of “a prince and a general should be kind” and “a man should be like this” was born in his heart, and they shouted one after another. To be Zhou Ming's student.

However, at the end of the summer camp of several colleges, when these campers left HKUST, Zhou Ming also identified a student. This student was the first one who approached his office on the first day of the report, named Jian Chunyu. girls.

"There are so many students, this is the only one you fancy?" Li Mingzhi asked Zhou Ming after all the campers from the summer camp of Shuyuan University had left HKUST.

"Mathematics is different from biology. Mathematics requires more talent than biology. Among this group of people, Jian Chunyu is the only one with good talent, and there are one or two other people who are better than this Jian Chunyu, but they are not talented. she is tall.

After seeing Jian Chunyu on the first day of the summer camp report, I thought that this summer camp should meet at least two or three talented people like Jian Chunyu, but I didn't expect her to be the only one. "

Zhou Ming explained to Li Mingzhi why he had so many people and only chose Jian Chunyu.

"That's fine. Later on, there will be a group of on-campus and off-campus guarantors, and there will be a group of off-campus unified examinations. Anyway, you shouldn't have too many different numbers from the School of Life Sciences. At most, there will be a difference of one or two.

After all, you only recruit a few graduate students a year, one or two a year, and a lot of difference in two or three years. "

Li Mingzhi said.

"I'll try my best, just to see if I can find a good seedling. This is called rather lacking than indulging." Zhou Ming said.

While Zhou Ming and Li Mingzhi were chatting, his cell phone rang.

When Zhou Ming saw the caller ID on the phone screen, Li Mingzhi also glanced at the name of the caller on his phone. It turned out to be Xue Tian, ​​the executive dean of the School of Life Sciences.

After Zhou Ming answered the phone, Xue Tian on the other end of the phone said to Zhou Ming: "Professor Zhou, the official website of our School of Life Sciences has just announced the list of outstanding campers for this summer camp. If those two students haven't contacted you, you can Contact them first, tell them about the books they want to read, and prepare for the experiment after they enroll next year.

The purpose of this summer camp and insurance research is not only to win a group of outstanding students, but also to let the tutors arrange these students in advance. After all, it takes a year longer than those who take the unified examination. , there are many more things that can be done. "

"Okay, I got it. I'd like to trouble Dean Xue to make a special call. Thank you, Dean Xue." After Zhou Ming thanked him, Xue Tian also hung up the phone quickly without saying anything.

"The list of some campers from the School of Life Sciences has already come out? The summer camp should start sooner." Li Mingzhi on the side obviously heard what Xue Tian said on Zhou Ming's phone, so he said to Zhou Ming.

"The girl named Jian Chunyu in the number hospital did a good job. When she left your office on the first day of the report, I thought that this girl would be scared by what you said, so she wouldn't dare to apply for your graduate student again. Well, I didn't expect her to be quite stubborn.

Now that you are interested, whenever you have time, you can directly add her on WeChat or something, and tell her what books you want to read, and what kind of subject you want to assign her.

Your personal information on the official website only contains your email address, and there is no other contact method. They can only find you through email.

You send an email to Jian Chunyu, tell me your mobile phone number, or WeChat account, and add a friend to communicate, but you can’t always communicate by email, right?
And you also said before that for your graduate students, you also have some recommended books for the topics you proposed to them, so you just told her about it.

There is still a year before the start of school next year. During this year or so, apart from doing internships, attending classes, and writing papers, she should also have a lot of time to read books.

By the way, what subject are you going to arrange for her?Is it the unsolved problems that you said that you can solve through the new method you used to solve the twin prime number conjecture and Goldbach conjecture, or that you have not solved yourself like the Collats conjecture? guess? "

After Li Mingzhi told Zhou Ming, he finally asked Zhou Ming again.

"Let's see which aspect she is most talented in. After confirming this, I will arrange a subject for him." Zhou Ming explained.

Although the sun in the sky is still quite bright now, it was already past five o'clock in the afternoon, and Zhou Ming was going to the cafeteria to have dinner later before going to his accommodation.

There should be nothing else going on next month except for the biological experiments, the Collats conjecture, and the Morningside Mathematics Prize.
