Chapter 40 Thinking Too Much, Count First, Then Dream

Su Xiaomu was not stupid, and he understood the underlying meaning of Zhang Ke's words.

He even said that from the very beginning when Zhang Ke asked him to come over, he was a little bit desperate.

In fact, Zhang Ke's academic level is as strong as his crazy receding hairline!
He has conducted in-depth research on cross-information research, algorithm design and analysis, and even mathematical analysis.

For ordinary students who are rooted in computers, algorithms are actually the core of this subject;

It's not about how many programming languages ​​you know, let alone a few certificates that only support appearances.

That's why Su Xiaomu reconstructed the core algorithm of data mining, and Yang Yu, who had a say in the domestic data summit, turned into a well-behaved person in minutes.

Programming language is the form of implementing programming problems. Algorithms can give you better ways of thinking and better solutions. The excellence of algorithms can also make programs run more efficiently.

Therefore, Su Ho has always believed that Su Xiaomu's ignorance of his academic value is also based on these additional judgments.

There has never been someone like Su Xiaomu who has the ability to reconstruct and optimize the algorithm at every turn.

As for the study of cross-information, it is extremely rare for schools other than Tsinghua University, because there is no special course for this subject.

Therefore, Professor Zhang Ke is very outstanding in terms of face and face.

Su Xiaomu said seriously without much hesitation.

"As for the algorithm design and analysis, I am personally very interested. I don't know if the professor has time to give students some guidance in this regard."

Professor Zhang Ke showed a more satisfied smile on his face.

"of course."

That's how it is for scholars.

At the end, Zhang Ke specifically told Su Xiaomu a few words.

"When you are free, you can read Introduction to the Design and Analysis of Algorithms and Algorithmic Puzzles by Anany Levitin."

"You can also visit several ACM websites and do some questions. In the next few days, you can start to form a team with your classmates and prepare to participate in the ICPC Asian Regional Competition."①
Professor Zhang Ke's English is very standard, and his enunciation is very clear.

Su Xiaomu nodded and wrote down one by one.

Although he often visits ACM's zju, pku, and hdu websites and does a lot of questions, it does not prevent him from listening to the professor.

The two books of Algorithm Design and Analysis Basis and Algorithm Puzzles written by Levitin have long been placed on Su Xiaomu's bedside table.

Coming out of Professor Zhang Ke's laboratory, Su Xiaomu was also thinking about a question.

Why don't I do what popular scholars should do?

Am I not a top student?
Am I not talented in algorithms?
neither.

It’s because I am too down-to-earth, too low-key, and too humble!

…………

…………

A total of three hours of high-level language programming: C++ from [-]pm to [-]pm.

For Su Xiaomu, this homework, it can't be said to lie down, it's a bit too crazy.

It can only be said that you can be the first with your eyes closed.

Again, it doesn't matter whether it's the English class, the normal class, or Ben Bo, as long as they are in the same grade, there is no one who can play.

Hundreds of thousands of appearance fees, no joke.

In the afternoon class, it was obvious that some students were more concerned about the selection of tutors.

For example, Li Xingyi.

He stared at Su Xiaomu in a state of hesitation all afternoon. He especially wanted to know whether Su Xiaomu, who had won the fifth place in the world in 64K demo, a completely non-profit competition, would any professor take the initiative? pick.

Mainly, Li Xingyi sent his resume to the professor in charge of data warehouse and data mining, hoping that the professor could be his mentor,
However, the professor made no intention of replying.

As Su Xiaomu's former squad leader, Chen Jiming didn't have so many worries, so he took a chance and asked directly.

"Su Xiaomu, have you sent your resume to the professors?"

Chen Jiming's performance in the class transfer test was not that good and he could barely make up for it. Therefore, he didn't dream much about becoming a mentor.

Su Xiaomu smiled and replied, "Professor Zhang Ke came to me at noon. I think the professor is very nice."

Chen Jiming gently touched his lower back.

Heh, I knew it, it was definitely a prickly answer, and I took the initiative to ask, I really wanted to award myself a medal of courage.

Not surprisingly, there was a sound of exclamation from the side.

"Bow your head to the boss, is it so protruding? Professor Zhang Ke has so few masters!"

"If I remember correctly, last year several excellent master's seniors were rejected by Professor Zhang Ke!"

"Heh, this is Professor Zhang Ke taking the initiative to accept undergraduate students! What do you think! Su Xiaomu will take me with me, and I will be a thief."

"The last sentence of Professor Zhang Ke's mantra is for you: If you think too much, first count the points of the algorithm and a few ICPC district awards, and then dream."

"..."

Li Xingyi at the side silently opened the textbook and read it seriously.

Learning makes me happy, learning makes me excellent, learning makes me separate, and learning makes me mentally retarded.

Ah, MMP!

There is a saying MMP, really held back for a long time!
Su Xiaomu heard everyone's discussion, so he didn't explain much, but made a gesture with a smile.

"Have you signed up for ICPC? Take me with you. I will meet you in various ways."

A few years ago, someone in the post bar of South China University of Technology said that Huagong didn't pay much attention to ACM at all, and asked students to sign up at their own expense. Almost ten years have passed in a flash.

Now the School of Computer Science and Engineering of South China University of Technology is paying attention to at least one piece.

The 42nd ACM-ICPC Finals will be held in Peking University, the capital of China, in the first half of next year.

Now, it happens to be the time for all continents in the world to register and participate in regional competitions in batches.

Of course, South China University of Technology will form many teams to participate.

After Su Xiaomu finished speaking, there was a rare few seconds of silence in the classroom.

The whole world has witnessed Su Xiaomu's excellence, so if Su Xiaomu participates in ICPC, he might actually be able to get a regional medal.

But, there is a problem here, if you are on a team with Shuai, it is doomed that no schoolmates will pay attention to them.

It was a little cold for a while, but Su Xiaomu was not in a hurry.

This kind of thing really requires fate and initiative.

ICPC has a team of at most 3 people, only one computer, and needs to solve 7 to 13 problems within five hours. In addition to a solid professional level, good teamwork and psychological quality are the key factors for winning...

I heard all kinds of comments from everyone, and I remembered my experience of wandering aimlessly in the South China University of Technology post bar.
Su Xiaomu's heart suddenly had some sudden thoughts that seemed to be reunited after a long absence.

He thinks that there are not only international competitions, but also other ways to show the excellence of an ordinary scholar...

①: ACM-ICPC: ACM International Collegiate Programming Contest.
