Scholar’s Advanced Technological System

Chapter 264: Mathematics is Interesting

Princeton University, Library.

On the table, Hardy held his eyebrows in a headache, his voice screaming painfully.

“That man is a demon, an impossible task to accomplish… Is there really a human being who can do this in a month and a half? ”

In front of him, there were six references, including Hardy's "Introductory Guide to Numerology" and Dillicule's "Numerology Lecture", which went from shallow to deep. It's not just about mathematics, it's about generalized analysis, algebraic geometry, differential topology.

Although before coming here, considering the mentor's name, Hardy had done a lot of prep work, he didn't expect so many learning tasks to await him as soon as he walked through the door.

Fortunately, he made some preparations or he wouldn't even be able to touch the door right now.

Qin Yue, sitting across from Hadi, calmed down a lot. At least he didn't think about the "can it be done” unrelated to the discipline. He carefully cooperated with the printed literature and studied the "Numerology Handout" in hand.

Though he doesn't turn books fast, he wins in endurance.

From the beginning to the present, it has barely stopped.

Sighing, Hardy gave up completely and asked headaches.

“Qin, are you Chinese professors so horrible? ”

Qin Yue: “Terror? ”

Hardy nodded seriously: "Yes, when I was in Brazil, my math grades were always the number one in our high school, and everyone thought I was a genius. At Columbia University, I've seen a lot more than my geniuses, but what's in the curriculum is still easy for me, and it doesn't even take a lot of time to do it. ”

Speaking of which, Hardy sighed with dismay: "But by the time I got here, I even began to doubt life...”

Qin Yue also didn't know how to comfort the young man. He pushed his glasses. He was embarrassed and laughed. “Probably because this is Princeton? ”

To be honest, the professor of Kaiju isn't that strict.

But that's what he's been through for four years, and he's used to it.

“Professor Princeton could never have been so strict, and I asked the dean who played soccer with me yesterday, and Professor Ark was definitely an example.” Hardy shook his head, paused for a moment, and suddenly something occurred to him. He asked seriously, "Speaking of which, Qin, I noticed you've started reading the second book. Do you have any skills? Or have you studied these things before? ”

“No,” Qin Yue shook his head, “I was also the first to touch these things. ”

At best, like him, he did a similar prep before he came.

Hardy said in an incredible tone: "It's impossible! Wait, you're not going back to your bedroom and still reading, are you, God... how much time do you spend studying? ”

Qin Yue thought about it and replied: “In addition to eating and sleeping? ”

Hardy: “…”

The topic doesn't seem to continue...

……

Six books in a month and a half do have a lot of difficulty, and when the task is set up, the Ark actually knows that.

So, when he develops training programs for his students, he sets expectations to be less effective. That is, as long as they are able to digest half of their knowledge points, they can be counted as having passed.

With regard to the remaining knowledge points and the consolidation and enhancement of knowledge already acquired, it is possible to learn slowly when participating in specific research topics.

After all, there is a certain lag in what is in the book. In other words, it is only used to get started. It involves research in frontier fields. The references are basically peer-to-peer literature. Instead, there will be less use for what is in the book.

What the Ark did not expect was that less than a week after entering August, someone had completed their task ahead of schedule.

Having heard the news, his mood could no longer be described by surprise.

It's a surprise…

Looks like he picked up the treasure.

“... your talent is amazing. I thought you could make five or even four of these ten questions. It seems like I underestimated you. ”

Moving his gaze away from the paper in his hand, the ark looked at Vera, standing opposite his desk, expressing satisfaction.

He asked all the questions himself, and it was impossible to go back on the answer. Ten questions, though not particularly difficult, could all be done correctly, and there was no doubt that she had completely eaten up the knowledge points in those six books she had arranged.

Suddenly he was praised, and Vera smiled slightly, modestly.

“I read four of the books you gave me when I was at Berkeley and I was probably lucky. ”

“It's not a question of luck,” Ark put the paper on the table and smiled, "Congratulations on passing my exam. From now on, you are part of my project group! ”

Vera's face had a smile of joy, which was exactly what she had dreamed of.

Paused for a moment, the ark continued, “I'll send you an email about the subject. Though it won't be official until September, you can think about it in the meantime. It's an interesting proposition, I'm sure you'll be interested. ”

Vera nodded seriously, and the golden single-horse tail was shaking gently like a squirrel tail.

“I see. Anything else? ”

The ark shook its head and said, "No, you can go back first. ”

With her things in her bag, Vera was happy to say goodbye to Ark Road and turned around and walked out of the office.

Looking at the slightly thin shadow, the ark suddenly remembered something and said.

“By the way, one more thing. ”

Vera, who walked to the door, stopped and threw her confused gaze back at the ark.

“I may be a little embarrassed, I hope you don't mind,” pulled the drawer, took a document out of it, put it gently on the table, "I learned that your financial situation might not be very good, so I asked about the scholarship from Princeton University. Take this and fill it out. You better give it to me tomorrow. I'll get it for you. ”

Doctoral scholarships are relatively easy to obtain, but master's scholarships, especially full awards, are difficult to obtain.

Generally, unless you have followed a very impressive mentor or received a very impressive letter of recommendation, you will receive a half prize at most.

Especially in places like Princeton, where bullshit grabs a big hand, and one is better than another, competition can hardly be described in harsh terms.

Looking at those amazing and incredible eyes, the ark paused for a moment and continued.

“I hope you don't delay your education because of the financial burden, especially if you don't wash dishes and work as a cheap workforce in places like fast food restaurants. I'm not saying there's anything wrong with that, I just want you to always remember that your knowledge is your greatest asset. If the prize isn't enough, I can help you apply for a part-time job as an assistant professor, starting with some basic jobs. ”

I took the material from the boat and Vera lowered her head and did not speak for a long time.

Her little hand held tight to the material, her eyes slightly reddened and suddenly bowed deeply to the ark.

“Thanks!"

Without waiting for a foggy ark to react, the little girl turned around and ran out the door, her footsteps gradually wandering away.

The expression is somewhat subtle and bizarre. The Ark carefully recalls what it said earlier, and is certain and certain that it did not say anything offensive.

In fact, because the occasional online chat is always too “straight” by Sister Chen, he now says some important things to think about beforehand.

The ark was a headache when I thought of the little girl's slight red eyes before she left the house.

Obviously did a good thing.

I hope you don't get me wrong...

Otherwise, that's really enough for him to have a headache.

Shaking his head, the ark decided not to think about these troublesome things and took out his phone to look at the time.

It's almost time for lunch.

With a lazy waist stretched, the ark stood up from the office chair and looked at the report on the topic that had been completed on the computer screen. The corner of his mouth was drawn with a smile.

Hail speculation, also known as Corner Valley speculation, the legendary mathematical black hole! It's like a real black hole, devouring all natural numbers.

The prevailing view in modern mathematics was that it was not yet time to solve the problem, but now that Gothenbach's assumptions had been resolved, the theoretical tools that emerged were powerful enough for the Ark to feel like it could be challenged.

Thinking of this challenging challenge, he was full of energy.

Mathematics is interesting.
