It was ten in the morning in the math department in the research building.

Professor Tang sat at his desk and stared at his computer screen. He is editing his thesis carefully.

He read arguments and logical calculation processes. He could not help feeling astonished. Even though he carried a pair of criticizing eyes and wanted to find fault for asking Lu Zhou to correct it, he felt like he didn't even know where to start.

He finished examining the thesis and did not find a single unnecessary calculation.

The only thing he can help with is editing and improving sentence structure and English vocabulary.

"The young one will soon surpass us," Professor Tang Zhiwei said as he leaned back in his chair.

At the right moment, his office door was open.

The person did not knock or greet him. This type of disrespectful behavior was what made Professor Tang frown. However, after seeing who it was, he relaxed and his face slightly smiled.

It was Lu Fangping, head of the mathematics department of Jin Ling University. Not only was he Tang Zhiwei's co-worker, but he was also her friend.

"Old man, is your phone broken? I called and no one picked up, Lu Fangping said as he walked in with a smile.

“Ah, I have to turn off my phone every year after the exam. You know this, " replied Tang Zhiwei as he looked at Professor Lu Fangping. He leaned back in his chair, picked up a cup of warm tea and asked, “Are you not busy lately? What are you doing here?"

Lu Fangping sat down on the office sofa and said, “Well, I need your help. That's why I came! "

“A very thick skin! Everyone brought me booze when they needed my help, and you didn't even bring a cigarette. I'm not helping you! "Tang Zhiwei said jokingly.

“Don't you hate that kind of thing? If I bring something, I won't even be allowed to enter, ” Lu Fangping said with a laugh.

Tang Zhiwei smiled, “OK, let's end this joke here. Stop kidding and just tell me what you need with my help. ”

Lu Fangping slapped his thigh and said, "Ah, we have this national mathematical modeling competition in September. The department wanted me to set up several teams and work closely with the computer science department. I want to try and get some national gold medals, and get honor for our department and school! ”

It was also to improve its annual teaching and research assessment.

If they failed, and the entire math department didn't even win a single gold medal, how embarrassing would the meeting be?

Of course, Dean Lu knew not to mention it.

"You want ... You want me to be an advisor coach?" Tang Zhiwei. He frowned, “But I did research on pure mathematics. I'm afraid I can't help you with these mathematical modeling things. "

Mathematical modeling and mathematical research sound similar but in fact, they are in a completely different field. Whether it was the ability to think innovatively or absorb new information, it was difficult for Professor Tang to keep up with the youngster's brain development. There was no hope for him to train them.

“No, I'm done organizing the teacher team. I'd just like to borrow two people from your subjects. Are there people who are very talented and quick in math? ”

“Ah, is that him? Okay, this is a good time. I've got someone to recommend you to. Maths grade 1, Lu Zhou. Go and take him. No need to thank me. "Tang Zhiwei said with a smile.

"Lu Zhou?" Lu Fangping frowned, "I think I've seen his name before ..."

Suddenly, he remembered. He found a name while he was navigating in a math exam yesterday. Students who finish in half an hour and get all the answers right.

But…

He's new in his first year!

National mathematical modeling competitions are different from traditional Olympic mathematics, where they only give you test papers. It was to test students not for their theoretical understanding, but their ability to apply theory into real-life situations.

Also, based on the results of previous competitions, students who scored high would not always excel in the competition. The students are successful in all subjects, who perform well in the competition.

In addition, the competition has a variety of possible questions. The knowledge base of first-year students is limited and difficult to use in competitions.

Of course, there is no harm in applying. The important part is participation. However, Lu Fangping did not want those "participation" students. He wants a competitive student.

As for Lu Zhou, although his mathematical abilities were good, but his knowledge base was too narrow!

"You think he's too young?" Tang Zhiwei instantly knew what her old friend was thinking, so she laughed.

"You're right," Lu Fangping nodded. He then said, “The computer science department appreciates this competition. They donated a second-year computer genius, who won two national computer competitions during high school, and won a national software competition when he was a first-year student. I've actually already had a few people in mind, but would like to ask for your opinion. I think I will need a minimum of second year students ... You understand my point? "

Although in principle, schools should encourage students to form their own teams, schools will not object if the department head chooses to form a super team. After all, receiving more medals would be an achievement for the heads and it would bring honor to the school.

The computer science department is genius. Even though he said he cared deeply, he still could not send responsibility. If the time comes and their "super team" doesn't even make it to the door of the competition, how embarrassing it is!

Tang Zhiwei laughed. He looked at the computer on his desk and said, “I have a thesis here. Come and see. ”

Lu Fangping was stunned. He doesn't know what his partner is doing. However, he was still walking, carrying a hint of suspicion.

"Optimal Reversal Theory Linear and Functional Linear Operators ... When did your research direction become like this?" Lu Fangping asked excitedly as he read the title of the thesis.

Tang Zhiwei did not reply. Instead, he simply urged her and said, “Stop asking. Read this thesis and tell me what you think. ”

Lu Fangping was full of questions, but he continued reading the thesis. The more he read, the more interested he became.

After reading the final process of the argument, he stood there and thought for a while. He then jealously said, "Old tang, honestly .. I envy you."

"I'm asking you to critique this essay, why are you envious?" Laughing Tang Zhiwei.

“Our math department has so much talent, how can you monopolize this one? Not only do you have genius undergraduate students, but even your graduate students are also very smart. "The more Lu Fangping thought about it, the less it contained. Why can't he train students at this level?

Hearing this, Tang Zhiwei laughed out loud. This made Lu Fangping very confused as he did not know what his old friend was laughing at!

"Graduate student? Ha ha! This thesis was written by Lu Zhou! Guess what happened yesterday? I asked him where he was going to submit this essay, and he dared to say AMC! Thank goodness I stopped him. If she had graduated with a PhD, she would have regretted it, "tang Zhiwei laughed.

Lu Fangping was completely confused. He looked at the thesis on the computer and then looked back at his old friend. He paused for a long time before asking in an uncertain tone, "Old Tang, why are you pranking me like this?"

"I'm not bullying you," Tang Zhiwei said. He stopped smiling and looked at his old friend before saying in a serious tone, “Thesis and this argument process is completely done by himself. I explained some hard parts to him. The question he asked me, confirmed that this was his own work. The only part I edit is the sentence structure in the thesis. As for the core part of this thesis, and the final argument, I cannot find a single mistake in it. Although the personality of the child was rather practical and he was impatient, he actually had an incredible talent. If you want my recommendation for someone to enter your "super team" I would wholeheartedly recommend him. Whether it was his thesis writing skills or mathematics, no undergraduate student at Jin Ling University could defeat him! ”

He's better than anyone else!

Do you know how many undergraduate students there are at Jin Ling University? A dean like me doesn't even know!

However, Lu Fangping was unable to refute.

Especially after reading his thesis, his doubts about Lu Zhou's abilities soon disappeared.

If Tang Zhiwei had not told him, he would have thought this thesis was written by a PhD student.

This student has reached an impossible level in the field of functional analysis.

Lu Fangping said quietly, "I .. don't say much, it's up to you to convince him to join."

“Don't worry about that. The boy listened to me. Don't go first, I'll call him and explain the situation to him, "tang Zhiwei said confidently. He picked up the phone at his desk.

Representing the department's "super team" in a national competition is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If you win, the Dean will know your name and the four-year scholarship will definitely be yours.

Tang Zhiwei did not want to give an empty promise. He decided to do it now. Therefore, he called Lu Zhou in front of the dean.

"The number you contact is not in the service, please call again later ..."

Is the phone dead?

Tang Zhiwei stopped. He nodded and hung up the phone.

“What is this boy doing? He didn't even pick up the phone. I'll talk to him later. "

Lu Fangping was not worried. He must have wanted the kid!

The knowledge base doesn't even matter. He earned the right to this competition from this thesis only. The three-person team for the competition will have one person for coding, one for mathematical modeling, and one for writing the thesis. The child himself can do the modeling and writing of the thesis. The competition is in the bag!

He was also sure Lu Zhou would accept it, so he was not worried at all.

No student would turn down this type of valuable opportunity.

Lu Fangping laughed and said, "OK, thank you for the help. I've still got a few things to do, I won't bother you anymore. "

"Don't worry about it, I will respond to you tomorrow," Tang Zhiwei said as he waved his hand.
