The consultation room did not even have a single empty seat.
The third-year students preparing for the graduate entrance exam are all focused on studying.
Next to the podium, sat Jin Ling University mathematics department professor Tang Zhiwei. He put the newspaper in his hand down and began to carefully look at the question on the concept paper. His right hand flipped the pen cover over and over again.
Lu Zhou stood next to him. He clearly understood that this small gesture meant that he was in his deep mode of thinking.
"Where did you get this question?" Tang Zhiwei asked suddenly after staring at the draft paper for a long time.
"The textbook mentions the Fourier series, so I went to the library to find related material. I found a variant of Fourier's inversion theorem and several applications for the variant. I tried to take it down and get stuck on this one step," Lu Zhou said with an apologetic smile. His face was full of gratitude.
Tang Zhiwei looked at Lu Zhou for a moment before looking back at the draft paper. He put down the pen cover and took out a piece of chalk. He walked next to the blackboard and paused for a moment. He then reached out his hand and began compiling the questions on the board.
Lu Zhou stared at the blackboard with great focus. Perhaps it was because he had already done his homework for this type of question, he found himself able to keep up with the pace of the teacher.
The sound created by chalk on the podium caught the attention of third-year math students who were studying. Every now and then, they would look up and stare blankly at the formula written on the board before looking down quickly.
Emm …
What they write
Time passed slowly and without them noticing, the entire whiteboard was full.
Tang Zhiwei wrote from the left corner of the blackboard all the way to the bottom right corner. He stopped writing and looked at Lu Zhou before asking, "Do you understand this part?"
Lu Zhou looked at the blackboard attentively and nodded, "I understand."
Tang Zhiwei raised her eyebrows as she asked, "Do you really understand?"
Lu Zhou said, "I completely understand."
Tang Zhiwei did not say much and started removing the whiteboard with an eraser. He picked up the chalk and continued writing on the board. He changed his judgment about Lu Zhou's character.
He hated two kinds of students. The students were asking for extra grades and the fake students were deliberately asking him very difficult questions.
Especially the latter, as it was purely a waste of time!
He was obviously not interested in mathematics, yet he acted like he was doing research. It's disgusting! People like this just want to be close to the teachers. They completely forgot the point of learning.
Tang Zhiwei was writing the finishing part and only had a few lines left. He suddenly stopped and looked at Lu Zhou before asking with a laugh, "I'll finish writing here. You should understand, right?"
Lu Zhou nodded, "I understand .. Thank you, Professor!"
Chen Yushan sat in the corner of the front row seat. He silently observed the two people on the podium. He heard back and forth the conversation "Understanding?" “Understanding.” His face had a confused expression on it.
What do you mean understand, understand?
What exactly communicates the two?
Chen Yushan realized that with his ability, he could never understand their conversation. Suddenly, he felt hopeless about his own mathematical abilities.
Maybe ... I'm actually a bad student?
Tang Zhiwei heard Lu Zhou reply and laughed. He carefully put the chalk back on the table and sat down. He opened the vacuum tube and drank tea. He then slowly said, "Do you really understand? Then why don't you finish writing down the steps."
Understand? My ass!
When I'm writing, you're standing there like an idiot. You don't even make notes. If you really understand it, I will eat this cup!
Lu Zhou looked at Tang Zhiwei's expression and he suddenly understood. The professor doubted whether he was really paying attention. He's testing her!
Lu Zhou did not know whether he should laugh or cry.
Honest to the gods! I totally understand!
He also doesn't know why. When Professor Tang broke on the board, the equation line felt very familiar. It was as if he had seen them before, but he could not remember where.
Perhaps it was because he exchanged the system's general points for knowledge and then covered this information? Or because his mathematical experience increased and it increased his intuition of mathematics?
In short, he really understood it.
Lu Zhou did not know the exact reason, but it was clear that Professor Tang did not plan to resolve this question. Professor Tang looked at him casually to perform. He couldn't mess up his chances of successfully submitting a thesis next semester.
With a confident smile, Lu Zhou walked towards the blackboard with chalk in his hand.
Professor Tang's eyebrows shot up when he thought that there was no way this little boy could complete his steps.
There is no road .
Definitely not possible!
Although he had already written down most of the proof steps, the last few steps of proof were not something that a freshman could do! Even his master's disciples had to go through the steps several times before they could understand him!
Time passes slowly. From his initial state of admiration, Professor Tang's feelings immediately turned into shock before eventually becoming a feeling of approval.
All the doubts he had were like snow in the spring. It melted as soon as the sun shone on it.
After Lu Zhou wrote down the last symbol on the blackboard, he looked back at Professor Tang. Professor Tang nodded in agreement and said, "Not bad .. Well written."
The last few steps are a little different from his method. It was a little more complicated, but still quite sophisticated. This showed that not only did Lu Zhou understand what he was saying, but he also incorporated his own thought process into it.
This ability is valuable.
It turns out he misjudged …
"It was still thanks to the help of the teacher. If I do this myself, there's no way I can finish it until this step .." Lu Zhou apologized smiling.
He didn't lie about this part. The calculated steps of the system have a lot of proof "a \= b". That doesn't really explain why a is equal to b.
He asked Professor Tang for an explanation of exactly the evidence.
"No need to be humble with me. I can see your skill level" Professor Tang said. He closed the lid of the vacuum tube and continued to ask, "What class are you in?"
"First grade. Year one. Lu Zhou," Lu Zhou replied honestly.
"Lu Zhou ..." Professor Tang repeated it several times as if he was trying to remember this name.
It turned out that this student was named Lu Zhou …
Chen Yushan sat in the corner. He silently listened and nodded. Suddenly, he sensed that something was wrong and he immediately noticed it.
First, first year ?!
Chen Yushan blushed as he remembered calling him senior. His entire body was like an ostrich as he placed his head on the table.
Chen Yushan was not the only one who was shocked. Some of the senior female students sitting in the front row also looked at this junior student intensely. Their hearts were beating like a flock of sheep.
How smart are the new students today?
How can we compete?
"Will be testing soon, right? How's your revision?"
"I'm almost done with revising. I just want to learn something else," Lu Zhou said with a forced smile.
"Ah, it's a bit insulting for a person like you to take that test," Tang Zhiwei said. Smiling, he asked jokingly, "How about I make a special test for you?"
"Please don't! I'm gonna die!" Lu Zhou replied jokingly.
"What's? How can the exam kill you? I can't believe it" Tang Zhiwei said. He evaluated Lu Zhou before nodding in agreement and saying, "Not bad, not bad at all. I rarely praise students. If you are not in the first year, I'd like to talk to the academic office and take you under my wing to do research . "
"Teacher, you talk too much about me. I still have a lot to learn. If I really do research with you, I will drag you down," Lu Zhou replied. She knew that Professor Tang was joking so she was humble in her answer.
Tang Zhiwei criticized him, "Stop! Don't give me all the polite things. People in academia should focus on doing academics. Don't give people false courtesy."
Although he had no doubt that he was being criticized, Lu Zhou knew that Professor Tang was not angry. Professor Tang taught him as did his own student.
When this old man was angry, he would definitely smile. For example, when he wrote on the blackboard earlier and thought that Lu Zhou was pretending to know what was going on, he must have been very angry.
"Teacher, you're right. I understand."
Seeing Lu Zhou's sincere expression, Tang Zhiwei relaxed his tone and nodded his head. He kept saying, "It's good that you have an interest in math. Hope you can continue to maintain this interest. Also, your field choice is good. Although it is not a popular field, it is one that people can easily succeed in. If you have a good idea, don't be afraid to do it. If you don't understand some of the sections, just read or ask. This is how academia is built. Who knows, you could come up with something no one else has thought of before. "
Professor Tang paused for a moment before continuing, "The mathematics department of Jin Ling University is not very strong, but our physics department is excellent. Fourier transform is used in spectrum analysis, data compression, and orthogonal frequency sharing and fairly wide applications. If you become an expert in this field, I believe that when you are in your fourth year, the Professor of Physics from next door will definitely want you. "
Professor Tang laughed and continued, "Learn more, read more, practice more, research more. I'll stop babbling. Go and think for yourself. I'll stop wasting your time."
"Thank you, professor! I will definitely remember the words that came from the bottom of your heart," Lu Zhou replied sincerely.
"Don't give me that false courtesy. Didn't I just tell you this? Just say thank you, then leave. Do you need me to send you?" laughing Tang Zhiwei.
Lu Zhou smiled. He picked up a concept paper and pen before walking out the door. He even closed the door behind him.
Tang Zhiwei looked back at the blackboard and sighed. His heart was deeply touched by it.
No wonder Jin Ling was one of the ancient capitals of the Six Dynasties and the birthplace of astounding people.
With Jin Ling University standing on this dragon pulse, it would truly produce talented people!
The undergraduate students are fucked. They saw a blinding equation on the board. When they looked back at their own exercise books, they felt incapable.
Have I ever studied at a university....
