Wang Hao is not only preparing to attend the STACS conference, he also has two invitations to give lectures.
One from Amerikan Stanford University.
A copy from Amazon’s Data Analytics R&D Center.
He read the two invitations carefully, thought about it carefully, and finally shook his head.
can not go!
He was interested in going there and looking around. It would be best if he could get some inspiration for research and development through giving lectures and earn tens of thousands of dollars. However, there was no 'lecture fee' marked on the invitation letter.
In addition, time does not allow it.
I am going to attend the STACS conference next month, and giving academic reports is the most important thing. How can I still have time to go to Finland and Amriken? It's too late and too far away.
It's still a bit regretful to refuse.
However, after thinking about it carefully, it didn't matter. The research on Fourier's conjecture to assist in the construction of mathematical models was just one of many studies. He didn't even pay much attention to it at first.
If you go to foreign universities and scientific research institutions to give lectures, you will definitely have many opportunities in the future.
It is more important to make academic reports at the STACS conference. Continuing to improve the large number multiplication algorithm is the truly important content of the results.
Next week, here we come.
Wang Hao still lives a normal life and teaches students normally. Unfortunately, the course has come to an end.
This is the last week, the last class.
When the course enters the final part, the difficulty of the content often becomes higher, and at the same time, the requirements for knowledge mastery also become lower, because the content in the last part only requires students to 'understand' rather than truly master it. .
This is like high school physics. The final content includes Einstein's theory of relativity and a brief introduction to special and general relativity.
There is no doubt that whether it is the special theory of relativity or the general theory of relativity, its difficulty far exceeds the middle school level. It is not something that ordinary students can understand. It is even said that it is just the principles and basic physical logic of the theory of relativity. It is very good for middle school teachers to understand it. .
The same goes for the "Partial Differential Equations" course. The last big chapter is a truly in-depth analysis of first-order partial differential equations, and also involves the Cauchy-Kovalevskaya theorem. Further in-depth knowledge is what graduate students in the Department of Mathematics need to master.
Naturally, this part of knowledge does not need to be mastered by undergraduates, it only requires some simple understanding.
Although he only requires students to "understand" the content, Wang Hao's explanation is still very detailed. The purpose is not for "inspiration value" or "teaching currency", but because he truly feels that expanding the content and in-depth analysis of partial differential equations are the most important part of the course. The important part will be of great benefit to students as they continue to learn more about it.
Unfortunately, what most students think is, "Hurry up and finish the class! I will never learn differential equations again in my lifetime."
Alas~~~
Pity!
Wang Hao also knows from the speed of inspiration acquisition that most students are not interested in understanding and mastering advanced knowledge.
After he finished his final explanation, he decisively stopped and then talked about the exam.
The students suddenly became energetic.
Wang Hao said sincerely, "I also know that I have very high requirements for your daily study, at least higher than other teachers. However, I still hope that more people can pass the exam smoothly and not let half a semester's hard work pass. All in vain.”
"So, everyone must listen carefully next. I have delineated some knowledge scopes in the textbook."
"I will only tell you once, everyone..."
Wang Hao began to read the knowledge content specified in the textbook. In order to let more students follow, he spoke very slowly.
Then……
He kept talking for more than ten minutes.
Many students below gave up. They found that following the knowledge content explained by Wang Hao, they almost drew out half of the book's knowledge.
Is this called focusing?
No!
This is called "the examination scope is all based on the textbook". They were really happy for nothing and thought they were really focusing on the key points.
"Sure enough, I shouldn't keep hope!"
"Teacher Devil King? How can you focus on the key points? I think he might as well say that every knowledge point will be tested."
"I feel like this exam...has been suspended!"
"When he mentioned the key points just now, I felt a little fond of him... I was so naive!"
Talk about it.
Cutting out half of the knowledge content from the textbook seems to be 'reducing the burden' on students. In fact, in the "Partial Differential Equations" course, the later knowledge is directly related to the previous ones, such as non-homogeneous problems, which were introduced earlier , simple application, the following problems of solving non-homogeneous equation transformation.
As long as the range of 'Nonhomogeneous Equation Transformation Solution' is marked at the back, there is basically no difference whether it is marked or not.
When the students in the classroom were sighing, Wang Hao finally said the good news, "Because I don't understand Professor Li's course situation, so the big questions in the test paper will be found in the homework questions of the past few weeks. I will change them appropriately." Let’s look at the numerical values, but the types of questions are the same.”
"Ugh~~~"
The students in the classroom were stunned for a moment, and then immediately cheered loudly.
The big questions account for half of the test paper's marks. As long as you solve all the big questions and add the proportion of the usual marks, passing should be no problem.
Nowadays, students' requirements are very simple. They don't require high scores or even 'higher scores'. They only require passing the exam.
Looking at the cheering students, Wang Hao thought happily, "Although the course requirements are higher, I am still very popular", and he couldn't help but sigh and reminisce, "The students are so good, I really miss my college days!"
Pack your things and leave.
There is no need to linger on the last moment.
behind.
Looking at Teacher Wang's figure in the distance, the students were full of emotions and couldn't help but express their feelings, "I finally got over it. Fortunately, there will be no "Partial Differential Equations" next semester."
"No, just study hard when you go back. You have to memorize those questions. You must pass this exam, otherwise when you retake it, it may be Teacher Wang again..."
"I K, it's really possible! We don't have many differential equations lecturers in our university!"
"Go back to study quickly!"
"Brothers, if anyone has all the homework questions, hurry up and lend me a printout!"
"..."
At the end of the semester, students were busy reviewing and taking exams, and Wang Hao had a rare free time.
After the last week of classes, there will be no teaching-related work.
Perhaps because of the one-year temporary contract signed with the school, or perhaps due to other factors, the school's Academic Affairs Office did not even arrange the task of invigilating the exam.
While other young faculty members were rushing to various examination rooms to invigilate exams, he even had time to take a stroll on the playground, and even played a 3V3 basketball game among the students. However, his technique was rusty and his touch was seriously poor, so his performance was not really good.
Of course.
Wang Hao doesn't care about his performance, he just enjoys the process of playing basketball.
In addition to exercise, he should not waste his free time. He spent a lot of time in the library and read some professional mathematics books to enrich his knowledge.
The field of mathematics covers a wide range of knowledge.
His strongest areas are partial differential equations, ordinary differential equations and geometry. He also has some knowledge in topology and function theory. It is difficult to say that he is proficient in other directions.
Now I am focusing on studying the knowledge of 'number theory'.
Number theory is a well-known subject in the field of mathematics, because number theory is the simplest and most difficult. Some world mathematical conjectures about the laws of 'prime numbers' and numbers can be classified in the field of 'number theory'. To be precise, 'Analytic number theory' content.
As an outstanding Ph.D. in mathematics graduated from a top university, he has also completed some research in the field of mathematics. When it comes to learning the knowledge of 'number theory', of course he does not read some basic knowledge, but studies professional books related to number theory and reads one after another. A difficult results paper.
For example, the latest achievement in the field of number theory, "Proving the gapped interval that weakens the twin prime conjecture", is a very good research object.
Reading the top number theory results, studying the mathematical logic, derivation process, mathematical methods used, and the knowledge content involved will all be very rewarding.
Soon, another week passed.
Wang Hao received good news that day. His paper "Research on the Regularity of the Monge-Ampère Equation" submitted to "Acta Mathematica" passed the review of the expert group and will be published in the next issue of the journal.
"Passed, top issue!"
"The first top journal, "Journal of Mathematics", the real top journal!" Wang Hao was very excited when he received the news. He just tried to submit. Even if he had a certain degree of confidence in the research, the probability of being rejected was very high. big.
It is really good news that it has passed the review and is confirmed to be published in the next issue.
This represents results, represents achievement, represents...
Money?
Wang Hao's eyes suddenly lit up. The subsidy that top publications can get starts at a minimum of 200,000 yuan!
"Two hundred thousand, two hundred thousand..." As he muttered, he also remembered his subject, which was also very important. Although it was only a self-funded project, it was still in my own name and was officially reported to the Science and Technology Department.
"Now that it has passed the review and is confirmed to be published, you can upload the paper and apply for completion!"
"Apply earlier, complete the project earlier, apply for new topics earlier..."
Wang Hao thought of simply uploading the file, then performed some operations and wrote some information in it.
Application completed!
Of course, this is not a formal conclusion. It is just an application submitted to the school's Science and Technology Office. After review by the school's Science and Technology Office, paper documents and some personal-related materials need to be submitted.
The Science and Technology Office of the school will report the topics and materials to the superior.
The school reports to the province, and the provincial science and technology department reviews it. If it thinks the subject is difficult and the degree of completion is high, it may continue to report it to the higher school.
One level after another, and finally to the National Science and Technology Department.
If the self-funded project can pass the provincial level, it will generally be no problem to get a provincial science and technology award, and it will also be very helpful for subsequent applications for various provincial fund projects.
…
The school's Science and Technology Office quickly received the application for completion of the project.
Zhu Jianrong was in the office when he saw a thesis application. He glanced at it and stopped immediately, "Wang Hao's thesis application?"
Li Ming walked over in a few steps and glanced at the computer screen, "That partial differential equations topic? Is it finally finished? I asked him to solve the topic a while ago. He raised the topic by himself. He wrote several papers and was rated excellent in the province. .”
"These are not just a few papers!"
Zhu Jianrong looked at the rows of paper titles and said, "These are ten papers, the ten mentioned on the Internet."
"These papers on Fourier transform are all published in core journals. There is also a paper "A New Expression of Cauchy Nonnegative Matrix Factorization". The only paper with two publications is also a core journal."
"Four core journals!"
"If this topic is submitted to the province, it will definitely be reported again. By then... it should be able to win a provincial science and technology award, right?"
Li Ming nodded and said expectantly, "The provincial science and technology award will definitely be fine, and maybe the national-level award. These Fourier papers have a great influence," Xinhua Daily It’s all reported.”
After hearing what Li Ming said, Zhu Jianrong also began to look forward to it. Xihai University has not won a national science and technology award for several years.
If we can win an award, the school will gain a lot of glory, and the data related to technology research and development will become much better.
At this time, Li Ming suddenly frowned and said doubtfully, "But, I always feel like something is wrong? It seems like... I forgot something."
"Forgot something?" Zhu Jianrong asked doubtfully.
Li Ming thought for a long time, but still couldn't think of the key point. He pointed his fingers and said, "Let me think about it. Wang Hao published ten papers. Ten papers. The first report was seven, and then three..."
"yes!"
As he spoke, he suddenly looked at the computer screen, used the mouse to pull the paper page to the bottom, and saw the last paper - "Study on the Regularity of the Monge-Ampère Equation".
Published in the journal-"Acta-Mathematica"!
Li Ming and Zhu Jianrong looked at each other and opened their mouths in unison. He even uttered a curse word, "I@!"
"This time... it's amazing!"
