I really just want to be a scholar

Chapter 759 Starting today, I officially became a mentor!
Sun Bingfei knew that Wei Yuyuan had a very beautiful girlfriend in the past year, and all his thoughts were spent on dating. This time, he did not prepare enough for the exam. Not falling out of the top [-] is the result of his good performance in the past three years.

He patted Wei Yuyuan on the shoulder and comforted him: "Work hard and fight again next year. Brother Ke's postgraduate competition is so fierce, you can't succeed if you don't go all out to prepare for the exam. And even if you don't follow Brother Ke to study in graduate school, if you have any questions, ask him. He never hides it, as long as he wants to make progress, there will be no chance."

Wei Yuyuan cheered up again, looked at No.1 Liang Shaoping on the list and said enviously: "Fortunately, Shaoping saved our IMO team a sigh of relief and got tied for first place!"

Sun Bingfei spoke with admiration: "Shaoping hasn't relaxed in his studies in the past three years, and his hard work in the past six months has even spread throughout the school. It is understandable that he has such grades."

Wei Yuyuan pointed to the name next to Liang Shaoping and said, "I'm quite curious about the background of that Luslan Baker's Eagle Country student? He can score the same score as Shaoping on such a difficult question!"

"I'll check." In the list of 50 interviewees, there are only names and candidate numbers, and no other information, but this Ruslan Baker is quite famous on the Internet. Sun Bingfei took out his mobile phone and searched for it. up.

"This Luslan Baker is only 20 years old this year! He participated in the IMO in his freshman year and won a gold medal with full marks... Hey, isn't this the next time we will participate in the IMO? This guy is so good, he passed in his sophomore year After passing the entrance examination of Cambridge University, it took only two years to get a bachelor's degree in mathematics. During this period, he published an SCI paper in journals such as "Advances in Applied Mathematics", "Applied Mathematics Letters", "Advanced Nonlinear Research" and other journals. Last year, I participated in the "Young Mathematicians Exchange Conference" held by the European Mathematical Society, and won the best speaker award in the youth group... Fuck, he is a genius again! Mathematics is a world full of monsters! The most terrifying thing is this Geniuses are coming to grab our postgraduate places!"

Sun Bingfei covered his head in pain. When he was an undergraduate, he only published two papers in domestic core journals, and they were all revised under Qin Ke's suggestion before they were successfully submitted.If this Ruslan Baker had completed three international SCI papers purely by himself, it would be far better than him.

Wei Yuyuan was also obviously stimulated, he thumped the wall hard, gritted his teeth and said, "I will fight again next year, and then I must become Brother Ke's student!"

"Are you sure you won't go to the interview this year? You're only 15 points behind in the written test, so you may not have no chance at all."

"I won't go, I can't even make it into the top ten. What face is there to stand in front of Ke Ge? I can't afford to lose this guy! I'm not interested in applying for graduate students from other professors, so I'll decide on Ke Ge. Next year We must make it to the top three! What Shaoping can do, I can do too!" Wei Yuyuan pointed to the teaching materials in Sun Bingfei's cabinet: "Have you read all these? Lend me for a year."

"What you said made me feel a little guilty. I just got seventh in the exam. There is a gap of 1 points from No. 5. I have to prepare well for the interview these days. Brother Ke is not easy to talk about feelings in this regard. I will read these two books for a few days, and I will give them to you after the interview, and you can take the rest."

Sun Bingfei picked out two textbooks that he was not fully familiar with, and then divided half of the rest of the thirty or so textbooks to Wei Yuyuan: "Come on, I'll help you move there first, and then I'll go The library is closed. I want to defeat Naluslan Baker and achieve a counterattack in the interview session!!!”

As if to encourage himself, Sun Bingfei picked up more than a dozen thick textbooks, but he didn't expect the books to be too heavy. He is also a rich second generation who doesn't like sports. Physical strength may not be stronger than that of a stronger girl. One of the books fell to the ground when he lost his grip. One of the thickest books hit his foot, causing him to scream in pain.

Wei Yuyuan was angry and funny at the same time, shaking his head and laughing: "Come on, Young Master Sun, I'll get these books myself."

……

After the announcement of the top 50 list of the written test for the interview, some people were happy and some were worried. Of course, the vast majority of people were disappointed. After all, more than 100 people applied for the postgraduate entrance examination, only [-] people could advance to the interview stage, and most of them failed.

But in any case, passing this written test has also made many people aware of their own problems and shortcomings, and began to strengthen their ability to comprehensively use the knowledge of several sub-disciplines.

Especially with the announcement of the list, there is also a complete set of questions and answers, as well as Qin Ke's message: "I hope that all candidates who failed to become graduate students and doctoral students of me and Qingyun this time will not be discouraged. The difficulty of these questions It is indeed relatively high. I have published the question bank, the knowledge points involved and the standard answers together for your reference. I hope that everyone can fully understand these questions and the knowledge points behind them within one year. By then If you want to apply for a graduate student at any university in China, or even for a graduate student majoring in mathematics at any famous university in the world, you will have great confidence, including the arrogant Princeton, which is likely to open the door for you.”

Qin Ke was originally the idol of many mathematics lovers, and his words had a great influence among young people. These words immediately caused a frenzy of studying the question bank.

In fact, this question bank, which was later called "Must-learn Question Bank for Mathematics Graduate Students", has influenced countless mathematics students and has become the "Bible" that any student who is interested in mathematics must read and master. Undergraduates have greatly improved their comprehensive application ability in mathematics and their compound mastery of knowledge points.

As a result, Lime Technology authorized the publishing house to publish this set of question banks that had been publicly circulated for a long time a year later, and there were still countless people rushing to buy them. The 'tuition fee' owed to Academician Qin."

……

The interview held at Qingmu University in Beijing on April 4 was not a real face-to-face "interview", but an online video interview.After all, many candidates are not necessarily in the capital, especially those foreign students, and it is impossible for them to travel across the ocean to Xiaguo just to participate in the interview.

The first thing to start is the postgraduate interview.

The order of the interviews is random, not based on the written test scores. Every candidate who passes the written test will receive an email explaining the specific time and method of the interview.

With the help of Shimmer and work assistant Chen Ya, the whole interview process was conducted in an orderly manner, but this interview process was not made public, after all, if viewed from a 100% fair and just perspective, this interview would not be possible.

Foreign candidates are indeed slightly better than Xia Guo candidates in terms of verbal expression and active thinking, but out of the desire to cultivate talents for the country, Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun naturally prefer to help Xia Guo students more, such as quotas There are three for Xia Guo candidates, and only one for foreign candidates. The competition among foreign candidates will be more intense.

These are the reasons why the interview cannot be made public.

The interview was not open and no one objected or questioned it, because Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun originally had the right to recruit any student on their own.

The interview time was very short, only 5 minutes each. Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun interviewed together and asked various questions, and candidates had to start answering within five seconds.

Some of the questions asked are from those designated textbooks, but they do not pay attention to specific calculations and detailed knowledge points. They are more concerned with the candidates' mathematical thinking and keen intuition for mathematics; Character and emotional intelligence, these strange questions, except for the mathematics problem, were originally created by Qin and Ke, and the rest were consulted by Qingmu University, including Mr. Qiu, Academician Jiang Weixian, Academician Guo Weiyang, as well as psychology and management. It was sorted out by experts and professors.

As Mr. Qiu said, in the case of a limited number of elite professors, we can only select the best from the best, and select students with excellent talents and character as much as possible to focus on training. Using this as the seed, we will gradually start from point to point. , and finally jointly promote the Xia Guo mathematics community to move towards real prosperity.

These topics play such a "preferential" role.

Each candidate is scored by Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun respectively. The average score of the two is the candidate's final interview score, which is converted into a score at a rate of 30%, and the score of the written test is added to the final total score.

Liang Shaoping's performance was good. Although he was still far from a real genius in terms of mathematical talent, his mathematical thinking and mathematical intuition were excellent, and he showed a very tenacious mental quality in the psychological questions, and finally got 95 points. interview scores.

But Sun Bingfei's interview score was even higher. He was a little bit better than Liang Shaoping in talent, eloquence was also excellent, and he had a strong ability to adapt to changes. His interview score reached 98 points.

The No. 17 candidate for the interview was Ruslan Baker, an undergraduate student from Cambridge University who ranked first in the written test.

The interview time reserved for Luslan Baker was a little longer than others, because Qin Ke was still a little interested in him.

Ruslan is a typical Caucasian youth, with blond hair, fair skin, and clear facial features. He looks pretty good, but there are some freckles on his face, and his eyes are a little small. When he smiles, he completely forms a line, which is very suitable for use. To make a meme.

Lu Silan is indeed an "emoticon pack". He has a lot of expressions when he speaks. He claims to be a sports boy who loves kung fu and basketball. He grinned and said:
"Academician Qin, I have heard your name a long time ago. I have a cousin named Charles. He said that he had been to Yuanzhou High School for academic exchanges in high school, and he also competed with you on the same stage at IMO. , He admires you very much. There is also Professor Andrew Wiles who I admire very much. Oh, it is Professor Wiles who proved Fermat’s Last Theorem in our school. He often mentions your name in lectures, saying You are the brightest future star in the international mathematics world, and I am very interested in the magical oriental kung fu, Bruce Lee, ah-fight!"

He gestured a classic Bruce Lee move in front of the computer, and continued to chatter: "I want to come to Xia Guo to learn mathematics with you, and then find a kung fu master to learn kung fu, ha! I also heard that Xia Guo's dishes are very delicious, I also I want to taste delicious food everywhere! So, Academician Qin, you must accept me!"

He spoke very fast, and Ning Qingyun's current level of professional English was above CET-[-], it sounded a bit difficult.

Just looking at his eloquent appearance, he can't be connected with the image of a super academic who has won the first place in the written test, won the IMO gold medal, and directly skipped a grade to study in the Department of Mathematics of Cambridge University.

But seeing him being so talkative, it doesn't seem so surprising that he won the best speaker award in the youth group of the European Youth Mathematicians Exchange Conference...

Qin Ke studied his mathematics level and found that the blond boy's talent in mathematics is indeed a genius level, and his mathematical intuition is also very strong. The only shortcoming is that his brain is too fast, his curiosity is too strong, and he likes wild fantasies , making him weaker in perseverance and perseverance, and he will lack the patience to persist and fight hard for a long time when encountering real difficulties.

Luslan Baker's interview score was 95 points, the same as Liang Shaoping.

After nearly five hours of interviews, the interviews of the postgraduate male group ended, and the four people who finally passed the interviews were: Liang Shaoping, Luslan Baker, Tai Shichi, and Sun Bingfei.

The name of Taishichi is very similar to the famous general of the Three Kingdoms "Taishi Ci", and the image is also somewhat similar. This boy from the Northeast is 1.9 meters 1.8 tall, much taller than Qin Ke who is [-] meters [-]. He looks like a tiger. , like an iron tower, with arms thicker than the thighs of ordinary boys.

It's a pity that he doesn't like playing basketball, but likes to keep fit. It is said that he was tall but thin when he was a child. He was ridiculed by his peers as a "bamboo pole" and was often bullied. Schwarzenegger is an idol. In order to develop such muscles, he went to the gym since he was a child. As a result, he really developed a body of frighteningly strong muscles.

Don't look at Tai Shichi as a "silly big man", but he is one of the top mathematics students in the elite class of Qiuzhen Academy. This time, he scored 91 points in the written test, No. 3, second only to Liang Shaoping and Lu Silan who tied for the first place Baker, also passed the interview smoothly and landed successfully.

The interview for the postgraduate female group also ended in the evening. Liu Honglan from Zhejiang University, Sun Xiuya from Qiuzhen Academy, Lu Shuyue from Yanda University, and Skylar Lyonis, a senior undergraduate from Harvard University, became Ning Qingjun's graduate students. .

These postgraduate students will officially report to Qingmu University in September this year and then enroll, and follow Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun for advanced mathematics studies.

Interviews for doctoral students were held on April 4.

To Qin Ke's surprise, Dirk Hill actually participated in this doctoral interview, and seeing him wearing a black suit and bow tie in front of the computer, his attitude was extremely correct, not at all looking like he was having fun. But really want to strive to become Qin Ke's student.

Hill's first words were: "I have been paying attention to you, I have been trying to catch up with you, and even want to surpass you, but no matter how hard I try, the distance from you is getting farther and farther, which makes me I was so desperate that I wanted to give up mathematics. My tutor Professor Andrei Okenkov said that if you want to overcome the fear in your heart, you must be close to you. Only by facing the fear at close range can I get out of the shadow. So, Here I am. Academician Qin Ke, I want to be your student."

Very straightforward explanation.

Qin Ke looked at Hill's slightly bewildered gaze, couldn't help laughing, and stretched out his hand towards the computer: "I also hope that there is an 'opponent' by my side at any time to give me a sense of crisis of being chased. So, you are welcome , Hill."

In this way, with the end of the interview session, Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun's first graduate and doctoral students in mathematics were finally finalized.

The two truly became mentors.
