From small town scholar to chief scientist

Chapter 65 The Fear of Being Dominated

Even though it was New Year's Day, Huadong Normal University had an incomparably large number of people.

Zhou Yi guessed that it might be the end of the term.

Under the leadership of Tang Menghua, Zhou Yi quickly found his own examination room.

After a rigorous inspection, Zhou Yi successfully got on his seat in the examination room.

Quietly waiting for the game to start.

In the finals of the National College Students Mathematics Contest, only 22 people were selected from 600 people to participate in the finals.

Among them, there are 300 mathematics majors and 300 non-mathematics majors. The non-mathematics majors who can sit here and participate in the finals,

All are elite scholars of various majors,

All kinds of resumes can be taken out casually and everyone can be shocked.

Of course, there are also people who are purely interested in mathematics.

The 300 people majoring in mathematics basically represent all the elites who study mathematics from freshmen to seniors in the country.

In the domestic subject competition, there are so many participating universities and the influence is so great that it is unmatched. It has become the veritable No. [-] university subject competition in the country, and it is full of gold.

For the participating students, the preliminary competition (preliminary competition), including the school and provincial selection competitions, is mainly to promote the understanding and mastery of the basic knowledge of mathematics in colleges and the cultivation of mathematical ability.
To enhance the interest in mathematics learning, supervise the purpose of learning mathematics, and at the same time select the contestants to participate in the finals.

The final is more to discover and select mathematical innovation talents and talents with applied mathematics and developmental mathematics potential. Both stages provide a stage for participating students to demonstrate basic knowledge and thinking ability.

Among them, the content of the non-mathematics final exam and the approximate proportion of the score are: advanced mathematics accounts for 80%, and linear algebra accounts for 20%.

The final exam papers for mathematics majors are divided into two categories:
The first category, freshman and sophomore students.That is to say, for the lower grade group, the content of the test is based on the content of the preliminaries, and the ordinary differential equation is added, accounting for about 15% of the total score.

The second category is students in the junior year and above, that is, the senior group.

The content of the examination is based on the examination content of the sophomore students, adding contents such as real variable function, complex variable function, abstract algebra, numerical analysis, differential geometry, probability theory, etc.
Candidates will choose the questions for three of the courses, and the proportion of new content should not exceed 50% of the total score.

Zhou Yi is now participating in the second category, the senior group.

There are 5 perfect marks in the preliminary competition in the senior group, among them are Zhao Ruinan from Shangjing University, Xiao Wanyi from Huadong Normal University,
The sloppy brother and the strong tuxedo of Chang'an Jiaotong University.

The level of the five people is basically understood by everyone, and their strengths are comparable.

Originally thought that Zhao Ruinan from Shangjing University would overwhelm the crowd and outshine others, but it turned out that the intensity of competition in the senior group was no lower than that in the lower group.

The sloppy and strong are from Aurora University, this competition is really a competition, especially Aurora University, not only the senior group sent out big shots,
The lower grade group also sent a boss,

Without him, I just want to touch the supremacy of Peking University in the undergraduate mathematics circle of Great Xia.

Although there are three hills, the number one mathematics school in Huaxia is Shangjing University.

But what Aurora University didn't expect was that Xiao Wanyi from Huadong Normal University and Zhou Yi from Chongqing University turned out to be two hidden dark horses.

So this final was very intense.

Whoever can win the championship will be No. 1 in mathematics from freshmen to seniors in the national college circle.

The statement is a bit exaggerated, but it is the truth.

The competition has already started, Zhou Yi got the test paper and went through the test paper first.

There are a total of ten questions, and questions 1 to 4 are mandatory questions, which are the content of advanced analytic geometry.

The fifth to tenth questions are optional questions, choose three questions from the six questions to do, and fill in the question number at the beginning of the test paper.

These six big questions are the content of probability theory, ordinary differential, real variable function, abstract algebra (modern algebra) and so on.

All answers to major questions have to be written on the standard answer sheet, which is not scored on the test paper.

If there is not enough blank space for the big question, you can also write it directly on the back, just mark the question number.

Coincidentally, the boy in the tuxedo who had spoken harshly to Zhou Yi before was in the same examination room as Xiao Wanyi and Zhou Yi.

But Zhou Yi didn't notice them at all, but concentrated on solving the problem.

The first big question was to fill in the blanks, which surprised Zhou Yi a bit. There were also fill-in-the-blanks in the final.

There are four fill-in-the-blank questions in total, two about mathematical analysis and two about advanced algebra.

The difficulty of the topic is not the same level as that of the initial competition. It is deeper, more detailed, and the amount of calculation is greater. Even the thinking is more difficult.

For Zhou Yi, there is no difficulty at all, just pick up a pen and do it.

The test papers on the table and the aggressive sound of the pen made the 29 candidates in the examination room tense.
The legend is true, this big guy really doesn't need to think about the questions, he just picks up the pen and does it.

This is the final test question, it is not the preliminary round, can you respect us, it seems that we are very good.

Everyone was numb in their hearts, but they quickly cleared up their emotions and began to think.

Even if you lose, you have to stand up and lose instead of kneeling and surrendering.

Zhou Yi finished the four small questions of the first big question in one go, without any hesitation.

Many people present also made a small problem, and some were doing the second small problem of the first big problem,

For example Xiao Wanyi.

But they also know that Zhou Yi has finished the first big question,
Because Zhou Yi was the first and only person in the examination room to turn over the test papers.

This move all means that Zhou Yi is telling them that I have finished the first big question of Zhou Yi.

It took less than 8 minutes.

I think therefore I cook?

Okay, okay, my food is ready.

I think they were the opponents who dominated the same examination room in the preliminary round. At that time, the high-spirited appearance was so chic and happy, but now it is so uncomfortable.

It never occurred to him that during the finals, he would be dominated by others.

Where does this make them reason?

They are all the elite who were killed out of 22 people. They never expected to be ruthlessly crushed here.

It took less than ten seconds to turn the page and read the question, and Zhou Yi's pen started to move again.

The boy in the tuxedo was a little numb at the moment. It took 8 minutes for him to come up with the solution to the second problem of the first big question, while Zhouyi had already started to write the second big question.

Thinking of how he used to ridicule others without knowing what was good or bad, now he wants to die.

But fortunately, everyone here is a strong man who has reached the final from the preliminaries with thousands of troops, and their mentality quickly adjusted.
Enduring the fear of being dominated by the boss, I forced myself to think about the topic.

The second big question is about analytic geometry, two small questions,
The topic is as follows:

[Given a circle C on the yOz plane, y=√3+cosθ, z=1+sinθ, θ∈[0, 2π], ask:
1. Find the implicit equation of the torus S obtained by rotating C around the z-axis;
2. Assuming z_0≥0, the difference between the half-vertex angles of the two cone surfaces S_0 and S_0 with M(1, 2, z_o) as vertices is π/3, and both are tangent to the torus S (each busbar is Tangent to the torus), find the implicit equations of z and S_1, S_2. 】

Although Zhouyi knew the idea after reading the topic, the process was extremely complicated.

Without a very deep understanding of analytic geometry, it is difficult to answer this question, especially the second question.

The first small question is considered a point-giving question, and the second question is very difficult.

If the spatial imagination ability is a little weak, or the image is drawn incorrectly in the process of changing from three-dimensional graphics to two-dimensional graphics, it is likely that you will not get a single point.

Compared with the analytic geometry problem in the first round, it is nothing compared to the big problem.

Not a level at all.

The answer is not crowded, it will take more than one page.

No wonder it will prompt people to write on the back if there is not enough blank space.
