Section 237

"Yes! I know!"

he said.

"Well, let's continue to expand our knowledge, especially in number theory and representation theory."

Xiao Yi said, "This is the initial stage in mathematics, and it is also the most boring stage. Keep at it."

Chen Muhua nodded heavily.

But then, he couldn't help but ask: "But, Brother Xiao...Professor, how did you accumulate knowledge? I always feel that you have more knowledge than those big guys in their 60s and 70s." many."

"I?"

Xiao Yi smiled and shrugged, "Of course I came from reading, but my reading speed...well, a little faster than all of you."

a little?

Chen Muhua twitched the corner of his mouth.

Are you sure it's not 100 million points?

…

An old man at home has a cerebral infarction and is hospitalized. He went home for a visit today. The update is late.

Chapter 211 Close at hand

Because of time constraints, the communication time for a single student will not be too long.

After communicating with Chen Muhua about the Ph.D.-level difficult question, he ended the exchange.

"Okay, let's end our communication here."

Hearing what Xiao Yi said, Chen Muhua also let out a sigh of relief and said, "Okay, thank you for your hard work, Professor Xiao."

Xiao Yi smiled softly and joked: "The interview is over, there is no need to say the job title anymore."

Chen Muhua was stunned for a moment, and then he laughed: "Okay, Brother Xiao, you must fish for us."

Xiao Yi shrugged: "It depends on whether your advantages over all other interviewees are obvious enough."

"Brother, I will treat you to dinner when you come to HKUST."

"Oh? Considering that you are trying to bribe me now, the impression score will be reduced by ten again."

"Brother! I was wrong!"

…

Chen Muhua's interview is over.

As he exited the online conference room, Chen Muhua took off his headphones, looked at his roommates in the dormitory, and said, "Brothers, how are you? Do you think I have hope this time? I feel that the hope is quite high. ”

However, Lupine and the others all hummed, and then they all gave this guy the middle finger.

Still the same sentence: "You damn thing, you really deserve to die!"

Chen Muhua spread his hands to them: "What can I say?"

"Get him!"

Lu Ping and the others couldn't stand it anymore, so they all stepped forward to fight with this guy.

The reason why they are so aggrieved is naturally because this kid will have the opportunity to become Xiao Yi's student.

First of all, Xiao Yi is young, has a certain relationship with them, and has communicated with them before. This alone can make them more excited.

And then there is the most important point. Xiao Yi can now be called the best mathematician and master of mathematics in the contemporary era. Every achievement in his hands is a top achievement that can make mathematicians all over the world feel ashamed. .

If you can become Xiao Yi's student, you will definitely not have much problem in guiding the subject in the future, and you can also get close contact with Xiao Yi's way of thinking and communicate with him.

As for things like tutors being unable to provide much guidance to students due to inconsistent research directions...

Basically, few people are worried that Xiao Yi will have such a problem.

Who in the world of mathematics doesn’t know that Xiao Yi knows more than Terence Tao?

It's almost impossible to say that Tao Zhexuan is known as Xiao Xiaoyi.

…

In Chen Muhua's dormitory, several people started making a fuss.

The exchange interview with Xiao Yi is also continuing.

The second student interviewed is a student from Jiangzhe University. His ability is quite good. After taking into account various bonus points policies, his final grade point is basically close to the full grade point. However, it is not as final as Chen Muhua. A total grade point of more than 4.0 is so abnormal.

His test scores were not particularly impressive, but he did publish one article in a core journal during his undergraduate studies.

It's a pity that this journal is in the field of probability and statistics. Compared with Chen Muhua's algebraic geometry paper, the impression left on Xiao Yi is slightly lower.

As for the interview process, it is basically the same as the interview process with Chen Muhua.

First, we mainly need to understand the student's future plans and what topics he wants to study after entering graduate school. Then we can talk with him along this direction and come up with a fairly difficult question for him to try.

As for the difficulty, it varies from person to person. People with relatively strong abilities like Chen Muhua can go directly to PhD level problems.

The slightly worse one is master level difficulty.

As for the ones who are even worse, they don’t know anything when asked, and they even act coquettishly with Xiao Yi when they come up...

Then just have a brief chat and provide the other party with some corresponding suggestions, such as the choice of future development direction. It can be treated as a short fan meeting and the battle will be resolved in three minutes.

Of course, there are still relatively few students like this. Among the thirty people Xiao Yi interviewed on the first day, there were only three or four.

This kind of students who can be exempted can basically be said to be the kind who are relatively comfortable in school communication. When I asked about the National College Student Mathematical Modeling Contest and was asked what they were doing, it turned out that they were responsible for writing papers. .

And so on.

Except for this type of students, most of the other students are more powerful than the other.

There are five students whose GPA in the first three academic years alone is over 4.0, and the most impressive one who has published a paper is even a Zone 1 paper. Of course, it was completed in collaboration, but after learning more about it, it was found that he played a role in this paper.

There are also students who can serve as the president of the student union while being able to learn mathematics very well.

There is even a student who is even more awesome than Chen Muhua, named Liang Qiushi, from Qinghua University, who studies the field of number theory. He has published 5 papers before, including three SCI papers and two Chinese core papers. Among the three SCI papers, there is one Zone 2 paper, all of which were completed independently.

And Xiao Yi also gave him a doctoral-level problem. Although Liang Qiushi did not solve it, he completed most of it and had some ideas about the next ideas.

It can be said that he is very outstanding.

As for Liang Qiushi, he did not bet on whether Xiao Yi would come to teach like Chen Muhua did. This guy...

actually came to the University of Science and Technology for his girlfriend.

His girlfriend is also a student of Qinghua, but she is a physics student. She also got the recommendation opportunity and chose the University of Science and Technology, which is known as the Chinese University of Physics.

So Liang Qiushi came here.

After a brief exchange, Xiao Yi couldn't help but sigh that this boy is really a lovesick person. His family had already prepared to send him abroad to study for a master's degree, but now he has quarreled with his family because of this matter.

Now that he knows that he can choose Xiao Yi as his mentor, it is a ray of hope for him. Now that his family knows that they have the opportunity to become Xiao Yi's student, they no longer quarrel with him.

Although in the eyes of his parents, the University of Science and Technology is far less popular than those foreign universities, but with Xiao Yi's current reputation in China, his parents can still stop saying more.

After all, the Fields Medal winner is real.

In this way, after the interviews of dozens of mathematics recommendation students, Xiao Yi ranked them and naturally the first two people he liked the most were Liang Qiushi and Chen Muhua.

Although there are many excellent students left, when it comes to selecting students, we naturally have to choose the best ones.

Of course, we need to wait until all the interviews are over before deciding on the students.

In the following time, Xiao Yi mainly interviewed the physics recommended students.

However, compared with mathematics, physics recommended students are more complicated, and there are students studying various directions.

In theoretical physics alone, we can distinguish several categories such as quantum mechanics, relativity, particle physics, and statistical mechanics, and there are also students who want to study string theory.

In experimental physics, it can be divided into high-energy physics experiments, condensed matter physics experiments, optical physics, etc.

There are other interdisciplinary subjects, such as the quantum information science of the University of Science and Technology, which can be regarded as the world's leading major.

In addition, there is astrophysics, which is also a large category.

But...

What Xiao Yi really wants to complain about is that these people who choose quantum information science, why do they come to choose him?

The University of Science and Technology of China is full of talents in quantum information science, and there are countless leaders. Why don't you go to Pan Wei and other big names, but to him who has no achievements in quantum information science?

Well...

In fact, it's not that he has no achievements at all. If the contribution of his high-temperature superconductor HTSC-1 to quantum information is also counted, then he can be regarded as a hero in the field of quantum information science.

With the excellent performance of HTSC-1 in the field of quantum information, it has helped Pan Wei and others to achieve a significant breakthrough.

He was interviewed by CCTV some time ago.

But no matter what, he has not made many achievements in quantum information theory. Didn't these recommended students really sign up for the opportunity to communicate with him because they wanted to "visit" him?

There are also majors in astrophysics. Don't these people know that he has never published any results related to astrophysics?

Even if he was recommended by nuclear physics, he would accept it.

In addition, among these recommended students in nuclear physics, there is a girl who happens to be Liang Qiushi's girlfriend, named Chen Chunhua.
