Chapter 281

Because the content of his lectures is so good, even the recorded videos of his lectures have been circulated on the Internet and have become a must-see course for mathematics students to learn number theory by themselves.

In addition, the open courses he taught in the School of Physics, the School of Materials Science and other colleges have also received unanimous praise, so much so that these colleges urged him to teach in these colleges next semester.

In short, this period of time is probably the busiest period of Xiao Yi's life.

The time when he studied hard seems to have come back again.

In this way, 2024 gradually passed and 2025 came.

…

Chapter 239 The Perfect UO Structure!

"Okay, students, today's class ends here."

In the lecture hall, Xiao Yi said to the many students present.

Although so much time has passed, there are very few students who come for his fame, but even so, there are more and more students who come for his good lectures. Therefore, the students who come to listen to his class are still full.

"Of course, this is also the last class of this semester."

"After that, you will have to face the final exam."

"Here is a reminder for you, this exam will be more difficult."

Xiao Yi said with a smile, he never thought that one day, he would be able to talk to these students about the difficulty of the exam.

Thinking about when he was an undergraduate...

Well, he didn't experience such things back then, after all, he didn't study for long in undergraduate studies, let alone exams.

When he heard this, a bunch of students in the audience said "Ah?".

Xiao Yi didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said: "Those of you who came to take the class for free, don't say anything, I'm not giving you questions."

The students all laughed.

Some of them took every class for free, and for a moment they forgot that they were not students in Hua Luogeng's class.

Some of them even didn't have number theory classes this semester, so there was no question of taking number theory exams.

Of course, the students in Hua Luogeng's class all looked embarrassed.

Even Xiao Yi said it was difficult, so it must be really difficult, right?

A famous student asked at this time: "Teacher Xiao, it's not you who set the questions yourself, right?"

Xiao Yi laughed: "Of course I did, after all, I am the only one teaching your number theory class now, so I must set the questions."

"Ah?~"

So, these math top students in Hua Luogeng's class all wailed.

They have not forgotten the situation of the midterm exams.

The midterm exams tortured them to death, especially the questions in the midterm exams made them look very simple, but in fact, when they really did it, they would find that there were quite a lot of difficulties or details that could get them stuck, and they needed to use their thinking to find a solution.

It can be said that the sense of accomplishment of solving such questions is very strong, and it is also very enjoyable to do, but considering that this is a question to be done during the exam, it is a headache.

After all, exams are all time-limited.

This is also a drawback of the exam. Some students cannot finish the questions within the exam time, but if they are given enough time, they can get full marks on one paper. Some students can finish the questions within the exam time limit and get high enough marks, but they cannot get full marks.

Which of these two types of students is better?

For exams, of course, the latter is better, but for the entire scientific research, the former is better.

After all, in real mathematical research, time is not important. For example, Zhang Yitang has been studying for a lifetime and finally achieved results.

Life is a hundred years, and success in a short period of time cannot explain too much, especially in mathematical research.

However, for these young students, it is still very important to be able to get high scores in the exam. Even Zhang Yitang was a top student who was able to enter Shangjing University when he was young, so the test results still show strength.

Looking at these howling students, Xiao Yi smiled.

"Then, teacher, can you tell us the key points of the exam?"

A student asked again without giving up.

Xiao Yi spread his hands and said, "I didn't bring a book, so there's no need to think about marking the key points."

Since he didn't bring a book to the first class, he found that it didn't matter whether he brought it or not, so he never brought a book in a semester.

Probably, he won't bring a book to class in the future.

When he heard him say this, the students in Hua Luogeng's class showed helpless expressions again.

No such thing!

"Okay, you in Hua Luogeng's class, don't think about marking the key points. If you want to develop in the field of number theory in the future, there will be no focus. You have to have a deep understanding of all aspects of number theory."

"If you don't want to develop in the field of number theory, I also think you should have a deep enough understanding of number theory as a whole. You have to know that mathematics seems to have many details, but in fact all directions are also a whole. The wider your knowledge, the more beneficial it will be for your future research. That's why our mathematics majors generally pay more attention to the Qiu Chengtong Mathematics Competition, because the Qiu competition requires a higher level of knowledge."

"Speaking of the Qiu Contest, you can sign up next semester. Whether you can win a prize or not, it's good to give it a try."

Xiao Yi said.

The Qiu Contest starts signing up in March every year, and the finals are around October.

So generally speaking, freshmen can only participate in the finals when they are sophomores.

When he was an undergraduate, he was invited by other classmates to participate in such competitions, but he didn't agree in the end.

It's a good thing that he didn't agree, otherwise, his classmates would have started their sophomores in the second semester, and he would have become a doctoral student. His classmates would be confused.

After hearing his recommendation, most of the students present began to be eager to try the Qiu Contest next semester.

At this time, the bell finally rang.

Xiao Yi waved his hand and said, "Okay, this semester's class is over. Thank you, classmates, let's end the get out of class!"

There was no need for the monitor to call for them to stand up, just relying on tacit understanding.

The students present stood up one after another and bowed, saying, "Thank you for your hard work, teacher!"

Xiao Yi waved his hand and then left the classroom.

The students who stayed in the classroom began to discuss what classes Xiao Yi would teach next semester.

The students in Hua Luogeng's class also wanted to know whether Xiao Yi would continue to teach them other courses next year.

...

However, these were not what Xiao Yi needed to consider. Anyway, he only taught one class every semester and it would never change.

He returned to the office, looked at what his three graduate students were doing, and then returned to his office.

But just after he sat down for a while, their dean Tang Fucheng came.

"Professor Xiao, have you finished the class?"

"Dean Tang." Xiao Yi nodded: "Just finished the class, what's up?"

Tang Fucheng smiled and said: "Good news, your professor level has been upgraded to level one."

"Oh! This matter."

Xiao Yi raised his eyebrows and asked: "Wasn't I level four before?"

Tang Fucheng said with a smile: "Do you still need to ask this question? To be honest, if you hadn't applied for it yourself, you would have been a level one professor long ago."

"Then when we were reviewing some time ago, we found that you were still a level four professor, so we reported it directly to the higher authorities, and now you have been rated as a level one professor."

College teachers belong to professional and technical positions, and the job levels are also divided into 13 levels.

The level of professors is 1-4.

Level four professors are just rated as professors, and level one professors are the top level. Generally speaking, only academicians can be rated as level one professors. There are too few level one professors who are not academicians.

However, for scholars like Xiao Yi, only level one professors can match his status.

"Is that so?" Xiao Yi nodded in understanding: "I really forgot about this matter. Thank you, Dean Tang."

Tang Fucheng waved his hand: "It's okay, it's good for our college."

It's good for the college to have one more first-level professor. Although they are all professors outside, the difference between them is of course very clear to their units.

"In addition, I also want to ask you, next semester, we plan to let you teach the real variable function of the sophomore Hua Luogeng class next semester. Is this okay for you? Real variable function is still a little difficult for those students. You teach well, so let you take it."

Xiao Yi waved his hand: "No problem."

"That's good." Tang Fucheng smiled, but then asked: "Then... do you want to consider taking one more class? Just teach number theory to students in ordinary classes?"

Xiao Yi pulled the corner of his mouth, waiting for him here?

He waved his hand and said, "Why don't they demote the first-level professor? I'd rather be a fourth-level professor."

Tang Fucheng was helpless and quickly said, "Okay, okay, I won't say anything. You can't demote this professor level. Young man, be a little more motivated."

Xiao Yi spread his hands and said, "I'm already the chief designer now. I'm already very motivated."

Tang Fucheng pulled the corner of his mouth and finally said, "Okay, just ignore what I said."

But soon he became curious again: "But, by the way, what's the progress of your Super Oriental Super Ring now? Is there really a chance that nuclear fusion can be realized?"

Xiao Yi smiled and said, "If you think it can be realized, then it can be realized. If you think it can't be realized, then it can't be realized. No one can say for sure about nuclear fusion."
