An Expert Is actually By My Side

Chapter 36

"There's something wrong with this year's college math competition... Who came up with this problem?"

Office of the Dean of Mathematics.

Looking at the line of calculations written on the blackboard, Wang Shuangquan touched the stubble on his chin with his right hand, and a solemn look appeared in his eyes.

Standing next to him was Professor Li Xuesong from the Department of Mathematics, a top figure in the field of pure mathematics in China, and also one of the chief examiners of the National College Student Mathematics Competition in early September.

"It seems to be Professor Liu Shoufeng from Xiaguo Mathematics Research Institute."

"It turned out to be this old guy who asked the question..." Wang Shuangquan had a bewildered expression on his face, nodded and said, "No wonder..."

Mathematics is the foundation of science, and Xia Guo builds the country with science and technology, and attaches great importance to mathematics. Every year, national-level competitions such as the National College Student Mathematics Competition are held, mainly for college students majoring in mathematics. Winners are expected to directly enter the national key research field. research unit.

Under normal circumstances, in order to increase the score, the last big question is often assigned by the professor of the Xia Guo Institute of Mathematics.

It's just that no one expected that the last big question of this year, not one person from the entire main examination committee could solve it.

Even among these people, Professor Liu Shoufeng himself is included.

As a member of the main examination committee, Professor Li Xuesong still remembers how the old man played tricks on him with an innocent face when he found him——

"I never thought that this question would be so difficult. I just thought of it suddenly and thought it was quite interesting, so I wrote it on the test paper."

Now it seems that this question is quite beautiful.

Maybe it will become a mathematical conjecture by then.

Old man Liu Shoufeng was happy and let go of it, but he suffered for the main test committee of their competition.

In this way, half a week has passed since the end of the exam, and the answer to this question is still a mystery...

Seeing that Dean Wang Shuangquan did not respond for a long time, Professor Li Xuesong asked tentatively.

"What do you think about this question?"

"I don't have a good idea yet, but my intuition tells me that the answer shouldn't be difficult?" Wang Shuangquan shook his head after thinking for a while, "Let me think about it for two days... Speaking of which, the Yanjing Institute of Mathematics Woolen cloth?"

Yenching Institute of Mathematics is another major mathematics research institution in Xiaguo. Unlike Xiaguo Institute of Mathematics, which focuses on applied mathematics research, Yenching Institute of Mathematics mainly studies pure mathematics.

This kind of number theory problem is obviously better left to experts for study.

"The questions have just been sent to them. I guess they are holding a seminar right now."

Dean Wang nodded and stroked the stubble on his chin.

"That should be stable."

"Hey, I thought it was because my skills had regressed, but I didn't expect that even your old man couldn't figure it out. It seems that the problem lies in the question itself."

Seeing Professor Li Xuesong laughing there, Dean Wang was a little embarrassed, coughed and said.

"What do you mean I can't figure it out... Didn't you just get it from me?"

"Haha, I don't care, anyway, my heart is balanced!" Li Xuesong laughed and waved his hands, "Don't talk about it, I'm going to class, there will be a high math class in a while, and there are two homework waiting for me .”

"Homework? You shouldn't be assigning this question as homework."

"It can be regarded as a thinking question. If they are not asked to do it, they can do as much as they can."

Seeing this unreasonable old thing, Wang Shuangquan laughed and said, "Aren't you a bully?"

If he could have this ability, he would have been sent to Yanda with the transcript of the National Mathematics Contest. Although Jiangcheng University is also in the top 10 in Xia Country and even in the world, its resources are still a little bit worse than those two in Yanjing.

"Bullying people? Oh, I don't think you're being pushed hard enough! These freshmen who just came to college are like ducks that have entered the mountain. They have no discipline at all! The mental outlook of today's students is far worse than ours back then. , It’s really not as good as one generation!”

While speaking, Li Xuesong shook his head.

Looking at his old friend, Dean Wang coughed dryly and said.

"One generation has its own way of life. Don't use the old calendar to make demands on current students. Ask yourself, would you like your grandson to live in the old calendar or in the new era?"

"Could it be the same? My grandson is only a little older," Li Xuesong muttered, "It's almost time, I'll go back first."

Dean Wang smiled and nodded.

"go Go."

It just so happened that this question was very interesting, and he also wanted to think quietly for a while by himself.

Could it be solved?

Although it looks like a challenge...

...

ding ding ding——

"Hiss...how come Hao Yun hasn't come yet?"

Seeing Lao Li who had stepped on the bell and walked into the classroom, Zheng Xueqian looked around anxiously, and whispered to Liang Ziyuan who was sitting next to him, "This guy must have slept."

He wasn't worried about Hao Yunque's absence from class, the main reason was that he helped to occupy the seat too far, and it was embarrassing to leave the book there alone. Especially this kind of small class with only two classes, it looks even more intrusive.

Liang Ziyuan: "...Maybe."

"Damn, don't come and say something."

Zheng Xueqian complained in a low voice, and took away the book on the table before being blindsided.

"Be quiet in class."

After knocking on the blackboard, Li Xuesong walked up to the podium, threw the advanced mathematics textbook in his hand on the podium, and put his hands behind his back with an expression of an expert.

"The school committee of class 1801 accepts the homework."

As soon as they heard that the homework was collected, there was a moaning and commotion in the classroom. The few top students sitting in the front row looked at each other, but they only saw helpless expressions in each other's eyes.

"Have you written it?"

"Not written."

"This question is too difficult..."

"Yeah, yeah, I can't write it at all!"

"I still have to hand in my homework, isn't that a thinking question..."

"It's over, it's over."

Seeing the reaction of the students in the audience, Li Xuesong didn't make any expression on his face, but laughed twice in his heart.

Can't do it?

It's a coincidence that it can be done!

He Ping, who was sitting in the first row, bit his thumb, looked at the three to five pages of draft paper on the table, frowned and did not say a word.

The chubby man Zhou Xuan who was sitting next to him poked his arm nervously with a pen, and asked in a low voice.

"He Shen, have you written it yet?"

"No……"

"Damn, even you can't do it?"

The provincial first in the national high school mathematics competition!

Even he can't do it? !

This guy doesn't play games in the dormitory, he just sits on the bed and reads difficult books all day long.

However, when he heard that He Ping hadn't written it, Zhou Xuan was relieved instead, and was not as nervous as before.

How do you say it?

D!

If one or two people did not write, it is the problem of those one or two people, and if everyone did not write, then it is not the problem of everyone, but the problem of this topic.

He was not as optimistic as his roommate, He Ping didn't even bother to talk to him, and continued to stare at the question on the draft book and meditate, as if he had gotten into a dead end.

No wonder...

After all, no matter how you look at it, this is a question that is too simple to be simple.

But the strange thing is that he tried everything, but he couldn't do it!

Seeing the sad faces of the students in the audience, Li Xuesong couldn't be too happy.

It never occurred to him that these future coders could still make such problems.

Ah!

I want you grandsons not to take Lao Tzu's lessons seriously!

Do you regret it now?

However, happy to be happy, the teacher's majesty still has to be put on display.

After taking a lot of effort to squeeze a trace of disappointment from his eyebrows, the bald old man comforted everyone pretending to be tolerant.

"It doesn't matter if you can't write it out. Pay as much as you write, at least let me see your thinking. The school committee of class one, go and accept it, even if you just write an explanation, accept it."

Hearing this sentence, the students who were handing in their homework finally got a little excited, and hesitantly handed out the homework book with only one question in their hands.

Those who didn't do their homework in the first place breathed a sigh of relief, and simply took the homework at the same table and copied the questions, and then wrote a solution in the blank space.

Looking at the homework that was collected in a short while, Professor Li Xuesong smiled inwardly, but shook his head with a tut on his mouth.

"Seeing that one or two of you didn't listen carefully, and some of you came late and left early, I thought you had all learned it. I didn't expect that such a simple question, there is not even one person who can solve it."

"Students of this class, I really don't know how you study in high school!"

Hearing this sentence, all the students in the class were ashamed.

To be honest, there is no real scumbag in the true sense who can sit in this classroom and teach. Not to mention beating the overseas friends recruited from the international class, but at least in mathematics, physics and chemistry, none of them scored low.

Therefore, this kind of soul torture is undoubtedly a bit cruel to them.

Especially for a top student who had won the Provincial First Prize and almost got into Shuimu Yanda University, it made him so uncomfortable that he wanted to bite off his thumb.

Why can't I write it? ? ?

This is so impossible!

Seeing that Lao Li on the podium had already opened the cover of his high mathematics textbook, and had no intention of talking about this question that he couldn't understand after thinking about it for half a week, He Ping knew that he couldn't wait any longer, so he hesitated. Stand up on the chair.

"Teacher, I want to know the answer to that question!"

Zhou Xuan, who was sitting next to him, was taken aback by his roommate's action, and hurriedly stuffed his phone into the drawer.

The same goes for Wang Ziyi and Yuan Gaofei, staring at He Ping blankly, not knowing what kind of plane he was planning.

Coincidentally, the same is true for Li Xuesong standing on the podium.

Hearing this question, the expression on his face froze.

"Answer, the answer? Hehe, I can't solve such a simple question, so I'm ashamed to ask me the answer." After all, Jiang is still old and spicy. Li Xuesong was a little timid when he was caught off guard, but quickly covered it up with a serious face , and beat back, "I will give you the answer after a while, you should think about it again."

Hearing that he had to wait a few days before announcing the answer, He Ping's expressionless face suddenly distorted a trace of pain for the first time.

"Teacher! Please! Just tell me."

"Uh, I will talk about it, I will talk about it, in two days... I will give you some time to think about it. Actually, this question is just for you to calm down, it is not the focus of our advanced math class, even if you don't know the answer- —”

"I beg you! I haven't slept well for half a week..."

Seeing He Ping hugging his head suddenly with a face of pain, Zhou Xuan sitting next to him was dumbfounded.

Fuck?

Is this crazy?

There was a commotion in the classroom.

Many people began to discuss in confusion.

"Who is that person?"

"I heard that it's the top student in the class who won the provincial first class!"

"Damn it! How did Shujing Sheng study a software major?"

"Who knows, no matter what they read, don't you think it's outrageous to throw us a question that you can't even do in the province?"

"It turns out that people can really be driven crazy by mathematics..."

It wasn't just the couple in dormitory 402 who were dumbfounded, Li Xuesong standing on the podium was also dumbfounded.

This guy……

Could it be stimulated?

I was also a little timid in my heart, this was the first time this bald old guy saw this situation, and hurriedly wanted to change the topic.

"That classmate, I understand that you have a strong thirst for knowledge, but you sit down first, we are going to class soon, if you have any questions, we will talk about them after class is over. By the way, I forgot to roll the roll just now, so I will roll the roll now. ..."

He Ping had a distressed face, still unwilling to sit down.

Obviously this guy was stimulated, and now he was not only fighting with himself, but also fighting with the whole class.

Just as Li Xuesong hurriedly opened the roster, hurried footsteps came from outside the corridor.

Immediately afterwards, the back door opened a crack, and I saw a figure carrying a shoulder bag, trying to sneak in from the outside lightly.

Of course Li Xuesong would not miss such an obvious big black mouse.

Normally, he would just turn a blind eye and close one eye. Originally, college mainly depends on self-awareness. Which teacher might stare at him like a father and a mother like in high school?

But who wants to be so unlucky today?

It hit the muzzle!

Li Xuesong, who was worried that he would not have a chance to find a step down, suddenly turned his face into a chopping board, showed a different momentum, and yelled loudly like cutting meat and vegetables.

"The one who was late."

"Stand for me!"

The sound was like roaring out of a trumpet.

After taking two breaths, Hao Yun pulled away the chair and was about to sit down. He almost couldn't catch his breath, and he was completely confused...
