After saying that to the outside world, Wang Donglai stopped paying attention to outside information.
But I have been busy with one thing, which is to compile an exam registration system.
At the same time, Wang Donglai is also preparing to record the answers to the questions he is going to ask this time in the system. In this way, he can pass the preliminary screening by the machine and save a lot of energy.
After all, I am recruiting graduate students myself. Now that it has become a big deal, many people must choose to sign up for the 200,000 yuan.
When there are more people, it becomes troublesome to approve test papers.
Fortunately, high-tech technology can be used to solve this problem.
Wang Donglai is not worried about whether someone will cheat in the open-book exam.
Because mathematics is different from other majors, if you can, you can, and if you can’t, you can’t.
The test paper he will give this time will not have many questions, only three questions.
But these three questions were all specially thought up by him. If he did not reach the mathematical level recognized by him, it would be impossible to solve them.
Even someone who can do it easily has to be a mathematics professor at the lowest status.
And such a scholar would naturally not be able to help others cheat for 200,000 yuan.
The reason is also very simple. After entering the written examination, Wang Donglai will also conduct an interview.
If the interview performance is poor, it means there is a problem with the written test. If news of cheating breaks out again, it will be more loss than gain.
Not to mention.
Wang Donglai also had another idea, that is, the test questions this time should be more difficult, and they are designed to test, not select.
With this thought in mind, Wang Donglai kept moving.
A simple system for registering for the exam was quickly written.
After completing the system, Wang Donglai did not hesitate and sent it directly to the office of the president of Tangdu Jiaotong University.
This time the registration is handled by Tangdu Jiaotong University.
After all, recruiting graduate students is an academic matter, and it is somewhat inconvenient to leave it to Galaxy Technology.
After getting the registration system, Tangdu Jiaotong University asked for instructions and immediately announced the news to the public.
Soon.
The number of people signing up has increased rapidly.
Among them are those who really want to take Wang Donglai's postgraduate examination, and there are also many who are just pretending to be just for fun.
Ten thousand!
Fifty thousand!
One hundred thousand!
Seeing the number of applicants soar to 100,000, it triggered a frenzy of discussion.
“The latest news is that the number of applicants exceeds 100,000. The competition is too fierce!”
"In my opinion, 100,000 people is probably not the limit. Maybe it will go up even more!"
"There are millions of people applying for graduate school every year, and 100,000 is just a drop in the bucket!"< br>
“I heard that there are only three places for graduate students this time, wouldn’t it mean that the rest are all cannon fodder!”
“Let me tell you the truth. Come on, of the 100,000 people who signed up, 5,000 are mathematics majors, which is already considered high. It is estimated that 99% of them chose to sign up just for fun.”
"I can prove that I am one of the 100,000 applicants. The reason why I chose to register is to witness how difficult Wang Donglai's questions are."
"The open-book exam also claims that as long as you pass, you can get 200,000 yuan. I want to see how many people can get the 200,000 yuan!"
"If I change my professional field, I guarantee that I can get it. Let Wang Donglai be an eye-opener!"
"What are you calling Wang Dong? Come on, call me Wang Shen!”
“I regret that I was born a year earlier, and now I am in my second year of graduate school!”
“I am more curious about what the questions will be in the test paper then! So, shouldn’t you come up with a world problem?”
"..."
Everyone has it online, and there are all kinds of comments.
In the field of mathematics among universities, Wang Donglai is also paying great attention to Wang Donglai's recruitment of graduate students this time.
Mathematics is different from other majors. At the undergraduate level, it is just because I randomly chose a major after the college entrance examination, or it was a decision made in a moment of enthusiasm.
But when I reached the postgraduate stage, I really liked mathematics as a major.
Moreover, he also has very good talents and can develop in the field of mathematics. Otherwise, he would not be able to study at the postgraduate level, let alone study at the postgraduate level.
Who is Wang Donglai?
He became famous all over the world in his twenties!
Won a number of top international awards, and even received important honors in other fields.
Adams Prize in Chemistry, Second Prize of the National Science and Technology Progress Award...
The world's mathematical problems proved by Wang Donglai include ABC conjecture, Zhou's conjecture, Mersenne's prime number distribution law and exact formula, etc.
Among them, Wang Donglai's idea of proving mathematical problems is still being studied, as evidenced by the continuous publication of papers.
The old 'Emperor of Mathematics' Grothendieck passed away, but in the eyes of many people, Wang Donglai is a new sun that is about to rise.
The same sentence.
Too young!
Otherwise, the academic circle of mathematics would have long been dominated by Wang Donglai.
Now, I heard that Wang Donglai wanted to recruit graduate students.
This means that as long as you are selected by Wang Donglai this time, you will be the first batch of students under Wang Donglai, and your relationship will naturally be the closest.
It not only represents academic progress, but also represents the improvement of academic status.
You only need to write Wang Donglai’s name on your paper or resume to get super-standard treatment.
So, in this way, a very embarrassing thing happened.
That’s the registration exam this time. Not only senior students are signing up, but even some first- and second-year graduate students are also interested.
The brave one mustered up the courage to mention it to his mentor carefully.
Unexpectedly, in the face of such a situation, the instructor was very talkative. He first agreed to register and then reported the matter to his superiors.
Finally, the universities communicated and reported to the competent authorities.
After some urgent discussions, the colleges and universities received a reply that students were not prohibited from registering for the exams and that everything would be done after the exams were completed.
……
Yanda, School of Mathematical Sciences.
Wei Shen walked to the door of the dean's office, knocked gently, then opened the door and walked in.
In the office, Tian Gang was busy handling matters at his desk with his head down. When he heard the door open, he looked up.
"Dongyi, why are you here? Have you finished the homework I assigned you? It's just in time. I still have a copy of the questions I just wrote in my hand. You can take it and review it!"
Tian Gang said, getting ready to take action.
At this time, Wei Dongyi spoke up and said: "Tutor, I want to sign up to see what kind of questions Professor Wang will ask. I just want to take this opportunity to see what kind of questions I have with my peers." How big the gap is between people.”
Tian Gang actually thought of this when he saw Wei Dongyi coming in.
As the dean of the School of Mathematical Sciences at Yanda and an academician of the National Academy of Sciences, Tian Gang’s IQ cannot be bad.
Before Wang Donglai came out, Tian Gang had always been satisfied with Wei Dongyi's performance. He has shown an IQ that is beyond ordinary people since he was a child, and he has a special talent for mathematics.
After entering university, I didn’t stick to things. I could spend a whole day sitting in the library with a bucket of water and a few steamed buns. I couldn’t say I was not serious about my study attitude.
So, Tian Gang decided very early on to accept Wei Dongyi as a graduate student, and he also wanted to study for a master's degree and a Ph.D.
However, when Wang Donglai was born.
Wei Dongyi's performance was a little disappointing. In terms of academic achievements, the two were not at the same level.
At that time, Tian Gang also thought about poaching Wang Donglai to Yan Dalai, but Yan Dalai and Wudaokou made two attempts and failed to accomplish this, so he gradually gave up on the matter.
Tian Gang still chose to recruit Wei Dongyi as his student, studying for a master's degree and a Ph.D.
Wei Dongyi is three years older than Wang Donglai, but their achievements and status in the academic field are very different.
Now that Wang Donglai wants to recruit graduate students, Wei Dongyi cannot remain indifferent.
Therefore, Tian Gang was not surprised to hear Wei Dongyi's words.
“I knew you would come to me.”
“Being able to study with Wang Donglai is also a good opportunity for you.”
“ I have to admit that Wang Donglai’s academic achievements far exceed mine. You are both young people and have more common topics. , if you study with him, it will be more helpful to you in the future."
When Tian Gang said this, Wei Dongyi spoke and said: "Teacher, I am not going to change my tutor. I want to see the gap between me and him. It would be best if we could communicate more with him and learn from him.”
Hearing what Wei Dongyi said, Tian Gang didn't show it on the surface, but he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
In fact, he is not willing to send his students out.
"Actually, this matter is very simple. In two days, Professor Wang will come to Yanda for exchange and study. Just like he did at Wudaokou in the first half of the year, I can make arrangements for you to stay with him. Study hard!"
"You must prepare well for the registration test this time and get a good result when the time comes."
Wei Dongyi nodded and said: "Well, I will try my best!"
"Okay, then go down and get ready!"
Tian Gang waved his hand and motioned for Wei Dongyi to go down.
Watching Wei Dongyi go down, Tian Gang shook his head and sighed softly, with a complicated expression.
“The waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead!”
……
There are only two days to register.
The exam officially started at 12 noon on the third day.
Because it was an open-book exam, the test questions came out not long after the exam started.
There are three questions in total.
The first question, ‘Can the chair be stable on uneven ground? ' Among the assumptions, change the connection line of the four legs from a square to a rectangle, and keep the rest unchanged. Try to construct a model and solve it.
When this question was posted, many people read it several times without understanding what it meant.
And that's not the most important thing.
The most noticeable thing is that this question was specially labeled with a 'simple score-sending question'.
Yes, this label appears directly on the test paper.
For the second question, the label changed and became ‘slightly difficult’.
Use rectangular plates of known size to process discs with a certain radius. Several simple and effective arrangement methods are given to process as many discs as possible.
As for the third question, it is even simpler.
Use a ruler and compass to construct a square whose area is equal to the area of the known circle.
These three questions attracted great attention once they were interviewed online.
However.
As time passed, no one said anything useful about these three questions.
As for the reason, it couldn’t be simpler.
The undergraduate rate in our country was still 1.6 per 1,000 in 2015, which means that out of 2,000 people, only three people have a bachelor's degree.
There are even fewer people with master's and doctoral degrees.
As for the three questions posted by Wang Donglai, undergraduates who are not majoring in mathematics may not even be able to figure them out.
It can even be said that students majoring in professional mathematics have only just touched the threshold.
But if you want to answer it, or answer part of it, it depends on your true ability.
After all, this exam is an open-book exam, and you can access the Internet, check information, and read papers.
Since such conditions can be given, it means having absolute confidence in these three questions.
Knowing people frowned immediately when they saw these three questions.
Without him, it would be too difficult!
Each question is more difficult than the last.
The last question, if you can answer it, will be published directly in top international mathematics journals without any pressure!
And, you will also get some awards for it.
It can be seen that the three questions Wang Donglai asked this time were very difficult.
To be honest, Wang Donglai considered the difficulty when writing these three questions.
This was also intentional on his part.
After all, he recruited graduate students to learn from him, not to discuss academic matters with him.
The difficulty is increased mainly to be able to see the candidates' thinking and process of answering, so as to make accurate judgments and select candidates with potential.
As for the people who joined in the fun, Wang Donglai didn't consider their psychological shadow at all.
After seeing these three questions, netizens paused for a while before speaking one after another.
“I know every Chinese character, why don’t I understand its meaning when they are put together?!”
“Don’t blame you, I am the same way, I read it again Again, I didn’t understand it at all!”
“I finally understood it!” You know, why do you dare to take an open-book exam? Even if you ask me to copy such a question, I have no place to copy it!” The ideas and answers to the questions will never be regretted! ”
"I'm offering a reward of 150,000 yuan for answers and ideas. As long as I can pass the exam, the price is negotiable!"
"Good guy, all the abacus beads are flying!"
"I have a rumor. I heard that the higher-ups intend to let Professor Wang be the one to set the questions for this postgraduate entrance examination. This means that this year's postgraduate entrance examination questions may be written by Professor Wang. ! ”
“It doesn’t matter, I don’t believe it. There are still people who can do this kind of problem. Everyone can do it and everyone can’t do it. In fact, the result is the same!”
“ Real-name authentication, I am a graduate student in the Department of Mathematics at Jiaotong University in Shanghai. After reading these three questions just now, my mind is broken and I have no idea at all.”
"That's it. If my instructor knows that I can't even solve the simplest first question among these three questions, I will probably postpone my graduation!"
"Strongly condemned, professional players are not allowed to participate. ! ”
Various comments made the difficulty of the test paper suddenly become a hot word and appeared on the Internet platform. (End of this chapter)
