Chapter 32 This is so ironic
“If I guessed correctly, you are Ning Chen’s classmate, right?”
Hearing Tong Yicheng’s words, Ning Chen was also a little surprised. He had not done it before. I met Tong Yicheng, but he was immediately recognized by Tong Yicheng.
The other students were also a little confused about the situation in front of them and looked at Ning Chen curiously.
“Yes, I am Ning Chen.”
Because Tong Yicheng often helps teachers with students, he has had contact with many undergraduate students majoring in mathematics.
Tong Yicheng has not met Ning Chen before, but Ning Chen is the only unfamiliar student in this classroom, so Tong Yicheng can make such a judgment.
"Ning Chen, I have finally met you in person. Your article "New Exact Solution to the Sine-Gordon Equation with Variable Coefficients" really impressed me very much. Teacher Yang has always asked me Study more with you, hey, if I had written that paper, I wouldn’t have to worry about not graduating.”
Speaking of which, this is the first time Tong Yicheng has heard that there is a material major. When the freshman published a second-district mathematics paper, Tong Yicheng was a little skeptical.
But when Tong Yicheng carefully studied Ning Chen's paper, he gradually realized the subtleties of Ning Chen's research.
Tong Yicheng admired a genius like Ning Chen from the bottom of his heart, even though Ning Chen was several years younger than him.
Tong Yicheng's attitude towards Ning Chen was very enthusiastic, which was in sharp contrast to others.
Seeing Tong Yicheng's attitude, the other students were very surprised.
"Senior Brother Tong, are you saying that this freshman majoring in materials science has already published a paper?" Zhu Yi asked.
Although the official website of Shengzhou University released the news that Ning Chen published a paper, this did not actually attract the attention of undergraduate students majoring in mathematics.
After all, they have not yet entered the stage of scientific research, so being able to be shortlisted for training in this competition is already something that makes them very proud.
"Of course, why else would Teacher Yang let Ning Chen come to participate in the training? Don't think you are great. In terms of competition, you may not be able to compare with others!"
Tong Yicheng's words were like a basin of cold water poured on them, which made them lose their temper all of a sudden.
It is indeed an irony that the person they looked down on before is praised by their senior brother.
“Being able to publish papers does not necessarily mean that the competition must be great...”
Zhu Yi didn't give in, but his voice was much softer when he said this.
Ning Chen's mood was still very calm, and he was not affected by the outside world.
Ning Chen knew clearly that competition and scientific research were indeed two different things. People who could do scientific research well might not be very good at competition.
But Ning Chen believes that he can do both competition and scientific research well at the same time.
In the following time, Tong Yicheng told everyone about some things about the competition.
Tong Yicheng once participated in high school mathematics competitions in high school, and also participated in competitions such as the National Undergraduate Mathematics Competition and the National Undergraduate Mathematical Modeling Competition in college. He has rich experience in competitions. In the subsequent training, Tong Yicheng will continue to participate in some tutoring work to help everyone improve their ability in mathematics competitions in various subjects.
At 9 o'clock, the teacher in charge of the competition finally came.
This time, a man with glasses and a messy hair style came in.
It is Liao Jun, the teacher in charge of training for this competition.
But compared to Tong Yicheng, Liao Jun's baldness was more serious. Ning Chen seemed to see what Tong Yicheng would look like in the future from Liao Jun's body.
"I'm a little late for something, Issei, you go ahead and do your work first."
"Okay, Teacher Liao."
Liao Jun didn't say much. No nonsense, he went straight to the point and explained about Qiu Chengtong's college student mathematics competition.
Ning Chen had already known a lot of things here before, but Ning Chen still got some new information from them.
"One point that is particularly emphasized is that this Qiuchengtong College Student Mathematics Competition will be answered in English. Therefore, during the training stage, we must learn relevant English knowledge to be able to read without any barriers. "
Hearing Liao Jun's words, the students below couldn't help but sigh.
"Teacher, why do you need to answer the questions in English? Can't you translate the questions?"
"Yes, even IMO you don't need to answer the questions in English, how come you are here? Is it all in English? Isn’t this competition for students from China?”
As undergraduate science students, many people are not very good at English, at least not enough to understand the English questions. , and answer the questions in English.
Ning Chen didn't mind such a request. With the professional vocabulary he had learned when writing papers, Ning Chen felt that answering the questions in English would not be a big problem.
“This rule was specifically requested by Professor Qiu Chengtong. Although this is a competition for Chinese college students, many foreign teachers will participate in the marking process. You will read it later For research, many of the documents you come into contact with are in English, and the same is true for writing papers. It will definitely be beneficial to you to learn professional English vocabulary early.”
Ning Chen also agreed with Liao Jun’s point of view. , if you cannot master professional English vocabulary, you will indeed have great limitations in the process of learning and research.
Although everyone is a little dissatisfied with this rule, after all, they cannot change the rules. Since they have chosen to participate in competition training, they can only abide by the requirements of the competition.
“This competition is divided into five individual categories, namely analysis and differential equations, probability and statistics, geometry and topology, applied and computational mathematics, algebra and number theory. Each of you choose the one you are best at. For the individual events, everyone will focus on this individual event in the subsequent training. We will also use the training results to determine the final five members who will participate in the team competition.”
“Because in the team competition, each member can only be responsible for one subject, so only the best person in each subject can be selected to become the final team member.”
After listening to Liao Jun’s speech During the explanation, a classmate raised his hand and asked:
"Teacher Liao, can everyone apply for multiple items at the same time?"
"This is also possible, according to the rules, as long as you are willing. If so, you can sign up for all five events. Of course, I suggest you focus on one of them."
Liao Jun knows that the students at Shengzhou University are not very strong. Learning one subject well is already very impressive, but juggling multiple subjects at the same time will only lead to the loss of one.
