I really just want to be a scholar

Chapter 466 Interview in the Qiu Tournament Finals
This time Qiu Sai attracted a lot of attention, especially Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun participated in the competition, and their performance in the semi-finals was so outstanding, the media naturally picked up on the news, Qingmu University also wanted to expand the influence of Qiu Sai, Therefore, as long as the formal academic media apply, they will generally be approved to enter the campus for interviews.

Of course, in order to avoid reporters disturbing the candidates, Qingmu University has stipulated that the media are not allowed to enter the examination room, and can only conduct interviews outside the examination room.

When Qin Ke and Ning Qingjun walked hand in hand to the examination room and were still more than a hundred meters away, they saw candidates being stopped by reporters for interviews from a distance, and a camera was set up next to them.

Looking into the examination room, many candidates from other places had already entered the examination room ahead of time, and there was a lot of excitement inside and outside the examination room.

Qin Ke didn't want to be entangled by the reporters, so he turned his head and smiled at Ning Qingyun: "Would you like to do a [-]-meter sprint?"

"Huh?" Ning Qingyun followed Qin Ke's gaze and understood what he meant, nodded and said, "Okay."

"Don't worry, I'll hold you, you won't fall. 123, run!"

Qin Ke pulled the girl with twin ponytails and rushed over like a gust of wind.

The long twin tails fluttered in the wind, and before the reporters could react, the two rushed into the examination room.

Ning Qingyun ran a little short of breath, and her porcelain white and delicate face was flushed after exercise, and the sudden running of the two also attracted the attention of the candidates next to her. Those who knew Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun They greeted each other one after another, and those who didn't know each other cast curious glances.

The three teammates Jiang Zhenjie, Ximen Hui and Gan Zhihang have also arrived, waiting for them near the entrance of the examination room.Gan Zhihang looked a little embarrassed. It was obvious that his performance in the written test was actually lower than that of his four freshman teammates.

Qin Ke went over to say a few polite words to ease the atmosphere, and then led his teammates into the waiting room.

The candidates in the waiting room just glanced at Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun, so they didn't have time to pay too much attention, and continued to look down at the preparation materials.

Qin Ke had nothing to do, and whispered some unpopular details and knowledge points that his teammates might ask.Gan Zhihang was too embarrassed to approach at first, but seeing Jiang Zhenjie and others nodding repeatedly, he finally walked over, and then couldn't move his footsteps after hearing it.

After about half an hour, it was Qin Ke's turn to conduct the interview. Qin Ke smiled at Ning Qingyun and the others, got up and followed the staff through the long corridor and into the examination room.

The examination room is just an ordinary classroom, with a podium, desks and a blackboard. The area is not large, and it can accommodate at most 60 to [-] people.

The staff signaled Qin Ke to stand on the podium and wait for questions, and then closed the door of the examination room to isolate the inside and outside.

The five judges were sitting on the desks on the stage, with name cards in front of them.

Qin Ke recognized Mr. Qiu sitting in the middle at a glance. In addition, looking at the name plates, there are also Professor Nie Yongwen from the Institute of Mathematics of the Xia Ke Academy, Professor Dave Bennings from Harvard University, and Professor Dave Bennings from the University of California, Berkeley. Professor Ariel Cyrus from the branch university, and Professor Carmen Peda from Stanford University.

These professors, Qin Ke, have never heard of them, but Mr. Qiu invited him to be a judge, most of them are also experts in the industry.

Qin Ke bowed slightly and said in English: "Hi, judges and teachers, I am Qin Ke from Qingmu University."

Hearing Qin Ke's name on the report, several judges except Mr. Qiu were obviously surprised, especially Professor Nie Yongwen of the Xia Ke Academy, who looked at Qin Ke with strange eyes, obviously knowing that Qin Ke had a few days ago Performance in Professor Duan's laboratory.

Professor Carmen Peda from Stanford University asked: "Are you Qin Ke who created the 'Lime Number Theory Fourth-Order Transformation Method' and proved the twin prime number conjecture?"

Qin Ke said modestly: "It's just a small achievement, the teachers laughed at me."

Mr. Qiu nodded seriously to Qin Ke, and said to the judges, "Let's start the interview."

Professor Dave Bennings from Harvard University first asked: "Qin Ke, I have read the paper you wrote. You should be familiar with complex variable functions. I won't ask if it is too simple. You can prove it first. Complex number fields All Cauchy sequences on converge to an element of the field of complex numbers."

Changed to other undergraduates, they were probably stunned, because this is already a point of knowledge that is difficult for a doctor, but Qin Ke was relieved. Fortunately, they were asking serious questions, and Qin Ke was afraid that they would ask some tricky and weird questions .

Qin Ke asked: "Teachers, do you need to write it out? Or can you answer it directly?"

"Can you answer directly?" Professor Ariel Cyrus from the University of California, Berkeley asked unexpectedly.

Qin Ke nodded.

Professor Nie Yongwen said directly: "Then just answer." He stared at Qin Ke with stern eyes, obviously wanting to see if he is as "god" as the legend says.

Qin Ke hardly needed to think, and opened his mouth to answer: "The question is actually to prove that the field of complex numbers satisfies the Cauchy convergence criterion, that is, for any given positive number ε, there is always a positive integer N such that when n is greater than N, m When it is greater than N, there are |xn-xm| less than ε..."

In less than 2 minutes, Qin Ke had finished dictating.

The few professors present were all moved, secretly thinking that this Qin Ke is worthy of being a well-known mathematical genius in the world, and he didn't even need a pen and paper to answer such a difficult question that stumped many doctoral students!
The key is to prove that the thinking is clear, the logic is rigorous, and there are no flaws!
Professor Nie Yongwen couldn't help showing a smile: "Okay, I was originally responsible for asking questions about number theory, but your attainments in number theory are better than mine, so I won't make a fool of myself, just ask a question about mathematical physics , you are the only one who got full marks in this subject. Well, I won’t embarrass you, just use mathematics to deduce Ampere’s loop law.”

The so-called Ampere's loop law means that in the magnetic field, the line integral of the magnetic induction intensity B along any closed loop L is equal to μ0 times the algebraic sum of all the currents I passing through the loop, expressed as ∮LB dl= μ0∑Ienc.

This is also a difficult topic for doctoral students.

But in Qin Ke's eyes, there was no difficulty either, and he easily answered the proof process.

Professor Nie Yongwen looked at him for a while, and then sighed: "I really believe what you said a few days ago. Alright, this question tops three, and I will give you full marks for questions in number theory, physics and mathematics." .”

The other two professors also asked two difficult questions, which were also easily solved by Qin Ke.

Finally, Old Mr. Qiu said, "Qin Ke, they don't ask many questions. It's too easy for you to get full marks. I'll just ask three questions."

Qin Ke complained in his heart, the difficulty of one question from the previous judges and teachers was three ordinary questions, okay?Seeing Mr. Qiu's question, Qin Ke cheered up and respectfully said, "Mr. Qiu, tell me."

Old Mr. Qiu asked slowly: "You have been to Princeton University before, so you should know something about the students there. What do you think is the difference between them and Xia Guo students in mathematics learning?"

Qin Ke was stunned. Mr. Qiu's question...does it have anything to do with Qiu Sai?
But since Mr. Qiu asked a question, Qin Ke had no choice but to answer it.

He thought for a while before saying: "My first impression of the students in Princeton University is arrogance. Of course, they have the capital of arrogance. They are indeed very high in mathematics and very flexible in thinking. The strengths of Chinese students are that they are diligent and eager to learn. Recently, there is a hot word called "the small town is a questioner", which basically shows the learning style of Chinese students."

"In addition, students in our country are not as interested in mathematics as ordinary college students. Students in Xiaguo study mathematics for utilitarian purposes, for their future, to change their fate, for the college entrance examination, etc., rather than out of interest or because they really love mathematics. But most of the students in Puda are really interested in mathematics. The topics of communication in their leisure and social activities often revolve around the theme of mathematics.”

"When I gave a report at Pudong University, almost all the students from the Department of Mathematics of Pudong University were present. Even if there was no seat and the crowd was uncomfortable, none of them left early. I also noticed that there was no one in the whole process. Playing on mobile phones, not whispering, just listening intently, and many people are taking notes."

"I don't dare to say how good my report is, but I know that Puda students looked down on Xia Guo students at the beginning, and they were quite repulsed by my report, but when they found that my report was interesting When it is worthwhile, they can let go of their prejudices and come to listen seriously. This also includes professors and lecturers from Pudong University, which should be the tireless atmosphere of Pudu University.”

"On the contrary, I have participated in many lectures in domestic universities, including mathematics lectures. Basically, I can barely fill the seats. Few people stand and listen. There are not a few people who play mobile phones and chat during the whole process."

"To sum up, the advantage of our students is that they can calm down to study difficult problems and implement problem-sea tactics. In terms of foundation, they will be stronger than students in general universities, but they will be inferior in terms of innovation and creativity. They are purely interested in mathematics. , not as good as the students of Puda.”

Old Mr. Qiu nodded approvingly, and asked again: "How do you think Xia Guo should promote mathematics education to improve the overall mathematics level?"

Qin Ke complained again in his heart, isn't this proposition too big?

"Old Mr. Qiu, your question is too difficult. It's really not something that I, a mere freshman, can answer. I can only give my own opinion."

Mr. Qiu waved his hand: "It's okay, I just want to hear your personal opinion."

Qin Ke thought about it and said: "I think that improving Xia's mathematics level is a long-term and arduous task, and there is no way to accomplish it overnight. There are not only historical constraints, but also economic, educational resources, and even cultural factors. However, the first step should be to cultivate students' interest in mathematics, and make the basic education of mathematics as grounded as possible, so that they can apply what they have learned to solve problems in life."

"For example, Ning and I compiled mathematics teaching materials for junior high school and high school. We started from these two aspects. The attractiveness of mathematics was enhanced through the storyline, and the storyline inspired how to apply the mathematics knowledge in junior high school and high school. In this way, we can improve the interest and application of mathematics among middle school students as much as possible in addition to taking exams."

"As for mathematics in college, I think it's right to take elite education. Mathematics is a subject that is more talented. Students who don't like mathematics or have low mathematics talents will basically not choose mathematics majors. But there is also a problem with elite education. , that is, there are higher requirements for educational resources, teachers’ sense of responsibility, and academic level.”

"As far as I know, all the professors in Princeton University are responsible for teaching, even the head of the Department of Mathematics. Therefore, there are plenty of teachers in Princeton University, and they basically teach in small classes. On average, one professor teaches five or six students. Students are taught according to their aptitude. In domestic universities, many professors are not very involved in teaching, which leads to a shortage of teachers. A professor faces dozens or even hundreds of students at the same time. At the end of a semester, except for a few professors Except for students who are outstanding, active and question-loving, most students can’t even remember their names, let alone teach students according to their aptitude. From this point of view, mathematics education in universities is not even as good as in high schools. At least in high schools, mathematics teachers will Care and supervise most of the candidates in the class."

"In addition, there is the issue of academic style, such as eager for quick success and instant benefit, and not being able to concentrate on learning. Both teachers and students have problems in this regard. Of course, as a student, it is inconvenient for me to evaluate elder professors. Please forgive me in this respect, Mr. Qiu."

"Regarding university mathematics education, I think Mr. Qiu's ideas are very good. Whether it is the previous elite class or the current Qiuzhen Academy, they are the seeds of cultivating high-end mathematics talents in terms of teaching staff, responsibility and style of study. These seeds have been sown, and teaching knowledge in the same way will probably be able to drive the line with the point and then drive the surface, improving the overall level of mathematics in Xia Kingdom."

"The above is my humble opinion, please comment on Mr. Qiu." Qin Ke said and bowed slightly.

"You little slicker, you have mentioned the key issues in one stroke, but you are flattering me. But..." Old Mr. Qiu looked at Qin Ke for a while, and finally smiled: "You and Ning Qingyun made up the lecture The supplementary materials are indeed very good, and they are very helpful for promoting the basic knowledge of mathematics. The differences between the students of Pudong University and Xiaguo students that you just analyzed are quite in place. You pass the test. Finally, I will ask you a question."

"You ask."

"I know you will graduate from your undergraduate degree in your sophomore year. Are you interested in teaching at Qiuzhen Academy?"

Qin Ke didn't expect that Mr. Qiu would throw an olive branch to him, and after thinking about it, he said carefully: "If you don't dislike my shallow level, I can go to Qiuzhen Academy to serve as a lecturer for some subjects. The specific courses and schedule are as follows: When will we discuss it again?"

"Yes." Old Mr. Qiu was quite satisfied with Qin Ke's reply, and waved his hand to signal that he could leave.

Qin Ke left the examination room and closed the door behind him.

I don't know how I did in this interview, but judging by the attitude of the judges, it shouldn't be bad, right?
After the interview, you can't go back to the examination room, so you can only take another exit at the end of the corridor. Qin Ke was thinking whether to wait for Ning Qingyun outside the examination room, but he was "caught" by a group of reporters as soon as he went out. I can accept an interview.

"Student Qin Ke, are you confident in winning the gold medal of the Individual All-Around Award in this Qiu competition?"

"It depends on the results of today's interview."

"How much do you think you can score in today's interview?"

"You'll have to ask the judges about that."

"What do you think of Qiu Sai?"

"Very good, it helps to stimulate students' interest and enthusiasm in mathematics."

Qin Ke has very rich experience in interviews, and he knows that he should not be too personal in front of the media, let alone speak casually, especially now that he is too famous, and if he can't express clearly, he will be criticized by the media and cause an uproar, so his The answers were all concise and positive, and those who were unwilling to answer avoided the important ones or simply refused to answer them.

Seeing whether Qin Ke was slippery or not, the reporters couldn't get enough exciting answers, so they reluctantly gave up and interviewed other students.

So Qin Ke was able to lean on the pillar with his arms folded and wait for Ning Qingyun to finish the exam, but unexpectedly received a call from Zhou Shutao, the general manager of Lime Technology.

"Boss Qin, I have something to report to you."
