9 month 6 day.

Today is the first day of graduate school at MIT.

Chari, who is already in his second year of graduate school this year, volunteered to take on the role of welcoming first-year graduate students in the Department of Mathematics.

Sitting under the welcome tent, Chali was lying on the table, swiping his phone boredly.

The School of Science at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology admits only a small number of graduate students each year.

Especially in the mathematics department, they admitted less than 30 freshmen this year.

Of course, this is not the reason for the unpopularity of this major.

MIT focuses on quality, not quantity.These are less than thirty graduate students, but they are top mathematical geniuses who have been screened from all over the world.

Taking out one at random is enough to crush those top mathematics majors in ordinary universities.

There were very few people reporting, and Chali's work was not too busy. After asking a new reporter to fill out the report form, Chali continued to swipe his phone with his head down.

Opening the mathematics section of the ResearchGate forum, and seeing that the post on the top was still Ueda Shinichi's reply to Cheng Nuo's confusion, there was a look of nostalgia in Chali's eyes.

It has been more than ten days. I wonder where the great master has gone. How are you doing?
"Student, I'll report!" Cha Li, who was deep in thought, suddenly heard a slightly familiar voice from above his head.

"Oh, tell me your name..." Student Chali looked up, but when he saw the face that he missed day and night, his eyes widened abruptly.

"Great God, you, you..."

Cheng Nuo smiled, "Student Chali, long time no see!"

…………

At noon, in a coffee shop in the school.

Student Chali obviously hasn't recovered from the previous shock.

He hesitated for a while, swallowed, and said hesitantly, "Master, aren't you a doctoral student?"

Cheng Nuo took a sip of coffee and smacked it in his mouth. It was a bit bitter.

He laughed, "Who told you I'm a doctoral student?"

"But, God, you..." Student Chali didn't know what to say.

With Cheng Nuo's previous strength, if Cheng Nuo's appearance does not look like he has graduated, Chali almost regards Cheng Nuo as a young mathematician who has graduated for several years.

But today, when he found out that the doctoral senior who he admired so much in his heart was actually his junior in the first year of research, Chali felt that his three views were about to collapse.

Could it be that the current first-year graduate students are all so perverted? !

"Are you a little disappointed?" Cheng Nuo asked.

"No, no, no!" Chali shook his head like a rattle.

Knowing Cheng Nuo's true identity, Cheng Nuo's status in the eyes of Chali's classmates not only did not decline, but even increased a lot.

A fellow junior in the first year of graduate school!

Dashen was so good when he was in the first year of research, so when he graduated as a doctoral student, wouldn't it be...

Student Chali could no longer imagine.

This thigh may be very slender at present, but in the future, it may not have the potential to become a towering tree.

Silently, Chali made a decision.

…………

There is a big difference between the graduate level and the undergraduate level in the Department of Mathematics.

The first is the reduction of courses and the increase of time for internships and projects.Even if you skip classes, fail classes, etc., as long as it is not too much, no one will take care of it.

In three years, the chances for a class to get together are probably only two times: the opening class meeting and taking graduation photos.

There are only 2022 graduate students in the Department of Mathematics in the class of 28, including Cheng Nuo.

Among them, [-] are from the United States, and the other eight are students from major universities in the world.As for the Chinese, there was only Cheng Nuo.

The first class of the term will be held at [-]:[-] pm and the counselor will be present.

There are only two things in the class meeting, one is the formal selection of the class committee, and the other is the two-way selection of graduate tutors and students.

The Massachusetts Institute of Technology implements the form of first admission, and then the selection of graduate tutors.

In fact, for most students, the choice of a postgraduate tutor is no different from filling in the second college entrance examination in terms of importance.

There is also a large gap in strength, conduct and connections between postgraduate tutors and postgraduate tutors.

If you choose an irresponsible tutor who also goes out on business from time to time, and you don’t see a tutor two or three times a year, then your academic journey can be said to be half way down!

Of course, you can’t just focus on the quality of your tutor, without considering whether the research direction of your tutor coincides with your own planned future research direction.

This was the opinion that student Chali gave Cheng Nuo as a "experienced person".

Cheng Nuo didn't care.

After lunch, he walked around the campus, and according to the timing, Cheng Nuo rushed to the classroom where the meeting was held.

Almost everyone in the classroom had arrived, and Cheng Nuo casually found an empty seat and sat down.

I don't know anyone, and they all have western faces, no matter where they sit.

After glancing at it, Cheng Nuo couldn't help saying MMP and almost said it again.

28 people, all gay men, no women.

Before, a pack of wolves would grab a piece of meat, but this time, there was no one to eat the meat, so the wolves had to eat the wolves.

Their counselor is a chubby middle-aged man with a Maitreya-like smile on his face.

It is still the usual process, after a brief self-introduction, it is the selection of the class committee.

At the postgraduate stage, the form of the class committee is greater than the meaning.

After a simple vote, a native American with gold-rimmed eyes who obtained the postgraduate qualifications at the undergraduate level was awarded the position of monitor.

With the idea of ​​everyone participating, Cheng Nuo continued to apply for the position of study committee member, but unfortunately he failed.

The selection of class committee members is just the appetizer, and the two-way selection between graduate tutors and graduate students is the top priority.

The counselor received a call, he asked everyone to rest for a while, and then hurried out.

In the classroom, there was an instant chatter.

"The instructor is going to invite our instructor?"

"It should be. To be honest, I feel very nervous now!"

"Me too! I heard that Professor Barney will be the tutor of this year's graduate students. I don't know if I can be attracted by him."

"Professor Barney, you're talking about that Professor Barney who won the Ramanujan Award last year for a paper on twin prime numbers? That's a real-boss!"

"Yes, that's the one! I really want to be his student!"

Amidst the discussions among the crowd, the classroom door was pushed in.

The chubby instructor walked in first, followed by ten professors.

These ten, without exception, are all teachers who have obtained a doctorate in science and a professorship.

Every one of them is enough to be offered by those ordinary colleges and universities.

But here, it's just a group of tutors for graduate students.
