I Just Want to Be a Quiet Top Student

Shen Qi walked to the information billboard at the entrance of the building of the Shuyuan Building, and stopped.

Some important information is posted on the board.

"Professor Cheng Qigang of our school joined forces with the School of Computer Science to overcome the 863 project and was selected into the list of 'Outstanding Youth'."

"Dr. Nian Ruiming of our school published a paper on Ann-Math, making breakthrough research progress in the field of group theory."

"Mr. Peter-Lax, an honorary doctor of our school, will give a lecture on November 3rd. The main content of the lecture is: functional analysis and fluid mechanics, application of partial differential equations, numerical analysis and calculation."

"Mr. P. Griffith, a visiting professor of our school, will give lectures from November to December, and will give lectures on the course "Algebraic Curves."

...

"Brilliant people, all are good people." Shen Qi stopped in front of the billboard for a long time, reading each notice message one by one.

"A cow?" Suddenly a man's voice came from behind.

"Of course." Shen Qi looked back, quite surprised: "Editor Nian."

Nian Ruiming said with a smile, "I'm laid off, and I'm handing over work. I'm about to step down as the editor-in-chief of "Mathematics Herald."

"This... can't be done!" Shen Qi felt puzzled. Editor-in-Chief Nian published a JAMS paper at the beginning of this year, an Ann-Math paper at the end of the year, and two papers in the four major international mathematics journals within a year. Why are breeders laid off? Moreover, the editor-in-chief of the year is very young, only in his early forties, and he is in his prime.

"The new position is still in the number of institutes, mainly to do projects and lead the team." Nian Ruiming said.

"It turns out that Teacher Nian has been promoted, so I'll just tell you!" Shen Qi's doubts were resolved.

"I've been transferred to a new position. I'm building a new team. Are you interested in joining Shen Qi?" Nian Ruiming asked.

"I'm working on a project with Professor Sun."

"After Lao Sun's project is finished, my team welcomes you." Nian Ruiming is eager for talents, and he is about to leave the editorial department of "Mathematics Herald". He really has no capable people under him.

This... is this asking me to betray my grandson? Come out to hang out, the most important thing is to show loyalty. Shen Qi said: "Mr. Nian, I'm just a sophomore, so I'm afraid I'm not capable enough."

"I like sophomores the most, and Shen Qi, you are not an ordinary sophomore. In one year, the School of Mathematical Sciences has already paid you nearly 100,000 yuan for the page. For a sophomore like you, there has never been a sophomore in the history of the School of Mathematical Sciences." Appeared." Nian Ruiming expressed his appreciation to Shen Qi.

Shen Qi had published several core journal papers and SCI papers before, and the journals charged page fees.

The page fee for core journals is not cheap, with an average price of 20,000 yuan.

The page fee of nearly 100,000 yuan was paid for by Shen Qi.

In actual projects, the main force of a research team is doctoral students, and there are also excellent graduate students who can take on important tasks.

There are almost no undergraduates in the teams of major projects, Shen Qi and Ouye are exceptions.

Shen and Ou have already made a name for themselves in the Mathematics Institute. They go to the SOS subject office every day and hang out in the same mathematics building. Nian Ruiming has already figured out the situation.

Nian Ruiming likes to take care of undergraduates. Undergraduates are very malleable, while postgraduates and doctoral students are basically finalized.

Especially Shen Qi, an atypical undergraduate with graduate level, is a rare talent.

"If Ouye is willing, you two can join my team together." Nian Ruiming threw out an olive branch again, intending to buy Shen and Ou as a package: "Old Sun, I will say hello."

Oh, Ouye has also become a popular stock?

Shen Qi was noncommittal: "After Professor Sun's project is over, and I haven't reported to Princeton, Ouye and I will consider Teacher Nian's suggestion."

"If you can't go to Princeton, just follow me to do a combined master's and doctoral degree." Nian Ruiming was straightforward, and added: "I graduated from Princeton with a Ph.D. and worked at New York University for two years."

Nian Ruiming pointed to the head portrait of Peter-Lax on the notice board: "At that time, Mr. Lax was teaching at New York University, and I was his assistant."

In terms of personal academic experience, Nian Ruiming is more promising and younger than Sun Erxiong. He is a key academic leader trained by Yanda Mathematics Institute.

"Shen Qi, think about it." Nian Ruiming stopped and left.

When he walked to the gate, Nian Ruiming turned around and said, "You can go to Mr. Lax's lecture, if your English listening is good enough. The old man has a very strong accent."

Shen Qi took out his mobile phone and took pictures of all the information on the board.

"Hey, Shen Qi." At this time, another middle-aged man passing by greeted Shen Qi, and he entered the mathematics building from the outside.

"Hey, Professor Cheng." Shen Qi knew Professor Cheng Qigang, and he knew all the famous professors in this building.

"You have a good relationship with Ouye, right?" Professor Cheng asked.

"It's okay." Shen Qi said.

Professor Cheng: "I'm mainly in charge of research in the direction of computational mathematics. Help me ask if Ouye is interested in my graduate studies?"

"You can ask her yourself." Shen Qi pointed to the SOS project office.

"I asked, she doesn't seem to be very good at communicating with people." Professor Cheng shook his head helplessly, and then said with a smile: "And Ouye said, she will go wherever you go. So, the key is you, Shen Qi. "

Ouye has really become a popular stock, and her title of "Computer Ji" has spread in the mathematics building.

This is thanks to Sun Erxiong and Sun Dazui, the old Sun always brags when he meets everyone. The two undergraduates I lead are very fierce. One is professional and knowledgeable, and the other is extremely talented in mathematical calculations.

Undergraduates take on key projects, and they are about to produce results. You have never seen this kind of undergraduates, have you? My old grandson has one, and two more, in pairs.

It's so awesome that young backbone academic leaders such as Nian Ruiming and Cheng Qigang all came to poach Lao Sun's corner.

Nian Ruiming won the title of "Outstanding Youth" a few years ago when he was less than forty years old.

Cheng Qigang was selected into the list of "Outstanding Youth" not long ago. He is exactly 40 years old this year.

Although the title of "Outstanding Youth" bears the word "youth", the scientific researchers who have won this title are often not young. It is almost impossible to see those under the age of 35, and the average age is about 40 years old.

According to the social age classification, residents who have reached the age of 28 automatically withdraw from the Communist Youth League, and officially bid farewell to the youth stage of life.

30-40 years old belong to young and middle-aged people, and those over 40 years old can be called uncles and aunts.

Of course, only in the field of scientific research, scientific researchers in their thirties and forties are relatively young.

Professor Cheng Qigang specializes in computational mathematics. The 863 project jointly tackled by him and the School of Computer Science of Yanda University is related to intelligent computer systems.

Also thirsty for talent, Professor Cheng hopes that "Computer Ji" will join his team.

However, "Calculating Ji" followed Shen Qi wholeheartedly, and buying this stock alone could not be operated, so she had to buy it together with Shen Qi.

"Well, Professor Cheng, I'll talk to Ouye later." Shen Qi said, he personally thinks that Professor Cheng's professional computing team is more suitable for Ouye's academic characteristics.

After bidding farewell to Professor Cheng, Shen Qi wandered around the campus of Yanda University. When he met a foreign student, he chatted with the foreign student and spoke English.

Shen Qi is about to take the TOEFL and GRE exams, and Shen Qi needs to practice his English listening and speaking skills to find out how he feels.

GRE is equivalent to the American Graduate Admissions Examination. It was originally jointly organized by four top American universities: Harvard, Yale, Princeton, and Columbia.

Compared with the non-constant equilibrium solution of the bipolar non-isentropic Euler-Poisson equation, the math part of the GRE is too easy for Shen Qi, and the V and writing parts are not difficult.

To put it bluntly, GRE is a written test paper. The test is a computer-based test, which is equivalent to putting the test paper on a computer. There is no listening and speaking test.

Instead, it was TOEFL, Shen Qi was afraid of failing in listening and speaking.

The new TOEFL has four parts: listening, speaking, reading and writing, three of which require candidates to have a strong listening ability.

Shen Qi's way of practicing listening and speaking is to chat with Wai Guoren, bragging all over the world.

Participating in English lectures is also a good way to practice, especially the lectures on mathematics, which kills two birds with one stone.
