Chapter 219： Classmate Lu Zhou, do you want to come to my postgraduate exam?

Ludao University, founded in 1921 by Mr. Tan Kah Kee, a patriotic overseas Chinese leader, is the first university founded by overseas Chinese in the history of modern education in China, one of the earliest universities in China to recruit graduate students, and the first university to build an independent campus overseas.

The four campuses cover an area of ​​9,700 acres, with more than 40,000 students, 2,662 full-time teachers, and 22 academicians of the two academies.

Guanghua University faced Ludao University, at least from the current situation, it was a child facing a giant.

Except for the recent photonic screen and the optical core under development, the rest have not been played at all.

Zheng Tianyu stood at the gate of Ludao University, looking up at the grand gate with admiration.

Zhang Lei, who was on the side, said with admiration: "It is indeed the No. 1 university in Hu Province. It's really cool and awesome, and non-faculty and students can't enter."

Zheng Tianyu followed Zhang Lei's line of sight. At the entrance of the school gate, a family of four seemed to be arguing with the security guard.

Huaxia's universities are open, and anyone can enter the campus, with the exception of a few schools.

For example, Tsinghua University in Beijing, Peking University, Ludao University in Ludao, and Soochow University in Gusu City.

Because of the beautiful campuses of these schools, the number of tourists has been too large, which has seriously affected the students' classes, and the schools had to become closed.

If you want to enter the tour, you can make an appointment through the public account.

And this time is also strictly required, and can only enter on weekends, holidays and winter and summer vacations.

However, although Tsinghua and Peking University are closed campuses, students from the two schools can communicate with each other with their student ID cards.

It is still a working day, and the family obviously does not know about the campus control of Ludao University.

"Okay, we should go in." Lu Zhou raised his glasses and walked forward.

Zheng Tianyu and Zhang Lei also quickly followed.

The defense was 9:00 in the morning, but the three of them went out after 7:00, and it was only 8:00 when they arrived at Luda.

The three arrived early, on the one hand, they were worried about missing time, and on the other hand, they also wanted to take this opportunity to visit Ludao University.

Although I have been a sophomore and came to Ludao for a year, this is the first time I have come to Ludao University.

The family of four at the entrance also knew that they could not get in, so they had to give up the idea of ​​entering, and complained about the departure of Ludao University.

The security guard at the door saw the three of Zheng Tianyu approaching and said, "It's not the weekend, so tourists can't enter."

Zheng Tianyu took a step forward and said, "We are participating in the defense of the Mathematical Modeling Contest."

"Please show proof."

"Hold on."

After showing the proof, the three were able to pass and successfully entered Ludao University.

The campus scenery of Ludao University is really good, the trees are shady, and the swans can be heard when passing by Furong Lake.

The most beautiful is the Phoenix tree on both sides of the road.

There is a saying in the phoenix tree of Ludao University that flowers bloom for two seasons, one season old students leave, and one season new students come.

It is now golden autumn and October, and part of the phoenix flowers can still be seen.

Zhang Lei raised his head and said with emotion: "The flowers on this tree are very beautiful."

Zheng Tianyu, who has been observing the environment of Ludao University, pondered and said, "From the perspective of the campus environment, I feel that Luda is not much different from our Guanghua."

Lu Zhou nodded and said, "It's almost the same."

Zheng Tianyu retracted his gaze, he looked at Lu Zhou, and said solemnly: "Today's defense is up to you, Lu Zhou."

Lu Zhou replied calmly, "Don't worry."

The defense is entered in order. Each time you enter a group, it can be one of the three team members, or it can be all three.

Zheng Tianyu's group of three all went in, and the defense was mainly handed over to Lu Zhou, while Zheng Tianyu was responsible for supplements. As for Zhang Lei...he was responsible for making soy sauce.

Half an hour later, standing in front of a teaching building, the three stopped.

There is a background wall more than 2 meters high at the entrance of the teaching building, on which is written a row of words:

"2020 National Undergraduate Mathematical Modeling Contest in Hu Province is recommended and recommended to the National Award Defense Review Meeting."

The time was getting closer to 9:00, and many participating students had begun to enter the building.

"Let's go." Lu Zhou's face was calm, with a war intent in his eyes.

A moment later, in the lounge prepared by Heron Island University for the participating students.

There were many students present in the room. There were 126 groups of 378 students participating in the thesis defense this time.

Before 9 o'clock, some people were looking at the printed papers, and some people were chatting.

"Hey brother, have you participated in the thesis defense? What's going on in the meeting?"

"Don't be afraid, anyway, everyone has arrived here for the defense. All those present are the provincial first prizes, and most of them can enter the national competition."

"In other words, how many groups can enter the national competition?"

"Each province recommends a different quota for the national competition. According to previous years, it is a little more than 3/4."

"Okay, then I can rest assured, I'll be satisfied with a second country."

Zheng Tianyu listened to the voices of this discussion, didn't say anything, just sat down with the two teammates.

As soon as he was seated, a boy beside him came over and asked curiously, "Classmate, which college are you from?"

"Me?" Zheng Tianyu was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously replied, "From the School of Engineering and Technology."

The boy was stunned when he heard it, and asked suspiciously, "Huh? Do we have this academy in Luda?"

Zheng Tianyu responded embarrassedly, "Uh, I'm not a big heron."

"Oh, like this."

After the boy learned that the other party was not from the school, his interest in chatting disappeared, and he turned back and chatted with his teammates.

Looking at Zheng Tianyu shaking his head and observing, Lu Zhou reminded: "Don't look, more than half of the place is from Ludao University."

"More than half? How do you know Elbow?" Zheng Tianyu was taken aback by this number.

Lu Zhou glanced at Zheng Tianyu and asked, "Do you know how many first prizes in the provincial Mathematical Modeling Contest last year?"

Zheng Tianyu asked curiously, "How many groups?"

Lu Zhou said indifferently: "181 groups won the first prize of the province, and 98 groups were students from Ludao University."

"This...this is too scary."

Zheng Tianyu was stunned when he saw that the involution was so serious.

There are 39 undergraduate schools in Hu Province, one university (Ludao University), one 211 University (Fuzhou University), and the rest are double non-undergraduates.

Judging from last year's awards, the provincial first prize was basically reserved by Ludao University!

The remaining 83 groups were won by 38 schools including Fuzhou University, Huaqiao University, Hu Province Normal University, Hu Province Agriculture and Forestry University, and Jimei University.

The strength of Ludao University in Hu province is evident!

Completely the king of the region, a school hangs other schools in the province.

After a while, the defense finally officially began.

After waiting for two hours, Lu Zhou's group was finally called.

The three walked into the classroom, where several experts sat.

The evaluation expert group of this competition area is headed by Professor Li Yong, director of the Department of Mathematics of Ludao University, and the rest of the evaluation experts are top scholars from the fields of mathematics and physics in the province.

The three walked up, and Lu Zhou opened the PPT, ready to start his defense.

The thesis defense is divided into two parts.

The first one is the thesis statement, which is ten minutes long. It mainly talks about what kind of problem to solve, how and why to choose this model to solve, as well as the details of model calculation, results and analysis, and finally a summary.

The second is a question from the reviewer, which lasts 8-10 minutes. The review experts will ask several questions, which are not too difficult. The main thing to check is the authenticity of the paper, whether it is written by oneself, and whether they have a deep understanding of the topic.

An expert said, "Let's start the defense!"

Lu Zhou nodded and started explaining the ppt.

It mainly tells about his own mathematical modeling ideas and the highlights in the paper.

The thesis was completed by Lu Zhou with the assistance of Zhang Lei. Lu Zhou is still very familiar with the thesis. The ten-minute explanation has no card words, but he is very fluent.

Several reviewers in the audience nodded and began to enter the question-and-answer session.

Zheng Tianyu stood beside Lu Zhou, his fingers trembling slightly, and some nervous experts asked questions.

I just didn't expect that the first question made him break the defense!

"Did the instructor contact you during the competition?"

Lu Zhou replied calmly: "No, we answer the whole process ourselves."

Fortunately, the next second expert question returned to the paper.

"How is the model for the third question established?"

Without hesitation, Lu Zhou explained in one go: "Faced with the third question, our model is mainly *&￥##!#..."

One expert asked: "What method did you use to get what results?"

Lu Zhou answered simply.

In a blink of an eye, the judges asked five questions, all of which were answered fluently by Lu Zhou.

At the end of the defense, Professor Li Yong, who was the C position, smiled and asked kindly, "Is this student Lu Zhou in charge of the modeling part?"

"Yes."

"What is Lu Zhou's major?" Professor Li Yong looked at the boy in the middle of the podium with admiration.

Lu Zhou replied: "Electrical engineering."

"Electrical engineering..."

Hearing this answer, several review experts looked at each other, a little dumbfounded.

Among the more than 100 papers, the most amazing is this group, especially the mathematical modeling part is very mature and perfect, and all the scoring experts believe that the modeler is a mathematics major.

Professor Li Yong also thinks so.

In the fourth round of national discipline evaluation conducted by the Ministry of Education in 2017, Ludao University has a total of 7 first-level disciplines that entered Category A: marine science, applied economics, chemistry, statistics, business administration, law, and biology.

According to the latest ESI database, a total of 16 disciplines have entered the top 1% of ESI in the world, of which chemistry has entered the world's 1‰.

The subject evaluation of mathematics at Ludao University is only B+ in China, but it is one of the top 1% subjects in the world of ESI. Especially in recent years, under the leadership of Professor Li Yong, both domestic and international rankings are in constant increase.

The National Tianyuan Mathematics Southeast Center is located in Ludao University!

The "Higher Education Club Cup", the champion of the Mathematical Modeling Contest in 2003 and 2013, was won by Lushima University.

And in talent training, it is also very good.

Xiamen University’s 2015 mathematics undergraduates went to graduate school: 41 graduate students, 55 students studying abroad, and 19 graduate students or directly employed.

The overall enrollment rate is over 80%.

Among them, 36 of the 55 people who studied abroad went to beautiful countries, including Cornell University, Columbia University, Johns Hopkins University and other world-renowned universities.

It can be seen how the quality of undergraduates in the Department of Mathematics of Ludao University is!

But in Professor Li Yong's mind, comparing Lu Zhou with the students who participated in this year's Ludao University, the answer is...

The papers of Lu Zhou's group are undoubtedly the first!

Thinking again that the other party is from Guanghua University...

As the number one in the province and the head of the mathematics department of a top-ranked school in the country Li Yong couldn't help but give birth to a love for talents.

It is a pity for a talent like Lu Zhou to be placed in Guanghua University.

A piece of rough jade will be buried!

But I was already a sophomore, and I missed the time to transfer schools. In addition, I could only transfer to the same level and lower level of the school.

If you want to transfer from Guanghua University to Ludao University, ahem, it may depend on the power of the other's parents.

At least it must be a position that will 404.

Transferring schools is out of the question, but there are other remedies.

Li Yong had a plan and warmly invited Lu Zhou:

"Student Lu Zhou, do you want to come to my postgraduate exam?"

ps: Three thousand chapters for a reward! Ask for a monthly pass! !

Day 1 of the fight against procrastination! Never get stuck on the 23:59 update again!
