Chapter 77 Even if someone is not very smart, can they still not learn calculus?
After classes officially started, Lu Ming rarely appeared in the classroom and seldom returned to his dormitory. He spent his days at the school's Institute of Intelligent Science and his evenings at his studio and hotel.
I spend most of my time studying.
I mainly learned on my own, but I could ask my doctoral supervisor Lin Xiaowei and doctoral student Yang Xuan anytime I had questions.
In fact, with Lu Ming's current intelligence, asking AI would be enough to solve most of the problems.
It wasn't until early November, when he went to participate in the preliminary round of the National College Students Mathematics Competition, that he met his classmates Hu Jinyu, Huang Jiaxuan, and Chen Yiyan again.
The Information and Computing Strong Foundation Class focuses on mathematics.
Most students were confident in themselves and took the exam together in the morning.
This is considered a provincial selection process.
At Jiangsu University of Science and Technology, hundreds of students participate in the competition every year, and about fifty or sixty students win awards.
The rules for the preliminary round were not very strict.
After the exam, Lu Ming found a blank test paper and estimated his score with a few classmates he knew.
Chen Yiyan was eliminated immediately. She couldn't even solve problems of medium to low difficulty, such as limits and integrals of single-variable functions. She was just there to show off her courage.
Huang Jiaxuan is not an option either.
Hu Jinyu did slightly better, only getting the last two questions wrong – a mixed question on multivariable integrals and Fourier extremes, and a big question on Stokes' formula.
If you're lucky, you might get third place in the province.
Hu Jinyu initially thought he had answered correctly, but after Lu Ming explained the questions, he sighed speechlessly, "I thought it was normal for the college entrance exam to be a bit convoluted, but I didn't expect the university exam questions to be even more convoluted."
"It's normal for the preliminary round of the National Mathematical Olympiad to be a bit complicated. It would be most reasonable for you guys to participate next year."
Lu Ming offered some words of comfort.
He is different.
You should have answered them all correctly. With an intelligence of 12.5 and a 15% buff, the preliminary round level questions are a piece of cake.
It was mainly because he was very disciplined; he started preparing for the exam right after the college entrance examination, which lasted for four or five months.
Even the dumbest person can't learn calculus, right?
I mastered the basics of advanced mathematics, such as single-variable calculus, multivariable calculus, differential equations, analytic geometry, vector algebra, and infinite series, in just one month.
I spent the remaining months practicing coding problems.
In fact, Lu Ming mainly practiced various mock exams for the National and World Qiu Mathematics Competitions, which are much more difficult than the National Undergraduate Mathematics Competition.
He couldn't say for sure about Qiu Sai's situation yet, but he should be pretty sure of getting a national first prize in the National Undergraduate Mathematics Competition.
Seeing that Hu Jinyu, Huang Jiaxuan, and Chen Yiyan all looked a bit dejected, Lu Ming twirled his pen and asked, "Do you still need me to explain a few more challenging problems?"
"speak!"
Hu Jinyu rubbed his face, somewhat unconvinced.
He refused to believe it. It was normal that he couldn't beat Teacher Lu, but how could he not beat the other students?
Back in the elite class at Huarui Middle School, he felt that his mathematical talent was not much worse than Xu Jiyang's, who had won the first prize in the National Mathematical Olympiad.
Lu Ming nodded slightly, but before formally explaining the problem, he offered a few words of comfort: "The overall difficulty of the College Mathematics Competition is not high, it is comparable to the high school math olympiad. If you work hard and get a provincial first prize, your qualification for postgraduate recommendation will be secured."
The success rate of students admitted to the Strong Foundation Program for postgraduate studies and direct doctoral programs is very high.
If your grades are good enough, plus a provincial first prize or a national second prize in a math competition, you can usually get a direct PhD program at your own university.
Just then, Zhong Ziteng suddenly walked over from the back of the classroom, smiling jokingly, "Teacher Lu must be very good at math, right?"
"It's alright!"
Lu Ming was already very confident in his math skills.
"Teacher Lu is really confident. I got first place in the national exam when I was in high school, but I still wouldn't dare to say that I have a good talent for math."
Zhong Ziteng seemed to be making fun of himself, but his hostility was still quite obvious.
What's going on?
Lu Ming was slightly surprised, sensing that the other party was a bit jealous, but the two of them had never had any contact.
Chen Yiyan glanced at Zhong Ziteng with disdain and said sarcastically, "Teacher Lu's mathematical talent is much better than that of a national first-class student."
"Is it really that bad?"
Zhong Ziteng seemed to be responding sharply.
"Forget it, I'll explain the problems to you guys next time I have time!" Lu Ming immediately got up and left, not having time to argue with a college freshman like Zhong Ziteng.
Chen Yiyan hurriedly followed him.
After the two left the classroom, the girl explained, "Teacher Lu, I'm sorry, Zhong Ziteng asked me to go out a few days ago, but I declined!"
"oh!"
Lu Ming finally understood why Zhong Ziteng was so hostile towards him.
He glanced back and sensed that Chen Yiyan showed no remorse whatsoever; on the contrary, she seemed quite smug.
Finally, a guy started pursuing her. Although he wasn't exactly handsome, he was at least tall, had regular features, and came from a wealthy family.
"Aren't you even considering it?" Lu Ming spoke the truth. Considering Chen Yiyan's original appearance, Zhong Ziteng's conditions weren't bad.
Considering their family backgrounds, the two are quite well-matched.
"Compared to Teacher Lu, they're far inferior, aren't they?"
Chen Yiyan showed a disdainful expression. She had always had high standards, and now that she has had plastic surgery, her standards are undoubtedly even higher.
Although her mother, Yao Xuefang, said that Teacher Lu was a bit promiscuous and might have had affairs with the mothers of some of the children around him, she still wanted to be with such a handsome man as Teacher Lu.
The key point is that Teacher Lu is very capable; he has a high IQ and is also physically exceptional.
"Professor Lu, are you going to the Institute of Intelligence or back to the studio?" Chen Yiyan quickened her pace, keeping close to Lu Ming.
"It's the same both ways; you just need to keep practicing and preparing for the exam!"
Lu Ming will miss the modeling competition this year, but if he can win first prize in the National Undergraduate Mathematics Competition, he can raise his intelligence attribute to 13 points.
He entered the stage of super talent in one fell swoop.
"The finals are next April, which coincides with the preliminary rounds of the Qiu Chengtong Modeling Contest. After the finals of the Qiu Chengtong Contest next July, the National Undergraduate Modeling Contest will be held two months later, right?"
Chen Yiyan has investigated very thoroughly and knows that Lu Ming actually has more free time in the last few months, and he will need to focus on several competitions next year.
"yes!"
Lu Ming gave a perfunctory answer.
Although he is a freshman in the Information and Computing 01 Strong Foundation Class of Jiangsu University of Science and Technology, this is his second time attending university. He studied mathematics at Jiangsu Normal University.
After re-entering Jiangsu University of Science and Technology as the top scorer in the national college entrance examination, he is now more like a graduate student, except that he also changed his first degree.
His mentor, Lin Xiaowei, was also very satisfied with him.
Although he is a bit older, he is focused and diligent in his studies, making rapid progress. He also has a good network of contacts in society, which can make up for the shortcomings of his mentor.
If all goes well, Lu Ming estimates that he will be able to officially obtain a direct PhD program next semester, completely breaking away from the framework of the Information and Computing 01 Strong Foundation Class.
This is also a characteristic of the "Strong Foundation Program" of major 985 universities. As long as students perform well enough during their time at university and their ability to participate in scientific research meets the standards, they can be transferred from the undergraduate stage to the research team for key cultivation.
Therefore, Lu Ming doesn't actually need to maintain the so-called university classmate relationship with his classmates in the Information and Computing Foundation Program.
"Mr. Lu, are you deliberately avoiding me?" Chen Yiyan wasn't stupid; she could tell that Lu Ming's attitude towards her was becoming increasingly perfunctory, even worse than when they were in high school.
This disappointed her.
She went abroad for plastic surgery because of Teacher Lu, and it cost her several million!
Hey!
Lu Ming sighed helplessly and stopped by the lawn on campus. Instead of answering Chen Yiyan's question, he asked, "Yiyan, haven't you noticed? Your mother might like me quite a bit too?"
"This, this?"
Chen Yiyan didn't know what to say.
Perhaps because Teacher Lu is a big internet celebrity with tens of millions of followers, she has often talked about Teacher Lu with her mother, Yao Xuefang, in the past few months.
Everyone thinks that Teacher Lu is exceptionally handsome, physically fit, and intelligent.
The mother and daughter seemed to be fans of celebrities, and they were having a great time chatting!
