Chapter 7 Midterm Exam
"Look at Zheng Li's test paper first." Liu Gui said to Zhang Jixue, and he was very anxious.
Zhang Jixue slowly found Zheng Li's words from a bunch of test papers: "What's the rush? The paper I've produced this time is even more difficult than in previous years. Don't have too much expectations."
Liu Gui smiled: "No matter how difficult it is to beat Qiu Sai?"
Zhang Jixue looked at him without saying a word, and Liu Gui smiled and said, "It may be a little harder."
Qiu Sai’s examination is not about the difficulty, but about the breadth of students’ mastery of mathematical knowledge. The questions they test are relatively routine.
"Why are you so optimistic about Li Zheng? It's because he has done two analytical questions?" Zhang Jixue asked while correcting Li Zheng's test paper.
"Not exactly, right? It is rare to be able to master real-variable functions and measurement theory in the first year of a freshman, and it also shows his talent in mathematics."
"More is that through this, I can see his love for mathematics and his crazy words in the group, and I can see that he is extremely confident."
"It is not easy to have these two points at the same time," Liu Gui explained.
Zhang Jixuewen said: "It is not easy for you to abduct such a student to study for your doctorate."
Liu Gui smiled and said, "There is no such obsession. It's just that I'm happy to see the hunting students."
"For such talented and passionate students, as seniors, I always hope to give him some correct guidance."
"There are too few mathematicians from Jiangcheng University who came from the School of Mathematics. The last time he was able to give a report at the International Mathematician Conference was still 14 years old."
The International Conference of Mathematicians is held every four years and is the most important event in the mathematics community. It is very difficult to make a report at the main venue.
Over the years, only two mathematicians from Jiangcheng University have given reports at the main venue of the International Mathematician Conference.
(Note: It is easy to make a report at the branch venue.)
Zhang Jixue: "It's quite difficult, but this goal is visible at least. I thought you would expect him to take Fields."
"I am indeed talented." Zhang Jixue handed Zheng Li's test paper over, and it was full of hooks.
"No," Liu Gui said.
Zhang Jixue: "By the way, I always think there is something wrong with our training system. What we tell students is in space."
It is rare for Liu Gui to see his old friend having such a good talk. He asked, "What do you say?"
Zhang Jixue stood up and walked to the window, took a deep breath of the air on the mountain: "The mathematical building was built by the predecessors, and then the mathematicians later repaired and trimmed it, presenting a very exquisite structure to the present people."
"Each theorem is related to many related theorems, but it is very empty to tell students, as if a road appears out of thin air on the ground. Without the muddy roads that were struck by countless footprints before, it is directly the road."
"Students only learned theorems and proofs, and the proofs they showed were the best proofs, but did not show the students how their predecessors kept optimizing them."
"So most of the people we cultivate have no enthusiasm for mathematical research because they do not feel the beauty of mathematics, the efforts of their predecessors, and the sense of accomplishment of mathematical research, but mechanized learning."
Liu Gui nodded. He could fully understand what Zhang Jixue meant: "So in recent years, Yan Da has used Amelican's teaching materials directly."
Zhang Jixue: "Because their textbooks have many examples that fit theorems to explain how they came about, it is simply more in line with the actual situation of the research."
Liu Gui interrupted: "This is not something we can change, and if we also use all-English textbooks, we have to win the support of the dean."
Zhang Jixue sighed: "How do you plan to train Li Zheng? He should have a solid foundation, and there is no problem with the basic courses of freshmen and sophomore."
Liu Gui: "Let me find a topic for him and let him attend the graduate school seminar I brought."
......
Zhang Jixue hurried into the classroom with a smile on his face:
"The study committee member will help me send the papers first."
After saying that, Zhang Jixue handed a large stack of papers in his hand to the study committee member, and then he continued: "The difficulty of the midterm exam is indeed very large, and basically fails. There are only three people who pass, and there are still relatively few."
Zhang Jixue is older and an old professor. He went to Gaul in the 1980s to study for a doctorate. He is very open-minded and looks very happy every day, as if nothing can bother him.
If you are a teacher in algebra class, if you see all the failures, you should at least educate everyone with a serious expression.
"Song Hanlin, 65 points."
"Li Jinding, 78 points."
"Finally, I want to praise Zheng Li extraordinarily. Is Zheng Li there?" He looked around and said, "Zheng Li scored 100 points and got everything right, it was not easy."
"Wow!" The students below were in a roar. The Hongyi class in the freshman year and the first class in the base class were held together. It can be said that Zheng Li's score was the first in the whole grade.
"He is not here." The study committee member looked around and replied.
Zhang Jixuewen said: "I seem to have seen him on the first day of the day when he was named. Did he not come since then?"
"No, it seems that I haven't come after National Day." The study committee member replied based on his feelings, "He has been studying in the study room on the 6th floor of Hubin every day."
Zhang Jixue nodded: "This test paper can get full marks, so there is really no need to come to class."
"Most of the people's exams are not ideal, and they may be different from the scores you expected. If you can get into Jiangcheng University, you will also choose the mathematics department. In high school, mathematics will definitely start at 140, 150, and at least 130 points."
"After that after coming to college, I got the paper for the first midterm exam and found it, I got a little frustrated when I got 30 points."
"I deliberately made the problem very difficult. I want to tell you that if you are determined to do math research in college, especially if you are determined to do math research, it is completely different from high school mathematics."
"In previous years, I was very difficult to pass the first midterm exam. By the end of this year, you will feel that it is much easier than the midterm exam."
What Zhang Jixue didn't say is that his questions this time were even more difficult than in previous years. He chose the most difficult questions in Xie Huimin's "Lecture Notes on Mathematical Analysis Exercise Class" and Pei Liwen's "Typical Problems and Methods in Mathematical Analysis".
There is no single point-givea question.
"Although the questions are very difficult, we still have to see the gap. Most of them can only get more than 30 points, and some people can get the full score. The gap is quite big."
"I hope everyone can spend more time practicing. Mathematical analysis and algebra will run through your entire university study, and even to the master's and doctoral stages. Both courses are very important."
"Of course, if you do combinatorial mathematics, mathematical analysis will generally be fine."
Zhang Jixue's classmates in the stands were a little depressed. He smiled and said, "Don't worry, the midterm exam only accounts for 10% of the total score. We have two more exams later, and then the final exam, which accounts for 70%. Therefore, if you get the final exam, your final score will not be affected too much."
"In addition, because everyone's score is too low, I will ask the study committee member to open the root number and multiply ten as your last score."
"Okay, let's go back to this midterm exam paper. Today we will mainly explain this test paper thoroughly."
Few of the students in the audience had the heart to listen to the professor's lecture on the test papers, either looking at why their test papers were only so small, or they were in the water group.
The new student group exploded in one go:
"Shen Zheng is so awesome!"
"The Great Master of Full Score"
"That difficult test can actually be full marks"
"Zheng Shen has exceeded my understanding."
Until someone posted a photo of Zheng Li secretly taking pictures in the study room and attached the text on it: "Zheng Shen takes me with me"
After that, the freshman group was flooded with this expression.
Chapter completed!
