137 Picking a Mentor(1/3)
Ning Zi woke up on time the next morning. After opening her eyes, she rarely got up directly, but stayed in bed for a while.
Quietly reflect on what I was thinking about in the gorgeous scene last night.
Very frustrated.
Sure enough, things were not as simple as described before March.
Again, whether it is theoretical mathematics or theoretical physics, after reaching a certain level, it is no longer possible to understand it by insisting on studying. And at this time, March can't help much either.
After all, no matter how strong March is, it can only teach it the theories and formulas proven by its master. If it has the strength to continue to push the theory forward, then it does not need to find anyone to help.
The previous owner of March had many hobbies and studied a lot, but in the end he did not understand everything.
What Ning Zi can't understand now, March naturally can't understand either.
This probably shows that March is not omnipotent. It can produce products that transcend the times by integrating all the resources of human society and based on the drawings that have been stored in the memory. However, after all, it cannot help humans create products that can be used to guide the study of the universe and the microscopic world.
Theoretical basis.
This actually shows that Ning Zi has terrible self-discipline and hard work, and can even complete the study content assigned in March ahead of schedule.
Similarly, this also shows from one aspect that whether it is mathematics or physics, it is extremely difficult to advance the theory. But this is normal, just like it is common for a mathematical problem to last for hundreds of years and no one can solve it.
If you want to gain something within a few days, even Euler, Newton, Einstein and other geniuses who have proven how great they are will only shake their heads and say, impossible, absolutely impossible...
In the final analysis, Ning Zi felt frustrated because she had gone too smoothly before and was drifting away.
If Ning Zi could read Dominette Duncan's diary, she would probably find that that guy, like him, is still dissatisfied with the staggering speed of results. Of course, this is actually Ning Zi's fault. After all, if
Using his achievements as a reference will indeed lead to many misunderstandings.
Of course, Dominique Duncan actually belongs to the kind of mathematician who has been brainwashed by Ningji.
Just like that, Ning Zi lay on the bed for a while, letting her thoughts calm down before getting up from the bed and preparing to wash up.
When sitting in front of the computer, Ning Zi took the initiative to open the chat window in March and asked: "What did your former master usually do when he got into a bottleneck?"
Soon, a response was given in the dialog box: "Meow, fall in love, teach students, or attack your peers everywhere. My master once said that as long as you attack your peers badly enough and hit them psychologically unbalanced, you can change their behavior.
Draw inspiration and strength from negative emotions. Of course, if the above methods cannot help him get out of the bottleneck, he will also choose to change the subject and change his mind first, and then wait for inspiration to come unexpectedly."
From this answer, Ning Zi probably knew what affected March's character of not being too troublesome. After all, most people really can't do such things as attacking their peers when they are stuck in a research bottleneck. Logically speaking, it shouldn't be
Communicate with peers?
As for falling in love...
Ning Zi feels that just letting nature take its course is fine, and finding inspiration from love seems exaggerated.
But teaching students doesn't seem to be of much help to him. Although he is still a student, he still has classes with a group of graduate students and doctoral students every Friday.
Then all that's left is to change a research topic and change your mind?
But before Ning Zi could ask, Yue Yue sent another message.
"Meow, although everyone is used to different methods, I still want to remind you that the Friday afternoon class cannot be regarded as teaching students. At best, it can only be regarded as giving guidance. It is possible to intervene in students' topic selection and research in the name of a tutor.
Get inspiration through the students' whimsical ideas; secondly, being troubled on a certain problem for days or even weeks, a few months is not considered a bottleneck. In fact, even my former master did not think of being stuck in a research bottleneck period.
It’s also calculated in years.”
Well, although this cat has always enjoyed destroying people's self-confidence, this time it showed rare warmth and tolerance, and even a sense of encouragement. Especially the sentence that identifies a bottleneck period as measured in years.
Yes, it gave Ning Zi some peace of mind. At least he no longer felt that there was any big problem with his IQ.
Of course, he also gave him a useful idea - to bring a few students.
If attending classes does not count as teaching students, then the meaning is obvious. March is encouraging him to consider bringing in a few graduate students. There is one thing about Ning Zi's character that is quite good, such as being very willing to accept opinions.
Although in theory he is not yet qualified to teach students, after all, he is still a freshman in physical education. Of course, in actual operation, it should not be a big problem, and it is definitely possible to handle special cases. After all, he has a Fields Medal and a figure
With the double blessing of the Spirit Award, if you win any one of these two awards, you can basically go sideways in the world's academic circles.
And the idea is not bad, whether it is mathematics or theoretical physics topics, it is easy to find. If you can learn it, you will be a new force in the field of scientific research in the future. The chip R&D center and the future 10,000-acre robot research and production base will need senior talents.
If they can't learn it... then they can probably only blame themselves for not working hard.
So Ning Zi decided to chat with Chen Yonggang, and then went to Lu Zhengyue to learn from him. After all, he really had no experience in teaching students.
Without the study task, Ning Zi did not get up early as usual and ask someone to bring breakfast after a phone call. Instead, he took the initiative to walk out of the door, walked around the school playground, stretched his body, and then went to school.
After having a mediocre breakfast in the cafeteria, I called Chen Yonggang.
After learning that Chen Yonggang had arrived at the office, he walked slowly back to the school's administration building.
…
"Are you planning to bring in graduate students?" Sure enough, Ning Zi's request was completely beyond Chen Yonggang's expectation.
"Well, so I need to consult about the qualifications. As for the student sources, I suggest that this summer the university can hold three postgraduate entrance examination summer camps in the direction of science and engineering, namely mathematics, computer and quantum physics. By the way, Dominic Duncan and
Both Konan Lamar and Conan Lamar are qualified to teach graduate students, so it just makes sense for them to be the instructors of this year's math and computer summer camps respectively." Ning Zi said seriously.
"I can understand mathematics and computers, but we don't have particularly good tutors in terms of quantum physics. I'm afraid we won't be able to attract any outstanding students to sign up, right? And we don't have the qualifications now." Chen Yonggang asked uncertainly.
sentence.
Indeed, it is definitely a very attractive thing to have Fields Medal winners and Turing Award winners personally serve as instructors at postgraduate entrance summer camps, but this is also related to the current dilemma of sports universities.
Although many outstanding teachers have already expressed the intention to come to the National University of Science and Technology, it is not easy to change jobs directly after all. For example, a mainstay like Fang Xu will not be able to report to the National University of Physical Education until the beginning of the next semester at the earliest.
Some have to wait until the projects at hand are completed before coming to the university.
Therefore, the current situation faced by the science and engineering department of the National Sports University in terms of teaching staff is that there is a serious polarization.
Although I was ready for undergraduate education, most of the teachers' names were too unremarkable. They couldn't attract people, so I just let Dominette Duncan and Conan Lamar be the instructors.
Although it's a bit extravagant, it is indeed full of gimmicks.
For a physical education university that does not have many postgraduate entrance exam summer camps for natural subjects, this is obviously an excellent arrangement, even if it is just for advertising.
Although the physics department has been established in cooperation with Yanbei University, it can only satisfy undergraduate teaching at present, and it also needs the support of Yanbei University faculty. Of course, this is also to blame Ning Jie. In the past, a group of professors and the school
The top management has made many plans, but they have not been realized yet.
Moreover, the cakes that Ning Zi drew at that time were mainly at the level of controllable nuclear fusion, which belongs to the fields of nuclear engineering and high-energy physics. Although it is related to some concepts of quantum physics, the research directions are not in the same field.
Chen Yonggang's doubts are mainly due to the fact that there are not many Chinese scientists who have made achievements in the field of microscopic quantum physics, and it is difficult to find them.
So for now, it is not difficult to apply for graduate and doctoral programs in mathematics and computer science at the National Sports University, but it is quite difficult to apply for graduate programs in physics and chemistry.
"It's okay. I can be the team leader for the Quantum Physics Summer Camp. As for the doctoral program application, if you have any trouble, you can use my name to apply for it. At least my name should be easy to use now, right?" Ning Zi said.
There is a solution.
"Doctoral program? Um, Ning Jie, do you have any misunderstandings about applying for a doctoral program? In fact, we currently only have a master's program in mathematics and computer science, not a doctoral program. And the master's program is already based on the fact that there is Professor Lu in the school.
There are high-end talents such as Professor Duncan and Professor Lamar. Of course, more importantly, they were specially approved for your sake. Moreover, the master's degree in computer science is still listed at the chip research and development center."
Chen Yonggang said dumbfounded.
Yes, to death, he never thought that the words "doctoral program" would come out of Ning She's mouth. Considering the current situation of the University, applying for a doctoral program was something he had never thought about, because he had not met any of the hard requirements.
"What? We don't have a PhD candidate in our strong subject?" Ning Zi was also stunned.
He originally thought that with the joining of senior figures such as Lu Zhengyue, Dominette Duncan, and Conan Lamar, it would be easy for the school to apply for a doctoral program.
"Ahem, that's it. Ning Zi, if you want to apply for a doctoral program, the most basic requirement is that the first-level discipline you want to apply for must first propose a distinctive and relatively stable research direction, and the more such research directions there are,
The better, these projects must be reviewed and approved by the expert panel, and they will indeed promote this subject. It must also be confirmed that the school is indeed capable of making achievements in these research directions.
“Secondly, applying for a doctoral program also requires a perfect team of subject teachers with a more scientific ratio, which includes not only the requirements for the composition of each professional title, but also the academic requirements for lecturers and professors. For example, among full-time teachers, teachers with doctoral degrees
The proportion cannot be lower than a certain proportion. In addition, in principle, there are certain years requirements for those who have obtained the qualification to award a master's degree, and it can be proved that these master's students are good enough.
After these two standards are met, statistics will be needed to determine whether the school's scientific research results in relevant disciplines in the past five years have met the standards. Of course, there are also other requirements such as R&D funds, training funds, and international academic contributions. These are all easy to say. So if it develops normally
If so, with your continued efforts in mathematics and computers, I don’t think it will be a big problem to evaluate the doctoral program in three years. But in physics, you have to go directly to the master’s program or doctoral program, which is indeed a bit difficult.”
Ning Zi frowned, then shook his head and said: "Principal Chen, this won't work. We obviously have the ability to train doctoral students, why do we only have master's degree programs? This is one, and second, even in physics and chemistry, we are the same
Now that you have the ability to train doctoral students, of course you should take the initiative to apply for a doctoral program. Except for the teachers, which may take time to perfect, the other requirements you mentioned are very simple.
I can immediately propose six research directions for the future and ask experts to review them. Even if the teaching staff is short-term, it is not impossible. In this way, I can personally spend 10 billion in special research and development funds for physical and natural sciences.
Professors who are willing to come will build laboratories and add experimental equipment. The money will
The funds will be received gradually within two months. Use this money to attract capable tutors to fill our teaching staff. Doing scientific research always requires money, right? Other schools should not be able to provide as abundant funding allocations as the University of Sports, right?
?If it’s not enough, I can add more. But this year we have to build up all the doctoral programs.”
Chen Yonggang was stunned.
Of course he knew that Ning Zi was able to come up with the money. After all, the delegation members from the high-tech companies had not left yet. He also probably knew how much compensation Ning Zi could receive from the people in charge of the negotiations.
More than 300 billion U.S. dollars, converted into RMB, is about 2 trillion.
Even if this money is classified as economic compensation income from patent rights and requires a 45% personal income tax, Ning Zi can still get 1.05 trillion yuan. In theory, this money belongs to Ning Zi's personal wealth. After all,
The turbulence algorithm has nothing to do with school.
Now that he heard that Ning Zi was willing to donate 10 billion to the school for special research and development in natural sciences, Chen Yonggang really admired Ning Zi's generosity.
Of course, my heart became hotter, and I even swallowed my saliva subconsciously.
