[The registration list for next week’s physics competition is as follows, please check if you have any questions.]
Two days later, Li Mu was walking on the way to Professor Lin Yao's office when he suddenly saw a list of names sent by the class monitor.
This is the physics competition that they mentioned when they were in Professor Wu Mengyuan's class two weeks ago. If they do well, they will have the opportunity to participate in the International College Student Physics Competition.
Although Li Mu is interested in this competition, he currently has no ambition to do so.
Today, his only interest is writing papers.
Just like this, he was about to take the paper that he had translated and confirmed again and again that there were no problems with the layout and format, and asked Professor Lin Yao to see if there were any problems.
After looking at the list distributed below, he clicked the button curiously, wanting to see who in their class had signed up.
The list includes all applicants from all grades and classes. There are quite a lot of applicants for sophomores and juniors. As for seniors?
The seniors are all preparing to graduate, and of course they won't participate in this kind of competition, so the sophomores and juniors are basically the main force.
As for freshmen, although there are some, they are very few.
However, when Li Mu saw the number of applicants for the international physics class of their department, he couldn't help but marvel, it was indeed an international class.
International classes are classes that Shanghai Jiao Tong University has established in cooperation with foreign universities, mainly with Duke University and the University of Maryland in the United States. The classes are all taught in English.
In terms of student quality, on average, it is slightly higher than that of ordinary classes. After all, the score line for applying is right there.
Of course, the important thing is to have money.
Take a look, there are exactly twenty applicants for their freshman international class, I'm afraid not all the class is here.
After a few clicks of surprise, he looked at the number of applicants for this class. There were only a handful of them. Li Mu had heard that those who signed up were all those who had participated in the Physics Olympiad in high school and were considered competitive talents.
No longer paying attention, he closed the interface and arrived at the door of Professor Lin's office.
Knocking on the door, "Please come in" came from inside, and then he walked in.
What surprised him a little when he walked in was that Professor Wu Mengyuan was also there.
Last time I went to Professor Wu Mengyuan's place, Professor Lin Yao was there. Now when I went to Professor Lin Yao's office, Professor Wu Mengyuan was there again.
At this time, both of them were standing next to a small blackboard, seeming to be studying something.
"Professor Lin, Professor Wu."
Seeing Li Mu come in, Wu Mengyuan greeted him with a smile: "Xiao Li is here."
Lin Yao also nodded to him and said: "You can sit down first, Professor Wu and I are still discussing a problem."
Li Mu nodded, then sat aside and took a look inside the office. There were several seniors who were reading or writing at their desks.
Well, they are all hard-working mathematicians.
He withdrew his gaze and looked again at the problem the two professors were studying.
It is a mathematical matrix, and of course the most important thing is that it also contains some physical things.
The content of linear algebra is obviously difficult, because the two professors are arguing about the next steps.
"You obviously can't do this. We want to get the identity matrix now. If you use your method, we will definitely not be able to calculate it in the end."
"But right now, what new directions can we think of?"
"Unless a new processing method is found, hey, maybe this will become the innovation of our paper?"
"Then look for it first."
"I'll do the math first."
With that said, Lin Yao took out the blackboard pen and started writing.
Professor Wu Mengyuan was watching from the side, also touching his chin and thinking.
Li Mu didn't know how serious it was. The problem the two professors were researching looked very powerful...
He returned to the problem studied by the two professors and looked at...
Suddenly, why did Li Mu feel that this thing had a familiar feeling?
He thought about it for a long time and finally figured it out.
Isn't this something similar to the form that appeared in the paper that proved Adama's conjecture in his mind?
Then follow the method in that paper...
He started the calculation in his mind, and finally found to his surprise that he had successfully found the unit matrix that the two professors were looking for.
Well……
Looking at the looks of the two professors, he hesitated, should he say it?
But just as he was thinking about it, Professor Wu Mengyuan suddenly looked at him and asked with a smile: "Xiao Li, are you also interested in this problem? Do you want to give it a try?"
Of course, Wu Mengyuan's words were just to take care of Li Mu, but he didn't really want Li Mu to give it a try.
It’s just that Li Mu heard Professor Wu’s words and gave it a try?
Then "try" it.
"Okay, I'll give it a try."
As he spoke, he stepped forward.
Wu Mengyuan was stunned for a moment, and then smiled on his face. Since Li Mu had such a spirit of experimentation, he naturally supported it, so he handed the blackboard pen in his hand to Li Mu, and at the same time, he briefly explained it to Li Mu.
"We now need to make this matrix capable of generating singular values similar to singular value decomposition, and we need to..."
However, before he could finish speaking, he was stunned.
Because Li Mu has already started the calculation on the blackboard.
And the first step is completely different from what the two of them discussed before.
It's just that this one is completely different, but it has a different effect...
"It actually uses H to replace the singular values in S, then eliminates the matrices U and V...and then divides the square of H by..."
"etc……"
When Li Mu took the first few steps, Wu Mengyuan's thoughts suddenly became clear.
"this……"
He was a little dazed, and then he pulled Lin Yao, who was still calculating by himself, and pointed at Li Mu.
Lin Yao looked at Li Mu doubtfully.
"what?"
After just glancing at Li Mu's first few steps, he suddenly froze.
"this……"
After a while, Li Mu put down the pen in his hand, clapped his hands gently, and then looked back at the steps he had completed.
"Well... there should be no problem."
Immediately he turned his head to look at the two professors and said, "Professor..."
As a result, as soon as he opened his mouth, the two professors stepped forward and pushed him aside. Then they stared at his few steps, carefully looking at them from top to bottom, left to right.
Finally, Lin Yao turned to look at Li Mu with complicated eyes. Although he felt that he was not worthy, he really wanted Li Mu to apply for his graduate degree when the time came.
Of course, he still didn't say this to avoid putting pressure on Li Mu.
He said: "Li Mu, you..."
After he opened his mouth, he didn't know what to say. In the end, he could only simply say: "You are the most talented student I have ever seen."
Wu Mengyuan also nodded in agreement: "He is also the most talented person I have ever seen. Your help can be said to have saved us a lot of time."
"How did you figure it out?"
Although this problem will not trouble them in the end, the problem is that the time and energy spent in the process are not so easy to measure.
Li Mu scratched his head, but he didn't expect to receive such high praise from the two teachers.
He said a little shyly: "Actually...it's nothing. I just thought about it and then wrote it down."
The tone is very embarrassing, but the words are very interesting.
Lin Yao and Wu Mengyuan both rolled their eyes.
Just thought about it and then wrote it?
It felt like I was laughing at both of them.
Of course, they wouldn't be angry about this, after all, Li Mu said it unintentionally.
What's more, it seemed that Li Mu just thought about it and then wrote out the question?
After all, they just came to their place not long ago.
This made both professors wonder, what exactly is growing inside this young man's head?
At this time, Lin Yao suddenly asked: "Li Mu, how about you come to participate in our current project?"
