Chapter 58: Beating
Most of the hundreds of students in the classroom looked curiously at Wu Tong in the back row. In Professor Mu's class, he rarely called on students to answer questions, but once he did, it could be a disaster. Many of them wanted to see who was so blind that he dared to be called out for slacking off in Mu's class. They respected his courage, but they hoped he would not bring trouble to the weaker ones!
However, when they looked back and saw Wu Tong clearly, they became more and more confused. When did such a person appear in their class? They had taken many classes together, and there didn't seem to be such a young child in their class, right?
Wu Tong, who just turned sixteen and still has some baby fat, is too obviously different in age among the sophomores who are nineteen or twenty years old!
"Come on, tell me, how should we understand this formula? You kept nodding just now, so you must have understood it, right?" Mu Xuewu asked with a mischievous smile. He could tell whether someone really understood or not by just pulling them out. He never left any doubts until tomorrow.
Wu Tong came back to his senses, closed his notebook and said, "Thank you for your concern, teacher. I do understand this. The formula you mentioned... the example you just mentioned... I think it can be derived from this perspective... This formula can actually be understood like this! Using mathematical language..."
Wow... this kid is amazing. Not only did he explain it clearly from the perspective of physics, he really understood it. He also explained it more thoroughly from the perspective of mathematics. This is no different for a master or doctoral student.
Mu Xuewu pointed out a few more points of knowledge with great interest, and even asked more in-depth questions.
He observed Wu Tong's expression. These questions didn't bother her at all. She basically answered his questions clearly after a little thought, and answered them fluently. He was sure that this student could completely follow his thoughts and speed from his explanations, and could immediately understand them completely.
But why did the solution sound so strange to him? Why did it use so many mathematical formulas and mathematical logic? Even though he was good at math, he could hardly keep up with the kid's pace!
Is this really a student from their physics department? Is he studying something wrong?
After listening to Wu Tong’s analysis, most of the students in the classroom seemed to have realized something. So this is how it is and this is how we should understand it. Thank you for your guidance.
But as Wu Tong jumped into mathematical language, the students, who were just barely able to keep up with the teacher's class, were all confused. When Wu Tong and Professor Mu Xuewu were talking back and forth, they were completely carsick, with faces full of questions like "Who are they? Where is this?"
God... Can you please be a human being and speak human language instead of divine language?
"That's a good answer, but physical problems should still be described in physical language, and mathematics is just a tool to assist calculations!" I'm afraid that this last sentence is despised by most physicists. Who let the outside world spread the rumor that only those who are not good at mathematics go to study physics.
"Which class are you from?" The first question he asked could be answered with some basic knowledge, but the second required a solid foundation. The third and fourth required very strong thinking abilities and deeper knowledge reserves to be able to answer immediately. The fifth question was not something even his graduate students could answer easily.
Such a student could be called gifted without a doubt. He was even tempted to accept him as his last disciple!
This... Wu Tong felt a little embarrassed, and smiled shyly, "I am a recommended student of the CMO competition. I came to school in advance to study, but I haven't officially entered the school yet. I will officially enter our school in September! Sorry, Mr. Mu, I have the audacity to come to your class without your permission!"
"It's okay, it's okay. If you like physics, you can come to the class. We at Kyoto University always welcome everyone who likes to learn!" Oh, he came from a mathematics competition, so it's not surprising that this kid only uses mathematical logic to solve problems.
I heard that the IMO training team was training at their school recently. Such a small matter was basically out of his ears. If he hadn't seen Wu Tong and thought of the show-off of the School of Mathematics, he wouldn't have remembered what he overheard by accident.
Thinking of IMO, he suddenly remembered something. He seemed to have heard the guy from the School of Mathematics bragging that they had found another good candidate, "You are the one with the perfect score in CMO this year, right?" This year, Kyoto University was very generous and had a million-dollar scholarship agreement with Yadao University, which was almost a bet.
"Yes, Teacher Mu, I am Wu Tong!" Wu Tong nodded. Is she famous in Peking University?
That’s right, you haven’t enrolled yet, that’s even better!
"My dear classmate, physics is a profound subject that studies the laws of motion of matter in nature and the basic structure of matter. Why don't you come to the Physics Department when school starts?" It would be great to lure this kid into their Physics Department before the math department students can react!
Before he officially entered university, he had already mastered the mathematics of a PhD graduate student, and his foundation in physics was also quite solid, directly beating the sophomores in the classroom. It would be a waste of talent if they didn't recruit such a talent into their physics department!
Anyway, as long as you get into Shanghai University, the school leaders don’t mind which college you are in. Their physics department is also the school’s trump major, so they are very confident.
"Our Physics Department has sufficient funding, and the areas where we can get started are much more interesting than those in the School of Mathematics!"
"Thank you, Mr. Mu, for your kindness. I will have the opportunity to learn from you again. Mathematics is the foundation of all sciences. I would like to focus on mathematics first, and then extend to physics, step by step!"
"It's good to have goals. Welcome to join Beijing University. If you have any questions, you can come to my office for advice!"
Although they failed to get Wu Tong into the Physics Department, at least Wu Tong is still in their Beijing University. With this child's talent, it would be a waste if he didn't study for a second degree. Who knows, physics can become his main profession after studying for a while. As researchers, they are very patient, and saving the country in a roundabout way is also a good strategy.
“You guys should study hard. You’ve spent a few more years studying than others. You’re not even as good as a high school student. If you don’t work harder, you’ll have to go back to high school to start over!” Mu Xuewu was not too angry when he failed to deceive Wu Tong, but he turned his gun around and confronted the real students on the stage. They were so much older than him, and none of them looked good enough!
"······" The students in the entire tiered classroom fell silent. Many of them were proud of themselves for being admitted to Peking University. Among them were students who were recommended for admission through physics competitions, top scorers in various provinces and cities... During their high school years, they were basically the center of attention. Now, they were beaten by a high school student. They were really annoyed!
Only after staying in Kyoto University for a long time did I truly understand that this is a place where geniuses abound and it is a place where ordinary students feel almost suffocated.
