Chapter 38 Encouragement
Head coach Zhang Ping, who asked Wu Tong to come up to the stage to solve the problem, was also choked for a moment. He asked her to solve the problem to test her level, not to let her tear down the stage and take away her seat!
Well, he knew. This person who suddenly appeared and surpassed all the other candidates in the province was really amazing. I heard that she had been in the second year of high school for less than a month, which was equivalent to skipping the first year of high school. She taught herself all the contents of high school mathematics. She could play Lagrange's mean value theorem so well. It seems that she has mastered advanced mathematics thoroughly, and even more than that!
Being able to learn to this level through self-study, this talent in mathematics is unprecedented or unparalleled among the students he has seen. Perhaps he can be compared with last year's outstanding IMO full score champion?
No matter what, the students are exceptionally outstanding, which is a godsend for their Central Plains provincial team. It couldn’t be better!
"Very good, classmate Wu Tong, please go back to your seat. Do not disrupt the class. Do whatever you want. Just remember not to use university methods to answer questions in the Olympiad exam!" Otherwise, you have to prove Lagrange's mean value theorem first, and then you can use this theorem, which is not worth the effort!
"Other students, please look at the blackboard. I will take advantage of Wu Tong's problem-solving process to briefly explain Lagrange's mean value theorem and then analyze this question!" They are all high school students. No matter how complicated the high school solutions are, they still have to use the methods within the syllabus to solve the problems!
He just gave this theorem to other students to broaden their horizons. Some students should have been exposed to this content, but not everyone is as good as the one just now! Otherwise, if there are more extraordinary monsters like Wu Tong, he, the head coach, can retire directly this year!
Wu Tong returned to her seat. Since she had been allowed to arrange things as she pleased, she did not hesitate. She took out the elementary number theory that she had been studying recently, turned to the part she had read yesterday, took a pen and paper, and continued to deduce.
The students who caught sight of the cover of the book in Wu Tong's hand were immediately struck by lightning. That must be a very in-depth textbook for college, right? They haven't even finished high school, but others have already entered the field of university research. This is another critical blow to them from the gap between humans and gods!
They can’t compare, they can’t compare. They are now looking forward to the competition starting soon. Let this god go and kill in the national competition!
Time will not pass quickly because of anyone's expectations, nor will it stay because of anyone's attempts to keep it.
In the evening, Zhang Ping led the team and Teacher Xiao Zhang assisted them in arranging a pre-match cheering dinner for the ten members of the training team. After the dinner, the two teachers Zhang personally sent the students to the dormitory area, and Teacher Xiao Zhang personally watched the several members of the apartment enter their respective dormitories.
Wu Tong and Feng Yueyue entered the dormitory together. They didn't get along as well as before, they just nodded to each other. They just greeted each other and washed up and rested.
To be honest, Feng Yueyue was quite unconvinced before meeting Wu Tong.
She is also a girl. Both her parents are university professors. She has been exposed to mathematics under the guidance of her family since she was a child. She thinks that few people can compare with her. However, this time she was blocked by others and fell behind by a full 40 points. Her pride was instantly overturned, and she gritted her teeth to regain her style in the training.
However, who would have thought that Wu Tong did not participate in the training at all. As soon as she showed up for the presentation today, she immediately realized that there really was a big gap between her and Wu Tong. She was still struggling with the derivation problem, but Wu Tong got the answer at a glance. It really made her realize that there is always someone better than you, and she still needs to work harder!
Wu Tong has already started learning elementary number theory, so she has to finish learning advanced mathematics as soon as possible to catch up.
Early the next morning, everyone got up and packed their things at the call of Teacher Xiao Zhang, and then got on the minibus that had been arranged in advance. They were taken to Shangdu Airport and boarded a plane to Qiong Province.
They first flew to Yecheng, the capital of Qiong Province, and then took a bus to the competition venue, Qiongya Middle School in Donghai City. This National High School Olympiad CMO was hosted here, and the Boao Forum for Asia headquarters was nearby. In Wu Tong's memory, the Boao Airport was not open to flights at this time, and they had not yet sent a direct flight to Donghai.
Qiongya Middle School has a glorious history of a hundred years. During the Anti-Japanese War, the school continued to run on the road of war, and the music and singing continued. The red revolutionary spirit was passed on. They arrived in the afternoon and first checked into the hotel designated by CMO. After checking in, they began to rest.
On the morning of the 13th, the Chinese Mathematical Society and Qiongya Middle School held an opening ceremony, and under the guidance of the organizers, we visited the Qiongya School. The most eye-catching thing was naturally the ancient, elegant, majestic and magnificent red building.
The Central Plains Provincial Team took a group photo in front of the Red Building, which will be archived as the video material of this Central Plains Provincial Team. During the visit, Wu Tong took some special photos and sent them to the QQ family group, sharing her fresh sensory experience with her family who were thousands of miles away and eagerly waiting for her news.
As soon as he arrived at the hotel yesterday, Wu Tong reported to his family that he was safe.
Qiongya Middle School, as a first-class school in Qiongya Province, is also a key school in an economically developed city. It has support and donations from well-known alumni. It has complete facilities, including an atmospheric comprehensive building, a popular teaching building, an advanced sports and art building, a library with a rich collection of books, and a comfortable and elegant teaching building...
Such conditions made the Xincheng No. 1 High School where Wu Tong came from look shabby, and even his teammates from other key schools in Central China Province were envious. Shangdu No. 1 High School and No. 7 High School were both old and famous schools, so naturally many of the buildings were quite old. The facilities could not be compared with the Shangdu Foreign Languages College, which was considered to be wealthy in Shangdu, let alone the advanced and modern facilities here.
Many candidates could not help but feel resentful in their hearts, and they must do well in the exam this time, so as to use their results to suppress those candidates who came from superior conditions and prove their hard-working and simple fighting style.
Back at the hotel, Zhang Ping gathered a group of children and held a brief encouragement meeting.
He looked at the ten students present and said solemnly: "Dear students, you are the elite soldiers selected by our Zhongyuan Province. I have no doubt about your ability and talent. Even if you enter university in the future, you will be able to master the subject of mathematics.
Now we have a group of well-trained elite soldiers. I hope you will maintain our party's style of winning battles, show your true abilities, fight this battle beautifully, show the style of our Central Plains, and make the Central Plains proud of you! "
"No problem!" Ten candidates said in unison and firmly. This is what they yearn for.
"Huang Donghui, be careful when doing the questions. Check them carefully and read them carefully. I have seen your league papers. If you can be more careful, your score can be even higher!... Li Zihan, when doing the questions, you must think divergently and quickly. Mathematics is a logical game and you must have clear logic!... Feng Yueyue, be sure to keep a calm mind during the exam and keep a balanced mindset about gains and losses!" Zhang Ping pointed out the precautions for each candidate one by one.
