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 had suddenly emerged from nowhere and topped the provincial rankings, was truly amazing. I heard she skipped her freshman year to her junior year, teaching herself all the high school math. She could handle Lagrange's mean value theorem so well, it seemed she had a thorough understanding of advanced math, and even more than that!
Being able to reach this level through self-study, this kind of mathematical talent is unprecedented among the students he has seen, and few can match it. Perhaps it should be comparable to 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 return to your seat. Do not disrupt the lectures, and do as you please. 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 would be counterproductive!
"Other students, please look at the blackboard. I will take advantage of Wu Tong's problem-solving process to give you a brief introduction to Lagrange's mean value theorem and then analyze this problem!" 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 was just explaining this theorem to other students to broaden their horizons. A few students might have come across this topic before, but not everyone was as skilled as the one just now! Otherwise, if there were a few more extraordinary talents like Wu Tong, he, the head coach, could retire right here this year!
Wu Tong returned to her seat. Since she had been allowed to arrange things as she pleased, she didn't hesitate. She took out the elementary number theory book she had been studying recently, turned to the part she had read yesterday, took a pen and paper, and continued to deduce.
Students who caught sight of the cover of the book in Wu Tong's hand were struck by lightning. That must be a very in-depth university textbook, right? They hadn't even mastered high school yet, and he was already entering university research. This was another blow to the chasm between humanity and God!
They can’t compare, they can’t compare. They are now looking forward to the competition starting soon. Let this god go and wreak havoc in the national competition!
Time will not pass quickly because of someone's expectations, nor will it stay because of someone's attempts to keep it.
That evening, Zhang Ping, with Teacher Xiao Zhang as the assistant, arranged a pre-game pep dinner for the ten members of the training team. Afterward, the two Teachers Zhang personally escorted the students to the dormitories, and Teacher Xiao Zhang personally watched over the several members of the team who had been assigned to the apartment complex to 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 then 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 immediately 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 today, she immediately realized that there was indeed a big gap between her and Wu Tong. She was still struggling with the deduction problem, but Wu Tong had the answer at a glance. It really made her realize that there is always someone better than you. She still needs to work harder!
Wu Tong has already started learning elementary number theory, so she has to finish learning advanced mathematics quickly to catch up.
Early the next morning, everyone got up and packed their things at the call of Teacher Xiao Zhang, and then boarded a minibus that had been arranged in advance. They were taken to Shangdu Airport and boarded a flight 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 was the venue for the National High School Olympiad CMO, and nearby was the Boao Forum for Asia headquarters. As Wu Tong remembered it, Boao Airport wasn't yet operational, so they hadn't yet flown directly to Donghai.
Qiongya Middle School has a glorious history of a hundred years. It relocated during the Anti-Japanese War, but it still insisted on running schools on the road of war, with music and singing, and 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 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 part of this year's Central Plains Provincial Team video archive. During the visit, Wu Tong took some unique photos and shared them in her QQ family group, sharing her fresh sensory experiences with her family, who were thousands of miles away and eagerly awaiting 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 A-level school in Qiongya Province and a key school in an economically developed city, has received support and donations from well-known alumni. It has complete facilities, including a grand comprehensive building, a popular teaching building, an advanced sports and arts building, a well-stocked library, and comfortable and elegant teaching buildings.
Such conditions made Wu Tong's hometown, Xincheng No. 1 High School, look shabby by comparison, and even his teammates, who hailed from prestigious schools in Central China Province, were envious. Shangdu No. 1 High School and No. 7 High School were both established and prestigious schools, so naturally many of the buildings were quite old. Their facilities couldn't compare to Shangdu Foreign Languages College, a prestigious institution, let alone the cutting-edge facilities here.
Many candidates could not help but feel resentful, and they must do well in the exam this time, and use their results to surpass those candidates who came from superior conditions, proving 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 from our Zhongyuan Province. I have no doubt about your abilities and talents. Even if you enter university in the future, you will be able to master mathematics like a duck to water.
Now we have this 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!" The ten candidates said in unison and firmly. This was their dream.
"Huang Donghui, you must be cautious when doing the test. Check the questions carefully and read them carefully. I have seen your league papers. If you were more careful, your score could be even higher!... Li Zihan, when doing the test, you must think divergently and quickly. Mathematics is a logical game, so you must have clear logic!... Feng Yueyue, you must 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.
