Chapter 57: Free Class



teacher?

Lu Xiao nodded slightly and said, "Okay, honorary professor is also worthy of this title."

Eager to catch that spark of inspiration, Wu Tong quickly returned to her previous seat and began to study Professor Zellberg's paper published in the Annals of Mathematics in 1995. This was the tool that Zellberg wanted to leave for the world to overcome the Goldbach conjecture.

At this moment, it turned into Wu Tong's weapon that slashed towards the twin prime conjecture. Sparks of thought collided, and inspiration in his mind extended.

Wu Tong pulled the draft paper under her hands, and turned her inspiration into a formula with great mathematical beauty, writing it down. Everything in the outside world had already drifted away from her. Soon, a piece of filled draft paper was moved to a corner of the table where it would not be in the way. Wu Tong continued her deduction without stopping.

Lu Xiao glanced at Wu Tong, who was absorbed in his research, and a smile spread across his eyes. What a nice kid, wasn't he? He was even tempted. Perhaps accepting the suggestion and taking him as a student would yield unexpected rewards.

The burst of inspiration allowed Wu Tong to take a solid step forward in the twin prime conjecture. Although she still had to solve the problem completely, she had already vaguely felt the direction to the right path. She only had to slowly deduce step by step and build the bridge to solve the problem.

On the 20th day of the first lunar month, Peking University students who had returned home for the Lunar New Year holiday flocked back to their nests, and the Peking University campus began to buzz with activity. Whether enjoying the quiet or the bustling atmosphere, Wu Tong asked Professor Li for her class schedule, maintaining her pace, continuing her studies and research, and occasionally attending classes that interested her.

On the morning of March 14th, the first selection and training session of the 2010 Chinese Mathematics National Training Team opened at Peking University. Mathematicians from various provinces and cities gathered at Peking University.

In addition to the top 30 CMOs, there are also several other elites selected from the election, totaling 60 training team members.

In the next 15 days of competition, 15 places for advancement in this round will be competed for. 45 students will be eliminated in the first round of this selection.

In addition to the sixty actual training team members, there were also 34 auditors. Some of these auditors were selected from junior high school competitions, while others were outstanding first and second year high school students who had won second place or higher in this year's CMO. The training camp was divided into three classes, with six lectures and four rounds of exams. Each class was assigned a homeroom teacher, and the management was fully closed.

The leader of this training team happened to be Wu Tong, who did not avoid Li Yisheng who was invited by the school. His partners included one of his colleagues and four teachers from other universities.

Accommodation and dining were arranged uniformly, and the final list of students who advanced to the next round of intensive training would be announced at the closing ceremony based on their overall scores. Professor Li and another professor from Peking University, Cheng, were in charge of Wu Tong's class. This class consisted largely of students who had competed in the CMO competition.

Considering that Wu Tong had already been studying at Peking University for many days and would have to continue studying and living after the selection training, Professor Li did not let Wu Tong move again.

He told Wu Tong whether to attend classes or not, as long as he took the selection exam on time and followed the process with his scores. The training camp content was not of much value to Wu Tong, so there was no need to waste his time studying in depth.

Based on what he knew about Wu Tong's learning progress, the so-called selection competition was nothing but a drop in the bucket for her.

She could easily handle the CMO exam, even the graduate-level questions. With Wu Tong's learning ability and the resources at Peking University, she should have no problem reaching a higher level. The IMO wasn't a big challenge for Wu Tong.

This year at IMO, unless there are any accidents, Wu Tong will have no problem winning the gold medal.

Without having to follow the training team's schedule, Wu Tong's time is as free as ever.

Today she attended a class at the Department of Physics. While delving deeply into mathematics, she needed to change her mind occasionally, so she interspersed it with the study of university physics.

After the start of the school year at Kyoto University, she had another advantage. She could find suitable classes to attend on a freelance basis according to her own studies. Kyoto University does not exclude students who attend freelance classes. She has free time to arrange her schedule and can basically attend any class she is interested in.

After all, he was attending the class for free, so Wu Tong didn't sit at the front row openly. He usually sat at the back of the classroom.

Today's lecturer was on the mechanics of materials. She had seen the teacher introduce him: Professor Mu, a renowned figure in the Department of Physics at Peking University and even in the national physics community. He must be in his late 50s, in the prime of his life, and arguably a key figure in the department's high-energy physics department. For him to teach such a fundamental subject as mechanics of materials as a sophomore was a complete overkill.

Professor Mu's teaching style is typical of university professors. His lectures are as fast as machine gun fire, and he occasionally jumps through a series of knowledge points. After all, in the eyes of these experts, these contents are really the basics that everyone should be able to understand at a glance.

This resulted in only a small number of students being able to barely keep up with the lectures, while the majority felt carsick. Wu Tong had just finished studying theoretical mechanics, and many of the principles were familiar to him. However, when the principles of theoretical mechanics were applied in a mixed way, many things and foundations began to become confusing, requiring a strong understanding.

The ability to understand is something Wu Tong has in abundance. She listened attentively, learned with great interest, nodded from time to time when she understood, and compared her understanding with the teacher's explanation. To receive guidance from a famous teacher is something many people only dream of!

Professor Mu Xuewu was sitting on the podium, with a clear view of what was happening below the stage. These students, who had just learned basic physics and were new to materials physics, were mostly confused.

However, he had already covered all the key points he needed to explain. If you didn't understand anything in class, you should go back and study harder. Learning is the student's own responsibility. University isn't like high school, where teachers have to break things down, chew them up, and stuff them into small pieces for students.

In the midst of confusion, Wu Tong in the back row had a look of recognition and understanding on his face, as if he had gained something. From time to time, he lowered his head and wrote and drew, which was like a bright light, especially obvious.

Did he understand everything? That's rare. It's not like everyone in the classroom couldn't keep up with his lecture, but most of them only understood a fragment. Did he really understand, or was he just pretending? The child looked childish and young. I don't think I've seen this student before.

"Who's the last student in line? Yes, it's you, little classmate!"

When her name was called, Wu Tong didn't react. She thought it was someone else. She had skipped many classes, and the teacher rarely called names from the back row. So, when she was called, she thought it was someone else. It wasn't until she met the teacher's eyes and confirmed it was her that she stood up, somewhat bewildered.
