Chapter 94, Jiang Hao Mathematics
Today is Wednesday. Associate Professor Feng Shiduo from the Department of Mathematics at Shuimu University got up early and rushed to school, then waited quietly in his office.
Today is the first day of the special training class. Feng Shiduo doesn’t know where the class is held or what it is about. He just received a notice that someone will come to the school to pick him up at 8 o’clock this morning.
In the quiet office, Feng Shiduo calmed down and thought of Wang Tingzheng whom he met yesterday.
Although it is not a bad thing for Wang Tingzheng to study for a master's degree with the young Jiang Hao, and he will definitely make more money than doing mathematics.
But Feng Shiduo always felt that it was a pity for Wang Tingzheng to give up mathematics given his talent.
But this is an era of "money first", and Wang Tingzheng's choice is not wrong.
"Ding~"
At this moment, Feng Shiduo's cell phone rang and he received an unfamiliar text message, which reminded him of a series of things to pay attention to when participating in the "JHSX" special training class.
This was the first time Feng Shiduo knew the code name of this special training class - "JHSX"
Looking at this code name, Feng Shiduo was stunned: "Speaking of mathematics? What kind of code name is this?"
Feng Shiduo had just finished browsing the text messages when a very ordinary and low-key Buick GL8 stopped downstairs of his office - the person who was going to pick him up for the special training class had arrived.
Watching other colleagues getting into the GL8 car one after another, Feng Shiduo realized that it was not only him who participated in this special training class from Shuimu University, but also several other colleagues, and not only those from the Department of Mathematics, but also professors from other departments.
This special training class was really mysterious. All electronic products of Feng Shiduo and others were temporarily confiscated, and even some personal belongings such as cigarettes, lighters, and water cups were taken away.
Feng Shiduo got out of the car and looked around the unfamiliar little courtyard.
Feng Shiduo was a bit of a smoker, and although his own cigarette lighter was taken away, the staff gave him internal cigarettes and lighters.
Feng Shiduo wanted to smoke, but the mysterious and serious atmosphere of the courtyard made him dare not smoke. When Feng Shiduo was walking in the courtyard, a familiar smell of cigarettes came into his nostrils.
Feng Shiduo was delighted: "The leader effect" came - if other people started smoking, he could do the same.
And when Feng Shiduo looked towards the direction where the smell of smoke came from, well, he felt disappointed, because the three people standing in the small pavilion in the garden smoking were all academicians, including his own mentor, Academician Kou Cong.
Even if there is no smoking area here, where they are standing is the smoking area. Feng Shiduo doesn't think he is qualified to stand with them and smoke.
"Teacher!" Seeing his teacher, Feng Shiduo hurriedly greeted him.
Even though he is a teacher and has students, Feng Shiduo always feels like he is "suppressed by blood" when he sees his mentor, Academician Kou Cong.
Academician Kou Cong put out his cigarette, glanced at his student Feng Shiduo, and said to him, "Well! Today's special training class is very good, don't embarrass me!"
"Teacher, what is this special training class about?" Feng Shiduo asked the teacher secretly.
Academician Kou Cong smiled bitterly and said, "A kind of wild and unrestrained mathematics that tortures me to death!"
Feng Shiduo didn't understand what the teacher said, but he also knew that he couldn't ask more questions, so after saying goodbye to the teacher, Feng Shiduo walked into the classroom.
The classroom was quite large. There were a dozen young students sitting in the back row, and in the middle, there were more than twenty young professors and researchers from various universities and research institutes in Beijing, like Feng Shiduo.
Feng Shiduo's desk mate was a young scholar in his early forties. Feng Shiduo knew him. He was Professor Wu Ming from Yenching University of Aeronautics and Astronautics, an outstanding expert in the domestic aerospace field and a recipient of the Outstanding Youth Fund. I heard that he would be selected as a Yangtze River Scholar this year. He was a very capable scholar.
Feng Shiduo took the initiative to greet Professor Wu Ming, who was sitting next to him: "Professor Wu, what exactly is the special training class about today?"
Professor Wu Ming, who was writing something seriously, glanced at his deskmate, shook his head, and said, "I don't know either. I just received more than a dozen economics papers yesterday and was asked to read them all." "Economics papers?" Feng Shiduo was stunned and asked, "Is this special training class about economics?"
"No, no, no, that's not it!" Professor Wu Ming shook his head hurriedly: "The key is the mathematical analysis part of these economics papers!"
Professor Wu Ming then continued with a hint of awe in his eyes: "The author of these economics papers is the young Jiang Hao from Yenching University, the founder behind Pinduoduo."
"Jiang Hao?" Feng Shiduo was stunned. He couldn't understand why this name appeared in such an occasion.
Professor Wu Ming nodded and continued, "People said before how great he was. They said he would win the Nobel Prize in Economics."
"But I always look down on him and social sciences. I always think they are all hype and nonsense!"
"But when I read his article, I found that I was wrong, very wrong. He made me understand that 'hard work is worthless in the face of talent'!"
Then, Professor Wu Ming said admiringly: "Really, as long as you put aside the economic content in his economics paper and only look at his mathematical analysis, you will be shocked by his genius thinking!"
"No wonder his economics caused such a sensation. I heard that the core model of HY Standard Ratings Company on Wall Street was written by him!"
“I think even if he doesn’t win the Nobel Prize in Economics, if he stays on the path of mathematics and continues to study the mathematical analysis in his paper, he will win the Fields Medal in Mathematics!”
Then, Professor Wu Ming spoke with some doubts: "I am also quite skeptical. Didn't he study mathematics with Academician Ke Wanqing? How come I have never heard of his achievements in the field of mathematics?"
"Then can't Academician Ke Wanqing see his talent for mathematics?"
"Hush! Academician Ke Wanqing is here." At this time, several academicians came in and began to sit in the front row.
Among these academicians was Academician Ke Wanqing. Feng Shiduo hurriedly reminded Professor Wu Ming to speak in a lower voice.
An academician is a crushing existence for these professors.
Seeing Professor Wu Ming's high praise for Jiang Hao's economics paper, Feng Shiduo thought of Wang Tingzheng, who was obsessed with the mathematics in Jiang Hao's economics paper.
Feng Shiduo thought about it carefully and felt that something seemed to be wrong.
When Feng Shiduo raised his head, his pupils dilated. Seeing Wang Tingzheng walking into the classroom, Feng Shiduo's jaw almost dropped: "Wang Tingzheng, why are you here? Aren't you running a project with your supervisor?"
After seeing Professor Feng Shiduo, Wang Tingzheng, who was fiddling with the projector on the podium, smiled and said, "Professor Feng, you are here. Please wait a moment while I finish organizing the courseware!"
"Do you know him?" Seeing that Professor Feng Shiduo knew the young teaching assistant on the stage, his deskmate Professor Wu Ming asked.
Feng Shiduo nodded and said, "Yes! This is a student from the Department of Mathematics at our Shuimu University. He is very talented in mathematics. He has also read Jiang Hao's economics paper and highly praised the mathematics part of Jiang Hao's economics paper!"
"He recently gave up his offer to study mathematics at Princeton University and went to study energy economics with Jiang Hao. Why is he here?"
Professor Wu Ming frowned, and his brain began to work quickly. After connecting several key points together, Professor Wu Ming hurriedly asked Professor Feng Shiduo: "Professor Feng, are you sure this student is studying economics with Jiang Hao?"
Faced with Professor Wu Ming's question, Feng Shiduo was stunned. He was really not sure.
Professor Wu Ming continued to ask: "What is the code name of this special training class?"
"JHSX" Feng Shiduo gave four letters. When Feng Shiduo finished speaking, he and Professor Wu Ming opened their eyes wide. A bold idea flashed through their minds at the same time. After looking at each other, they said in unison: "Jiang Hao Mathematics?!"
