Reading as a god

Chapter 228 The old fox!
Human memory is very strange~
Short-term memory may quickly be lost in the ocean of information, but long-term memory can last a lifetime.

Zhang Shan felt that Professor Wu's words at that time could be remembered and used for a lifetime.

It's just that Zhang Shan still doesn't know the real intention of Professor Wu looking for him!

Could it be that I did something wrong to be interviewed~
Zhang Shan thought about it seriously, except that he and Gu Youyou accidentally "lost" once yesterday.

I didn't do anything wrong~
Could it be that the matter of donating the scholarship before was still too high-profile after all?
But it’s not enough!
With complicated thoughts, Zhang Shan followed Xin Jiaxuan into the department head's office!

Professor Wu's office is ordinary, except that there is a big screen behind the desk.

It seems that there is even a hole in the sky behind.

~~~
As soon as Professor Wu saw Zhang Shan, he said cheerfully:

"Student Zhang Shan, I heard that you have just been discharged from the hospital. Are you in good health~"

"Thank you for your concern, Professor, that's great!"

"Student Zhang is young and promising..."

"..."

It took a long time to exchange pleasantries before Zhang Shan understood the ins and outs.

It turned out that Professor Luo and Professor Zou actually asked Professor Wu for someone at the same time, planning to let Zhang Shan choose a major related to them as the second bachelor's major.

Hearing what Professor Wu said, Zhang Shan felt relieved.

It turns out that they just want people. The Professor Luo that Professor Wu said is naturally Luo Binghe, and Zhang Shan has long been mentally prepared~
"Professor Wu, I have read Professor Luo's book and know Professor Luo, but who is Professor Zou?"

See Zhang Shan's bewildered expression!
Professor Wu explained with a smile:
"You don't know, Professor Zhou is the head of the Department of Mathematical Sciences~
Professor Zou established the relationship between the Multi-Bump solution and Morse theory for the first time, and solved the Multi-Bump solution of the periodic potential and critical exponential growth Xue equation of 4 dimensions and above, and systematically established the infinite-dimensional weak surround theory without PS compactness.

In the leading position in the research of the famous Bahri-Lions-Rabinowitz disturbance problem, the Brezis-Nirenberg critical exponential problem, and the ground state solution of the four-dimensional Bose-Einstein condensed elliptic equations.Published two English monographs in Springer-New York, USA, and systematically established the theoretical framework of the sign-changing critical point and a series of new critical point abstract theorems.

Published more than 100 SCI papers in international journals in Europe and America, and MathSciNet showed that the articles were cited 1770 times.

Some of Zou's results were cited and introduced as important conclusions in the foreign "Handbook of Differential Equations" and "Handbook of Large-scale Analysis".

Some abstract theorems, lemmas, definitions and counterexamples established by Zou have been completely written in their papers by many scholars at home and abroad, and used to solve other important problems. These scholars’ papers have been published in important international SCI journals . "

so excellent~
Zhang Shan also seemed to understand that he was able to attract the attention of an expert like Professor Zou, obviously because of the previously published paper on discrete mathematics.

It was just a paper related to the four-color theorem. Zhang Shan really didn't understand what attracted Professor Zou to it.

What Professor Wu actually didn’t tell Zhang Shan is that when both Professor Luo and Professor Zou first came to him, the request was not for him to ask Zhang Shan which second bachelor’s degree to choose.

Instead, they came directly to poach the wall and persuade Zhang Shan to transfer to another department!

Now think about it, Professor Wu is still so angry that he is so angry that he can't dig into our computer department!
But it's no wonder that everyone has the same expectations for outstanding talents.

The Department of Mathematics or the Department of Chinese Language needs a computer genius, and Professor Wu feels that he will also poach the wall.

~~
Professor Wu followed up and said, "Student Zhang, have you considered a second bachelor's degree before?"

"The second bachelor's degree is a post-undergraduate education in terms of level. Like the training of graduate students, it is also a way to cultivate high-level specialized talents. The qualification for granting a second bachelor's degree needs to be approved by the Ministry of Education. Only the Ministry of Education approves the establishment of the second bachelor's degree. Only colleges and universities with second bachelor's degree majors have the right to issue second bachelor's degree certificates. This is limited to some undergraduate colleges with a long history of running schools, strong teachers, and high levels of teaching and research.

As for the fact that our school has a second-degree major in Chinese language and literature and mathematics..."

"Student Zhang Shan, I came to you this time to ask which of the two second bachelor's degrees you are more interested in!"

Zhang Shanxin said, in fact, he can have both!
But Zhang Shan still hesitated for a while and asked Professor Wu: "Professor Wu, do you have any suggestions?"

Professor Wu pondered:

"No matter which one you choose, I hope you will not forget your major and be solid in basic research!

Basic research aims to discover the laws of nature and develop scientific theories.

Human beings explore the mysteries of the universe, discover the essence of matter, expand the boundaries of knowledge, and inspire inventions and creations by advancing basic research.

Most basic research is curiosity-driven research that has no direct practical purpose and often appears useless.

Abraham Flexner, a well-known American scholar of higher education, wrote in the article "The Usefulness of Useless Knowledge", "Most of the truly great discoveries that benefit mankind are not motivated by practical desires." , but driven by a desire to satisfy curiosity'

The value of basic research is often not obvious in the short term, so it is necessary to have a long-term perspective to view the value of basic research.

To promote basic research, we must avoid short-sightedness, and it is incorrect to place too high expectations on the application of basic research.

Only by continuing to strengthen basic research can we make major breakthroughs in the future.Basic research is highly uncertain. "

Zhang Shan:? ? ?
Professor Wu, forget it if you don’t answer me. Why are you talking about basic research?
Professor Wu still said to himself:
"To do basic research, we must unite and learn to cooperate with others.

With the continuous enrichment of human knowledge, breakthroughs in basic research have become more and more difficult, and it has become increasingly impossible for a few people to complete them.

In 1916, Einstein made the prediction of gravitational waves based on the general theory of relativity.

直到2016年2月11日，由100多个机构、涉及18个国家和地区的千余名科学家组成的激光干涉引力波天文台（LIGO）宣布首次直接探测到引力波，这是人类第一次发现引力波存在的直接证据。

It took mankind a full 100 years from proposing the concept of gravitational waves to proving their existence.

In the journey of human exploration of the unknown, extensive cooperation and even worldwide cooperation will become an important basis for major breakthroughs.

In addition, universities play a unique and irreplaceable role in organizing and promoting basic research.

I hope you can cherish your college life! "

Zhang Shan:? ? ?this?
Suddenly seeing a faint figure behind the screen, Zhang Shan suddenly realized!

It turned out that someone else was there, probably Professor Luo and Professor Zou.

No wonder Professor Wu has been talking to each other all the time, heh, what an old fox!
