023 Shocked by myself again!

Ning's feedback on that paper was displayed on Handel's computer screen.

Five reviewers, three gave passing feedback.

The other two gave several revision suggestions, including adding some literature citations and appropriately modifying the format of the paper, and one of them also suggested that the author give a more detailed argumentation process.

Coincidentally, the two American mathematicians whom the editor-in-chief specially found were among the three reviewers who passed directly.

Handel thought about it for five minutes and then picked up the phone.

He made this call to a friend at Imperial College.

"Hey, Professor Ken, how are you doing?"

"Forget it, the damn weather is always annoying, and I'm counting how many days it's been since I've seen the sun."

"Ha, if our prime minister is willing to make a deal with God, sacrifice his staff with an IQ below 50 to the great Lord in exchange for a sunny day, then London may collapse due to the drought!"

"Haha, Handel, you've always had such a good sense of humor, you're a real gentleman. Well, what's the matter?"

"I'm here to tell you a decision. I decided to publish a mathematics paper from Huaxia in the first edition of the next issue of Nature."

"Oh? The math paper? The one about Smith?"

"Yes, his paper pointed out three obvious errors in Smith's paper, and none of the five reviewers, including Lucar and Rosenney, gave a clear rejection."

"Is it Tian?"

"That's why I called you. I read his information. He is still a student, a fourth-year student, studying at a school called Jiangcheng University. Do you understand?"

"My God, Handel, you are an angel. I just have one question, I am very interested in this kind of paper, why am I not a reviewer?"

"Don't complain, this time it's a double-blind review. In other words, no one knows the contact information of the author of the paper except me."

"You crafty bastard! Well, Handel, it's been a while since I've had French food. This weekend, maybe I'll treat you to dinner at Berners Tavern."

"I accept your invitation. If we don't hurry to eat more times, maybe one day when our cargo ship enters their port, these guys will directly declare their surrender. There will be no French restaurant in the future, and we will not be able to eat exquisite French food. It's ready."

"Haha! I can't wait to see that young man's thesis! It would be nice to have an email, and a phone would be even better!"

"As you wish!"

……

After hanging up the phone, Handel looked at the computer, and after summarizing the review comments, entered it into the system, then picked up the mouse and clicked on the minor revision.

Following Handel's action, an email was automatically generated and sent to Ningwei's mailbox. After thinking about it, Handel sent an editor-in-chief reminder email to the author: "minor revision should be finished with two weeks, otherwise the manuscript will be refused. If you have any problem, please don't hesitate to inform the editor-in-chief."

A young college student with solid theoretical knowledge, sufficient English proficiency, and careful choice of words and sentences is a rare creature in the world.

……

Early on Monday morning, when Ning Wei opened his eyes, he felt refreshed.

He had a dream last night.

He dreamed that he bought a lottery ticket and won the special prize twenty times by accident.

A bonus for a small goal, so that he can walk with the wind.

In the dream, he directly crossed the shackles of the distance from Jiangcheng to Yancheng, stood in front of Lao Ning, and smashed a bank card with 5000 million yuan on the coffee table. It felt so good.

It's a pity, before he could take a closer look at Lao Ning's expression at that time, he woke up.

……

Picking up the phone to check the time, it was only six o'clock in the morning.

There were three other people in the dormitory who were still sound asleep, snoring unconsciously.

Ning Wei had a very early rest yesterday, and he didn't know when Luo Xiang and Xu Ruixuan went back to bed.

Ning Wei closed his eyes for a while, and found that there were countless people, so he got up from the bed lightly.

There is no way, the three people in the dormitory are more angry than the other when they get up, and the so-called room rules list getting up before seven in the morning as behavior that must be criticized.In short, everyone has no opinion on how late you love to study and self-study, but it is absolutely not allowed to disturb people's dreams in the early stage.

He tiptoed to wash up, the computer was not turned on, he picked up four books and Ning Wei left the dormitory.

As usual, those who get up early have to occupy seats for those who get up late.

……

The first semester of the senior year is obviously less than that of the junior year, but there are two optimization theory and methods on Monday morning, which are compulsory courses for majors.

Although there are two people lying flat in the dormitory, they rarely skip the compulsory courses.

In Luo Xiang's words, after all, he paid for school, and Jiangcheng University's tuition is not cheap, so if he skipped a lot of classes, he would always feel sorry for Mimi's parents.

This theory is completely irrefutable logically.

The premise is that sleeping in class is not a waste of tuition...

The teacher who teaches this course is called Wan Liang. He is a very young associate professor. It is said that he is only 37 years old this year.

Ning Wei didn't know much about this professor before, but today he is very interested in this class.

There is no other reason, this is the first time he has formally attended a class after a series of unimaginable abilities appeared in his body, and of course he is very curious about what kind of sparks he can collide with this knowledge in class.

At [-]:[-] in the morning, the four people in the dormitory sat together in the last row of the classroom.

Ning Wei sat on the far side, no matter what these three people were doing in class, it would not affect him.

There is also a tacit understanding in the dormitory.

After all, Ning Wei really needs to work hard if he wants to pass the exam and get credits at the end of the semester.

When the teacher started the class, Ning Wei quickly got into the mood.

Optimization theory and methods mainly explain some commonly used and effective algorithms for constrained and unconstrained nonlinear optimization, and some related theories are also introduced.For example, the common linear search method, conjugate effect set method, quadratic programming problem algorithm, penalty function method, and so on in unconstrained optimization.

Simply put, this course teaches how to seek certain factors under given constraints to optimize a certain indicator.By studying this course, master the problem modeling as an optimization model to solve it.

Today the teacher is talking about the conjugate direction method.

Soon Ning Wei found that his brain was activated again by what the teacher said on the podium.

It's a little different from reading a book.

With the deepening of the teacher's content, more and more writing on the blackboard, his brain also began to simulate many branches of the same kind of optimization model simultaneously.

What's even more gratifying is that he found that he can actually complete the conversion from mathematical language to computer language in his brain.

It's as if his brain can program itself, and then check it independently, and use it to judge the advantages and disadvantages of the optimization algorithms described by these teachers.

How can I say this feeling...

Ning Wei felt that he could be substituted into a computer, and then from the perspective of the computer, he could evaluate the algorithms written by humans for it as good or bad...

what is this?

Computer proficient?

024 The most worrying thing

This feeling is very strange, but unfortunately, this does not mean that Ning Wei brings it into his smartphone to open the King of Glory or other game software to enjoy the first-person gaming experience.

If an analogy is necessary, it is probably to let him see a complete program, so that he can quickly judge whether the program can run smoothly.

Of course, whether this is the case, in fact, Ning Wei himself is not sure.

Because he doesn't have such a program for him to verify.

Ning Wei has a certain level of programming.

After all, the Applied Mathematics major had a language class in their sophomore year.In this era, almost all science and engineering subjects cannot escape learning computer programming.

But the level can only be said to be unsatisfactory.

But Ning Wei could feel that the things taught by Teacher Wan were very useful.

Because his brain has begun to help him connect to the application of matrix optimization in machine deep learning.

The latter is definitely the most cutting-edge discipline today. After all, every bit of progress in artificial intelligence affects various consumer products and affects the hearts of countless people.

Up to now, Ningwei has a clearer understanding of his abilities.

The brief coma in the rainstorm that day gave him the ability to quickly absorb science knowledge and expand interdisciplinary knowledge on the basis of receiving existing knowledge.

Theoretically speaking, the more knowledge he has access to now, the faster he can acquire relevant advanced knowledge.

In terms of efficiency, it may be better to have a professor in class than to read books by yourself, because the advanced knowledge expanded is more complex, but if the knowledge expanded through reading books and papers is more systematic, it can be said that each has its own advantages and disadvantages.

Compared with this ability, the postgraduate entrance examination is just a trivial matter.

Even whether or not to take the postgraduate entrance examination is already a trivial matter for Ning Wei.

The only and fatal problem is that Ning Wei has no idea how long his ability can last.

If this ability doesn't decline with the passage of time, or disappear suddenly one day, then the current predicament is really not a big problem for Ning Wei.

The key is that he can't be sure whether the ability that suddenly appeared will suddenly disappear again. This problem is what Ningwei is most worried about at present.

He couldn't even be sure whether the knowledge that had been deeply imprinted in his mind would be removed from his brain because of the disappearance of this ability.

So even now he feels that he is going to be omnipotent, but he is still struggling with the small balance on his bank card.

Well, graduate students still have to take the exam.

And you must go to the best school, which is a guarantee.

After all, not only can he learn things in a prestigious school, but he can also make friends with capable mentors and classmates, so even if his ability is lost, at least his future lower limit will not be too low.

It's best to take advantage of this inexplicable ability to max out the honors that can be earned.

Of course, it would be best if it could be realized.

In addition to listening to the class, Ning Wei also made a brief plan for his future.

……

"Finally the class is over. Really, every time I take Professor Wan's class, I feel physically and mentally destroyed. They are all human beings, why is there such a big difference? Is this a class? It's a bible!" After class, Xu Ruixuan started complaining as usual.

"Who said it wasn't! The most outrageous thing is that I, a candidate who scored less than 120 points in mathematics in the college entrance examination, was actually transferred to a mathematics major! I want to switch to a major in science because I can't apply because I didn't meet the math standards in the college entrance examination. I don’t want to apply for science, so who the hell came up with the rules for changing majors?”

Luo Xiang followed Xu Ruixuan and turned on the Tucao mode simultaneously.

Ning Wei packed the books silently, ignoring the two of them.

You can't talk at this time, or the two angry guys will use him as a punching bag.

Fortunately, someone is more upset with these two guys than him today.

"I said you two are enough! It's not the first day of class? The gap in IQ cannot be smoothed out by complaining. If you can be proud of love, you two can have fun!" Liu Cong said sourly.

"Okay, don't be sour. Brother, I'll treat you to dinner today, so I'll save face!" Luo Xiang patted Liu Cong on the shoulder, then turned his head and said to Ning Wei.

"Huh? Another dormitory dinner?"

"How can you get tired of being together every day?"

"Then go to the cafeteria."

"Which cafeteria are you going to? Yesterday Lao Xu paid the bill, but today it's me. Let's continue to eat barbecue."

Ning Wei probably understood Luo Xiang's intentions.

To put it bluntly, Luo Xiang knew that today was the day when he reported and posted criticisms.

Generally speaking, if it is a criticism within the college, it will be posted directly on the bulletin board at the entrance of the college's male and female dormitories; but if it is a criticism from the whole school, it must be posted on the bulletin boards outside the school's major cafeterias and teaching buildings.

It might even be broadcast throughout the school.

The notices and criticisms posted on various bulletin boards are usually marked to be kept for three days, but at Jiangda University, most of the time, the posts are torn up within a day, and no one really cares about it.After all, in addition to the traditional publicity method, these notifications and criticisms will also appear simultaneously on the official website of the school or college.

This is why Luo Xiang invites everyone to dinner, so that Ning Wei will not be depressed when he sees his report and criticizes.

In fact, it is not a big deal, but it is precisely because of the accumulation of such small things that the relationship between the four people in the dormitory has always been very good.

"It's not necessary. How can anyone eat barbecue every day? Just go to the cafeteria. I can bear such a small blow." Ning Wei shook his head and refused.

"It's Luo Xiang, you underestimate our baby Ning's ability to resist blows. What's a criticism? It won't be included in the file. Not to mention that we are right, what are we afraid of? I'd like to see the school's announcement How is the criticism worded? If the writing is not good enough, dare to add embellishments or not touching enough, we will accompany Ning Wei to the Academic Affairs Office, and teach the teacher who is doing the copywriting a new high school Chinese language!" Xu Ruixuan patted Ning Wei on the shoulder and said proudly .

Ning Wei smiled wryly.
