I Am the President of the University

Latest website: Ludao University, an institution directly under the Ministry of Education, was founded in 1921 by the patriotic overseas Chinese leader Mr. Tan Kah Kee. It is the first university founded by overseas Chinese in the history of modern education in China. It is one of the earliest universities in China to recruit graduate students and the first in the country. Universities building independent campuses overseas.

The four campuses cover an area of ​​9,700 acres, with more than 40,000 students, 2,662 full-time teachers, and 22 academicians of the two academies.

When Guanghua University faces Ludao University, at least judging from the current situation, it is like a child facing a giant.

Except for the recent photonic screen and the optical core under development, there is no need to fight the rest.

Zheng Tianyu stood at the gate of Ludao University, looking up at the majestic gate with admiration.

Zhang Lei on the side was amazed and said: "It is indeed the No. 1 university in Hu Province. It is so cool that non-teachers and students are not allowed to enter."

Zheng Tianyu followed Zhang Lei's line of sight and saw a family of four standing at the entrance of the school gate, arguing with the security guard.

Huaxia's universities are open and anyone can enter the campus, with a few exceptions.

For example, Tsinghua University and Peking University in Beijing, Ludao University in Ludao, and Suzhou University in Suzhou City.

Because the campuses of these schools are beautiful, the excessive number of tourists has seriously affected students' classes, and the schools have to be closed.

If you want to visit, you must make a reservation through the official account.

And there are strict requirements for this time, and you can only enter on weekends, holidays, winter and summer vacations.

It's still a working day, and the family obviously doesn't know about Ludao University's campus control.

"Okay, we should go in." Lu Zhou raised his glasses and walked forward.

Zheng Tianyu and Zhang Lei also quickly followed.

The defense was at 9 o'clock in the morning, but the three of them went out at around 7 o'clock, and it was only 8 o'clock when they arrived at Luda.

The three of them arrived early. On the one hand, they were worried about missing the time, and on the other hand, they also wanted to take this opportunity to stroll around Ludao University.

Although I am already a sophomore and have been in Ludao for a year, this is my first time coming to Ludao University.

The family of four at the entrance knew they couldn't get in, so they had no choice but to give up the idea of ​​going in and left, complaining about Ludao University.

The security guard at the door saw Zheng Tianyu and the others walking over and said, "It's not the weekend, tourists are not allowed to enter."

Zheng Tianyu took a step forward and said, "We are participating in the defense of a mathematical modeling competition."

"Please show proof."

"Hold on."

After showing their certificates, the three of them were able to pass and successfully entered Ludao University.

The campus scenery of Ludao University is really good, with green trees and the sound of swans can be heard when passing by Furong Lake.

The most beautiful thing is the poinciana trees on both sides of the road.

There is a saying about the Poinciana tree at Ludao University that the flowers bloom in two seasons, one season for the old students to leave, and one season for the new students to come.

It’s October in the golden autumn, and some of the phoenix flowers can still be seen blooming.

Zhang Lei raised his head and said with emotion: "The flowers on this tree are quite beautiful."

Zheng Tianyu, who has been observing the environment of Ludao University, thought for a while and said: "From the perspective of campus environment, I feel that Ludao University is not much different from our Guanghua University."

Lu Zhou nodded and said, "It's almost the same."

Before coming here, the three of them still had admiration for Ludao University, but when they came here today, it seemed that it was similar to their own school.

My view of prestigious schools has also changed from admiration to normalcy.

Zheng Tianyu looked away, looked at Lu Zhou, and said solemnly: "Today's defense depends on you, Lu Zhou."

Lu Zhou replied calmly, "Don't worry."

The defense is conducted in order, and each time a group enters, it can be one of the three team members, or it can be three districts.

Zheng Tianyu's group of three people all went in, and the defense was mainly given to Lu Zhou, while Zheng Tianyu was responsible for supplementing. As for Zhang Lei... he was responsible for the soy sauce.

Half an hour later, standing in front of a teaching building, the three of them stopped.

At the entrance of the teaching building, there is a background wall more than 2 meters high, with a row of words written on it:

"The 2020 National Undergraduate Mathematical Modeling Competition Hu Province Division recommends and recommends the national award defense review meeting."

The time is gradually approaching 9 o'clock, and many participating students have begun to enter the building.

"Let's go." Lu Zhou's face was calm, with a fighting spirit in his eyes.

A moment later, Ludao University was in the lounge prepared for participating students.

There were many students present in the room. There were 126 groups with a total of 378 people participating in the thesis defense this time.

Before 9 o'clock, some people were looking at printed papers, while others were chatting.

"Hey, brothers, have you participated in the thesis defense? What will happen later?"

"Don't be afraid. Anyway, we are here for the defense. Everyone present is the provincial first prize winner, and most of them can enter the national competition."

"Speaking of which, how many groups can enter the national competition?"

"Each province recommends different places for the national competition. According to previous years, it is a little more than 3/4."

"Okay, then I'll rest assured. I'll be satisfied if I get the second grade."

Zheng Tianyu listened to the discussion and said nothing. He just sat down with his two teammates.

As soon as I took my seat, a boy next to me came over and asked curiously: "Which college are you from, classmate?"

"Me?" Zheng Tianyu was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously replied: "From the College of Engineering and Technology."

The boy was also startled when he heard this, and asked doubtfully: "Huh? Does our Luda University have this academy?"

Zheng Tianyu responded awkwardly: "Well, I'm not a big fan."

"Oh, this is it."

After the boy learned that the other party was not from his school, his interest in chatting suddenly disappeared, and he retreated back to chat with his teammates.

Seeing Zheng Tianyu shaking his head and observing, Lu Zhou reminded: "Don't look, more than half of the people here are from Ludao University."

"More than half? How do you know the elbow?" Zheng Tianyu was shocked by this number.

Lu Zhou glanced at Zheng Tianyu and asked, "Do you know how many teams won the provincial first prize in last year's mathematical modeling competition?"

Zheng Tianyu asked curiously: "How many groups?"

Lu Zhou said calmly: "181 groups won the provincial first prize, of which 98 groups were students from Ludao University."

"This...this is too scary."

Seeing how serious the involution was, Zheng Tianyu was shocked.

There are 39 undergraduate schools in Hu Province, including one 985/211 university (Ludao University), one 211 university (Fuzhou University), and the rest are dual non-undergraduates.

Judging from last year’s awards, the provincial first prize was basically reserved for Ludao University!

The remaining 83 groups are equally divided among 38 schools including Fuzhou University, Huaqiao University, Hu Province Normal University, Hu Province Agriculture and Forestry University, and Jimei University.

The strength of Ludao University in Hu Province is evident!

It is absolutely the king of the region. One school beats other schools in the province.

After a while, the defense finally officially began.

After waiting for two hours, Lu Zhou's group was finally called.

The three of them walked into the classroom, where several experts were sitting.

This competition area review expert group is led by Professor Li Yong, dean of the Mathematics Department of Ludao University, and the other review experts are top scholars from the province's mathematics, physics and other fields.

The three of them walked up and Lu Zhou opened the PPT and prepared to start his defense.

Thesis defense is divided into two parts.

The first is the self-report of the thesis, which is ten minutes long. It mainly talks about what kind of problem to solve, how and why to choose this model to solve it, as well as the model calculation details, results and analysis, and finally a summary.

The second one is for the review experts to ask questions, which lasts 8-10 minutes. The review experts will ask several questions, which are not too difficult. They mainly check the authenticity of the paper, whether it was written by yourself, and whether you have a deep understanding of the topic.

An expert said: "Let's start the defense!"

Lu Zhou nodded and began to explain the ppt.

It mainly talks about my own mathematical modeling ideas and the shining points in the paper.

Lu Zhou assisted Zhang Lei in completing the thesis. Lu Zhou was very familiar with the thesis. There were no stuck words in the ten-minute explanation, but he was very fluent.

Several review experts in the audience nodded and began to enter the question period.

Zheng Tianyu stood beside Lu Zhou, his fingers trembling slightly, and he was a little nervous when the experts asked questions.

But he didn't expect that the first question would break his defense!

"Did the instructor have any contact with you during the competition?"

Lu Zhou replied calmly: "No, we answered the whole process ourselves."

Fortunately, the next second expert question returns to the paper.

"How was the model for the third question established?"

Lu Zhou did not hesitate and elaborated in one breath: "Faced with the third question, our model is mainly *\u0026￥##!@#..."

One expert asked: "What method was used to get what result?"

Lu Zhou answered simply.

In the blink of an eye, the review experts asked five questions, and Lu Zhou answered them all fluently.

At the end of the defense, Professor Li Yong, who was the C position, smiled and asked with kindness: "Is this student Lu Zhou in charge of the modeling part?"

"Yes."

"What is Lu Zhou's major?" Professor Li Yong looked at the boy in the middle of the podium with admiration.

Lu Zhou replied: "Electrical engineering."

"Electrical Engineering..."

Upon hearing this answer, several review experts looked at each other, a little dumbfounded.

Among the more than 100 papers, this group is the most amazing, especially the mathematical modeling part is very mature and perfect. Many marking experts believe that the modeler is a math major.

Professor Li Yong thinks so too.

In the fourth round of national discipline evaluation by the Ministry of Education in 2017, Ludao University ranked a total of 7 first-level disciplines in Category A: Marine Science, Applied Economics, Chemistry, Statistics, Business Administration, Law, and Biology.

According to the latest ESI database, a total of 16 disciplines have entered the top 1% of ESI globally, among which chemistry has entered the top 1% of the world.

The subject evaluation of Mathematics at Ludao University is only B+ in China, but it is one of the top 1% subjects in the ESI world. Especially in recent years, under the leadership of Professor Li Yong, both domestic and international rankings have been ranked high. constant increase.

The National Tianyuan Mathematics Southeast Center is located at Ludao University!

The "Higher Education Society Cup", which was the champion of the Mathematical Modeling Competition in 2003 and 2013, was won by Ludao University.

And it is also very good at cultivating talents.

The destinations of Xiamen University’s mathematics undergraduate graduates in 2015: 41 went to graduate school, 55 went to study abroad, and 19 went to graduate school or were directly employed.

The overall admission rate is over 80%.

Among the 55 people studying abroad, 36 went to beautiful countries, including Cornell University, Columbia University, Johns Hopkins University and other world-renowned universities.

From this we can see how good the quality of Ludao University’s mathematics undergraduates is!

But in Professor Li Yong’s mind, comparing Lu Zhou with the students competing at Ludao University this year, the answer is...

Lu Zhou's group's paper is undoubtedly the first!

Then I thought about the other party coming from Guanghua University...

As the head of the mathematics department of a prestigious school that ranks first in the province and among the best in the country, Li Yong can't help but love talents.

It would be a pity for a talent like Lu Zhou to be placed in Guanghua University.

A piece of rough jade will be buried!

But I am already a sophomore, and I will miss time when I transfer to another school. In addition, I can only transfer to the same or lower level of the school.

If you want to transfer from Guanghua University to Ludao University, ahem, it may depend on how powerful the parents of the other party are.

At least it must be a position where you can speak 404.

Changing schools is out of the question, but there are other remedies.

Li Yong came up with a plan and warmly invited Lu Zhou:

"Classmate Lu Zhou, do you want to take the exam for my graduate degree?"

ps: Please give me a reward for the three thousand chapters! Asking for a monthly ticket! !

The first day to fight procrastination! Don’t be stuck updating at 23:59 anymore!
