I really just want to be a scholar

Chapter 450 The Coming Qiu Sai

Qiu competition is usually registered in December every year, and starts in late March of the second year.

It is divided into individual competition and team competition. There are six subjects in the individual competition, namely geometry and topology, algebra and number theory, probability and statistics, applied and computational mathematics, analysis and partial differential equations, and mathematical physics. Each participant can Report six subjects, at least one subject.

The team competition is a bit different from the individual competition. It requires five people from the same school to participate in a team. There are five subjects, namely geometry and topology, algebra and number theory, probability and statistics, applied and computational mathematics, analysis and partial differential equations, Each team member can only be responsible for one subject, and must sign up for the corresponding subject in the individual competition.The total score of the final team competition is obtained from the sum of the results of the corresponding subjects in the individual competition of the five players and ranked.

In terms of the specific schedule, there is no so-called preliminary competition in Qiusai. All the students who have registered and passed the review will participate in the semi-finals together, and then the top 1 students in each subject will be selected to participate in the finals.

This year's semi-finals are on March 3 and March 23, which happens to be Thursday and Friday. Each subject takes two and a half hours, three subjects a day, from 3:24 in the morning to 9:30 in the evening. If you want to take the test After completing the six subjects, the physical and mental consumption is undoubtedly huge.

The finals are in the form of interviews.

It is worth mentioning that, whether it is the semi-final written test or the final interview, the whole process must be answered in English. Qiu Sai is very unfriendly to those English scumbags who are partial to subjects, especially the top math students who are recommended by competitions of……

"Qiu Sai's rules are the ones I mentioned above, which are similar to the information I showed you last time." Director Wei Yuanfu came over in person. In addition to sending the admission ticket and explaining the precautions, he also provided an analysis of the competition situation:
"Currently, the subject with the least number of applicants is 'Mathematical Physics'. This is a new sub-subject that has only been added in the past three years. There are few reference materials. Many students are waiting and watching. The subject with the largest number of applicants is 'Analysis and Partial Differential Equations.' ', 'Algebra and Number Theory', the competition of these two subjects is still fierce, because over the years, there are the most tutoring materials and reference materials for these two subjects, and the research is the most in-depth, and the number of students who sign up is also the most, but only the former Around 15 will qualify for the finals."

The reason why it is said to be "about the top 15" is because the number of finalists in each subject is not fixed, generally between 13 and 17, and is dynamically adjusted according to the specific results of each subject to maintain the finalists for the finals The number of people does not exceed the scale of 100 people.

"This is the admission ticket for the two of you. Qin Ke has registered for all six subjects, and Ning Qingyun has reported for 'Analysis and Differential Equations', 'Geometry and Topology', and 'Algebra and Number Theory'. Please check again. "

Qin Ke took a look at it, and said with a smile: "Director Wei personally sent us the admission tickets. It's a lot of pressure. If you can't get the top two in each subject, Ning Qingyun and I are embarrassed to see you."

Wei Yuanfu waved his hand: "What are you talking about? It's strange that the two of you couldn't get the No. A group of top students from the whole school were carefully selected for a three-month special training in advance, but I still believe that you are better. Our Qingmu University's results in the Qiu competition over the years are not impressive enough. All the students in the department I hope you two do well, let's take a hard look at it."

Wei Yuanfu's expression became a bit more murderous when mentioning the famous schools whose mathematics level has suppressed Qingmu University for a long time. It is obvious that he has been aggrieved all these years.

In fact, this is indeed the case. Qingmu University is good at engineering, but it has not been able to rank among the top in science, especially in mathematics. "The Department of Mathematics of Qingmu University is a head shorter than others in terms of level, and the results obtained in the Qiu competition over the years are even worse than those of Yanda University, Xia Ke University, Nantah University and so on.

In fact, when it comes to Qiu Sai, its influence is still not as good as that of the Mathematical Modeling Competition. Even if it wins the individual all-around gold medal, the honor it brings to the school is far from being comparable to the Xiaguo Chen Xingshen Mathematical Award.

The problem is that the Qiu competition was initiated by Qingmu University and Mr. Qiu. It was named after Mr. Qiu. It is a large-scale mathematics competition for all colleges and universities in the country. In the competition hosted by itself, it was suppressed by other schools. Lose face.

However, the improvement of the level of mathematics is not a matter of one or two years. It is related to education and the source of students. After all, mathematics is the most talented subject.

The Department of Mathematics of Qingmu University has been suppressed for many years, so that the best mathematics students are snatched away by Yanda University, Xia Ke University, Aurora, etc., one goes up and down, even if Mr. Qiu returns to China to join in, how can he easily reverse the disadvantage ?

It wasn't until last year that Qingmu University recruited Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun, two top mathematics geniuses because of Vice President Gu's decisive move, that the Department of Mathematics finally saw the hope of rising. Let the arrogance of the opponents make the Department of Mathematics of Kiyoki University rank among the top ranks?
Qin Ke said with a smile: "Director Wei, don't worry, since the school wants us to play, we must go all out."

When I went to see Vice President Gu Bojun last time, President Gu also mentioned the matter of Qiu Sai. Qin Ke knew that this competition was of extraordinary significance, whether it was for the honor of the school or for the systematic "achievements that make me improve" academic point rewards , he intends to go all out.

Seeing the serious look in his eyes, Wei Yuanfu was finally completely relieved.

Wei Yuanfu is full of confidence in Qin Ke, a super genius who beat college students all over the country in the live broadcast of mathematics in high school. The only worry is that Qin Ke doesn't pay much attention to this Qiu competition, and there will be some careless mistakes and omissions when answering the questions. Now that Qin Ke said that he would go all out, he directly reduced the extremely low probability of failing the test to 0.

Of course, what made Wei Yuanfu most comfortable was Qin Ke's humble attitude, which made Wei Yuanfu not accustomed to apologizing to his students. He felt particularly comfortable, and even looked at Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun more and more. The appreciation and kindness of the post: "Then I will wait and see. In addition, in the team competition, the school has arranged three junior and senior seniors to compete with you. Is it okay? Or do you have any candidates to recommend?"

"Can you show me the list of contestants in our school?"

"Of course no problem." Director Wei Yuanfu handed the list he had prepared to Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun.

This time, Qingmu University arranged for more than 100 top mathematics students to participate in the competition, and they were divided into nearly 22 teams. Some of them have volunteered to form teams, and some of them have not got enough numbers. The school will arrange and arrange the teams.

Qin Ke accidentally discovered that students from the Department of Physics, Chemistry, and even some mechanical engineering majors also signed up for the competition. It is estimated that the school screened out top students with specialties in mathematics to challenge.

Qin Ke remembered that many people in the class had signed up, and sure enough, after looking through it, he saw a few acquaintances, such as Jiang Zhenjie, a fat boy from Chaoshan in the same dormitory, and Ximenhui, who had the second best grade in Ning Qingyun's dormitory.

Hua Manting fell in love, and Li Xiangxue was obsessed with physics, but he didn't sign up for this competition.

Qin Ke turned his head and asked Ning Qingyun: "Ximen Hui also signed up for Qiu Sai?"

Ximenhui is also in the basic science class. Qin Ke is not very familiar with her, but he knows that this is a girl who is a little cautious and unwilling to be inferior. The final exam results this time are also good, and the average grade point ranks fifth in the basic science class.

"Yes, she only reported 'Analysis and Partial Differential Equations', and she has already completed 'Advanced Calculus' by herself."

Qin Ke noticed that Ning Qingjun's tone was quite friendly when he mentioned Ximenhui, so he made a decision and said, "Then Director Wei, I want Jiang Zhenjie and Ximenhui to be on our team. You can arrange the fifth student."

"No problem." In fact, Wei Yuanfu hoped that Qin Ke would choose some top students in the mathematics department who were juniors and seniors, so that it would be more likely to win the first place in the team competition, but when Qin Ke opened his mouth, he did not hesitate Then he agreed.

After all, Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun won the all-around gold medal in the individual competition, and Wei Yuanfu was enough to confess to his superiors, and the team competition was just the icing on the cake.

He also knew in his heart that Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun accounted for 2/5 of the team's scores. Even if they got perfect marks in two subjects, it would be difficult to lead the whole team. After all, the average strength of Yanda University and Xia Ke University in mathematics outperformed.

Qin Ke called Fatty Jiang, and Ning Qingyun also called Ximenhui. After communicating, both of them were very happy to be with Qin Kening and Qingyun. Jiang Zhenjie chose "Probability and Statistics", and Ximenhui chose "Analysis and Bias Differential Equations".

Director Wei pondered for a while on the list, and selected a senior boy named Gan Zhihang, who had won the national first year in the mathematical modeling competition, and his level was quite good. He was in charge of "Applied and Computational Mathematics", so Qin Ke automatically took charge of the last remaining subject "Geometry and Topology".

After discussing the matter of Qiu Sai, Wei Yuanfu didn't say any nonsense such as telling the two to review more, but just said, "Now you two are also members of our mathematics department, so you should come to our department more often if you have time." " and other polite words, he left with a smile.

Just after sending off Director Wei, Professor Hu Qingfeng came to visit again.

Lao Hu always went to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing. The last time he came here, he came here to deliver a check of 50 in person. He was full of sincerity and integrity, which made Qin Ke have a very good impression of him.

So Qin Ke welcomed Lao Hu's arrival, and Lao Hu really brought good news.

"Qin Ke, you said that you are more interested in the subject of fluid mechanics. I don't have any new related subjects for the time being, but I have an old friend who is a laboratory under the Ocean Engineering Science and Technology Research Center of the Xia Ke Academy. The person in charge, this laboratory mainly studies the direction of fluid-solid interaction mechanics, oh, have you heard of fluid-solid interaction mechanics?"
