From university academician to chief academician

September 4, 2023, Monday, the first day of school!

Today is Ye Fei's first day of class, and the class is the first class in the afternoon.

He had been preparing lessons since two days ago. After preparing lessons, he practiced alone for about an hour.

Think of all the possible scenarios in your mind.

After all, this was his first time giving a lecture, so he made every preparation to ensure perfection.

Moreover, this is related to his scientific research.

The system's second ability, open-mindedness, requires others to listen carefully to his lectures in order to gain inspiration.

Therefore, in order to make students listen carefully to his lectures, he summed up his experience.

Try to explain the problem thoroughly and in detail.

No matter how complex the question is, it must be understood by students with poor foundation.

It’s not enough to explain it thoroughly and meticulously, but it also needs to be interesting.

Students are not academics. Even if the content is boring, as long as it is helpful to their knowledge, they will listen attentively.

But students don’t.

If the content of the lecture is boring, some students will not like to listen to it.

You may endure listening to it for more than ten minutes, but after ten minutes you will become distracted.

Afternoon, 13:50, Room 303, Southeast Building!

"I heard that the teacher who came to teach me today is very famous." Yang Shuo said to the roommate next to him.

All the students in this classroom are freshmen in the mathematics department, and today is the first day of class.

Roommate Li Xu asked doubtfully: "How do you know?"

They are all new students and are unfamiliar with the school and teachers.

Logically speaking, Yang Shuo shouldn't know this.

Yang Shuo picked up the bangs on her forehead and said, "I did my homework before I came here."

"Let me give you some popular science, our teacher."

The students around him heard what he said, and they all pricked up their ears to listen.

Chinese people are accustomed to listening to gossip.

Yang Shuo said: "His name is Ye Fei, he is 23 years old..."

"Only 23 years old?" Li Xu exclaimed, "Is he so young?"

Yang Shuo said: "Don't make any noise, just listen to what I have to say. He just graduated from the Ph.D. and was hired as a lecturer by the school."

"That's not right!" Li Xu said doubtfully: "Shouldn't he be a teaching assistant just after graduating from a Ph.D.? If he goes to some non-double first-class universities, he might be a lecturer, but we are a 985 university!"

"Even if you have a PhD, you should work for two years before you can apply for a lectureship."

The students around him nodded. Yes, you can only apply for a lecturer after working for two years.

"It also depends on ability!" Yang Shuo said: "But our teacher's ability is not simple. He completed his graduate studies in one year and his doctoral degree in one year."

“During graduate school, I proved singular cardinal numbers, minimal towers, and Turing equivalence, and created graph computing methods with Turing equivalence, changing the entire algorithm era.”

“These questions all prove the continuum hypothesis.”

"In my estimation, he will eventually prove the continuum hypothesis, maybe within two years, maybe within five years, but definitely not more than ten years."

He looked around and saw that many of his classmates were confused. After all, they were freshmen and had only been in college for half a day.

I don’t understand anything about strange cardinal numbers or minimal towers.

"You may not understand this, but Hilbert knows it!"

Everyone nodded. Hilbert was so famous. Many people who didn't study mathematics knew him.

"Do you know Hilbert's 23 questions?"

Everyone nodded again. Hilbert is most famous for Hilbert's 23 questions.

"Hilbert's first problem was the continuum hypothesis."

Everyone finally nodded in realization.

If it were other questions, they might not know, but with Hilbert's 23 questions, they would understand.

Whoever can prove a problem will become famous in the mathematics community.

Everyone was amazed. Although our teacher has not proved the continuum hypothesis, he is still very powerful.

No wonder I became a lecturer after completing my PhD.

The school also provides food based on ability. Other PhD students certainly don't get this kind of treatment.

Ye Fei hasn't come yet, but he has already formed an initial impression in their minds.

genius!

They all came in with excellent results, and they are full of admiration for such geniuses.

After listening to Yang Shuo's words, everyone began to look forward to Ye Fei's arrival.

Ye Fei carried his computer bag and walked slowly to the classroom, preparing lessons in his mind.

"Vivid, interesting, detailed..."

At one fifty-eight, he entered the classroom.

When he entered the classroom, he suddenly found that everyone looked at him strangely.

Ye Fei was confused: "Did I go to the wrong classroom?"

He exited the classroom again and glanced at the house number.

Then he took out his mobile phone, checked the class address, and thought to himself: "Yes, it is indeed Room 303, Southeast Building."

He stepped in again, walked to the podium, took out the computer from the computer bag, and connected it to the projector in the classroom.

Ye Fei said: "Hello everyone, I am Ye Fei, and Ye is the leaf of the leaf, which means right and wrong."

After saying that, Ye Fei wrote his name on the blackboard and said, "I will give you a number theory class this semester."

"Sure enough, it's him!" Many students exclaimed: "He's really young!"

They are envious in their hearts. If they could achieve this at the age of 23, they would laugh to death in the middle of the night.

But then I thought about it, what are I thinking about? I am 23 years old and have not yet graduated with a master's degree.

Hmm...the goal is to take a longer view, maybe 28 years old. If you can achieve this result at 28 years old, you will laugh to death in the middle of the night.

Ye Feidao: "Let's start the roll call, and those who are called will raise their hands to speak."

"Li Yue!"

"arrive!"

"..."

"Yang Shuo!"

"arrive!"

"..."

"Okay, everyone is here, let's start the lecture."

"Number theory is the study of integer sequence..."

Seeing that many students were listening attentively, Ye Fei nodded secretly: "My method is indeed right. The lectures must not only be detailed, but also vivid."

Ye Fei's teaching method is very interesting. In order to make the lecture content interesting, he creates some short stories for each content.

"But we still have to prevent some students from making small moves."

Ye Fei also came from a student background, in his impression.

Even among 985 University students, there are many students who desert from class.

Things like talking in class and being distracted are all basic operations.

There are also playing with mobile phones, reading novels, and sleeping in class.

"This is a very good explanation. I understand it." Many students said to themselves: "Moreover, Teacher Ye cited classics and told them stories one by one, which was very interesting."

"If I had met a teacher like this before, learning mathematics wouldn't be so difficult."

"Mom is no longer afraid that I won't be good at math."

At this time, Ye Fei saw Dean Xiao, the dean of the School of Mathematics, and his tutor, Professor Lu Yishan, walking in from the back door and sitting in the last row.

Lu Yishan nodded slightly to Ye Fei with a smile.

Ye Fei also nodded as a greeting and continued class.

After listening for a while, Dean Xiao whispered to Lu Yishan next to him: "This Ye Fei is good for class. He talks so carefully and thoroughly, it's quite interesting."

"Yes!" Lu Yishan nodded approvingly, and he was relieved. He was worried that Ye Fei would not do well in class on the first day, so he came to listen to Ye Fei's lectures and thought of giving some to Ye Fei after class. guide.

But listening now, I don’t need my own guidance at all.

After Dean Xiao and Lu Yishan listened for a while, they left quietly.

After class, Ye Fei checked the inspiration in his mind and felt excited: "Not bad, I got some inspiration."

"After the system upgrade, the humility gained is much stronger than the comprehensive knowledge, which makes it easier for me to do research."

"But you must cooperate with the class, and those who listen to my class must also listen carefully. Only in this way can you maximize the use of your ability to be open-minded."

"If you want to listen carefully in class, tough methods will definitely not work."

"Restricting students with rules will make them listen to the class on the surface, but they are thinking about other things in their minds."

"You are not a god, so you don't know what they think."

"So only if the class content is interesting can they make them listen carefully."

"Their thoughts will also follow the content of my lectures, so that I can get more inspiration."
