Mayor Wang is a very busy man. He came over to see Wang Hao during his busy schedule and completed his work tasks.
A large number of leaders and reporters also left, and some teachers who came to watch the fun also went back, and the corridor became quiet again.
Wang Hao also felt a little regretful. Wasn't the bonus awarded on the spot? The result was that he only said it and didn't know when the money would be handed out.
He returned to the office, checked the time, and was in no mood to think about anything else.
It’s time to go to class!
Hurry!
Wang Hao quickly packed up his things and walked quickly towards the teaching building.
In the large classroom on the second floor.
Students from the Department of Computer Science and Technology, majoring in software engineering, are chattering in the classroom, and most of the topics are inseparable from Wang Hao.
"Did you watch the news yesterday? Teacher Wang Hao is so awesome. He completed a very powerful proof related to the distribution of prime numbers. The news said that this is the largest number theory achievement by domestic scholars in decades."
"I also saw it. Teacher Wang Hao is really good now!"
"Didn't he just get promoted to associate professor? Can he be directly promoted to professor?"
"Don't you understand this? There are bonuses for such major achievements. The school will definitely give out a lot of bonuses. And with such big results, it will not be a problem to improve your professional title in the future."
"We are only sophomores this year. When we graduate and go to graduate school, Associate Professor Wang Hao may become Professor Wang Hao. Think about it, how old will he be then? He must be less than thirty."
"It can't be so fast!"
"What's the use of you worrying about this? What I'm most happy about is that Teacher Wang Hao won't come today... Our dormitory watched the news together yesterday and specially spent the night playing games to celebrate Teacher Wang Hao. We are going to continue celebrating this class..."
"I'm going to have a good sleep in probability class and chat with you!"
While the students were still discussing excitedly, the bell had already rang. They were also curious about who would take over the class, and a familiar figure appeared at the door.
He was dressed casually, looking no different from a student, with a calm smile on his face, and even a bit of urgency in his eyes.
If you meet his eyes, you can feel that the other person seems to miss you...
In an instant, the classroom became quiet.
Everyone stared blankly at the figure at the door. A few students who were sleeping on the table felt the quiet environment and seemed to notice something was wrong. They raised their heads and took a look, and immediately sat upright despite the fatigue all over their bodies.
At the same time, I sighed in my heart, "Why! Why! Why on earth is this!"
"Yesterday's meeting just ended. Today, Teacher Wang Hao traveled thousands of kilometers and came back to give us a special lesson!"
"This is so dedicated!"
They didn't know that just half an hour ago, Wang Hao was still chatting with the mayor, principal, dean and other leaders, otherwise the emotion in his heart would probably have more than doubled.
Attend class!
A new day, new course content.
Wang Hao walked to the podium, faced the students in the classroom, and said with a smile on his face, "Everyone, please pay attention to the classroom disciplines. Several students in the back row, I just came in and saw you lying on the table sleeping. If you
I’m really sleepy, let me give you a good suggestion..."
"Stand up and listen!"
Several people in the back row immediately waved their hands to show that they were not sleepy at all, and then pointed their fingers at the podium with red eyes.
"very good!"
Wang Hao saw that several people were excited again and started the class, "The content of this class is continuous random variables and discrete random variables."
"For continuous random variables, we study its probability density. For discrete random variables, we study its probability distribution."
"Because discrete random variables are more difficult, our course only requires mastering one formula..."
Wang Hao turned back to the blackboard and wrote a formula——
P(X=xi)=pi,i=1,2,3,…n…
The course has officially entered a rhythm.
The students in the classroom found that nothing had changed. Even though Wang Hao appeared in the news and his great achievements appeared, there was still no change in the course itself.
Wang Hao came to class on time. At the same time, his requirements for the course were still very high, and he even seemed to be more strict.
Those students who actively participated in the class did not feel anything. They just felt that Wang Hao's lectures were very serious and the level of lectures was very high, making it easy for them to understand.
Those students who didn't like studying, especially those in the back row who were so groggy that they could fall asleep just by lowering their heads, seemed to have experienced nightmare-like torture.
They all cheered up and pretended to listen to the lecture, but if they didn't listen carefully, they didn't listen seriously.
Wang Hao kept asking them to answer questions. If they didn't answer, he simply refused to let them sit down again. They also sensibly did not take the initiative to sit down.
This is just the beginning.
Even though they were standing all the time listening to the class, they were still being asked and asked questions. Later, when the scary teacher had time, he would stand behind them and it was impossible for them not to listen carefully.
Facing such a responsible teacher, they were almost moved to tears.
Finally the class is over.
The torture is over.
When the lovely and respectable teacher left the classroom, they all watched each other leave without moving their eyes or even blinking.
"Huh~~"
"This guy finally left. He made me stand for a whole class. Does it count as corporal punishment?"
"I think you can report it to the Academic Affairs Office. I heard that a physics student reported him last year."
"Then what?"
"I heard that the student from the Department of Physics was so bad that he posted a thread on the forum, suggesting that everyone not to take the elective courses he offered. Then he took the elective courses he offered. This matter has spread. You can check it out on the campus forum.
You’ll know just by reading the post.”
"What kind of reversal is this? I mean, is the teacher affected?"
"Of course not. Think about it, Teacher Wang Hao has just completed a big math achievement, and you are just an ordinary student. If you report it... I guess the Academic Affairs Office will not give you a good look, and they might arrest you.
If I take advantage of you, I will give you a demerit..."
"Ah... this world is so dark!"
…
Wang Hao doesn't care what the students think of him, as long as the students listen carefully to the class and study hard.
After completing the course, he checked on the progress of his new assignment.
【Task 2】
[Research Project Name: New Mersenne Prime Testing Algorithm (Difficulty: A).]
[Inspiration value: 2.]
"Only two points of inspiration?" Wang Hao was somewhat mentally prepared, because there were indeed very few additional ideas in his mind, but having only two points still seemed too pitiful.
The "New Mersenne Prime Testing Algorithm" is not S-level in difficulty. The research difficulty of the algorithm is relatively low, but only "two points" are still too few.
"It should be related to relevance. The correlation between course content and research and development is very low."
"If you want to quickly increase your inspiration value, you still need to read some relevant knowledge content, and the teaching must also be relevant." Wang Hao went to the faculty cafeteria with his thoughts and ordered a bowl of fragrant beef noodles with a few small noodles.
Cold dishes, when walking back with the dinner plate, I happened to see Zhou Qingyuan.
Zhou Qingyuan waved his hands and shouted, "Wang Hao, this way."
Wang Hao passed by carrying the dinner plate.
The two of them eat together.
When Zhou Qingyuan talked about Wang Hao's latest research, his eyes looked a little complicated. He knew that when Wang Hao was studying the prime number problem, he wanted to persuade him to "turn back and make the best of it."
As a result, how long has passed?
Before he could find a chance to 'persuad', Wang Hao had already completed his research.
"What a genius!"
Zhou Qingyuan had emotion written all over his face. He had always thought that Wang Hao was a genius, but he only thought that Wang Hao was no worse than him. He was doing research and development steadily, and if he could accumulate achievements and qualifications in his thirties, he would have no problem becoming a professor.
Yeah, I never thought that a genius could reach this level.
Not just geniuses, they can all be described as 'monsters'.
He felt that he could no longer give guidance to Wang Hao in the field of mathematics, and might even need the other party to give guidance in turn.
He knew that if he worked hard all his life on that kind of simple yet extremely complex number theory research, he would never make any progress that he could tell, let alone any world-class results.
"Alas~~"
Zhou Qingyuan let out a complicated sigh. He didn't know whether he was sighing for Wang Hao or feeling sad for his own 'mediocrity', but he still got back to the topic, "Wang Hao, there is something I want to tell you.
"
"You said." Wang Hao still respected Zhou Qingyuan very much.
"The school, for your new achievements, held a small meeting and talked about the issue of professional titles. What I can confirm next summer is that you will be promoted to the first level. In fact, I suggested that you be promoted now, but the school has
According to the school's rules, it is difficult to make promotions during the semester. After some discussion, we decided to wait until next summer."
"Well, I can understand that." Wang Hao nodded and said. He actually didn't care whether he was promoted or not. If he was promoted from one to five associate professors, or even directly to full professor, he would still get the current salary.
The biggest advantage of the rating is that it will become easier to apply for projects, but he does not need to apply for any big projects, and with the current results, applying for related projects is not a big problem.
There is an upper limit to the promotion of teaching titles. It is also very difficult to be promoted to full professor quickly, and it is also very difficult to go up further.
This has no impact.
Zhou Qingyuan hesitated for a long time before finally speaking, "I still want to ask you, have you ever thought about leaving?"
Wang Hao was suddenly surprised, "Why do you say that?"
Zhou Qingyuan said, "I am considering this for you. In terms of studying academics and mathematics, the best development is actually to go abroad, such as the most attractive Princeton University."
"If you don't have the experience of studying abroad, you may not know why so many domestic scholars go abroad to do research? There are reasons. One is that the treatment abroad is good and the salary is high. Foreign countries also pay more attention to scientific research, especially basic research.
For theoretical research and development, the environment abroad is much better.”
"If you go to a foreign university, your salary will be several times higher, and it will be easier to apply for funding and sponsorship. No one will care about you even if you spend all the funds on personal expenses."
"If you can produce results, such as your current results, you can be directly promoted. If you are in a foreign university, your current results are enough to be appointed as a tenured professor at the university."
Zhou Qingyuan continued, "In addition, a very important point is that the environment of top universities is better. You will have many excellent colleagues who can do research together, unlike now..."
Wang Hao listened patiently and had to admit that what Zhou Qingyuan said made sense, but he was not moved at all.
go abroad?
What a joke!
The research and development he does now does not rely on his own step-by-step exploration, but mostly relies on the knowledge and ideas given by teaching, as well as reading books and doing research on his own.
The high salary in foreign universities is indeed attractive, but he does not make money from salary. In just a few months, he has earned more than 7 million through research and development, lectures, etc., and he can still have 4 million left after filing his personal tax.
There is still a high probability of one million tax-free bonuses that have not been paid out. No matter how high the salary abroad is, there will never be so much.
Money is indeed very attractive, but even in China, because he can always achieve results, he will not make much less.
After putting aside the factor of money, in terms of scientific research, at least for now, the demand for funds is not high, or even non-existent, because doing mathematics and algorithm research does not have a large expenditure on research and development expenses.
Therefore, the funding is also unattractive.
In terms of teaching, the students' level is high and they can feed back more knowledge, but knowledge is only the basics, and research and development mainly relies on inspiration.
Knowledge will reach its peak sooner or later.
Things like "colleagues with high standards" are equally unattractive. Discussing issues with top scholars will indeed bring inspiration, but most of them are still based on knowledge rather than "research and development direction".
The school is of high standard and the colleagues are of high standard, so it is attractive to a certain extent, but overall it is better to stay.
Xihai University is an ordinary key university. Whether it is teachers, scientific research, or student resources, it is not ranked first in the country. But firstly, he is already familiar with the environment and does not want to suddenly change the environment. Secondly, there are various factors in the university.
We can give him as much support as possible.
For example, in teaching.
Judging from the achievements he has made, he is a star at Xihai University and can "select courses to teach" at will. However, it is different at top universities at home and abroad. In an environment where geniuses gather, he will not be anything special.
treatment.
Wang Hao listened patiently to what Zhou Qingyuan said, and then said seriously, "Professor Zhou, thank you, thank you very much. You are considering everything for me, but I have not considered leaving."
"It is indeed very good abroad, and some domestic universities are also very good, but the most suitable one is the best. I like Xihai University very much, the environment here, my colleagues and students, it is very good here, I don't
It will cause money, expenses, or other reasons to leave.”
He spoke in a more humorous tone, "I'm still thinking about letting Xihai University's School of Science take first place among universities!"
Zhou Qingyuan was stunned for a moment, then he couldn't help but point his finger at Wang Hao and laughed, "Xihai University, No. 1 in the School of Science? You really dare to think."
"People just have to have dreams!"
"Okay, okay, okay..."
Zhou Qingyuan smiled and shook his head, "Actually, I definitely want you to stay. Since you said so, I won't worry about it."
…
After having a meal with Zhou Qingyuan, Wang Hao still felt very good.
Zhou Qingyuan's suggestion was a bit surprising, but it felt like he cared about himself, and it felt really good to be cared about.
After returning to the office in the complex building, Wang Hao went back to work.
All the previous papers on partial differential equations have been sorted out and submitted, but there is also a paper on computer science that has not been sorted out.
In addition, "Valid and Irrelevant Carry Algorithms" has been invited to be published by the "Communications of the Computer Society" and was settled after the meeting.
"Communications of the Computer Society" is an academic journal under the International Computer Society and one of the three top computer journals in the world. The computer conference held in Zhucheng was initiated by the International Computer Society. Two "Communications of the Computer Society" were included in the review.
As long as the review editor submits the paper, it will be published.
Don’t worry about the paper “Boundedness of the Existence of Atting’s Constant”. The four top mathematics journals, “New Advances in Mathematics” and “Journal of Mathematics,” have sent emails to invite you to publish it.
Wang Hao is considering which journal to publish in. "Acta Mathematica" is more difficult to publish, but it will take a long time to wait for the next issue. "New Advances in Mathematics" is a monthly magazine. If you submit an article, you can jump in and get published directly, and you will have to wait for the first half of the period.
A month is almost enough.
In the end, he thought about it and voted for "New Advances in Mathematics".
The four major mathematics journals cannot just invest in one. Maybe next time they should be replaced by "Annals of Mathematics" or "Journal of the Amerikan Mathematical Society"?
Round after round, no one is left behind... not bad!
Wang Hao still attaches great importance to the submission of two top-level results. He is also thinking about whether he can win the school's wool, for example, "The Boundedness of the Existence of Arting's Constant", which won a 1 million scientific research bonus from the city.
After submitting your article to the top journal, maybe you can get another 500,000 school subsidy?
Top issue, there is a subsidy!
This is the school's reward for publishing a paper, so you should get the money you deserve.
"Let's continue writing the paper!" Wang Hao thought about the issue of 'subsidy' for a long time, but decided not to waste time.
Hurry up and write your paper!
You can make more money with papers.
Zhang Zhiqiang returned to the office after class. As soon as he sat down in his seat, he saw Wang Hao immersed in typing a paper. He suddenly said a little sourly, "Wang Hao, you are really good. You have just achieved a big result and received a million bonus.
I will continue writing my paper in the afternoon..."
"I see on the Internet that they always say 'involution', 'involution'. You are too involved. What do you want us to do?"
The others nodded in sympathy.
Wang Hao laughed and said, "I'm not involving others. We don't compete. Besides, I just remember my previous thoughts."
Zhang Zhiqiang tugged at the corner of his mouth, "The problem is, you always have new ideas." After finishing speaking, he added, "Every day."
He looked at the computer screen again and saw a lot of complicated codes, but he just couldn't figure out how to solve the research and development problems, so he couldn't help but sigh bitterly.
There is no comparison between people!
After Wang Hao finished writing something, he thought for a while and suddenly asked Zhang Zhiqiang, "Brother Zhang, please stop scratching your head. I have a question for you."
"Do you still have questions to ask me?" Zhang Zhiqiang suddenly became energetic. Wang Hao rarely had questions.
"Do you know GIMPS? Look for Mersenne prime numbers. I don't know which installation package this system is suitable for. I remember you downloaded it."
"Prime? I checked it this morning. It seems that it has been upgraded to version 30. Let me show it to you." Zhang Zhiqiang went to Wang Hao's computer, opened the GIMPS main site and operated it. He clicked on several pages to find an installation link.
Bao, "This should be enough."
After the installation package is downloaded, first debug the computer and register as a personal user. After everything runs normally, just minimize the hang.
"That'll be fine?"
"No problem."
What they said was to 'join the GIMPS system to search for Mersenne prime numbers', just like what Patrick Roche did. The method is very simple. Anyone who is interested can participate from anywhere in the world.
First, log in to the GIMPS website to download the installation package suitable for the operating system, then register and log in personally, run the corresponding execution program, and then wait as little as possible.
This is the GIMPS system.
The full name of GIMPS is Great-Internet-Mersenne-Prime-Search (Great Internet Mersenne Prime Search Activity). Only computers with Internet access can join in. After opening the corresponding program, it will be assigned computing tasks and use the computer's processing
Functions are automatically calculated.
If you are very, very, very lucky, you can find the next Mersenne prime and win a $100,000 prize.
Of course, what Wang Hao is interested in is not how to participate in GIMPS. He is just doing relevant research, so he just logs in and has a look.
He reopened the program, studied it carefully, and found the custom entry.
If you do not set it up, the calculation will randomly assign numbers for verification, but you can set up customized calculations, or you can use the system to maximize its computing power to perform stress testing on the system.
Zhang Zhiqiang looked on with interest and asked, "Do you have any idea of studying Mersenne prime numbers? Finding this is really harder than winning the lottery."
Wang Haodao, "By the way, I didn't tell you, do you know who I saw in Lecture Hall No. 2? You will definitely not guess it. Special reminder, it is related to Mersenne prime numbers."
"——?"
Zhang Zhiqiang thought about it carefully, but still couldn't figure out the answer.
Wang Hao opened the GIMPS webpage and scrolled down to find a name, "That's him."
"Patrick Roche?" Zhang Zhiqiang shouted in surprise, "This lucky guy who looks like he stepped on a few tons of dog shit? Did he also go to the meeting?"
"Yes, he also suggested that I use the effective and irrelevant carry algorithm to find Mersenne prime numbers. I think his suggestion is very good and I am considering studying it."
"real?"
"Can it still be fake?"
Zhang Zhiqiang nodded vigorously, "I believe you, Wang Hao, no, Brother Wang, you are my brother. If you really develop a calculation method that can increase the number by thousands or tens of thousands of times, you must tell me first. I
Use the laboratory's server with full firepower..."
"I will definitely get the next $100,000 bonus and let my name hang on GIMPS for people to admire!"
"..."
Wang Hao grinned hard and said, "Even if I research it, it won't be possible to embed it into the Prime software?"
Zhang Zhiqiang thought about it carefully and walked back full of disappointment, "It's okay then."
There are a bit too many words in this chapter. I wrote it a bit slowly and didn't make it to publish before 12 o'clock. Sorry.
