"Hello everyone, I am Professor Hills, and I will be in charge of your courses related to algorithms and principles."
Professor Hills, who basically didn't have much hair, stood on the podium and looked at the people in the audience and said.
After yesterday's fun and getting to know each other.
On May 25th, Eastern Time, Su Xiaomu and a group of people who came from all over the world to study at MIT finally started formal courses.
Looking at the professor standing on the stage, Su Xiaomu thought of his performance in that position yesterday.
wrong……
It should be said that it was a sign of being forced to stand up.
Overall, he is quite shy.
Not as arrogant as the closing ceremony of the acm-icpc finals.
The main reason is that I am not proactive enough.
I don’t even want to talk about 64kintro.
Instead, I took the initiative to mention Tissoke.com.
This is the love for a silly son, very deep.
As for whether the traffic will increase, Su Xiaomu actually has no hope.
The cultural differences between China and the West are quite big.
In addition, Saoke.com does not provide automatic language translation services.
Even common Chinese is translated into common English.
Even if it is two languages that Su Xiaomu is proficient in.
But Su Xiaomu still didn't do this operation.
Translation software, to be honest, is not easy.
On the other hand, if foreign users don't mind, they can automatically translate through a translation plug-in such as translate that comes with the web page.
The accuracy is very low.
Another thing is that there are not many people in this group that Su Xiaomu joined.
For today's Saoke.com, the traffic brought by dozens of people is negligible...
Professor Hills on the stage continued with a smile.
"First of all, I regret to tell you that there are no specially prescribed teaching contents and lesson plans for the following classes..."
"That is to say, the orientation course I am responsible for does not have many rules..."
"I think everyone can understand it, right?"
At the end of the sentence, Professor Hills stroked his thinning hair and laughed.
There were many voices with "complaints" in the audience.
"Professor, are you so irresponsible!"
"Oh my god, my head hurts!"
"Fortunately, this round of courses is not compulsory for us."
"Speaking of it, this process also helps us touch on content outside the normal curriculum, which is not necessarily a bad thing."
"I like the wild and unconstrained style!"
Some people complain on the outside but are happy on the inside, while others are the same on the outside.
In fact, this teaching method is to take care of people like Su Xiaomu who come to exchange and learn.
Of course, original students will also be taken into consideration.
This part sacrifices some students from the original course.
Because MIT’s semester system is actually more accommodating to exchange learning.1
To be honest, this exchange is extra different. Whether it is South China Institute of Technology or MIT, the extension of the timeline may be some kind of new attempt.
Su Xiaomu just listened silently.
It doesn’t matter whether it’s wild and unrestrained or anything else, as long as there is an exchange of knowledge, it’s good.
Su Xiaomu never thought that he knew everything.
It's like he still doesn't understand why there is a small garbage system?
What is the origin of this mentally retarded thing?
How do you hide it inside your beautiful brain?
I don’t know if CT or MRI can show it?
Professor Hills did not talk too much nonsense. After a brief introduction, the formal teaching began.
"Okay, let's officially start teaching."
Professor Hills took out the whiteboard pen and wrote an English word on the whiteboard:
algorithms!
algorithm.
"As we all know, the importance of algorithms is becoming more and more important day by day. There is a layman's saying that if you master the algorithm, you will master the future."
Hills said calmly.
"In my opinion, this layman's statement is very reasonable."
As he spoke, Professor Hills wrote the second line of words on the whiteboard.
artificialintelligene!
AI.
"Everyone knows that the csail laboratory, the largest laboratory in our school, has conducted very in-depth research in the field of artificial intelligence. There is even news that artificial intelligence technology can be used to predict the future 1.5 seconds in the future."
"..."
“Artificial intelligence is also inseparable from algorithms!”
Hills said eloquently.
It is obvious that we are taking into account exchange students from all over the world.
Because Hills doesn’t know how many people here have heard about the relevant news, and what the real level is.
To know……
These days, exchange studies or studying abroad often don’t look at grades, but at tickets.
Even MIT is no exception.
After using a few keywords to focus the audience's attention and connect everyone's interests, Hills easily talked about some algorithms and principles.
Su Xiaomu, Yi Ran, and Chen Jiming didn't have any extra discomfort.
because……
When I was at South China University of Technology, in principle, all professional courses must be taught in English.
So first of all, there is no language barrier.
And there are areas that require getting used to.
only……
Everyone underestimated Hills' explanations before class.
Because, when the course was about a third of the way, Hills' style of painting suddenly changed.
After stroking his sparse hair out of habit, Hills suddenly said: "Okay, now I will give you an algorithm problem to solve a classic problem."
"Definitely not ones that can be seen on the Internet."
Saying that, Hills smiled mysteriously.
"I think everyone here must have heard of acm-icpc. The difficulty is almost the same as the finals."
"Everyone can brainstorm ideas."
"Try to solve this practical problem before get out of class ends, and become friends with the algorithm directly and simply."
Hills said while operating a portable teaching notebook.
Soon, everyone saw the algorithm problem projected on the big screen.
"In the future, the questions in the course will be sent to everyone's portable notebook." Hills explained.
This is normal operation.
Today's is an extra operation.
"Oh my God! What kind of complexity problem is this?"
"Knight's Travels??? Is this a familiar name again?"
"It's a pity that it's new content."
"a bit difficult."
"I won't!"
Hills said casually: "You can speak out any ideas you have. Knowledge comes from exchanges."
Louis, who turned out to be the best, took the initiative and said: "Professor, we are a little tight on time. Let's try it first."
While talking, I asked everyone to try it.
Hills nodded.
People in the classroom gathered together in small groups, chattering.
Hills looked at Su Xiaomu, the most eye-catching person in the crowd.
He coughed twice softly.
1: If you are interested, you can find out that the semester system of many colleges and universities in the United States is different from that in China. MIT is a bit special. It seems to be something like 4-1-4, with two four-month semesters and one semester.
A one-month mini-semester, this mini-semester is prepared for the convenience of exchange and learning.
ps: I’m going on a long trip tomorrow, which lasts three days on 20, 21, and 22. I’m very busy and may not update.
