Chapter 39 Think too much, count first, then dream
Su Xiaomu was not stupid, and he understood the underlying meaning of Zhang Ke's words.
He even said that from the very beginning when Zhang Ke called him over, he felt a little worried.
In fact, Zhang Ke's academic level is as strong as his crazy receding hairline!
He has conducted in-depth research on cross-information research, algorithm design and analysis, and even mathematical analysis.
For ordinary students who are deeply rooted in computers, algorithms are actually the core of this subject;
It’s not about how many programming languages you know, nor is it about taking a few certificates that are just for appearance.
That's why Su Xiaomu reconstructed the core algorithm of data mining, and Yang Yu, who had a voice at the domestic data summit, turned into a well-behaved person in minutes.
Programming language is a form of realizing programming problems. Algorithms can give you better ways of thinking and better solutions. The excellence of the algorithm can also make the program run more efficiently.
Therefore, Su Ho always believed that Su Xiaomu did not know that his academic value was also based on these additional judgments.
There has never been anyone like Su Xiaomu who has the ability to reconstruct algorithms and optimize them at every turn.
As for the study of cross-information, it is extremely rare for schools other than Tsinghua University, because this subject is not specifically offered.
Therefore, Professor Zhang Ke is very outstanding, both in terms of appearance and appearance.
Su Xiaomu said seriously without much hesitation.
"I am personally very interested in algorithm design and analysis. I wonder if the professor has time to give students some guidance in this regard."
Professor Zhang Ke showed an even more satisfied smile.
"certainly."
That's the thing about scholars.
At the end, Zhang Ke gave Su Xiaomu a few special words.
"When you have time, you can read Introduction to the Design and Analysis of Algorithms and Algorithmic Puzzles by Anany Levitin."
"You can also visit several ACM websites and do some questions. In the next few days, you can start to form a team with your classmates and prepare to participate in the ICPC Asian Regional Competition."①
Professor Zhang Ke's English is very standard and his articulation is very clear.
Su Xiaomu nodded and wrote them down one by one.
Although he often visits ACM's zju, pku, and hdu websites and does a lot of questions, it does not prevent him from listening to the professor.
Levidin's two books, Fundamentals of Algorithm Design and Analysis and Algorithm Puzzles, have long been placed on Su Xiaomu's bedside table.
Coming out of Professor Zhang Ke's laboratory, Su Xiaomu was also thinking about a question.
Why don't I do something that popular academics should do?
Am I not a top student?
Don't I have any talent in algorithms?
neither.
It’s because I am too down-to-earth, too low-key, and too humble!
…………
…………
A total of three hours of high-level language programming: C++ from 2pm to 5pm.
For Su Xiaomu, it would be a bit too crazy to say that he has never done this homework before.
All I can say is that I can be first with my eyes closed.
Again, regardless of whether it is an all-English class, a regular class, or a bachelor's degree, as long as they are in the same grade, no one can play.
The fee for one appearance is hundreds of thousands, no joke.
In the afternoon course, it was obvious that some students were more concerned about the selection of instructors.
For example, Li Xingyi.
He stared at Su Xiaomu with hesitation all afternoon. He especially wanted to know if Su Xiaomu, who had ranked fifth in the world in a completely non-profit competition such as 64K demo, would have any professors take the initiative.
Choose.
Mainly, Li Xingyi submitted his resume to the professor in charge of data warehousing and data mining, hoping that the professor could be his mentor.
However, the professor had no intention of replying.
As Su Xiaomu's former squad leader, Chen Jiming didn't have so many worries. He picked an empty space and asked directly.
"Su Xiaomu, have you sent your resume to the professors?"
Chen Jiming's performance in the class transfer test was not that good, so he could barely make up for it, so he didn't really dream about becoming a mentor.
Su Xiaomu smiled and replied, "Professor Zhang Ke came to see me at noon. I think the professor is very good."
Chen Jiming quietly touched his lower back.
Haha, I knew it was definitely a painful answer, so I took the initiative to ask. I really wanted to award myself a medal for courage.
Not surprisingly, there were exclamations coming from the side.
"Bow down to the boss, is it so protruding? Professor Zhang Ke has only a few master's degrees!"
"If I remember correctly, several outstanding master's students were disliked by Professor Zhang Ke last year!"
"Haha, this is Professor Zhang Ke taking the initiative to recruit undergraduate students! What do you think! Su Xiaomu will take care of me, and I will slip away."
"The last sentence of Professor Zhang Ke's mantra is for you: If you think too much, first count the points of the algorithm and a few ICPC district awards, and then dream."
"..."
Li Xingyi on the side opened the textbook silently and read the book very seriously.
Learning makes me happy, learning makes me excellent, learning makes me separatist, and learning makes me mentally retarded.
Ah, MMP!
There is a saying about MMP that I have been holding back for a long time!
When Su Xiaomu heard everyone talking, he didn't explain much, but smiled and made a gesture.
"If anyone has signed up for ICPC, please take me with you and I will do various things."
A few years ago, someone on the forum of South China University of Technology said that SCUT did not pay attention to ACM at all and required students to sign up at their own expense. Almost ten years have passed in a flash.
Now the School of Computer Science and Engineering of South China University of Technology is at least paying attention to one aspect.
The 42nd ACM-ICPC Finals will be held in the first half of next year at Peking University, the capital of China.
Now is the time for all continents around the world to register and participate in regional competitions in batches.
Of course, South China University of Technology will form many teams to participate.
After Su Xiaomu finished speaking, the classroom was rarely quiet for a few seconds.
The whole world has witnessed Su Xiaomu's excellence, so if Su Xiaomu participates in ICPC, he might actually be able to get a regional medal.
However, there is a problem here. If they are on the same team as Shuaibi, they are destined to have no juniors to pay attention to them.
It was a bit quiet for a while, and Su Xiaomu was not in a hurry.
This kind of thing really requires fate and initiative.
ICPC has a team of up to three people and only one computer. They need to solve 7 to 13 problems within five hours. In addition to solid professionalism, good teamwork and psychological quality are the key factors to win...
I heard all kinds of comments from everyone, and I remembered my experience of wandering aimlessly in the South China University of Technology post bar.
Su Xiaomu suddenly had some thoughts that came out of the blue and seemed like they were reunited after a long separation.
He feels that there are not only international competitions, but also other ways to show the excellence of a popular academic...
