Chapter 57: Wang Xiangwu’s Invitation
"Yes, he was the first in this year's math competition and got full marks."
Hearing Xu You's answer, Wang Xiangwu, who was drinking water, choked again.
After a long time, the person who solved the problem turned out to be this year's physics and mathematics competition champion.
Judging from the situation, there will be two monsters in the next Ji University.
Wang Xiangwu still had many questions he wanted to ask Xu You, but after all, he was in class and couldn't waste too much time on these irrelevant questions.
Wang Xiangwu wanted Xu You to come up and talk about his ideas.
But after thinking about it, I decided not to do so.
The past few minutes have already made these sophomores feel ashamed enough.
If a high school student like Xu You were allowed to explain the questions to them.
Then where is the dignity of these sophomores?
Afterwards, Wang Xiangwu wrote the equation constructed by Xu You on the blackboard and explained to everyone the idea of this construction.
In fact, the equation itself is not difficult to understand. The difficulty lies in how to maintain a balance between ensuring accuracy and reducing the amount of calculation.
"For this kind of equation construction, the amount of calculation is already very small, and an ordinary home computer can complete it, and the error is only two standard deviations. If the long-range subtraction method is used, an ordinary computer may not be able to calculate it in 100 million years."
After listening to Wang Xiangwu's explanation, everyone was very convinced of Xu You's answer.
Even though most of them can understand this idea.
But even if they are given a teammate who can write algorithms.
It is not necessarily possible to construct a solution that can both ensure accuracy and reduce the amount of calculation.
The name Xu You was deeply imprinted in their hearts.
After class, Wang Xiangwu waved to Xu You, motioning him to come over.
Seeing this, Xu You pointed at himself, and after getting Wang Xiangwu's nod in confirmation, he followed Wang Xiangwu out of the classroom.
"If I'm not mistaken, you chose the Physics Department of Ji University."
In previous years, the top students in the physics competition almost always chose the School of Physics at Jilin University, and this is something everyone is accustomed to.
"No, teacher, I chose Heqing College."
Wang Xiangwu was stunned when he heard this.
Although Heqing College is indeed a very excellent college.
But there are very few students who rank top in a single subject competition.
Most of them are those who rank relatively low in national competitions in various subjects, or are the top scorers in the college entrance examination in various provinces and cities.
These students often do not have obvious strengths in a single subject, so they are more suitable for this comprehensive education.
Often after studying at university for one or two years, people decide on their future major based on their own circumstances.
Students like Xu You can get full marks and rank first in CPhO.
He's obviously a potential physicist.
Why did you choose Heqing College?
"Why didn't you choose physics as your major?"
While asking Xu You, Wang Xiangwu raised his thermos cup.
But remembering that Xu You choked him twice in class, Wang Xiangwu's hand in the air suddenly froze.
After learning from the previous two times, Wang Xiangwu felt that he should try not to drink water when talking to this child.
"I'm okay at math, but I want to build a solid foundation in science first. Learning math well will be very helpful for physics."
Wang Xiangwu was still very satisfied with Xu You's answer.
Indeed, in this era, many students are somewhat impetuous in their studies.
Basically, people study for the sake of exam results or various awards.
It seems a bit too eager for quick success.
Wang Xiangwu could see that although Xu You could get full marks in the physics competition, he was not the kind of student who studied purely for the sake of exams.
Only such students can truly produce scientific research results.
"So you should be pretty good at math. Did you win a national award?"
"Yes, I got it. The eighth place in Guojin."
Hearing Xu You's words, Wang Xiangwu was so shocked that he almost dropped his thermos.
Guojin ranked eighth?
What a concept!
The top 60 students in the national mathematics competition can all be admitted to Jingbei University.
In other words, this child is a combination of both mathematical and physical competition!
Is this called mathematics?
This is a bit too Versailles!
Wang Xiangwu even doubted whether he should let the child concentrate on mathematics.
Maybe I can win a math competition championship.
"I see. No wonder you chose Heqing College."
Wang Xiangwu suppressed his inner excitement and remained calm on the surface.
After all, I am a professor.
We should not get too excited just because a student has achieved some success in high school.
However, from what Xu You said, he still prefers physics.
This also gave Wang Xiangwu some peace of mind.
In fact, Wang Xiangwu specifically found Xu You because he wanted Xu You to join his own experimental group in the future.
Most undergraduates will enter the laboratory and get involved in scientific research when they are working on their graduation projects in their senior year.
But some particularly outstanding students will enter the laboratory early and participate in some scientific research projects.
Since Xu You wants to devote himself to physics in the future, Wang Xiangwu still wants to put Xu You in his group as soon as possible to study.
It would be a natural thing to let Xu You study for his master's degree in the future.
"Xu You, I think you are quite interested in scientific research. Aren't you auditing the course in advance now? If you have time, you can visit my laboratory for an internship, which will be very beneficial to your future."
Xu You didn't expect that Wang Xiangwu would directly invite him like this, and he was very happy.
Xu You did not plan to enter the laboratory too early.
After all, Xu You is not yet a formal undergraduate student. He is already very satisfied to be able to audit some university courses in advance.
"Really, teacher?" Xu You couldn't believe it.
"Of course it's true. But when you first start, you should focus on studying. Try not to disturb the seniors who are doing experiments. If they have time, they may tell you something. You can learn as much as you can. The main thing is to get a feel for the atmosphere of the laboratory in advance."
Although Xu You's ability has impressed Wang Xiangwu.
But Wang Xiangwu didn't expect that Xu You, a high school student, could be of any help to the laboratory's scientific research projects.
Wang Xiangwu wanted more to let his experimental group gain first impression and become Xu You's first choice in the future.
A good seedling like Xu You will definitely be sought after by teachers in various groups in the future.
"Xu You, to be honest, I am very optimistic about you. Based on your solution to the last problem, if you add some experimental data and write a good paper, it will definitely be at the level of an excellent undergraduate thesis."
"Teacher, you are too kind. I still have a lot to learn, but I will definitely continue to work hard."
In the face of Wang Xiangwu's praise, Xu You remained humble.
Next, the two added each other on WeChat and left their phone numbers.
