As the school reopened, the students from dorm 201 returned to their dorm.
The first to return was Liu Rui. This young man was as hardworking as ever. He immediately started studying.
Even though he realized that he would never be able to catch up to Lu Zhou in this life, he still had a more realistic goal to strive for besides Lu Zhou in his dorm.
For example, the postgraduate entrance exam.
Putting aside the idealists who kept saying "the postgraduate entrance exam has already started in the first year" while playing with their mobile phones in the library, most people, after recognizing their identity as lazy cancer patients, would obediently wait until the last batch of seniors finished their exams or even after they left school before they started preparing. However, this kid had already started studying more than half a year in advance. It seemed that he was planning something big.
The second person to return was still the dorm leader.
When Shi Shang walked in and saw Lu Zhou, he put down his suitcase and said excitedly, "Zhou, I haven't seen you for the summer.
"Zhou, I haven't seen you for the summer and you're showing off again!"
Lu Zhou, who was studying Polignac's conjecture, raised his head and looked at Lu Zhou with a strange expression.
"Me … What?"
In all honesty, he hadn't caused any commotion during this period of time. Why did he suddenly put on such a big show?
Could it be that, unknowingly, for him, the act of acting cool could already be completed automatically when he was lying down and not moving?
Shi Shang sat down on the chair and said, "Don't be so humble. Why are you asking me what I did? I saw you on Nature Weekly!"
So that's it …
It's been almost half a month.
Lu Zhou looked at the excited Shi Shang and was speechless.
"You also subscribed to Nature Weekly?"
"No, but I can see the Weibo posts!" said Shi Shang with a smile. He then asked, "What do you think? Do you have a chance for the Nobel Prize?"
When Liu Rui heard about the Nobel Prize, he stopped studying and suddenly perked up his ears.
He did not usually look at Weibo. At most, he would look at his friend circle. This was the first time he heard that Lu Zhou was on Nature Weekly.
However, what he didn't understand was that even if he knew that Lu Zhou went to Europe to show off, he was just a mathematician. Why would he talk about the Nobel Prize?
Upon hearing Shi Shang's question, Lu Zhou was amused. "I don't know. Why don't you help me ask around in Norway?"
If this thing was so easy to obtain, it would have been all over the streets.
Just then, the door that was closed by the dormitory leader was pushed open again.
Huang Guangming, who was wearing glasses, dragged his suitcase and swaggered in with an arrogant posture.
"201, your dad is back — Damn, Brother Fei, forgive me, dad was wrong … No, no, no, wait, let me take off my glasses first, ah —"
Handsome for less than three seconds.
Before Huang Xiaozi could finish his sentence, Brother Fei and Liu Rui joined hands to punish him. Lu Zhou added fuel to the fire. As usual, he did not participate in the discussion and continued to study the topic at hand.
Just like that, with Little Scum's screams, dorm 201, which had rested for the entire summer, finally returned to its daily routine of the new semester …
…
Strictly speaking, from the beginning of this semester, Lu Zhou was only in his first year of master's.
However, it did not seem to matter how many years he studied as he would be able to get his diploma in one year.
Although Professor Lu Shenjian helped him draw up a timetable, there were not many classes that a master's student had to attend. Basically, he spent most of his time in the library or in his dorm studying the Polignac's conjecture.
The infinity of twin prime numbers had been solved. What he needed to do now was to find a suitable method to extend it to the case of infinite prime numbers.
The topology principle of the sieve method could not be used on this problem. In order to solve this problem, he had to find a new method.
This was the most troublesome part of number theory.
There were too many methods to choose from. The biggest problem that most people faced in the field of number theory was that they did not know where to start.
However, Lu Zhou's mentality was very calm. He was not too impatient.
He had already successfully solved a mathematics conjecture. Although he did not have any inspiration at this time, he knew the feeling of inspiration.
Even without the help of "inspiration time", when he accumulated a certain amount of thinking, there would be a qualitative change sooner or later. When that time came, he believed that he would be able to grasp the flash of inspiration.
On the other hand, other than Lu Zhou, who had already started his first year of master's, the other three students from Dorm 201 had also entered their third year.
With the opening of elective courses, the task of learning seemed to be even heavier than last year, when they had to copy experiment reports until their hands were numb.
After the class leader, Tian Jun, came back from the class committee meeting, he went to each dorm room and told them to check their timetable online.
Some elective courses that did not have enough students or teachers did not have time for this semester might be eliminated.
Generally speaking, in order to leave time for the fourth year, students who were preparing for the postgraduate entrance exam would generally choose to use two semesters in their third year to complete all of their elective courses.
If one of their courses were eliminated, it would be a huge headache. They would have to find another course that they did not complete.
Unfortunately, there really was such an unlucky child here.
"Jesus, I was eliminated from the actuarial mathematics course."
Huang Xiaozi, who was sitting in front of the computer, suddenly screamed.
Shi Shang's heart skipped a beat when he heard the scream. He quickly looked at his timetable and realized that all the classes he had chosen were still there. He then laughed gloatingly. "Not bad, Little Bitch. You have some ideas. Are you going to study finance for your postgraduate studies?"
"Stop it, I'm so pissed. I heard from the seniors in the club group that the teacher usually has a lot of projects. That's why he chose this course. Motherf * cker, who knew he wouldn't have time for this semester!" said Huang Guangming as he leaned back in his chair.
Yes, teachers with a lot of projects would not stoop to the same level as undergraduate students. Sometimes, they would let their PhD students take over the class.
However, some teachers were too busy and would end up like this …
Shi Shang smiled and said, "Then why aren't you choosing now? I remember that the Academic Affairs Office has been reselecting courses for the past few days. If you wait any longer, all the good courses will be taken."
"I know, I'm choosing …" said Huang Guangming as he logged into the Academic Affairs Office website. He suddenly looked back at Lu Zhou and asked, "Zhou, which elective course is easier?"
Lu Zhou replied without hesitation, "Mathematical modeling. I remember it's Professor Liu's class. Professor Liu is pretty nice."
If it was not for the future direction of development, there were only two reasons for choosing elective courses. Either the course content was extremely easy and even an idiot could pass it, or the teacher was lax and would draw out the range of topics for you before the exam.
Among all of the professors that Lu Zhou knew, Professor Liu Xiangping was the only one that fit these two criteria.
In his opinion, mathematical modeling was probably the easiest course out of all the courses that he had encountered.
"Let me see," said Huang Guangming as he moved closer to the computer screen. He clicked on the mouse and the situation was not looking good. He said, "Motherf * cker, it's full."
Lu Zhou thought for a bit and said, "Then basic number theory? I think it's pretty easy. "
"Okay then, let me see … F * ck, this is awesome, there are more than twenty empty seats!" said Huang Guangming as if he had discovered a new continent.
However, Liu Rui, who was sitting across from him, suddenly poured cold water on him.
"Give up, b * tch," said Liu Rui as he twirled the pen in his hand. He looked up and said slowly, "Don't underestimate the word 'basic' in basic number theory, it's probably the most difficult class. Even Zhou thinks it's easy … I advise you to find another one. "
Lu Zhou: "???"
What the hell?!
Huang Guangming said anxiously, "F * ck, Brother Lu, don't screw me over."
"Really? Well, I don't know what's simple … "Lu Zhou didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Shi Shang rubbed his chin and thought for a while. Suddenly, he asked, "Zhou, are you close with Professor Liu?"
Lu Zhou thought for a bit and said, "I'm pretty close, he took me to a mathematical modeling competition."
Shi Shang, "How about … you help me ask? See if you can add a name to the list. I remember that the professor has the right to change the list. "
Lu Zhou thought that it was not a big deal, so he nodded and said, "Okay then, I'll go ask in the afternoon."
"Zhou, my good brother, I really …" said Huang Guangming as he was touched. He then said, "I don't know how to thank you!"
Lu Zhou smiled and said, "That's easy, then treat me to a meal. The fish restaurant is fine."
