After teaching for around eighty minutes, Lu Zhou took two steps back and looked at the blackboards. He saw that there was no space for him to write, so he looked back at the students in the classroom. He threw down the chalk in his hand and smiled.
"That's it for today."
When the students saw that Professor Lu finally threw away the chalk in his hand, they finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Even though university professors were all the same, no one was as crazy as Professor Lu, who flipped through sixty to seventy pages in one lecture, right?
At this rate, he was afraid that this textbook would not last more than a few classes before it would be finished by him.
However, an objective evaluation …
Professor Lu's teaching level was quite good.
No, rather than quite good, it would be better to say that he was quite good.
In the current environment, many professors were mostly perfunctory when teaching undergraduate students. To a large extent, teaching ability was inversely proportional to academic ability.
However, Professor Lu gave them a completely different feeling.
Even though they couldn't fully understand the ideas that he used to solve problems, at least when he was explaining some esoteric knowledge, they could hear things that could not be taught in textbooks.
Like methods.
Like experience.
For the genius students sitting here, they knew very well that compared to the things in textbooks, these were more important!
A tall and thin boy sat in the middle of the classroom. He looked at the notes on the table and sighed as he said, "If God Lu was here to teach us, I wouldn't have failed so miserably last semester."
For undergraduate students, number theory, which required a strong mathematical ability and thinking ability, was a relatively difficult subject.
Especially in the fields of algebraic number theory and analytic number theory, there were many esoteric problems that even a PhD in mathematics might not be able to fully understand.
As an elective course, the things they learned were relatively basic, but there were many esoteric things that were difficult to understand.
However, to his surprise, a lot of knowledge that was originally difficult to understand seemed to become easier to understand after listening to Professor Lu's explanation.
Sitting next to him, his roommate with glasses said, "After all, he used to be a professor at Princeton with an annual salary of hundreds of thousands of dollars. Why do you think so many people come to his class?"
The tall and thin boy: "Huh? Aren't you aiming for the Nobel Prize and the Fields Prize? "
"… Well, maybe both."
While the two were whispering to each other, Lu Zhou, who was standing on the stage, continued.
"There's still some time left. If there's anything you don't understand, you can ask me now."
"Of course, although you can ask me questions outside of the classroom, if it involves personal privacy, I definitely won't answer."
Hearing the second half of the sentence, the classroom was filled with excited whispers.
Even those who sat in the classroom out of curiosity about the Nobel Prize winner, who didn't understand mathematics at all, were instantly energized.
After a while, a male student with a pair of black-rimmed glasses, who looked like a genius, raised his hand and stood up as he said excitedly.
He then asked excitedly, "Professor, can you tell us how you solved Goldbach's conjecture?"
When Lu Zhou heard this question, he smiled and said, "Of course I can, but not now. With your current foundation, I'm afraid you'll fall asleep before I even finish the first page of the thesis. For advanced problems like this, I suggest you guys build a solid foundation first … Of course, if you're really interested, I can put this problem at the end of the course. "
Brainiac sat down, and a chubby boy in a down jacket raised his hand and stood up. He asked curiously.
He then asked curiously, "Professor, what made you change your research from mathematics to controllable nuclear fusion?"
Controllable nuclear fusion?
This question isn't easy to answer.
Lu Zhou thought for a bit and said, "My research field isn't just mathematics. It's not just pure mathematics. In my opinion, mathematics is a powerful theoretical tool. Whether it's physics, chemistry, or other research fields, effective calculations can help us find answers faster.
"The research on the Navier – Stokes equation gave me an opportunity to solve the plasma turbulence problem. Of course, the reason why I started researching this problem was probably three years ago. I was in Berlin at the time, and I received the Hoffman Medal from the German Chemical Society. That's where I met Professor Klitzing. Thank you very much for inviting me to visit the Wendelstein 7-X laboratory … "
"As for the specifics, I'm sure you guys won't be interested," Lu Zhou said in a joking tone. "Also, it's not good for you guys to know too much."
There was laughter in the classroom.
It was almost time for class to end.
As soon as the bell rang, Lu Zhou closed the book in his hand and quickly left the classroom before the enthusiastic students surrounded him.
In the hallway outside the classroom, he bumped into Principal Xu, who was walking down the stairs.
Principal Xu noticed that Lu Zhou was holding a textbook, so he smiled and greeted him before he walked over.
"How was it? How did it feel in class? "
"It was okay." Lu Zhou smiled and said, "My biggest feeling is that the students at the University of Jin Ling are much more enthusiastic than the students at Princeton."
When he was teaching at Princeton, even though the students there liked young and knowledgeable professors, they weren't as enthusiastic as Lu Zhou.
After all, there were too many geniuses there. Most of the people standing on the podium were Nobel Prize or Fields Award winners.
Also, compared to the experienced old professor, he still had a lot to learn in terms of teaching skills.
Of course, this was only based on Princeton's standards.
According to Jin Ling University's standards, it was impossible to find a professor who could teach mathematics better than him …
Headmaster Xu smiled and said, "It seems that our students really like you. My own class has never been so full before."
When Lu Zhou heard this, he smiled embarrassedly.
Maybe …
This is the benefit of being handsome?
Principal Xu paused for a second before he said, "If you have any dissatisfaction, or if you have any suggestions for teaching, you can tell me. The school will try to find a solution."
Lu Zhou: "I'm quite satisfied. I don't have any suggestions for now, it's just …"
Principal Xu: "It's just?"
"… No, nothing."
Lu Zhou originally wanted to ask why his office was filled with female assistants, but when he was about to ask, he thought about it and felt like it wasn't appropriate to ask this question.
Should I ask the school to replace them with men?
Emm …
