Undergraduate Higher Education Society Cup winners: Lu Zhou, Wang Xiaodong, Lin Yuxiang (University of Jin Ling)!
Regardless of whether the rest of the school was excited, dorm 201 was excited.
"F * ck me, Zhou is nutty!"
"Didn't I say so? Also, don't call me Zhou, call me Brother Lu! "
"Yes, yes, yes …"
Liu Rui looked at Huang Guangming and Shi Shang before he turned off his phone and put it in his pocket. He pretended like he did not see anything and continued to do his physics class homework.
Higher Education Society Cup!
Stand out from more than 70,000 university students!
Ah …
He did not want to look up at this level anymore.
Suddenly, the dorm door was pushed open and the class monitor, Tian Jun, rushed in. Following closely behind him was Li Tao and the second best student in the class, Luo Rundong.
"F * ck me, did you guys see this! Our school has a Higher Education Society Cup! "Tian Jun yelled as soon as he entered the door. He tried to find Lu Zhou but he could not find him.
Luo Rundong then asked, "Where's Zhou?"
Shi Shang had a cheerful smile on his face as if he had won the prize, "He's still in Beijing. He's on the train tomorrow."
Li Tao said, "Brother Lu is nutty. I wonder if he's going to participate next year. It'll be good if I can hug his leg."
He played too much last semester and his final advanced mathematics exam was terrible. If he hugged Lu Zhou's leg earlier, he might even have a chance to get into graduate school.
That was the Higher Education Society Cup!
The University of Jin Ling had won a lot of national championships but this was the first time.
"F * ck f * ck f * ck, have you slept with Zhou before? You don't have the right to speak if you haven't slept with him. "
Huang Guangming said, "Brother Rui, why are your eyes red? Do you need some eye drops?"
Liu Rui: "…"
F * ck sake, I'm going to hit someone!

[Undergraduate MATLAB Innovation Award Winners: Wei Wen, Cui Jing, Yang Wanhong (University of Yanjing)]
"How is this possible!"
Wei Wen suddenly stood up and stared at the TV.
Second place …
Only second place!
In the resting area, he went over to all the teams that he thought were strong and inquired about their situation.
Whether it was the genius student from Wudaokou University who won the national championship three times, the original team from Xia University from 13 years ago, or the genius student from Jin University who was criticized by the media as an academic cancer, Lu Zhou …
Especially that Lu Zhou. Wei Wen, who had read that thesis, was the most afraid of him.
However, the most threatening one was him, and the one who was least likely to win the prize was also him.
It wasn't that he looked down on this person.
Wei Wen had to admit that this person was very strong. He was so strong that even the professors at the Courant Mathematics Institute were surprised. Lu Zhou's modeling ability was hard to say, but in the field of mathematics, he was indeed slightly worse than Lu Zhou.
However, mathematical modeling was a team competition. It was a semi-academic team scientific research competition. It was not a mathematics competition where test scores were compared! Modeling, programming, and thesis, these three tasks had to be done in a strict division of labor. If any of these steps went wrong, they would fall to the ground.
After seeing Lu Zhou's teammates, Wei Wen excluded the University of Jin Ling's team from the list of competitors.
The programmer in charge of programming was probably an expert as well, but he was at most a second-rate genius, not the best. As for the female team member, she was just a bystander. He could tell with one glance that she was slacking off the entire time, so he completely ignored her.
On the surface, it was a 3v3, but it was actually a 3v1.9 game.
After seeing their lineup, Wei Wen was certain that the first place was their ceiling.
However …
The reality was the exact opposite of what he expected.
The championship did not belong to him, nor did it belong to any of the strong teams that he was afraid of. It fell into the hands of that person …
The news ended and the next video began.
Wei Wen's handsome face was gloomy. He bit his lips and sat back in his chair.
Compared to the Higher Education Society Cup, which symbolized the first place in the country, the so-called MATLAB Innovation Award was just a consolation for the losers. There used to be an IBM SPSS Innovation Award, which was similar in nature. It meant that the software was good, but the modeling was still a little bit worse than the first place. Try harder next time …
Even though this result was enough to make most people ecstatic.
However, for him, there was no meaning if he was not the champion.
Standing next to him, the girl with shoulder-length bangs stared at the TV screen in silence.
After around ten minutes, Wei Wen suddenly spoke.
"… Little Jing, give me the computer."
"Okay." Cui Jing nodded and walked to the office table in the activity room. She took the tablet and handed it to her captain.
After taking the tablet, Wei Wen skillfully entered the website and logged into the official website.
The winner's thesis would be publicly displayed on the official website. First, it would be used as a model for people to learn from. It would also let the losers know the gap between them and the first place winner. Second, it would be reviewed by the public to prove the fairness of the competition.
Lu Zhou's thesis was at the top, so Wei Wen quickly found it.
He downloaded the winner's thesis and opened the pdf file. Wei Wen frowned as he stared at the screen. He carefully read from the first word to the appendix.
"…"
About half an hour passed in silence.
Wei Wen's shoulders suddenly relaxed and he sighed.
"I lost …"
The mathematical modeling competition had an element of luck. If a thesis was written to the taste of a few professors, even if the modeling level was very average, it was still possible to win the second or even the first prize.
However, when it came to the "Higher Education Society Cup", which symbolized the first place in the country, there was no element of luck. Every nominated work would be reviewed by all the members of the Organizing Committee at the judging panel.
Especially the few people sitting in the middle of the judging panel. Even the former chief designer of the China lunar exploration project was there. The design of Chang 'e 3 was guided by him. In the entire China, who was more authoritative in the field of aerospace than him?
After reading Lu Zhou's model thesis, Wei Wen was once again convinced of this.
In terms of coding, they were on par with each other. Maybe Lu Zhou was slightly better, but in terms of mathematical modeling, he lost without a doubt. As for the thesis, it was the same.
The idea of mathematical modeling was highly consistent with the idea of the thesis.
He was even sure that the modeling and thesis work were all done by Lu Zhou alone.
Although there were some weak teams that would use this tactic, after all, it was not a new thing to win the team competition with "connections". However, there had never been a strong team that was aiming for the Higher Education Society Cup that would be so arrogant.
The competition time was only three days. High-quality modeling and high-quality thesis work was enough to exhaust a person's energy. Even if a person was nutty, it was impossible to not eat, drink, and sleep while still ensuring the quality of the modeling and thesis.
However, the reality was that the man named Lu Zhou beat the two of them by himself.
This person is a monster …
Wei Wen bit his lips so hard that they turned blue.
It was not because of jealousy.
It was because he felt humiliated by his opponent …
Cui Jing, who was standing behind him, asked, "What are you going to do?"
The atmosphere went silent for a while.
"… Nothing, just a win or a loss."
Wei Wen put down the tablet and stood up.
In his dark pupils, the haze and frustration were swept away. Instead, they were filled with high fighting spirit.
To be able to compete with an opponent like Lu Zhou was a great thing in life.
Just a win or a loss.
Next time, he won't lose!
Wei Wen paused for a second before he took a deep breath and spoke calmly.
"Don't forget, we still have the US competition in February next year!"
Cui Jing, who was standing behind him, had a soft smile on her face.
This is the Wei Wen she knew.
The college entrance examination champion who never gave up.
"Yeah."
…
That night, Lu Zhou received a lot of phone calls.
There were calls from Room 201. They first complimented him with "Brother Lu, Brother Lu", and then bombarded him with questions about treating him to a meal.
Only at times like this would these animals remember the title "Brother Lu".
There was also a call from Instructor Zhang. He first smiled and congratulated Lu Xuan. Following that, he praised himself, saying that Student Little Lu was not bad and had half of his demeanor back then, and so on.
Lu Zhou was dumbfounded.
Thankfully, this person was his class instructor. Otherwise, he would have hung up already.
In addition to the calls from his class, there were also calls from the school.
There were calls from Dean Lu, Professor Tang, and their instructor, Professor Liu.
Professor Liu, in particular, laughed out loud on the other end of the phone, "Well done, Higher Education Society Cup! Every year, our Jin Ling University sends a few first level students to Beijing for awards, but this is the first time we've won the Higher Education Society Cup! "
Speaking up to this point, Liu Xiangping sighed with emotion and sincerely admired him. "You're also quite amazing, brat. You can even bring back this trophy with you. Next year's US competition, you should aim for the O Prize. "
The full name of the O Prize was Outstanding-Winner, which was the so-called grand prize. Normally, the F Prize would be nominated from the first prize (M Prize). Then, the F Prize would be selected from the F Prize. There were only around 20 O Prize teams in the world.
In the O Prize, there were also awards from various associations and companies. It was roughly equivalent to the Higher Education Society Cup. Even though there was a difference in terms of name, the treatment was completely different. For example, the award given by Twin Sigma Investment (TSI) came with a US $10,000 prize, but it was only given to US teams …
"It's not just me. Without Senior Wang's code, I wouldn't have been able to win this trophy," said Lu Zhou with a smile. He was being modest.
"Oh, is that so? That's great." Liu Xiangping smiled and continued, "The school is preparing to give you an extra 10,000 yuan bonus. Just now, the principal was talking to me about this on the phone and asked for my opinion as a teacher. At that time, I suggested to Principal Xu that since the thesis and modeling were done by Captain Lu Zhou, we should just give the extra ten thousand yuan to that kid as a separate award. What you said makes sense. Let's do it this way. I'll call the principal later and split the 10,000 yuan in half. I'll give it to you and Wang Xiaodong. "
When Lu Zhou heard this, he was not happy.
"Teacher, I've thought about it carefully," said Lu Zhou with a serious face. He then said, "Even though Wang Xiaodong's contributions are outstanding, without me as the captain, fighting on the front line for more than 30 hours, he definitely wouldn't have won this trophy. So … "
"Hahahaha, lie, keep lying," said Professor Liu as he interrupted Lu Zhou. He then said, "Professor Tang is right, you're not being honest."
When Lu Zhou saw that his thoughts were exposed, he coughed and said, "Um … At most, I'll give him one-third. One-half is really unfair. I didn't sleep for a minute the next day writing the thesis."
"I'm just kidding. This bonus is given to you by Principal Xu. You can't run away," said Professor Liu with a smile. He then said, "If you're done in Beijing, hurry back."
Lu Zhou asked, "I'm leaving tomorrow morning … Is there something urgent?"
"Nothing urgent, I just want you guys to come back and take some photos."
Photos?
I already uploaded the photos for the certificate, why do I need to take photos?
Lu Zhou asked, "Why do we need to take photos?"
