"Yes, Xiao Mu taught you high school competition. "Professor Ren is all over the world, and the students of his students are better than the blue.

"Mr. Mu taught very well, and I didn't spend extra effort to get the CPhO gold medal. Oh yes, Master Zu, my gold medal in physical competition is the first in the gold medal. Shen Qi briefly introduced the small achievements he had made in physics.

"What kind of grandfather? The rivers and lakes are so heavy, this is a university, not a hall, call me a teacher. With such a relationship, Professor Ren is a little closer to Shen Qi.

In terms of the seniority of Yan University, Shen Qi and Mu Rong are both students of Professor Ren, and they are a junior brother and a senior sister.

Judging from the seniority of Nangang No. 2 Middle School, Mu Rong is Shen Qi's teacher, and he is a generation higher.

All in all, this relationship is silly and unclear, and now it is the scene of Yan University, Shen Qi called Professor Ren Teacher Ren: "Teacher Ren, I have been very interested in physics since I was a child, otherwise I would not have participated in CPhO." It's a pity that I couldn't participate in IPhO because I graduated from high school, and I regret it for the rest of my life. ”

"Good, good, it's good to be interested, interest is the best teacher. Professor Ren said with relief.

"May I ask Mr. Ren, if I want to get a second degree in physics, how should I do it?" Shen Qi humbly asked.

"It's very simple, you just need to complete the credits of the relevant majors in the Academy. Professor Ren said as a matter of course.

"But it's very likely that I only have one year left in Yanda. Shen Qi briefly talked about his plan to study abroad.

"Then it will take one year to complete all the credits. Professor Ren still said this.

"Does our institute have a dissertation defense system?" asked Shen Qi.

Professor Ren held up two fingers: "Two years." ”

"Two years?"

"If you have studied for at least two years as an undergraduate, and have an average score of more than 90 points in professional courses, you can apply for dissertation defense. This is the rule of the Mono Hospital. ”

"Oh, got it. "Shen Qixin said that I am still a big math college, and I passed the defense of my bachelor's degree in mathematics in my freshman year.

After less than ten minutes of communication, the big thing class continued.

Shen Qi pondered, according to the regulations of the Academy of Physics, it would be very difficult to get a bachelor's degree in physics in the next year.

Even in the second year of his sophomore year, Shen Qi's average score in physics classes was above 90, and it was summer vacation.

At the beginning of the third year, I applied for the thesis defense of the bachelor's degree in physics, and if everything went well, I got a bachelor's degree certificate in physics in the third year.

Graduate admissions in the U.S. are generally divided into spring and fall, with spring January and autumn September.

So the biggest enemy is time.

If time is too late, Shen Qi can only give up the second degree in physics, he is a man who races against time.

To complete the credits of the physics major, the course of college physics does not count, and the physics major of Yan University does not study big things, just as the mathematics major students do not study advanced mathematics.

Taking the physics major of Yan University as an example, the compulsory courses for their majors are "Advanced Mathematics", "Linear Algebra", "Mechanics", "Electromagnetism", "Thermal", "Fundamentals of Modern Optics", "Methods of Mathematical Physics", "Electrodynamics", "Thermodynamics and Statistical Physics", "Modern Quantum Mechanics", and "Solid State Physics...... Wait a minute.

"In my junior year, I might as well take all the credits in physics in one year, which is the most appropriate way for me. ”

After Professor Ren's university physics class, Shen Qi made a decision.

"Don't push yourself so hard. Ou Ye expressed distress, she said: "It's okay to go out a year late." ”

"Time waits for no one, Ouye, we will be twenty years old soon, and we have not made any achievements to glorify our ancestors, I can't sleep all night, and I am very anxious. Writing a few papers is nothing, and it is far from the real scientific results. Shen Qi stroked his forehead and said, worried.

"Long story short. Shen Qi took out a notebook that recorded the mathematical inspiration he had collected in fragments over the past few months.

Putting together these fragments of mathematical inspiration into an academic paper is quite a huge undertaking.

Shen Qi roughly estimated that these inspirations could be integrated and sorted out into about 30 mathematical papers, and it would take about three years to write these papers.

The premise is that if you don't do anything else in the past three years, you will write a math paper.

Shen Qi has the ability to independently complete this grand mathematical paper project, these thirty mathematical papers involve number theory, real variable functions, Riemann geometry, functional analysis, topology, mathematical physics and many other branches, if all of them are written, plus several mathematical papers published by Shen Qi before, it is completely possible to produce a collection of papers.

He had to get a double degree, prepare for TOEFL and GRE, and major in mathematics and physics, Shen Qi was a little haggard and hurried.

"Finish a few and count a few. Shen Qi and Ou Ye discussed one of the inspirations, the solvability of the Diophantine equation.

As we all know, the problem of solving the Diophantine equation occupies a very important position in the study of elementary number theory and algebraic number theory, for example, the solution of Fermat's problem is a typical example.

However, due to the variety of forms of indefinite equations, there are still many unsolved problems in this regard.

"I'll provide the inspiration, you can write the paper, OK?" Shen Qi said to Ou Ye.

“OK。 Ou Ye replied without thinking.

"I try my best to provide you with inspiration for the direction of number theory, you are suitable for further development in this branch, specialize in one Ouye, even I have temporarily chosen to specialize in mathematics and physics, after all, a person's energy is limited. "Shen Qi is telling the truth, any discipline that studies deeply, will find that it is so small and incompetent.

Don't be too floating, the all-round scientist is a legend in the 21st century, and it is a reliable choice to do the best in a small branch first.

Striving for a second degree in physics, Shen Qi's original intention was to deepen his physics foundation in order to seek breakthroughs in the field of mathematical physics.

On the academic affairs information website of Yan University, Shen Qi found all the required course schedules from the first year to the fourth year of the physics major, which classroom to take classes at what time, and when to take the exam.

The next step is the formalities, go to the Academic Affairs Office of Yan University to fill out a form, submit some materials, and prove that you have excellent academic performance in your major and have the spare time to take a second degree.

Shen Qi is a student in the Academy of Mathematics, going to study for a second degree in physics, this is a conscious and voluntary behavior, no one cares about him, the sky is high and the birds fly, what do you like, just pass the exam, and you will be given credits.

Faculty of Physics, Academic Degrees Evaluation Committee.

"Teacher, I don't have to take the exam for high mathematics and line generation, right?" Shen Qi handed the bachelor's degree certificate of mathematics to the teacher.

The teacher, a staff member of the Academic Degree Evaluation Committee of the School of Physics, said: "Advanced mathematics and line generation are compulsory courses for our physics major, and the credits are irreplaceable and must be examined. ”

Shen Qi took out five mathematics journals from his bag, black, white, yellow, blue, and all kinds of colors, which symbolized the gratifying situation of the vigorous development of mathematics in China.

Shen Qi explained to the teacher: "Teacher, you see, I have published mathematics papers in core journals and SCI, all in the field of advanced algebra, and high algebra covers advanced mathematics and linear algebra. ”

"For example, this article "Analysis of Generalized Nonlinear Complementarity Problems Constrained by Linear Inequality", which was published in the national core journal "Mathematical Review", I will make a long story short, the main point of my core journal paper is that the generalized Jacobian matrix based on the semi-smooth system of equations composed of generalized complementarity problems ......"

The teacher's head was big: "Don't don't, I know that you Shen Qi is good at mathematics, but I don't understand these mathematical terms you said, and the interlacing is like a mountain." Shen Qi, can you speak in a simpler way?"

The teacher is the administrative staff responsible for the degree review of the Faculty of Physics, and he is not very familiar with academic professional problems, especially pure mathematics professional problems.

"Teacher, I'm not here to make trouble, I don't think I really need to take the test of advanced mathematics and linear algebra, I just take the exam of the physics major class, right?" Why did Shen Qi reason with the teacher of the Academy of Physics, because the line generation and optics were arranged by the Academy of Physics to take the exam on the same day and at the same time.

Linear algebra is a first-year course in physics, and optics is a sophomore course in this major.

The exam times of the two courses conflicted, for a special student like Shen Qi.
