Chapter 150

After lunch, Gu Lu returned to the building of the Academy, came to the second floor, and walked into his office.

In universities, it is common for professors to have a small office on their own.

The three titles of associate professor, lecturer, and teaching assistant are two or three people who share a slightly larger office.

Gu Lu shares an office with the other two teachers in the School of Mathematics.

Although it is only used for three people, the area of the office is about the same size as the original office of the mathematics group in Haicheng No. 1 Middle School.

Three desks, a printer, a water dispenser, a bookshelf.

On one side of the office, there is also a long conference table with several test papers cluttered on it.

As for bonsai......

Hehe, three big men, what do you want!

For male teachers, even if they are given a pot of meat, it is estimated that they will not be able to survive for a week.

Flowers and plants or something, forget it!

"Xiao Gu is back?" Gu Lu just pushed the door in and found that the two teachers were there.

One of them heard the sound of the door being slammed, turned his chair and smiled at Gu Lu.

The two teachers in the same office as Gu Lu are currently associate professors.

One has the surname Shi, and the other has the surname Dong.

The two wore different styles of plaid shirts, were about forty years old, and had a unique Mediterranean hairstyle and thick lenses, which gave people the impression of wisdom and erudition at a glance.

The person who is talking to Gu Lu now is Teacher Shi, who is currently in charge of teaching the course "Real Functions and Functional Analysis" in the third year.

"Well, just finished eating. Gu Lu nodded, put the bag down first, and then went to the water dispenser to get a cup of hot water.

Teacher Shi pulled a chair and sat next to Gu Lu, and asked with a smile, "Teacher Gu, today is your first class, how is it, how do you feel?"

"Not bad. Gu Lu raised his eyebrows and smiled, "It's much better than I imagined." ”

"Isn't it worry-free?" Teacher Shi looked like he was familiar with himself, shook his head and said, "To be honest, I used to be a teacher in an ordinary undergraduate school, and I don't need to say much about the classroom atmosphere. No one responded to the question for a long time, which made me a little autistic. ”

"And every time I go to class, the first few rows must be empty, and the students are desperately squeezing back. When I encountered this situation in the first class, I thought that a leader was going to come to inspect, and the positions in the first few rows were deliberately reserved for them, but as a result, I was worried about a class, and I didn't see the shadow of the leader. ”

"What's more, there is a student who has been very active in class, but it is not me, but someone else who has found a substitute for the class!" Shi Shi's teacher said angrily.

Gu Lu: "......"

"There were also a few classmates who were often absent from class, and I couldn't bear it anymore in the end, so I talked to them. ”

"What about after that?" Gu Lu asked.

Teacher Shi's helpless tone, "They said a word to me, which made me confused at that time." ”

"What's that?" Gu Lu was curious.

"What is the difference between a teacher who retains students by name and a junior who keeps a man by pregnancy!"

Gu Lu: "......"

I am speechless when I say this!

Teacher Shi sighed, "In comparison, it is still the students of our Yan University that make people worry-free!"

"Although it is inevitable that there will be truancy, the reasons for taking leave are very legitimate, such as: the ex-boyfriend gets married the day after tomorrow, dresses up tomorrow, and goes to the field on time the day after tomorrow. Worried that their village would lose the competition, they rushed back to their hometown Gansu to participate in the Lanzhou Ramen Competition. and on Valentine's Day, there was a sound system downstairs in the girls' dormitory to play "Happy Breakup" on a loop, and I was granted leave. ”

Gu Lu: "???"

Mr. Shi is quite a talkative person.

Gu Lu clearly felt this.

The relationship between the two was not very familiar, but Teacher Shi insisted on chatting with Gu Lu for more than half an hour.

From the university atmosphere, to the politics of the family and country, and finally revealed some gossip in the industry to Gu Lu.

Finally, Mr. Shi talked about the just-concluded National Mathematical Contest in Modeling, referred to as the National Competition.

"How is our school's record?" Gu Lu didn't pay attention to this aspect of the problem, so he asked.

Teacher Shi shrugged, "Play normally, five countries one, two countries three, one province and two provinces." ”

Gu Lu's brows furrowed slightly.

In recent years, Yan University's mathematical modeling strength seems to have declined.

During his undergraduate studies at Yan University, Yan University almost had the strength of the dominant level in mathematical modeling.

In the most glorious year, Gu Lu remembered winning fifteen national first prizes in one go, almost monopolizing nearly one-third of the places.

But maybe it's because more energy is being put into preparing for the American competition.

Gu Lu knows that there are many people in Yan University who disdain to participate in domestic modeling competitions, but put their goals on the higher-level modeling competitions of college students.

The gold content of that American competition award is a grade higher than that of the national competition.

But again, the competition is fiercer.

Because the opponents are not only from China and the United States, but from the whole world, the best group of college students.

"The team for the American competition is still being formed, but I heard that the process is not smooth, and it seems that the instructor has not decided on it for a long time. Teacher Shi broke the news to Gu Lu.

"By the way, Mr. Gu, have you participated in the American competition before? I participated in one session in my junior year, but I only won a second-class F award. ”

The awards of Meisai are divided into five grades.

The F award, out of six grades, is in the second category.

On top of that, there are only about 20 O Awards every year.

"I participated in it once when I was a freshman. Gu Lu replied with a smile.

"Freshman. Teacher Shi paused for a moment.

Under normal circumstances, the teams participating in the U.S. competition are basically composed of sophomores and juniors, and there will be a few seniors at a young age.

But first-year students, it's really rare!

Because the knowledge level of freshmen alone cannot support such a difficult modeling competition as Meisai.

A modeling team, usually consisting of three students.

They are responsible for modeling, programming, and thesis.

As a freshman, I'm afraid I can't even do the simplest task of writing a thesis.

"Then Mr. Gu, which award did you get in the first place?"

It won't be an S Award that represents thank you for participating.

The S Award, the lowest level of awards, is awarded to 56% of the teams of participants in the current year.

Generally speaking, as long as you don't cheat or don't win the first four tiers of awards, you'll get an S prize that represents thank you for participating.

Gu Lu shook his head, "No, I won the O Award." ”

O Prize?!

Teacher Shi then asked, "Then which part of the work are you responsible for?" ”

"Modeling, and programming. Gu Lu replied.

Teacher Shi: "......"
