Chapter 228

In May, most of the seniors had already taken their graduation photos and were preparing for their graduation defense.

The importance of graduation defense is self-evident, it is related to whether you can graduate smoothly, if the repetition rate of the thesis exceeds the standard, you will be disqualified from graduation, and if you fail to pass the defense, you will not graduate on time, especially for students who are preparing to go to graduate school, it will also affect graduate admission to a certain extent.

Therefore, this matter must be taken seriously.

The graduation defense of the fourth-year graduates of the School of Mathematics of Yan University will start on May 17 and will last about a week.

The defense team is composed of a total of 18 associate professors and professors from the School of Mathematics of Yan University.

Among them, three people form a degree defense team, a total of six teams.

Each group is responsible for the graduation defense of about 20 students.

Gu Lu, Mr. Shi in the same office, and Mr. Zhang, who is also an associate professor, formed a defense team and was responsible for the graduation defense of 20 students in the first class of senior students.

…………

The night before the defense.

A senior men's dormitory in Yan University Mathematics Academy.

"I'm going to defend tomorrow, I'm so panicked, so panicked!"

"Panic, the soldiers will block, the water will cover the earth! Believe me, it's no problem to pass the unanimous vote tomorrow!"

"No, I'm still not at ease, I'm going to take another look. ”

With that, the boy opened a folder on his computer screen called 'Graduation Thesis'.

There are more than a dozen word documents neatly arranged inside.

Revised version of the graduation thesis .docx

Final version of the dissertation .docx

The final version of the dissertation .docx

…………

The dissertation will never be revised.docx

The graduation thesis was changed to I am a puppy version .docx

Wangwang version .docx

Suicide note .docx

The boy scratched his shiny bald head and clicked on the document that was finally named "Suicide Note".

This is the version of his dissertation that he submitted to the defense teacher.

After four months of heart-wrenching and blood, countless deletions and revisions, I don't know how many brain cells the boy died.

In order to successfully complete this graduation thesis, the male student can be said to have paid a lot.

One of the most obvious is the receding of the hairline to the back of the head.

A large shiny bald head, which is very dazzling under the refraction of the light.

Tomorrow is about to be defended, the boy is not at ease to open the school's thesis check system again, upload his graduation thesis, a few minutes later, the results of the check are out.

Repetition rate: 9.54%.

The boy secretly clenched his fists.

At the beginning of the year, due to the academic misconduct incident of a famous celebrity surnamed Zhai, the bad impact was great.

Therefore, major universities have introduced some policy requirements to further reduce the repetition rate of graduation theses.

This has made a lot of fresh graduates suffer.

Take Yan University Mathematics Academy as an example.

In previous years, the repetition rate of undergraduate theses of the School of Mathematics of Yan University was that as long as it was less than 20%, it was considered to be qualified.

But this year, that standard was directly lowered to 10%.

As long as the repetition rate of the graduation thesis exceeds 10%, you are not allowed to participate in the graduation defense, let alone get the graduation certificate.

This request made many people gasp.

Because this rule is really a bit harsh.

You must know that when writing a graduation thesis, it is inevitable to involve some professional mathematical names, and these professional terms will be counted in the repetition rate.

Unless they can create new terms, they alone account for five or six percent.

The mandatory requirement for the duplicate check rate is less than 10%.

In the past few months, in order to meet this requirement, I don't know what kind of desperate means the fresh graduates have used.

…………

May 17, the first day of defense.

Gu Lu and Teacher Shi, as well as a teacher Zhang, sat in a classroom that was temporarily used for graduation defense.

The eldest teacher, Mr. Zhang, sat in the middle, and Gu Lu and Mr. Shi sat on both sides.

Teacher Zhang flipped through the list of defense classmates, glanced at Teacher Gu Lu and Teacher Shi, and said softly, "Let's start." ”

Gu Lu and Teacher Shi nodded.

All 10 students who defended this morning sat in the back row of the classroom, nervous and nervous, taking a deep breath while staring at the graduation thesis in front of them.

Teacher Zhang picked up the list and turned his head to the ten students in the back row and said, "First, Shao Yuan, come up and start the defense, and the next Meng Hang, please get ready." ”

Mr. Zhang's words were like a catalyst, which made everyone's nervousness surge again.

Especially Meng Hang, although the air conditioner was turned on in the classroom, fine cold sweat still oozed from his forehead.

Shao Yuan, the first student to go up to the defense, took a deep breath, first walked to Gu Lu and others, handed each of the three teachers of the defense team a printed paper, and then came to the podium, inserted the USB flash drive, and opened the PPT.

Shao Yuan bowed slightly to Gu Lu and the three of them, raised his head, and looked into the eyes of Gu Lu and the three of them.

The eyes of Gu Lu and the three of them all seemed very calm, which made Shao Yuan feel a pressure invisibly.

"Let's get started. Gu Lu said with a smile, in a tone that please start your performance.

In the first part of the defense, self-introduction.

"Hello teachers, I am Shao Yuan from the first class of 2014, and I used to be a ......"

When Shao Yuan began to introduce himself, Gu Lu also lowered his head and looked at Shao Yuan's graduation thesis page by page.

Although Gu Lu had long since stopped expecting any papers written by a group of undergraduates, after a cursory scan, Gu Lu still had an urge to throw them in the trash.

No wonder before coming, Teacher Shi said to himself that he should not be too demanding of this group of senior graduates.

Indeed, according to Gu Lu's strict requirements, this graduation thesis is not at all up to the level of undergraduate graduation.

Gu Lu glanced at Teacher Shi silently.

As if sensing Gu Lu's gaze, Teacher Shi smiled at Gu Lu.

The defence continued.

At the end of the three-minute self-introduction session, Shao Yuan glanced at the three Gu Lu who were still expressionless, and started the next link nervously.

The next link is for students to elaborate on their graduation thesis as a whole with the help of PPT.

I don't know when Shao Yuan's hands have begun to tremble.

His trembling hand manipulated the mouse and clicked on PPY.

The first mean of the Rankin-Selberg L-function at a particular point

This is the title of Shao Yuan's graduation thesis.

It looks very lofty, but in fact, it looks like that in the eyes of Gu Lu and the others.

Shao Yuan began his exposition with the help of PPT, "In 1837, Dirichlet first introduced the Dirichlet L-function to solve number theory problems using analytical tools, which marked the birth of analytic number theory. ”

This research method has been greatly developed in the past 100 years and has become an important research method in modern number theory. Nowadays, L-functions are no longer limited to ζ(s) and Dirichlet L-functions, and objects such as modular forms or self-defending forms have their corresponding L-functions, and these L-functions promote the study of modular forms and self-defending forms......"

In more than ten minutes, Shao Yuan finished expounding the content.

The next part is the question session of the defense teacher.

Gu Lu and the three of them looked at each other and exchanged opinions, and finally Teacher Zhang and Teacher Shi looked at Gu Lu together.

"Teacher Gu, come on!"
