"Hello everyone, I'm Professor Hills, and I'm going to be in charge of your courses on algorithms and principles. ”

Professor Hills, who basically didn't have much hair, stood on the podium and looked at the people in the audience and said.

After yesterday's joy and familiarity with each other.

On May 25, Eastern time, Su Xiaomu and other people from all over the world who came to MIT for exchange and study finally started the formal course.

Looking at the professor standing on the stage, Su Xiaomu remembered his performance in that position yesterday.

Wrong......

It should be said that it is a manifestation of being forced to stand up.

Overall, I'm still relatively shy.

Not like at the closing ceremony of the ACM-ICPC Finals...... Riots.

The main thing is that it is not proactive enough.

Even the 64K Intro doesn't want to talk about it.

took the initiative to mention the Tisaoke network.

This is the love for the silly son, very deep.

As for whether the traffic will increase, this Su Xiaomu actually has no hope.

There is a big difference between Chinese and Western cultures.

In addition, Saoke does not provide automatic language translation services.

Even if it is a translation of common Chinese into common English.

Even if it is the two languages that Su Xiaomu is proficient in.

But Su Xiaomu still didn't do this.

Translation software, to tell the truth, is not easy.

On the contrary, if foreign users don't mind, they can use the translation plug-in such as translate that comes with the web page to automatically translate.

The accuracy rate is very low.

Another is that there are not many people in the collective that Su Xiaomu joined.

For the current Saoke.com, the traffic brought by dozens of people is insignificant......

Professor Hills on the stage continued with a smile.

"First of all, I regret to tell you that there is no special teaching content and lesson plan for the subsequent lectures......

"In other words, the orientation course I am responsible for does not have too many regular ......"

"I think you can understand that, right?"

At the end, Professor Shears grinned as he stroked his thinning hair.

There were a lot of 'complaining' voices in the audience.

"Professor, are you so irresponsible!"

"Oh my god, my brain hurts!"

"Luckily, this round of courses is not compulsory for us. ”

"It's not necessarily a bad thing that this kind of process also helps us to get into content outside of the normal curriculum. ”

"Fantastical, I like it!"

Some people complain on the surface, rejoice in their hearts, and some people are the same on the outside.

In fact, this teaching method is to take care of Su Xiaomu and other people who come to exchange and learn.

Of course, it will also take into account the original students.

This is partly at the expense of some of the students who originally took the course.

Because MIT's semester system is actually more accommodating for exchange learning. ①

To be honest, this exchange is an additional difference, and whether it's for South China Tech or MIT, the extension of the timeline may be something new.

Su Xiaomu just listened silently.

It doesn't matter if it's whimsical or anything else, as long as there is an exchange of knowledge, it's good.

Su Xiaomu never thought he knew anything.

It's like he's just not understanding why there's a little garbage system?

How was this retarded thing born?

How did you hide it in your own good-looking brain?

I don't know if CT and MRI can be photographed?

Professor Shears didn't talk too much nonsense, and after the opening remarks were brief, the formal lecture began.

"Okay, let's start the class. ”

Professor Hills took out a whiteboard marker and wrote an English word on the board:

Algorithms！

Algorithm.

"As we all know, the importance of algorithms is becoming more and more important day by day, and there is a more layman's saying that if you master algorithms, you will master the future. ”

Hills said unhurriedly.

"In my opinion, this layman's statement makes a lot of sense. ”

As he spoke, Professor Shears scribbled down the second line of words on the board.

Artificial Intelligence！

Artificial intelligence.

"As we all know, the CSAIL lab, the largest laboratory in our school, has very in-depth research in the field of artificial intelligence, and there is even news that it can already use artificial intelligence technology to predict the future in 1.5 seconds. ”

“……”

"Artificial intelligence is also inseparable from algorithms!"

Hills spoke eloquently.

Obviously, we are taking into account the exchange students from all over the world.

Because Hills doesn't know how many of the people in it have learned about the relevant news, and what the real level is.

To know......

In these years, exchange studies or study abroad often do not look at the grades, but look at the tickets.

Even the Massachusetts Institute of Technology is no exception.

After focusing the audience's attention through a few keywords, and hooking up everyone's interests, Shears will easily talk about some algorithms and principles.

Su Xiaomu, Yi Ran, and Chen Jiming did not have any additional uncomfortable points.

Because......

At South China University of Technology, in principle, all professional courses must be taught in English.

So first of all, there is no language barrier.

And there are places to get used to.

Merely......

Everyone underestimated Shears' explanations before class.

Because, when about a third of the way through the course, Hills's style of painting changed abruptly.

After habitually touching a handful of thinning hair, Shears suddenly said, "Okay, I'll give you an algorithm problem to solve a classic problem." ”

"It's not going to be the ones that can be seen on the Internet. ”

As he spoke, Hills smiled mysteriously.

"I think everyone here has heard of ACM-ICPC, which is almost as difficult as the finals. ”

"People can brainstorm ideas. ”

"Strive to solve this practical problem before the end of class, and become friends with the algorithm directly and simply. ”

Hills said as he operated a portable notebook in his hand.

Soon, everyone saw the algorithm problems projected onto the big screen.

"In the future, the questions in the class will be sent to your portable notebook. Shears explained.

That's the way it works.

Today's is an additional operation.

"Oh my God, what kind of complexity is this?"

"Knight Travel??? is this familiar name again?"

"It's a pity that it's new again. ”

"It's a bit difficult. ”

"I won't!"

Shears said casually: "You can say any idea, knowledge comes from communication." ”

It turned out that the best Louis took the initiative to say: "Professor, time is a little tight, let's try it first." ”

As he spoke, he beckoned everyone to try it.

Hills nodded.

The people in the classroom gathered together and chattered.

Sears' gaze turned to Su Xiaomu, who was the most dazzling in the crowd.

Coughed softly twice.

(1): If you are interested, you can learn that the semester system of many institutions of higher learning in the United States is different from that in China, and MIT is a little special, like what 4-1-4 or the like, two 4-month semesters and a 1-month mini-semester, this mini-semester is prepared for the convenience of exchange and learning.

PS: Tomorrow I will go far away, a total of 20, 21, 22 three days, very busy, may not be updated.
