In the Gregorian calendar, as the new year is about to begin, the Chinese Mathematical Olympiad (National Mathematics Winter Camp for Middle School Students - CMO) held at the end of the year has come to an end.

A total of 15 people from Southeast Province participated in this year's Mathematics Winter Camp, of which 7 were from Huafu, accounting for nearly half of the participants in Southeast Province.

And what is even more gratifying is that this year's senior brothers and sisters of Huafu have achieved relatively outstanding results in the past three or four years.

Three of them won the national first prize and gold medal.

Among the three people who won the first prize in the country, two entered the national training team.

According to the students who are engaged in the number competition, entering the provincial team is a small god, entering the national training team, entering the middle god, entering the national team, and preaching the great god.

Entering the national training team means that you have the qualification to be escorted, and it is the qualification of the top universities in the country.

"There are two of them, one signed to be sent to Peking University, and the other signed to be sent to Tsinghua University." Xi Haoran, who is the most well-informed, spread the first-hand information he has in his hands.

For students like Lu Xi who are engaged in data competition, this kind of news is definitely happy to hear.

No, as soon as Xi Haoran said it, he immediately circled. Even those who don't engage in number competitions have all come up to watch the excitement.

The gold content of the Olympiad is the highest in the competitions of various disciplines, and everyone is interested in seeing the anecdotes of the big, medium and small gods.

In addition to listening to anecdotes, Lu Xi thought of a question, and she felt a little strange and asked: "Mathematics major, isn't the mathematics school of Peking University the best in the country, why did that senior brother go to Tsinghua University?" ”

She has been in the math competition tutoring class since then. From time to time, I can hear the ranking of mathematics majors among the students in the tutorial class among the major universities in the country. In this ranking. The Peking University School of Mathematics is not surprisingly the first. And it is the first that is unshakable without controversy.

Since she is engaged in mathematics, she does not read the first, but reads the second, which is what she does not understand for a while.

"Lu Xi, do you know, your question reminds me of a story, attention, it's a story. It's not a joke, because it's a real story of one of our senior brothers in Huafu. ”

Xi Haoran heard the doubts in Lu Xi's tone, and he told a story with a smile.

"That brother was an undergraduate at Cambridge University, and he also studied mathematics. One day, he asked his professor about a one-year exchange program at Cambridge and MIT, MIT. But do you know how his professor reacted when he listened to his advice? ”

"What will be the reaction?" Yu Youwei asked.

No one can imagine what the reaction will be, because in everyone's opinion, Cambridge is good, and MIT is not necessarily bad.

When he asked the question, his professor stared at him in horror for several seconds. Then he persuaded him in a serious tone not to go. Why can't you think of going to a place like MIT to do your studies? ”

As soon as this answer came out, everyone fell. In any case, no one could have imagined that the professor would react like this.

Hu Wenliang exclaimed: "This is all right, is it much worse than Cambridge to engage in learning, and you can't think about it?" ”

Xi Haoran shook his head and replied, "So, that senior brother revealed afterwards that MIT is the institution of higher learning that he has always dreamed of since he was a child. ”

"Oh my God, this world of God is not at all imaginable for us people." The brilliant Huang Xianfa exclaimed.

"I can't imagine it, so let's look up." Xi Haoran replied.

"By the way, that senior brother, since MIT is the institution of higher learning he has always dreamed of, why did he go to Cambridge again? If you can pass Cambridge, you can't pass the MIT? In the comprehensive ranking of global universities in recent years, these two universities seem to be similar, right? Yu Youwei asked.

"I can only say that by mistake, that senior brother went to the UK with his parents when he was a sophomore in high school, and then took the Cambridge exam there."

"Oh, I see. For me, I don't need Cambridge MIT or anything, it's good to be able to go to Tsinghua University and Peking University. ”

"In fact, the mathematics department of Tsinghua University has always been good, although it is not as good as that of Peking University, but it has developed very well in the past ten years. may not be able to catch up with Peking University in a short period of time, and it may be very good to send Tsinghua University. ”

"yes."

"In fact, there are some guys who are engaged in math competition, and math competition is just a key for them to enter a good university, and their interest may not be in mathematics. There are even people who are interested in liberal arts, and science is their stepping stone. After using science to enter the ideal university, I immediately abandoned science and chose liberal arts. Tsinghua University or Peking University, a multiple-choice question that cannot be measured solely by professional rankings. ”

"Lu Xi, if, I mean, if you have the opportunity to get the qualification to be sent to Tsinghua University and Peking University, which one will you choose?" Xi Haoran asked.

In Xi Haoran's opinion, among the people who are engaged in the competition this year, the most promising person to obtain the qualification to be sent to Tsinghua University and Peking University in the future is none other than Lu Xi.

"Peking University." Lu Xi did not hesitate at all, and gave his answer very neatly, "If you can pass the test." ”

"What about Cambridge and MIT?" Xi Haoran asked further.

"I don't know, so I don't know. Which of these two is better at math? Lu Xi said.

"There is no answer to this yet." There is a survey to have the right to speak, Xi Haoran's comprehensive ranking of Cambridge and MIT, the general impression is about the same, the specific mathematics major is better, it is unknown.

Of course, in the opinion of that senior brother's professor, Cambridge is undoubtedly the best in this world.

After Xi Haoran finished speaking, he thought about it, showed a sly smile again, and said, "But I know there is a good place to do mathematics." ”

"A good place to go?" Lu Xi frowned slightly.

A good place to do mathematics, she recognized Peking University in China, but she was confused abroad.

"Master of Paris."

"École Supérieure de Paris, French, why does the name sound so much like the University of Pheasants?" Yu Youwei said.

"Sure enough, as long as you don't understand it, when you hear this name, you subconsciously think it's a pheasant university."

"Very good school?"

"In mathematics, it is ranked at least in the top five in the world. The comprehensive ranking of this type of technical school in France is not high in the world, but the professional standard is not low at all. If you really want to use an analogy, you might as well put Caltech in. ”

……

Huafu participated in the CMO and won the first prize and gold medal, and one person who failed to enter the training team signed a line with Tsinghua University. This one-book line means that as long as the score line passes one in the college entrance examination, you can automatically enter Tsinghua University, and you can choose your own department and major, and it is okay not to continue to engage in mathematics.

As for the national first prize, two people won the second prize and silver medal.

One of them signed with Peking University and the other signed with Tsinghua University, but it is no longer a line, but a reduced score admission.

The remaining two won the bronze medal of the national third prize, one signed with the University of Science and Technology of China, and the other signed with Zhejiang University.

"It's really enviable, after entering the winter camp, even the worst third prize has 985 and 211, and the pressure of the college entrance examination has been instantly reduced I don't know how much."

"The pressure of the college entrance examination is great, but the pressure of the competition is not small, don't be crushed by the pressure of the Olympiad before the pressure of the college entrance examination arrives."

"Well, the pressure of the number competition is indeed not small."

Southeast Province has a large number of participants and a deep tradition of digital competition, and the competition on the road to digital competition has always been fierce. Thousands of troops crossed the single-plank bridge, which is even worse than the college entrance examination. If you are not very talented, it is very difficult to get a good result.

And what is a good result, at least to enter the provincial team and win awards in the winter camp.

Don't look at this year, next year's league preliminaries are in June, and the main competition is in September.

Really calculated, what can be used to learn Olympiad mathematics, bits and pieces, I don't know if there are two, three, three or four months.

When Xiang Yu and Liu Bang both saw Qin Shi Huang's guard of honor, Xiang Yu blurted out that he could take his place; Liu Bang muttered and said, "Wow! The big husband should be like this! So, Lu Xi, are you going to replace it, or should the husband be like this? Xi Haoran asked.

"Xiang Yu failed to replace him, so it should be the eldest husband, oh no, Lu Xi is a girl, so the little woman should be like this." Before Lu Xi could answer, Yu Youwei said it first.

The good results of the senior brothers and sisters in the second and third years of high school stimulated Lu Xi and the first year of high school reserves, who were also engaged in mathematical competition, and encouraged them to persevere and study hard. (To be continued......) R1292
