Chapter 315: The First Class After Becoming a Professor

After studying Sarot's data for a long time, Lu Zhou didn't calculate anything valuable from this limited data. Considering that the samples are still a few days away, he plans to reconsider the issue then.

As for now, he has another thing to deal with.

That's lesson preparation.

In contrast, teaching is his job......

Time flies.

With the arrival of Wednesday, Lu Shen's first number theory class in Princeton has finally begun.

Five minutes before class began, the classroom was packed, and even the hallway outside was quiet.

Not everyone took the number theory course, and many students who did not sign up for this course also sat here with backpacks.

It was as if the stage was made for him, and from the first time he stood in the lecture hall of Princeton, he left an extraordinary legend on this campus.

Even now, that silent report meeting is still talked about by the brothers and sisters who have been promoted to graduate school.

Everyone is curious about what kind of number theory lesson he will bring to this great god who has solved a series of prime problems from the twin prime conjecture to Goldbach's conjecture and is now standing here as a professor again......

In order to live up to this expectation, Lu Zhou made full preparations before class.

Even in order to make himself look like such a professor and not be mistaken for a student, he deliberately changed into a formal suit and put on a tie before coming to the classroom.

In fact, to evaluate it pertinently, excluding the part that is exaggerated by a good sense of self, Lu Zhou's own conditions are still quite good. In addition, it has been cleaned up a little, which adds a lot of points to the appearance.

When he walked into the classroom, many girls in the classroom looked at him with obvious interest in their eyes.

Just as a young female teacher will attract the attention of a boy, a young and handsome male teacher will be equally attractive to a girl.

Sitting in the back corner of the classroom, Vera blushed and quietly covered her cheeks with a book, hiding her unnatural changes.

However, no one noticed her small movements, and even if she did, she probably wouldn't care, after all, few people would associate this petite girl with her identity as a master and a teaching assistant, but it was a bit similar to a freshman who came to take classes.

Standing on the podium, looking back at the expectant eyes of the audience, Lu Zhou smiled friendlyly.

"Let me introduce myself, my name is Lu Zhou, and I am from Jiangling, Huaguo."

Writing this line on the blackboard and looking back at the students in the classroom, Lu Zhou continued in a relaxed tone, "Since it is our first time meeting, in order to deepen our understanding of each other, you can ask me three questions before starting class. ”

Perhaps they didn't expect the legendary land god to be so approachable, and the students in the classroom suddenly became excited.

A slightly darker-skinned male student with glasses raised his right hand.

"Professor, is it okay to ask any question?"

Lu Zhou smiled and said, "Yes." ”

The bespectacled student continued to ask, "May I ask Lu Zhou, who published a chemistry paper in Nature, is he the same person as you?" ”

Lu Zhou smiled and said, "If you are referring to the paper on modified PDMS films, it is indeed me who wrote it. ”

The classroom suddenly resounded with an exclamation of exclamation.

Although there have been such rumors before, not many people take them seriously.

After all, it is not uncommon to have the same name and surname in English-speaking countries, especially in the United States, where many "lazy fathers" who don't know how to name even give their names directly to their sons.

It is not uncommon for scholars to be proficient in both mathematics and physics, but it is indeed too rare for scholars to be proficient in mathematics and chemistry at the same time.

Now to hear myself admit it in person, it is undoubtedly to let all the rumors settle.

Not only that, but what is heard in the rumors is far less shocking than what I personally admit......

Sitting next to the bespectacled student, a white girl with long hair in a shawl couldn't help but be surprised.

"In other words, the royalties ......"

Lu Zhou coughed lightly and made a statement: "I won't answer the question about privacy, and even if you ask, it's just a waste of opportunity." ”

An Asian student cleverly changed the question: "Then I can ask, what was the first thing you bought with royalties?" ”

Many people looked at Lu Zhou with expectant eyes, waiting for his answer.

However, Lu Zhou's answer obviously did not respond to their imagination.

After thinking for a moment, he spoke.

"Strictly speaking, it's probably a research institute. In order to refine my theory of computational materials, I need experimental data to support it. ”

Hearing Lu Zhou's words, the classroom suddenly remembered the voice of disbelief.

A little fat man sitting by the window of the classroom whispered: "It's actually to buy a laboratory? If it were me, I would definitely buy a Porsche. ”

There are also malicious jokes: "I guess the professor must be lying to us, if it were me, I would definitely rent a villa with a sea view for ten days, and then call a dozen chicks......"

"Oh, Monroe, your mind is so filthy! I'm afraid that's why you can't find a girlfriend. ”

“……”

Looking at the classroom with a lot of discussion, Lu Zhou clapped his hands and said, "Okay, after all this nonsense, let's start the class, turn the book to the introduction, although I know that you have already previewed this part, but I still have to start from this place today......"

One student raised his hand and said, "Professor, there is one more question you haven't asked?" ”

"Let's talk about it after class, I am very disappointed by the two questions you asked," Lu Zhou said mercilessly, "Now, start the class." ”

Of course, the disappointment is only for those boring questions they ask before class.

In fact, after starting the class, Lu Zhou was quite surprised by the performance of these students.

A place where the world's most talented minds gathered, Princeton's students left a deep impression on him. Moreover, what impressed Lu Zhou especially was not their talent, but their concentration, as well as the depth of knowledge points in the pre-class preview.

Every knowledge point he talked about, they can quickly absorb it, and draw inferences from each other on this basis.

Although he did not deliberately speed up the pace of the lecture, half an hour passed, he still turned the book smoothly over the thirty or so pages, and no one was left behind.

At least he didn't feel it.

While teaching his own doctrine to these students, Lu Zhou is also silently learning from them.

These experiences may not be of much use to him, but he believes that one day they will come in handy.

In this focused atmosphere, the class gradually came to an end.

Closing the book, Lu Zhou simply assigned his homework, and then announced the end of class.

When he announced the end, the classroom burst into applause.

Lu Zhou also smiled and nodded to his students and walked out of the classroom.

Just as he was walking down the hallway and about to head downstairs, Professor Feverman came out of nowhere, came over to greet him, and said with a smile, "It seems that you are quite popular with the students, how do you feel?" ”

Professor Feverman, chair of the mathematics department at Princeton University, is a Fields Medal-winning but humble person who has good relationships with many people, including Lu Zhou, of course.

Lu Zhou said with a smile: "I feel very good, the students here are excellent, and I personally feel a sense of accomplishment as their professor." In addition, it is also very beneficial for me to think about some basic questions once in a while. ”

Feverman was slightly surprised by Lu Zhou's statement, and then said with a smile: "I'm glad you think so, I hope this job can inspire your research." ”

Lu Zhou said happily: "It will be." ”

……

In the office, Vera was sitting upright in her seat, carefully sorting out her class notes.

Seeing Lu Zhou walk in, she immediately stopped the pen in her hand and trotted up with a notebook.

Looking at Vera who came up, Lu Zhou asked in a relaxed tone, "How do you feel?" ”

Vera's expression was a little troubled: "It feels difficult...... Teaching and research are two completely different things. ”

"You're right, but the two can often be combined organically," Lu Zhou took the note from her hand, glanced at it twice, and nodded with satisfaction, "It seems that your understanding is good, and the next class will be handed over to you." ”

"Next class?" Vera's expression was slightly flustered, and she whispered, "But...... I'm not ready. ”

"You have a week to prepare, it's not very difficult for you," returning the notebook to Vera, Lu Zhou cast an encouraging look at her, "I'm sure you can do it." ”

Gradually, Vera took a deep breath and said energetically, "I'll do my best!" ”

"Well, come on."

After encouraging the little girl, Lu Zhou returned to his desk and sat down, turned on the computer and checked his mailbox.

I saw an unread email lying in my inbox.

The sender is the mailroom of Frick Labs.

Sarote's package, it seems, has arrived......
