Chapter Thirteen: Astonishing Mathematical Genius

  At 7:50, when Liu Meng, Dongdong, Deng Jinyu and Cheng Chen entered the tiered classroom, they were all startled by this scene. The room was packed with people, and there were only a few scattered empty seats in the last row.

  The schedule for Classes 1-4 of the Electrical Department's "Higher Mathematics" is from 8:00 to 9:30, while Classes 5-8 are from 10:00 to 11:30. It's obvious that a large number of students from Classes 5-8 have come early to attend class.

  Bookworms, unwilling to wait for even two hours.

  A few people could only scatter and find seats to sit down.

  Gu Pan and Zheng Wen sat in the front row, chatting in a low voice. Zheng Wen said: "I heard from my dad that our Higher Mathematics teacher Kong Jidao is very good at lecturing, he's the most famous professor in our school's math department, and he even told me to listen carefully. This morning at 6 o'clock I got up to occupy seats, almost didn't get the first row."

  Zheng Wen's father is a teacher in the mathematics department of H University.

  "Really? I've heard that he's iron-faced and notoriously strict, making students write homework assignments after every class, which must be handed in before the next class. These questions are newly compiled every year and can't be found anywhere, those who have taken his class all complain bitterly." Gu Xian replied in a low voice.

  Two people sat beside Lao Ma, this dead ** was the only male in the first row, and Jiang Wei Xin was the only male in the second row.

  Cheng Cheng was texting his wife He Qín while glancing ahead and caught sight of the two people from their dormitory.

  Only to see Old Horse sitting upright, his eyes fixed on the front, truly without a care in the world. Then he saw Jiang Wei Xin and a girl next to him chatting enthusiastically, bumping into Liu Meng who was sitting beside him. Cheng Cheng said with some annoyance: "Look at our dormitory's two ***, like a green dot in a sea of flowers, this is the first time Jiang Wei Xin has been so enthusiastic about chatting with a girl next to him in class."

  Liu Meng followed the direction that Cheng Cheng was pointing, and also saw Jiang Wei Xin. Wasn't the person chatting enthusiastically with him none other than Li Yue, who was about to become his girlfriend? The two of them quickly became close after school started, but he didn't expect it to be to this extent, and this was only their first class.

  Li Yue this girl is quite plump, but a bit fat. After the passionate period was over, Jiang Wei immediately became disgusted with her. This girl really has perseverance, every day she only eats a few cucumbers and successfully loses weight to have a proud S-curve. It's hard not to say that this girl is cruel to herself and also cruel to her boyfriend...

  The entire tiered classroom was in an uproar, the academic elites were all excited, a slovenly old man walked in with a book clutched in his hand, stood on the podium, and suddenly the whole classroom fell silent, this is what it means to have presence.

  "Classmates, I am your 'Higher Mathematics' teacher, Kong Jidao. The importance of this course doesn't need to be mentioned, because if you don't even know that much, I think you don't need to attend my class." This old man spoke in a calm and unhurried tone, with a strong and powerful voice.

  "My class, you can sleep, snore, fart, or not come to class at all. I won't take attendance either. Your usual grades are in the homework assignments after each class. Alright, no more nonsense, let's start class. You young people's time is precious."

  Kong Jidao finished speaking and began writing on the blackboard with a brush, his handwriting was extremely fast.

  Liu Meng listened attentively for ten minutes and knew that the old man was indeed good at teaching, starting from the basics and gradually deepening. He wondered why he hadn't noticed how well the old man taught before, and instead had spent most of his freshman year struggling with the endless homework assignments.

  This "Higher Mathematics" is indeed very difficult. Liu Meng has been very talented in mathematics since he was a child, and when he was a freshman, he spent a lot of effort but only understood half of it.

  Fortunately, I systematically studied it during the postgraduate entrance examination and even specialized in researching random number theory statistics and distribution, uncertain functions, power spectrum analysis, etc. when doing scientific research and writing papers, and even established a wind speed model that was difficult to grasp and published a paper.

  He was further evaluated as one of the students with the deepest mathematical attainments in Jianghai University at that time, except for a few big cow teachers in the mathematics department.

  Then Liu Meng stopped attending classes and continued to think about "Hui Ming".

  。。。。。。。。。。

  The night falls on the ice city, with a different kind of beauty. The students who have been studying hard all day don't feel tired at all, but are excited to attend the evening self-study session and start doing the exercise set of "Higher Mathematics".

  Class 3 and Class 4's fixed self-study room is Room 702, classmates are all seriously looking at books, digesting and absorbing the knowledge taught by Teacher Kong Jidao, doing their post-class exercise books, it started off not bad, but soon stagnated, frowning non-stop.

  "What does this fifth question mean, I completely don't understand?" Nobody knew who spoke first. Other classmates responded one after another, and a heated discussion about the question began, with everyone talking at once, their words sharp as swords.

  Of course, there are also people who did not participate in the discussion!

  Liu Meng took over the exercise book, sighed at Teacher Kong's question-setting level, which was absolutely meticulous and tested deep understanding. However, it wasn't difficult for him, so he wrote quickly and finished all the questions in about 10 minutes.

  He is confident that if it weren't for the convenience of omitting some intermediate steps, his answer should be identical to Teacher Kong's standard answer.

  "Your approach is incorrect, if you simply change the upper and lower limits of integration, it will have no effect."

  "It should be a proposition examining the integral relationship of odd and even functions."

  "If it were that easy, I would have done it a long time ago."

  "What's wrong with you guys, discussing issues and scolding people?"

  Top students have always been arguing about problems based on reason.

  "The noisy ones have big heads." Liu Meng, who was thinking deeply, said lightly: "Why don't you all take a look at mine? I've finished! Stop arguing!"

  Fortunately, Liu Meng's voice was not small, and the people arguing heard it. One of them took over the exercise book, took a look, and suddenly realized. "Right, right, it should be this way of thinking. Ah, why didn't I think of that just now?"

  After he said that, several classmates who had been arguing with red faces and ears also rushed to take a look, and after reading it, they all had an "I see" expression.

  These are all academic tyrants, just the angle of solving problems is not right, giving them the correct answer can make them think clearly about the key points immediately.

  The whole self-study room was even more boiling, scrambling for Liu Meng's exercise book. Soon one person finished copying it, and others took the two copies to pass on.

  It was too noisy, Liu Meng couldn't stay any longer. Taking advantage of everyone's rush to copy notes, he sneaked out and went downstairs to room 508 to play on the internet instead.

  Lao Ma was doing his homework, but he wasn't feeling right in his heart. The 5th question that everyone got stuck on earlier, he knew how to do it. He was thinking of finishing it first before speaking up, but unexpectedly Liu Meng beat him to it.

  In such a short time, Liu Meng has already finished writing it all.

  I'm shocked, I thought to myself, I'm a Kyoto University graduate who has studied for three years and even reviewed "Higher Mathematics" during the summer vacation after coming back to retake the college entrance exam!

  It was indeed the case that everyone basically copied Lao Ma's homework, and Lao Ma was the real academic overlord. Four years later, he was directly admitted to Shuimu University for a PhD, and at the end of his junior year, he received the highest level scholarship worth 10,000 yuan.

  Liu Meng can only envy, jealous and hate the fact that he initially wanted to make money by writing, but ended up not earning a single penny, and even spent a lot of internet fees.

  But now Liu Meng has arrived, and Lao Ma can only be a perpetual runner-up.

  Liu Meng arrived at the computer room, put on shoe covers, found his own machine, and started browsing the web to see if there were any other ways to make money. He opened Alipay, which was just starting to gain popularity for online shopping, but escrow transactions were not yet mature and bank online payment systems were not perfect.

  I slapped my forehead and thought to myself, how could I have forgotten about online stores? It's normal for an Alibaba store to earn over 10 million yuan a year after a few years, and there are many that earn tens of millions. Why not register several more online stores now, like clothing, electronics, cosmetics, etc., and first build up some credit before doing anything else.

  Liu Meng was immersed in a wave of excitement when someone suddenly patted him on the back, turned his head and shouted loudly: "Liu Ruyi, how is it you?"

  The girl, who was obviously startled by Liu Meng's sudden loud shout, was a bit bewildered. The other person had suddenly called out her name, but the person in front of her, she really didn't have much impression of him at all. "Uh... do I know you?"

  He couldn't help but blurt it out, Liu Meng didn't tell him that he had known her for ten years, of course, he knew she was called Liu Ruyi, and also knew that she had a twin sister who was retaking classes back in their hometown.

  The relationship between these two people is a bit complicated. Both are life committee members and have some intersections, but they really got to know each other at the entrance of 508. After going online, they chatted about martial arts together, and Liu Ruyi loves the world of martial arts.

  Almost all the martial arts novels, Liu Meng had also read them. The two chatted happily and he had some good feelings towards her. However, during the first semester of his freshman year, Liu Meng's thoughts were all on Gu Xuan, until the end of the semester when he was disappointed, and starting from the second semester, he began to think about pursuing Liu Ruyi.

  It's strange to say, but Liu Meng also felt that Liu Ruyi didn't dislike him, however she always kept a distance and was unwilling to take a step forward. Moreover, in the four years of university, he never heard her mention dating anyone.

  As for Liu Ruyi, I have to say that there is a slight regret. The two of them were once inseparable and talked about everything.

  Looking at the nearby Liu Ruyi, delicate and petite, round face, exquisite features, ear-length short hair, so cute. Liu Meng really wanted to ask her a question: why did you gradually distance yourself from me when I thought of pursuing you later? ... Rushing to the new book chart.
