Chapter 75 Mathematics Doesn't Lie
Vice Principal Dai wasn't deliberately trying to pry into his privacy; rather, he wanted to use Lu Ming as a connection to solidify the relationship between the school and the two groups.
His current fear is that Lu Ming is very popular now, with tens of millions of fans, and that the two female chairpersons might have feelings for him.
Such a relationship is unstable; they might withdraw their investment in about six months.
After pondering for a moment, Vice Principal Dai pressed on, "Xiao Lu, with your network of connections, everything should be easy for you. Why did you decide to retake the college entrance exam?"
Logically speaking, with such a good relationship, they should definitely go into business together!
Lu Ming, a man of his age, could naturally guess what Vice Principal Dai was thinking, and explained with a smile: "It was an accident, actually. Because of President Mei's help, I was already financially independent a long time ago."
However, my relationship with my ex-wife is very complicated, so all my cryptocurrency assets are held in overseas trust accounts.
After the divorce, I didn't want to do anything, so I spent my days taking care of my friends' kids and tutoring a few of them in math olympiad. Gradually, I discovered that some of the top students were much worse than me.
Last summer, Mr. Mei, Principal Miao of Huarui Middle School, and I privately discussed setting up an account for fun to see if we could score 700 points. And that's how it ended up like this.
"Your situation is indeed quite interesting!" Vice Principal Dai felt that this made sense and was indeed very amazing.
Lu Ming's situation is truly rare. He played around all day during his student days and could have gotten into the Normal University with his eyes closed. He almost wasted his talent.
A score of 734 on the college entrance exam indicates exceptional intelligence in both the arts and sciences.
After chatting for a while and figuring out Lu Ming's "true" situation, Vice Principal Dai gradually felt relieved.
Only then did he take the two project tender documents and carefully review them. From the perspective of funding and targets alone, there were no problems.
In particular, the funding is generally quite ample.
After Vice Principal Dai finished reviewing the documents, Lu Ming gave a brief reminder: "These two projects are very important to the province. Mei Yanping has to report to the provincial leaders every month."
The provincial leaders decided to focus on developing Jiangtai Medical and Huaxin Motor, and to strengthen the research and development of innovative biological drugs.
As for President Han's intelligent textile center, this was an investment project that the province, through Mei Yanping, poached from a neighboring province, aiming to boost the development of the province's high-end textile industry.
all in all.
These two university-industry-research collaborative projects cannot be messed up.
"Xiao Lu, just tell President Mei and President Han that the school will definitely do its best and will arrange the best team to handle the coordination."
Vice Principal Dai knew that success was the only option; failure was not an option. He had to find the most suitable team within the school.
After saying that, he remembered something else and asked Lu Ming, "Could you help Professor Lin secure a project for me?"
"I'm in talks. It shouldn't be a big problem, but it's unlikely to be a major project either!" Lu Ming didn't know much about Professor Lin, let alone have established a relationship with him.
Whether he will ultimately stay with Professor Lin to pursue his doctorate is still unknown.
So, I'll definitely need to help bring in a project, but the pay won't be very high.
Vice Principal Dai didn't seem to care much about the size of the project and continued to say to Lu Ming, "Professor Lin graduated from our school's gifted youth program and then pursued his master's and doctoral degrees at MIT. After completing his doctorate, he stayed at MIT to do research."
Therefore, she is very capable, ranking among the top in China in some theoretical fields, but she is too idealistic and lacks connections in China, so she can't get many projects.
The research funding she secured from the National Natural Science Foundation of China is far from enough. I arranged for you to go there so you could help her. I even spoke with her about this yesterday!
"Principal Dai, I will do my best!"
Lu Ming cannot guarantee anything right now.
If he gets along well with Professor Lin and is certain that he can complete his doctoral studies under Professor Lin, then it won't be too late to put in the effort then.
These past few days, freshmen at Jiangsu University of Science and Technology have started their military training, and they're all basking in the sun on the large sports field!
After leaving Vice Principal Dai's office, Lu Ming did not return to his dormitory to attract hatred.
After careful consideration.
He could only report to Professor Lin's research lab first.
Professor Lin Xiaowei was recruited by the university from SUSTech, but ultimately it's because Lin Xiaowei herself was in a limbo at SUSTech, not doing very well, and lacked projects.
According to Vice Principal Dai, her current project was arranged with the help of the university and falls under the category of basic research funded by the National AI Engineering Fund.
As for projects for enterprises and institutions, there were none.
In addition, due to a lack of connections, foundation, and reputation at Jiangsu University of Science and Technology, Lin Xiaowei only recruited one doctoral student and two graduate students last year, both of whom were rejected by other doctoral supervisors.
Lu Ming arrived at the Institute of Intelligent Science, entered the east side of the second floor, and knocked on the door outside the laboratory.
Soon enough, Professor Lin Xiaowei herself opened the door.
Upon seeing Lu Ming, she asked with some surprise, "Have you completed everything Vice Principal Dai instructed?"
That's an exaggeration!
Shouldn't he be addressed as Principal Dai?
Why is it necessary to add the word "deputy"?
Lu Ming was slightly speechless, but still answered calmly, "It's nothing serious. It was taken care of yesterday, so there shouldn't be any problems."
He took the opportunity to carefully examine the doctoral supervisor in front of him.
Wearing a white lab coat, a light blue round-neck shirt, and light-colored jeans, and looking very young, she looked like a female graduate student.
"Oh, then come in. I'll give you a few questions to see your general level!" Lin Xiaowei gestured for Lu Ming to enter the research room.
According to Vice President Dai, this female doctoral supervisor, who graduated from the Jiangsu University of Science and Technology's gifted youth program and MIT's postdoctoral program and holds the title of "Changjiang Scholar," currently only has one project, which was applied for with the help of the university and belongs to the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology's AI Industry Basic Research Cultivation Project.
The mathematical mechanism and efficient reasoning of distillation and compression in a large-scale industrial lightweighting model!
The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology allocated 2.6 million yuan, and the school also helped bring in several state-owned enterprises in the province, with a total investment of less than 5 million yuan.
The funding is sufficient, but the manpower is really insufficient!
Fortunately, Lin Xiaowei is capable enough; she should be able to complete the task by supervising a few graduate students for two years.
The main process involves repeated calculations, repeated modeling, repeated computer verification, and corrections.
Lu Ming followed Lin Xiaowei into the laboratory and saw three senior female students. They were all decent-looking, but none of them could be considered particularly beautiful.
Because this female doctoral supervisor has no connections at Jiangsu University of Science and Technology, it is uncertain how many years she will stay. Doctoral and graduate students who are capable and in demand will not choose her.
Lin Xiaowei clapped her hands, signaling the girls to look over, and said, "I've already told you, this is this year's top scorer in the provincial science comprehensive exam, the one who repeated a year and scored over 730."
"Teacher Lu, we all know!" Several girls nodded with smiles.
Damn!
"Lu Daqi is really handsome!"
From now on, we'll be studying and doing research together every day, which will give us even more energy for work!
"You're all senior students, just call me Lu Ming!" Lu Ming was extremely embarrassed; these doctoral and graduate students were probably all under thirty years old.
"It's alright, I graduated from the Department of Mathematics at National Taiwan Normal University, so I'm definitely more than ten years younger than you!" The oldest female PhD student laughed.
"Alright then!"
Lu Ming could no longer refuse.
"Yang Xuan is your junior from our university. She graduated last year with a master's degree in Information and Computing from our school. Huang Danni and Zhao Jiayin also came from other universities for their master's degrees!"
Lin Xiaowei gave a brief introduction to the girls.
Their first degree was not from Jiangsu University of Science and Technology, or even a 211 university. No wonder they were rejected by other professors.
"Are they all junior girls from our Normal University?" Lu Ming had no choice but to abandon his status as the top scorer and use his first degree from Normal University to get closer to them.
Zhao Jiayin raised her hand and said, "Yang Xuan and I both graduated from the Normal University, while Huang Danni graduated from the Mathematics Department of Jiangxi University of Technology."
Oh!
Despite graduating from a 211 engineering university, the mathematics department of Jiangxi University of Technology is ranked lower than that of Jiangxi Normal University!
No wonder Lin Xiaowei didn't even want to mention the first degree of her students; it was indeed a bit embarrassing!
"Lu Ming, since you're repeating a year, I don't know your math level right now. Shall we do a few test questions first?"
Lin Xiaowei took a blue folder from the lab table, pulled out a few sheets of printing paper, and handed them to Lu Ming.
The first two questions, one of which combined multivariable functions and multiple integrals, were quite difficult, mainly because they were too convoluted.
To solve the problem, you must first start with continuity and partial derivatives, then the differentiability criterion and the derivation of double limits.
After carefully reading the question, Lu Ming felt that there shouldn't be any major problems.
The second question was of similar difficulty, but it tested concepts related to extreme numbers and inequalities, which are frequently used in machine learning probability analysis in AI.
Therefore, the first question is designed to test basic calculus skills and is roughly equivalent to the difficulty level of the National Undergraduate Calculus Competition.
The second question builds on this foundation and further examines Lu Ming's mathematical application skills within the field of AI.
The problem is not big.
The third math problem was different.
After carefully reading the question, Lu Ming knew it was at the Qiu Sai level, belonging to the mathematical analysis direction. It required the use of Taylor expansion and boundedness proof by contradiction, and it was also testing the mathematical application ability of functional analysis and model generalization theory in the AI major.
However, this is quite difficult.
He wasn't sure if he could do it.
Seeing that Lu Ming was staring at the third question with a furrowed brow, Lin Xiaowei immediately said, "You're fine if you can solve the first two questions, but none of them can solve the third one."
"Then I'll do the first two questions first!" Lu Ming simply put aside the third question, which he could actually solve.
It just takes a little more time.
But as a person, you shouldn't embarrass others, especially in unimportant situations.
The first two questions are common types in the National Undergraduate Mathematics Competition, and Lu Ming had done them countless times during the summer vacation.
In less than three minutes, he solved both problems in a row.
Lin Xiaowei, the female doctoral supervisor, is indeed not very good at interpersonal relationships or speaking, but she is very capable and insightful. Just by looking at Lu Ming's thinking and speed in solving the first two problems, she knew that Lu Ming could do the third problem.
Mathematics doesn't lie.
Only those with this level of intelligence and skill can tackle questions at this level.
