Late at night on April 2, basically all the written examination papers had been approved, and the list of the top 50 master's students had been sorted out. There was a glimmer of light that such a job did not even require a school assistant. Chen Ya helps.

Because Qin Ke only recruits boys and Ning Qingyun only recruits girls, the top fifty list is naturally divided into boys' and girls' versions.

However, the question bank of the written test for boys and girls is the same. There are five questions in total. Each question is worth 20 points, and the full score of the test paper is 100 points.

Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun took a closer look at the two performance lists. No one could get full marks. The highest score among boys was 92 points. There were two people tied. One was a student of Yan University, their acquaintance Liang Shaoping, and the other He is a student from Eagle Country, his name is Luslan Baker, and he is a senior undergraduate student at Cambridge University.

It is not unusual for foreign students to sign up for their postgraduate entrance exams, because Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun have no restrictions on allowing foreign students to apply for their postgraduate exams. After all, Qingmu University has never refused the application of foreign students since its establishment. If they meet the registration requirements for graduate students at Qingmu University, college students from any country can register and take the written test on the morning of April 1st. As for what time zones other countries are in, and whether they can understand Chinese or English, Qin Ke has no control over it.

According to statistics from Qingmu University, although this recruitment has not been specifically publicized, about 20% of the candidates are of non-Xia nationality, including many students from prestigious international schools such as Princeton, MIT, Cambridge, and Harvard. Males Girls have them.

According to the proud insiders of Qingmu University, this proves that Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun have become extremely influential in the international mathematics community. Many students from prestigious universities would rather give up the opportunity to study for Ph.D. in their own schools and travel all the way to Xia Guolai to pay their respects. Qin and Ke were their teachers.

However, from the original intention of Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun, they still hope to cultivate more outstanding domestic college students. There are four postgraduate places. Qin Ke will only give one place to foreign students who are really outstanding to use for the catfish effect. , stimulate Xia Guo’s students to study harder, and also facilitate their integration with international standards.

Looking at the top ten male students at this time, there are actually four foreign students, while there are only six domestic students. If you look at the top fifty list, it would be even more exaggerated. There are thirty-two foreign students. There are only eighteen students in China.

You must know that foreign students only account for about 20% of the total candidates!

It can be seen that domestic students are still not comfortable with examination papers that require the comprehensive application of subject knowledge in various sub-subjects.

The only thing that makes Qin Ke feel more gratified is that among the Xia Guo boys who have entered the top fifty, in addition to his former Mathematical Olympiad partners who are already very talented in mathematics, such as Liang Shaoping, Sun Bingfei, Wei Yuyuan and other Yan university students, there are also Eight of them are students at Qingmu University, seven of whom are students in the elite class of Qiuzhen Academy, and one is a student in the Department of Mathematics.

This proves that Mr. Qiu's elite education method is relatively successful, and Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun have played a great role in teaching Qiuzhen Academy for more than a year.

In the girls' list, the results are obviously much worse than those in the boys' list, and the proportion of foreign girls is higher. Thirty-nine of the top fifty are foreign girls, and only 11 are girls from Xia Country.

Five of them are from the elite class of Qiuzhen Academy, and the remaining six are from famous domestic universities such as Yan University, Zhejiang University, and Aurora University.

Qin Ke was more interested in the list in Ning Qingyun's hand. Originally, there were fewer girls studying mathematics. Among the more than 500,000 undergraduate candidates this time, boys accounted for the majority, and the total number of girls was only about 10,000. It is estimated that nationwide

In the past two or three years, all female mathematics students from prestigious universities have signed up, and among them there are two to three thousand foreign female students.

Qin Ke wanted to see if there were any girls in China who were particularly good in mathematics besides Ning Qingyun.

"Hey, this first place is pretty good."

The first place is a senior undergraduate named "Liu Honglan", who scored 87 points in the exam, ranking among the top ten even among boys.

Pulling up the registration information, there is a resume on it. Judging from the photo, she is an ordinary girl who looks very unremarkable. She wears thick glasses and wears very simple clothes.

I went to elementary school and junior high school in a rural area. I came to the city in high school. I took part in the Mathematical Olympiad, but only got the silver medal and the last place. I couldn't go to Yanda, and later went to the mathematics department of Zhejiang University. This girl is obviously very interested in mathematics.

In addition to participating in the Mathematical Olympiad in high school, I participated in several mathematics competitions in college, including the Mathematical Modeling Competition, Qiu Competition, and the National College Student Mathematics Dream Cup.

After reaching the first grade of National Science and Technology, I participated in the Qiu competition last year and even won the individual all-around gold medal. In addition, I published an academic paper on number theory in a core domestic mathematics journal.

Considering her educational background in primary school and junior high school, it can be seen that she is a science girl who has accumulated a lot of experience and is extremely talented.

There is also a sentence written in the resume: "I was born in a poor and backward mountain, and I look very ordinary, but I hope to be like Academician Ning, go to the world's mathematics stage and show the beauty of mathematics to the world."

Qin Ke asked Weiguang to search the Internet for Liu Honglan's information, and found that many people on the Internet were also paying attention to her excellent results in mathematics. Some even called her "Zhejiang University's version of the weakened Ning Qingyun."

Qin Ke couldn't help but smile and said: "Honey, this Liu Honglan is better at number theory and partial differential equations. She should be the most suitable disciple for you."

Ning Qingyun also looked through Liu Honglan's information and was quite emotional. She had been paying attention to the project developments of the Qing Ning Student Aid Foundation, and she naturally knew how big the gap was between the standards of schools in mountainous areas compared with those in the city: "This girl doesn't

Easy, as long as the interview isn't too bad, I'll make the decision."

There is also a girl who got fourth place in the examination. She is from the elite class of Qiuzhen Academy. Her name is Sun Xiuya. She is quite pretty. Unfortunately, she suffered burns on her face when she was a child and has a relatively large scar, even after laser removal.

After the operation, if you look closely, you can still see the mark left. Because of this mark, she has never had a boyfriend. However, this girl is optimistic by nature and does not feel inferior because of her appearance. She smiles brightly and studies well.

Work hard and be ranked among the top three in the elite class for long-term results.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! What left a deep impression on Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun was that in the thesis exam she submitted last semester, the level of the paper she submitted was quite high, with only minor revisions.

After two attempts, the manuscript was successfully submitted.

"This Sun Xiuya should be fine. She has good eloquence, a solid foundation, and is excellent in all aspects. She counts as one. For the remaining two places, we have to choose carefully and try to choose another girl from Xia Kingdom."

The interview process is critical, and it is not critical even if it is not critical. The written test can actually reflect a candidate's ability level. More than half of the boys and girls in the science department are not very good at oral expression, especially those in the mathematics department. Regarding this, Qin

Ke and Ning Qingyun have long understood that as long as they are good enough in the written examination, they will still relax some of the requirements during the interview stage.

Of course, if you are not among the top 50 in the written test, but perform exceptionally well in the interview stage, it is not impossible to counterattack through the interview.

Sun Bingfei, for example, only got seventh place in the exam this time. However, this kid was very eloquent and had strong overall abilities. Qin Ke was thinking about letting him occupy a spot.

The two of them looked at the list of written examinations for doctoral students. Among them, the number one male student was a student from the United States named Dirk Hill, a graduate student at Princeton University.

"Dilke Hill... Why does this name sound familiar? Where have you heard it before?" Qin Ke thought for a moment, and immediately called up the candidate's file. When he saw the photo, Qin Ke finally remembered it.

.

"It turns out to be him! Imo the gold medal winner for two consecutive years, the Asian who is very good at pen-turning."

Qin Ke was still very impressed by this Dirk Hill. After all, the two had a head-on confrontation. The other party was a little provocative towards him at first, but later they became somewhat sympathetic to each other. In Imo back then, Dirk Hill

·Hill's results were the same as Ning Qingyun's, both got full marks and tied for second place, second only to Qin Ke.

But after that time, Qin Ke never saw Dirk Hill again. Then when he looked at the resume that Hill filled out when he signed up, he realized that Hill later went to Princeton and completed the degree in just four years.

Undergraduate and graduate students. I just graduated this year. My supervisor is Andrei Okenkov. This is a Fields Medal winner. He has also won the Sloan Research Award, the Parker Foundation Award, and the European Mathematical Society Award. He is a concurrent

A master of mathematics who is proficient in many fields, especially algebraic geometry.

Hill received full scholarships from Princeton for both undergraduate and graduate studies, which only students in the 1% can get.

"This guy is very powerful. Why doesn't he continue to follow Andrei Okenkov at Princeton and come to Xiaguo to take my doctoral student recruitment exam?" Qin Ke was dumbfounded. He didn't think he was a leader in the international mathematics community.

His qualifications and status can surpass those of the older generation of great masters like Andrei Okenkov.

Ning Qingyun was also surprised, but Hill's resume did not explain the reason. Qin Ke spread his hands and said, "You don't want to challenge my written test questions, do you?"

Hill scored 96 out of 100 points on the paper, which is considered very good, but still far from perfect.

"Forget it, we'll find out during the interview. Maybe he came to take the written test just to have fun and won't come to the interview at all." Qin Ke ignored Hill and looked at the written test rankings of doctoral students. I checked all over and found that the list was similar to the written examination list for graduate students. Basically, foreign students accounted for the majority of the top 50, and they were all ranked high.

Qin Ke couldn't help but sigh: "Xia Guo's mathematics education has a long way to go."

Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun both have only two doctoral places. If they are admitted based on their test scores, they can only admit foreign students.

No one from Qiuzhen Academy was shortlisted this time because Mr. Qiu's elite class has only been running for five years, and no one has graduated from graduate school and met the requirements to apply for a doctoral degree.

Ning Qingyun clenched her fists and said: "No matter what, we have to give a place to Xia Guo." In the female version of the written examination results list for doctoral students, only one female candidate from Xia Guo from Yan University squeezed into the top ten. , and ranked tenth, which made Ning Qingyun a little disappointed, but she thought that it was precisely because the mathematics community in Xia State lacked talents that she should work hard to cultivate better talents.

Qin Ke figured it out: "I also think that for doctoral students, it is best to recruit one from Xia Guo and one from foreign countries. I have thought about it. We cannot close the door connecting the Xia Guo mathematics community and the international mathematics community. We can teach We have produced outstanding foreign students. When they return to China in the future, they will also look at our kindness and take more care of the students of Xia Guo. Increasing the seeds of such friendship will definitely help Xia Guo’s mathematics community to move towards internationalization. The advantages outweigh the disadvantages.”

Ning Qingyun thought the same thing: "Then it's settled. In this year's recruitment, one master's student and one doctoral student will be recruited from the foreign candidates, and three master's students and one doctoral student will be recruited from the Xia national candidates."

The two of them had discussed it, but they still carefully reviewed the top fifty papers in person before finally publishing the list in the exam.

…

As the list release time approaches on April 3, many candidates can't even sleep well and sit in front of the computer waiting for the shortlisted list to be released.

Liang Shaoping was also undecided. Although he thought he had done a good job and should be able to get more than 90 points, with nearly half a million competitors, including outstanding students from all over the world, Liang Shaoping was really not sure. stood out.

The other three boys in the same dormitory were also restless. Their answers were a bit bad, but they finally managed to fill up their answers. There was always a glimmer of hope in their hearts. What if they got lucky and entered the top fifty?

"The list has been released in advance!" someone shouted.

The fourth to seventh floors of this Yanda male dormitory building are all male students from the School of Mathematics. As long as they meet the registration requirements, they all took the written test. This shout immediately caused the dormitories on several floors to panic. More than a hundred people clicked on the list of candidates for the interview with trembling hands.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Liang Shaoping is no exception. His heart almost jumped out of his throat. After half a year of hard work and countless sweats, this moment was revealed!

When he saw his name appearing at the top of the list, Liang Shaoping was stunned, and then the huge surprise turned into heat flowing throughout his body!

Success!

He... finally succeeded!

At this moment, Liang Shaoping was so excited that he almost cried.

Others may just think that Qin Ke is very awesome, and being his student must be very prestigious and worthy of showing off, but Liang Shaoping knows that Qin Ke is really awesome, especially good at teaching students. Only by becoming Qin Ke's student can he have a chance.

Achieve your mathematical dreams and finally achieve outstanding results that surpass most people!

"Shaoping is so awesome. He tied for first place in the written test! It's amazing! As long as there are no big mistakes in the interview, it's almost certain that he will get a spot!" The three roommates in the same dormitory all failed without exception, but they succeeded with Liang Shaoping.

The promotion interview was more about envy and heartfelt congratulations. After all, Liang Shaoping was a good person. He shared his handwritten notebooks with everyone privately, and his efforts far exceeded those of others.

Everyone sees this, so who doesn’t feel like “I’m convinced”?

In another boys' dormitory two floors away, Sun Bingfei covered his face with a headache: "Ah ah ah, I only got seventh place. This time it's a bit confusing. Those foreign students are really amazing!"

In the dormitory next door, former Imo teammate Wei Yuyuan came over and said with a disappointed face: "Bingfei, I'm even worse. I only got twenty-ninth place in the exam and can only compete again next year. Hey, it's all my fault for being too lax! I'm too embarrassed to see him.

Brother Ke. Forget it, I won’t go to the interview, I’ll have to embarrass Brother Ke.”
