Chapter 686

Gu Lu did a rough count.

This time, there are almost two hundred students from home and abroad who are interested in choosing him as their tutor.

Too many.

After reading several resumes, Gu Lu had no patience to continue reading.

What a waste of time!

Moreover, the contents on the resumes were similar, but based on this, Gu Lu could not judge the specific mathematics level of a certain student.

It would be more troublesome to conduct interviews one by one.

Gu Lu is currently focusing most of his energy on the construction of a unified theory of geometry, algebra and topology, and has no spare time at all.

Come up with a question!

After thinking for a long time, Gu Lu decided to use the simplest and crudest method.

After more than ten minutes, Gu Lu came up with a set of test questions and sent them to the more than 200 students via email.

Five questions, ranging in difficulty from graduate level to doctoral level.

The content of the examination covers various fields of mathematics, but in Gu Lu's opinion, they are all very basic questions and not very difficult.

One of the conditions for becoming a doctoral student is to answer all five questions correctly.

Therefore, when many graduate students received Gu Lu's email, they thought that Gu Lu had agreed to accept him as a student. However, after opening the email, the smiles froze on their faces.

Then, he hurriedly took out the paper and pen, lowered his head and wrote quickly.

Gu Lu's time limit for answering questions is three hours.

Three hours later.

Graduate students who have completed answering questions complained about it on domestic forums.

"Damn it, what kind of fairy question is this? It's really too difficult!"

"Professor Gu is worthy of being the person who asked the questions for the college entrance examination. The quality of the questions is really too high!"

"I'm just a master's student from an ordinary 985 university, saying that I have given up struggling!"

"When I was doing these five questions from Professor Gu just now, it reminded me of the fear I had when I was dominated by IMO competitions. No, strictly speaking, that fear is even worse than when I participated in IMO."

"I only answered four out of five questions, so I guess I'm out of luck, alas!"

"Stop showing off, boss, okay? I only know two questions, and the remaining three questions are all blank. I estimate that in the face of Professor Gu's test paper, anyone who can answer four questions correctly should be able to enter safely.

Let’s move on to the next link!”

"(wry smile) I'm really not showing off. You may not know. This time, Professor Gu was chosen as a doctoral supervisor. Not only our domestic students, but also many foreign graduate students. In China, you can answer four questions correctly. Maybe

It’s pretty good, but if you look at the whole world, it’s not good enough! [Cry loudly] [Cry loudly]”

"Ah, there is competition from foreign students. Uncle Gu, this is too popular!"

"That's not true. I heard that many of these foreign students are top students from top universities such as Princeton and MIT!"

"The competition is too fierce, rbq, rbq!"

…………

Gu Lu asked the four Bi Qi who were currently idle to handle the work of marking papers.

That night.

Bi Qi sent the review results of the test questions to Gu Lu.

203 test papers.

In the end, only six people answered all five questions correctly and received full marks.

in.

Two are from China and four are from abroad.

This year,

Gu Lu still wants to recruit two doctoral students.

Because there were too many people, Gu Lu was worried that he would not have time to teach carefully.

then.

It becomes a matter of choosing two out of six.

That night.

Gu Lu sent an email to these six students, stating that a video interview would be held tomorrow.

…………

The next day.

After the video interview.

After measuring the overall level of the six people, Gu Lu finalized the final list of two people.

Gu Yu, graduated from Tsinghua University with a master's degree in algebraic geometry.

Guy Polk graduated from MIT with a master's degree in number theory.

One man and one woman.

One is domestic and one is foreign.

Gu Lu was very satisfied with the performance of these two people in the video interview just now.

Especially the girl Gu Yu.

Although girls do not have an advantage when studying pure science subjects such as mathematics.

But this girl is extremely talented in mathematics.

I am only 21 years old this year, but I have already graduated from Tsinghua University with a master's degree.

and.

Gu Yu, who just finished his master's degree, already has two papers in SCI area 1 in his hand.

Same as Yanda’s Bao Zi.

The old proverb of Tsinghua University also has the title of "genius math girl".

It stands to reason.

Tsinghua University should be clinging to a mathematical genius like Gu Yu and refusing to let him go.

But nothing.

The performance of Yanda University next door in the international mathematics community has been too outstanding in recent years.

I was in the country before.

The mathematics department of Tsinghua University can barely compete with the mathematics department of Yanda.

And now.

The two are no longer on the same level.

This year's QS World University Rankings.

Yanda’s mathematics department has ranked 16th.

The Tsinghua Mathematics Department is still struggling with the number of students in the 30s and 40s.

As the old saying goes, she is Gu Lu's little crush.

In addition, the leaders of Tsinghua Institute of Mathematics are sensible people.

I understand that entrusting Gu Lu to teach the ancient proverbs is the most appropriate choice.

then……

After hesitating.

He gritted his teeth and agreed to Gu Yu's application to become Gu Lu's doctoral candidate.

No surprise.

The ancient saying was chosen by Gu Lu.

The excellence of Guyu is not inferior to that of top students from famous foreign universities.

Gu Lu has no favoritism whatsoever.

Gu Yu was really selected by Gu Lu based on his hard power.

…………

The number of doctoral students has been finalized.
