Just turned over a new leaf and became a wise and intelligent student

Chapter 107 How did I become a scholarly tycoon? (13)

"Probability theory and mathematical statistics? Applied stochastic processes? Theory of stochastic processes?"

Xu Qingshan listened to the man on the phone who claimed to be Professor Chen Dayue, the director of the Probability and Statistics Department of the School of Mathematics at Peking University. His words were as turbulent as the torrent of the river, and he was quite interested.

"Professor Chen, I just happened to be studying on my own recently. If it's convenient for you, could you tell me about the progress of undergraduate mathematics training at Peking University?"

Although it was listed in the materials Zhang Jincai gave to Xu Qingshan, Xu Qingshan still wanted to listen directly to a director-level professor from the School of Mathematics at Peking University.

"Oh?"

Chen Dayue raised his head and looked at Zhang Jincai, a smile appeared on his face.

"How about this, I'm calling you from Lao Zhang's phone now, which is not convenient, and since you're the one calling, the call charges on your end are expensive. So, let me leave your contact information, and I'll call you back when I get back to my office, and then we can continue to contact each other, how about that?"

Xu Qingshan naturally didn't know the situation on Zhang Jincai's side, so he agreed without thinking.

Chen Dayue raised his eyebrows at Zhang Jincai.

Zhang Jincai had a strange look on his face.

"Okay, stop being so hypocritical. Show me Qingshan's paper again to see how his mathematical thinking is."

Chen Dayue confidently asked Zhang Jincai for Xu Qingshan's paper.

"Don't be stingy. Every year when recruiting students, I always give you my raw Pu'er tea cakes. Look at the past two or three years, not many students from the School of Mathematics are willing to take the initiative to come to our Department of Probability and Statistics. It's all your fault."

Chen Dayue muttered and asked Zhang Jincai for a favor.

Zhang Jincai was completely speechless.

"Here, here, here. Go and see for yourself."

Zhang Jincai handed the information bag to Chen Dayue and rolled his eyes at him.

"You blame me, isn't that your problem with probability statistics? I can't get an academician, I can't find a job, it's hard to get awards, and it's hard to write papers."

Zhang Jincai didn't know much about mathematics, but he was somewhat concerned about the situation in the School of Mathematics.

"Why is it hard to write? Look, I've been writing all the time, haven't I? After all, it's still developing. We don't have as many people working on complex variables as we do. Besides, it's hard to find a job. In the future, in the Internet age, even if students of probability and statistics don't do academic work, they can still be good at computer science."

"Then why don't they just study computer science? Don't they want to?"

"I don't want to bother with you. You are a philosopher who doesn't understand the beauty of our mathematics. I'm going to look at the test paper."

Chen Dayue and Zhang Jincai quarreled for a few words, and Chen Dayue looked at Xu Qingshan's paper carefully.

I even looked at his papers for other subjects and interview records.

The more he looked at it, the happier he became. He glanced at Zhang Fuxi from time to time and nodded approvingly.

Xiao Zhang is a lucky star.

Until Chen Dayue excitedly got Xu Qingshan's contact information and ran back to his office with Zhang Fuxi.

Zhang Jincai was still standing by his desk, holding a teacup in his hand, muttering with a strange expression on his face.

"I've seen people eager to become someone's wife, but today is the first time I've seen someone eager to give someone free guidance."

He drank some water and rinsed his mouth, but didn't spit it out.

"Forget it. Old Chen is pretty good anyway, so let's use him first. Anyway, we still need to find someone to help contact Old Wen."

Zhang Jincai is a teacher at the School of Marxism.

The thing that the School of Marxism has the most is students, so he couldn't understand Chen Dayue's misery.

Every year, there are students from all walks of life and all subjects who want to be admitted to the School of Marxism at Peking University.

As for why?
It’s good to change clothes.

Xu Qingshan was actually a little confused.

Although Uncle Jincai did say that he would provide him with more resources so that Xu Qingshan could better understand various subjects and then choose his future direction.

But Xu Qingshan didn't expect it to happen so soon.

He hasn't finished reading the several textbooks on progressive complex functions.

It's time for self-study class.

Xu Qingshan received a message from Chen Dayue and wanted to chat with him when he was free.

Xu Qingshan was respectful. This was a teacher who came here on his own initiative to be taken advantage of for free.

"Hello, Director Chen."

"Hey, what's the title when you're studying? Just call me teacher."

When Chen Dayue thought of the thinking and logic demonstrated by Xu Qingshan, he was overjoyed and even spoke in a friendly manner.

"Okay, Mr. Chen."

Xu Qingshan did not stay in the classroom for self-study class, but sat on the playground with his mobile phone.

"From what I've seen in the training program and curriculum given to me by Uncle Jincai, the basic subjects to be learned in the School of Mathematics are: mathematical analysis, advanced algebra, geometry, probability theory, complex variable functions, real variable functions, ordinary differential equations, and abstract algebra, right?"

Xu Qingshan now has the book on complex functions.

"Yeah, that's pretty much it. These are the basics."

"Teacher, I am currently studying complex functions. Do you have any suggestions for my next course or major?"

"Hey, you asked the right person."

Chen Dayue thought it was a good idea. "The courses in this major, like probability and statistics, normally cover a lot of subjects. The core of probability and statistics is the two courses I teach, Applied Stochastic Processes and Applied Stochastic Analysis, which are very suitable for laying the foundation of our three subjects of mathematics, physics and computer science."

"In terms of major, you also need to learn mathematical statistics, measure theory, functional analysis, partial differential equations, topology, differential manifolds, mathematical models, set theory and graph theory. In fact, probability statistics can not only lead to pure mathematics, but also to applied mathematics. It cannot be simply defined as probability statistics is all applied mathematics."

"I'm not bragging. Those old guys in the Physics Department have to ask me for help from time to time. I know a little bit about general physics, theoretical mechanics, and statistical physics. I'm at the level of an ordinary director of the Mechanics Department of a Physics Department. It's not bad."

Xu Qingshan was stunned when he heard this.

Isn't it an introduction to the subject?
Why did you start bragging?

Director Chen doesn't sound like he is particularly reliable, but he does have his merits. He loves to communicate and is good at communicating, which makes him very suitable for freeloading.

If Chen Dayue knew what Xu Qingshan was thinking, his heart would probably break into eight pieces.

But he continued to speak enthusiastically at this time.

"It's enough for you to master these in your undergraduate studies. If you are also interested in probability theory and mathematical statistics, I think you are very suitable to study for my master's degree. I will personally guide you from the undergraduate level, just like my previous disciple Ding Jian. I have recommended him to study for a doctorate with Perez, Yuval Perez, who is also an expert in this field."

"Graduate courses are more in-depth. You have to learn advanced probability theory, advanced statistics, stochastic process theory, stochastic analysis, functional analysis II, selected lectures on stochastic processes I, modern partial differential equations, introduction to Riemann geometry, probability limit theorems, and modern time series analysis. If you don't have a teacher to guide you, it may be difficult for you to study these courses on your own, but you can take a look at them first to see if you are interested."

Chen Dayue's enthusiasm almost overwhelmed Xu Qingshan.

However, Chen Dayue didn't really talk about the key points that Xu Qingshan wanted to know.

"No, Mr. Chen, with so many courses, I can't find the key points for now. I am still quite interested in probability theory, but do you have any recommendations for me to study?"

Xu Qingshan asked again, and Chen Dayue suddenly realized.

I was so busy showing off how much I knew and how I could teach everything that I forgot about the original question.

"That's it."

Chen Dayue thought for a moment.

"I personally recommend that you read Probability Theory in the first stage. After you finish reading it, I will give you a test. If you can get full marks, you can continue studying. In the second stage, study Applied Stochastic Processes, Real Variable Functions, and Mathematical Statistics. Study these three subjects simultaneously and take the test together. Then in the third stage, study Measure Theory and Functional Analysis. After you finish studying and taking the test, you can move on to Advanced Probability Theory and Functional Analysis II. Finally, study Stochastic Process Theory. In this way, you can basically lay a very solid foundation in probability theory."

Speaking of which.

Chen Dayue's imagination was already running wild.

If Xu Qingshan follows the training plan he recommended, then he can still be my student of probability and statistics? And he can still be my disciple, Chen Dayue?
This is sure!

This high-end game has been won!

"You will have a good foundation and will have been in school for quite some time. I will teach you Stochastic Analysis and Advanced Statistics, and take you to more seminars, symposiums, and conferences. I guarantee that you will be able to write valuable papers soon, and you will be able to stay at Kyoto University and teach there easily."

Chen Dayue not only imagined it, he also said it.

They were still thinking about continuing to make promises to Xu Qingshan, but Xu Qingshan just smiled after listening and remembered the learning route that Chen Dayue mentioned.

Professor at Kyoto University?

For ordinary academic masters and ordinary people, this kind of honor may be regarded as the pinnacle of life.

But he is different.

He has his own ideas and his own route.

"Okay, thank you, Mr. Chen. I'll go buy these textbooks. Will the version of the textbooks be the same as ours from Peking University?"

"Oh, no need to buy it, I'll send it to you. The last thing I need is teaching materials. I'll send you copies of my handouts and some materials. Feel free to study and ask if you don't understand."

Chen Dayue is full of confidence.

He was so proud of himself for having managed to snatch Xu Qingshan, a promising young talent, ahead of time that he forgot himself for a moment.

"It's okay. Even if you don't come to the School of Mathematics or our Department of Probability and Statistics when you arrive at Peking University, you are still my student, Chen Dayue. If you need anything, just ask. As long as you can make some achievements, I will be satisfied."

At the level of Chen Dayue and others.

In fact, in academia, unless it is a major breakthrough that can win the highest award, they have no shortage of papers even in top journals.

There is no shortage of fame, money, or achievements.

What is lacking is to bring out the sense of accomplishment in the disciples.

"Don't worry, no matter whether I go to the School of Mathematics or not, I, Xu Qingshan, will be your student for the rest of my life."

Xu Qingshan is also a good talker.

These words made Chen Dayue feel itchy.

We chatted for a while and then hung up.

Xu Qingshan was sitting on a stone bench in the playground, looking at the quiet and beautiful Longjiang Experiment Station, and suddenly he laughed.

I got another Peking University department head for free.

Moreover, in the current situation in the Chinese academic circle, there are two major university cliques: Peking University and Huazhong University of Science and Technology.

After Chen Dayue said this, Xu Qingshan had already been accepted as a disciple of the School of Mathematics of Peking University even though he had not yet enrolled.

so.

Xu Qingshan looked at the clouds floating across the sky.

Hey, how come I have become a school tycoon in the time it takes me to make a phone call?
Although this statement was not entirely accurate, Xu Qingshan did feel it was somewhat strange.
