134: Academician Jiang's question

In the entire Material Class One classroom, there was complete silence.

No one spoke, it was terrifyingly quiet.

Professor Huang had expected this long ago, he wore a smile on his face, looking at the many students before him.

"It's normal not to understand. The Riemann function is something that Mathematics students usually only encounter in their second or even third year. It's very difficult.

You don't need to know it now, you just need to understand it a bit, as an extracurricular expansion."

Phew!

The students in the classroom all breathed a sigh of relief.

Good thing we don't need to know it! We just need to understand it as an extracurricular expansion. If we had to learn this thing, it would be really troublesome!

Many of them haven't even fully grasped calculus yet!

"Professor, can I go back to my seat now?"

Guo Hao hesitated slightly and said to Professor Huang.

"Mm! Go back! Wait for me after class later!"

Professor Huang smiled and said to Student Guo Hao, who was standing to the side.

"Okay!"

Guo Hao nodded.

Soon, the advanced mathematics class ended.

Students left the classroom in twos and threes. As they left, everyone couldn't help but glance at Guo Hao, their gazes exceptionally complex.

They were all first-year students, why was he so awesome?

Guo Hao followed Professor Huang to his office.

"Professor Huang, what's the matter?"

Guo Hao looked at Professor Huang curiously and asked.

"The 2013 Qiu Chengtong College Student Mathematics Competition, are you going?"

Professor Huang smiled slightly and asked Guo Hao.

"Uh... Isn't that only for students in their second year or above...?"

Guo Hao was stunned for a moment.

"Which undergraduate student in our school do you think has better Mathematics ability than you?"

Professor Huang retorted to Guo Hao.

It seems... there really isn't...

"Alright!"

Guo Hao didn't dwell on this matter.

At this point, Professor Huang continued speaking to Guo Hao.

"Also, from now on, you don't have to attend my classes. I will talk to Wang Ming about it. At your current level, attending my class is a waste of time."

"That's not true..."

Hearing Professor Huang's words, Guo Hao felt a little embarrassed.

He really did think that way, but being told so by Professor Huang, he felt a bit awkward.

"Alright, with your level, attending such a basic Mathematics class is indeed a bit difficult for you. As for the final exam, you'll still take it normally. This is a school regulation, I can't change it."

Professor Huang said to Guo Hao.

"Understood!"

Guo Hao nodded.

"Alright, that's all."

Professor Huang smiled and said to Guo Hao.

"Okay, thank you Professor Huang!"

Guo Hao nodded.

Saying this, Guo Hao left Professor Huang's office. Just as he was feeling grateful for Professor Huang's open-mindedness.

"Student Guo Hao!"

counselor Wang Ming walked up to Guo Hao somewhat anxiously.

"What is it? counselor?"

Guo Hao looked at Wang Ming somewhat inexplicably.

Why is it that every time he sees this guy, this guy looks anxious when he sees him? It's really...

"The President wants to see you! Come, follow me!"

Wang Ming led Guo Hao and hurried to the President's office.

Wang Ming gently knocked on the door.

"Come in!"

The President's voice came from inside the door.

Guo Hao and Wang Ming walked into the office together.

"President, Student Guo Hao is here!"

At this moment, Guo Hao finally saw the situation in the office clearly.

President Huai was sitting on a chair with a middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man looked somewhat familiar.

Guo Hao looked at the middle-aged man next to him with some curiosity. At this moment, the middle-aged man's gaze also fell on Guo Hao, and the two sized each other up for a while.

"Student Guo Hao, come over! Wang Ming, if you don't have anything else, you can go out first and close the door."

President Huai said to Wang Ming.

"Okay President."

After Wang Ming left, Guo Hao walked up to the President and the middle-aged man.

"This is Academician Jiang Lei!"

"Academician Jiang, this is Guo Hao!"

President Huai introduced the two separately.

"Hello Academician Jiang."

Guo Hao quickly greeted Academician Jiang Lei.

"Student Guo Hao, I've heard about your remarkable talent for a long time!"

Academician Jiang Lei said with a smile on his face, looking at Guo Hao.

"Everyone is too kind."

Guo Hao quickly said humbly.

"Come, sit down, everyone, sit down!"

President Huai smiled and motioned for the two to sit down.

Just after sitting down.

President Huai said to Guo Hao, who was next to him.

"Academician Jiang Lei was working on a research project abroad a while ago and just returned in the last couple of days. We had decided earlier to let you study with Academician Jiang Lei for a period of time. In the future, you can apply to be his graduate student.

In his Laboratory, you can first experience what it's like to work with Materials Science."

Hearing President Huai's words, Guo Hao nodded.

"I heard that Student Guo Hao has amazing Mathematics talent, but I didn't expect you also wanted to work with Materials Science. I'd like to see if you have talent in this area."

Academician Jiang Lei said with a smile on his face, asking Guo Hao.

"Come, tell me first, what are your views on Materials Science?"

"Academician Jiang, the direction I favor is Computational Materials Science. I've always believed that the future of Materials Science is very likely to be established through extremely precise algorithmic models.

I study Mathematics diligently precisely so that materials can be calculated and made precise!"

Guo Hao roughly explained his idea.

"A good idea."

Academician Jiang Lei smiled slightly.

"Currently in the Materials Academic Circle, there are indeed quite a few people who believe that Computational Materials Science is the future. However, this school of thought has never been very prosperous; there are even few famous figures or renowned papers. Do you know why?"

Academician Jiang Lei calmly asked Guo Hao.

"I don't know."

Guo Hao was slightly taken aback.

"Because of precision."

Academician Jiang Lei looked seriously at Guo Hao before him.

Guo Hao looked at Academician Jiang Lei, puzzled.

"Materials Science, after all, is a subject that needs to be implemented practically. No matter how good your data is, how excellent your models are, or how precise your Mathematics figures are.

In actual production, too many problems always arise. Things that are too precise cause too much trouble in reality. In the process of establishing Mathematical models for Computational Materials Science, it is affected by too many problems in Mathematics and Physics."

Therefore, although this discipline depicts a very bright future for Materials Science, this future is based on the foundation that Mathematical tools are sufficiently developed and that Mathematics as a whole can take another step forward."

Academician Jiang Lei pushed up his glasses and smiled as he asked Guo Hao.

"After hearing so much from me, are you still planning to pursue Computational Materials Science?"

"Of course!"

Guo Hao didn't hesitate at all.

From the paper given by the System, Guo Hao saw many things.

Many of the problems Academician Jiang Lei mentioned, in Guo Hao's view, were actually the advantages of Computational Materials Science!
