96: From Calculus to Cohomology

"Okay... okay then."

Shen Luoyan, after all, wasn't very good at handling interpersonal relationships.

If it were someone else, perhaps there would be many ways to refuse such a thing, and while refusing, not leave a bad impression on others.

At this moment, Shen Luoyan only remembered Guo Hao's advice to her on the bus.

In university, it's important to get along well with roommates, and the relationship with roommates is very important.

Therefore, she, who had hardly eaten outside in high school, agreed to go out for dinner with her roommates.

At this moment, although Shen Luoyan was very smart, she really couldn't think of a proper way to refuse Shao Ping's suggestion.

She could only passively agree to the matter.

"Wow! Luoyan! You're the best! Thank you! If this works out! I'll definitely treat you to a meal!"

Hearing Shen Luoyan agree, Shao Ping's eyes immediately lit up with excitement.

"Treating to a meal for what?"

Just then.

Wang Biyun finished washing up and walked out of the bathroom, asking Shao Ping with some curiosity.

"Nothing."

Shao Ping smiled, winked at Shen Luoyan, and then returned to her spot.

Wang Biyun was slightly puzzled.

But after all, they were just roommates who had just met and weren't very familiar yet. Since Shao Ping didn't want to talk about it, Wang Biyun didn't press further.

Zhao Yu also finished washing up and walked out of the bathroom.

"Everyone worked hard today, let's go to bed early tonight!"

Shao Ping said to everyone with a smile on her face.

After speaking, she returned to her bed.

Everyone went to bed, but Shen Luoyan didn't. At this moment, she also took out a Tongji version of Advanced Mathematics.

Like Guo Hao, Shen Luoyan didn't relax her demands on herself just because she was in university. On the contrary, because there was no financial pressure.

She studied even more diligently than before.

"Not sleeping? Luoyan?"

Zhao Yu looked at Shen Luoyan's actions, slightly puzzled.

"You guys go ahead and sleep."

Saying that, Shen Luoyan turned off the dorm lights, turned on her desk lamp, and continued to study.

She was a person who was very strict with herself.

One could even say she was harsh; without being harsh, there was no way she could have gone so many years, even without the thought of making friends, all for the sake of studying.

She had never given up on studying, because she had ambitions.

The girls in the dorm all saw Shen Luoyan's actions, and a hint of admiration appeared in their eyes.

No wonder, no wonder Shen Luoyan could become the top student in Gan Province despite having an average family background. This was simply an incredible feat.

Many people from privileged families found it difficult to score above 600, let alone reach the level of being the top student in Gan Province.

One must know that the environment has a significant impact on studying.

The next day.

Guo Hao woke up early.

He got up at 6:30.

After running for a while, he ate breakfast and went directly to the Library when the Yan Aviation Library opened at 7 o'clock.

Compared to the villa, there were quite a few people in the Yan Aviation Library in the morning, some even specifically waiting for the Library to open.

It seemed many were preparing for postgraduate entrance exams, or were postgraduate or doctoral students.

There were many people.

Guo Hao used the items he carried with him to find a secluded spot, occupied a seat first, and then went to the bookshelf.

His current gaze on ordinary books didn't yield a reaction.

But when he looked at books related to Mathematics or Physics.

A small line of text would appear above them.

Knowledge baseline not reached.

Or not suitable for the current user's level.

He could only search slowly.

Soon, the first book that met the knowledge baseline caught Guo Hao's eye.

"Basic Topology", authored by Mark Armstrong.

Topology...

In Advanced Mathematics, there is a certain theoretical basis for topology, but this book "Basic Topology" should contain more related knowledge.

Without hesitation, Guo Hao took the book down.

He continued to search for his targets on the bookshelf.

In his eyes, there were only books related to Mathematics and Physics. Actually, Guo Hao was a bit puzzled; his major was clearly Materials Engineering.

Theoretically, the correlation between Materials Science and Chemistry should be higher.

Why did the System give him tasks related to Physics and Mathematics books?

Although there is also a relationship between Materials Science and Physics and Mathematics.

Could it be that this is also a hint from the System?

Guo Hao was lost in thought.

Currently, throughout the world, Materials Science has always been in a predicament, known as 'Sheng Hua Huan Cai' (Biology, Chemistry, Environment, Materials).

The four major 'heavenly pits'.

Why are they 'heavenly pits'?

Because they are very difficult to solve, like a huge pit, burying too many geniuses and too much capital, so much so that many countries and institutions dare not invest too much in them.

Materials Science is one of them. Human materials have not been updated for a very, very long time.

The System is telling him to read Mathematics and Physics books.

Could it be reminding him that perhaps Chemistry is not the way out for Materials Science, but Physics and Mathematics are the ultimate way out for Materials Science?

Guo Hao was lost in thought.

However, these thoughts only flashed through Guo Hao's mind.

Thinking about these things now is meaningless. It's better to read more books first and enrich his brain!

Unlike the Gan City Library, the Yan Aviation University Library obviously had many more books and was more comprehensive.

Soon, Guo Hao found another book, which his eyes showed had reached the knowledge baseline.

"From Calculus to Cohomology"

It was a book related to calculus. Calculus is basically the first lesson in Advanced Mathematics, and it's also the first advanced math concept many university students are exposed to.

Since this book is on the System's knowledge baseline, it should provide a good expansion on calculus.

Without hesitation, he took it.

Guo Hao selected about six Mathematics books.

Besides the first two, there were also "Linear Algebra Done Right", "Ordinary Differential Equations", "Lie Groups and Lie Algebras", and "Basic Functional Analysis".

After finding the Mathematics books, Guo Hao went to the Physics bookshelf to find a few.

"Principles of Physics", "The Feynman Lectures on Physics", "Electromagnetism", "Mechanics", "Optics", "Heat".

He found a total of twelve books to start with.

Guo Hao returned to his seat, holding a thick stack of books.

The thick stack of books quickly attracted the attention of other students in the Library.

But after just a glance, many people withdrew their gaze.

For them, these were relatively basic books, just the quantity was a bit large.

He placed the books on his seat.

Guo Hao first picked up "From Calculus to Cohomology" and started reading.

The beginning was some relatively basic stuff. He had also self-studied "Advanced Mathematics" and had been exposed to calculus quite early.

Coupled with his IQ of over 230, his learning speed was naturally not slow.

In the blink of an eye, half the book was finished.

At 8:30 in the morning, Guo Hao saw a message in the group chat saying there would be a class meeting at 9 o'clock in Classroom 304.
