Chapter 38 of the thesis passed on the first attempt?
Lu Feng walked out of the mathematics department office building.
He folded the competition notice, stuffed it into his pocket, but his mind was racing.
Mathematical Modeling Competition.
He had only heard of this thing in his previous life, but had never actually come into contact with it.
As the name suggests, this competition is centered around mathematics, but it is by no means just mathematics.
Lu Feng took out his phone and typed "previous college student mathematical modeling competition questions" into the search bar.
The page redirected, and a series of titles popped up.
"Analysis of Best Operating Strategies for Urban Taxi Services"
"Optimal tilt angle design for solar photovoltaic panels".
"Optimization of gene sequence alignment algorithms."
Lu Feng clicked on several links and quickly browsed through them.
Just as he expected.
None of these problems can be solved by simply using pen and paper.
They all require abstracting complex real-world problems into mathematical models, then using computer programming to perform massive data calculations and simulations to ultimately find an optimal solution.
Modeling, programming, and writing papers—all in one.
He is confident in his modeling and papers, and in his programming skills...
Lu Feng slowed his pace.
In his previous life, he worked in a factory for more than a decade, dealing with CNC machine tools and writing code like a pro. But that was completely different from real computer programming.
One involves filling in parameters within a fixed framework, while the other involves creating a completely new logical world.
Although there are similarities, the gap between them is by no means easy to bridge.
No, this weakness must be addressed.
He cannot tolerate himself failing at any stage, especially at such a crucial juncture where he can gain a lot of learning value.
"Let me borrow two books to study first."
With that thought in mind, Lu Feng didn't hesitate at all. He turned around, took a step, and started walking back towards the library.
The lights on the second floor of the library were still bright, but most of the people had already left.
Lin Wan had just slung her canvas bag over her shoulder and was about to turn off the computer at the management desk and leave work when she looked up and saw that familiar figure walking up the stairs again.
She was completely stunned.
Is this person a spinning top? How come they've spun back again?
Lu Feng walked straight up to her, his face showing some apology.
"Senior, I'm sorry to trouble you again."
Lin Wan looked at him, then glanced at the clock on the wall; the hands were almost pointing to 9:30.
She sighed, resignedly put the canvas bag back on the table, and pulled out a chair to sit down.
"So, what do you want to borrow this time?"
Lu Feng didn't say anything, but turned around and quickly walked towards the computer science bookshelf.
Lin Wan craned her neck curiously, watching Lu Feng wander among the rows of bookshelves filled with "C++", "Java" and "Python".
What is he doing...?
A few minutes later, Lu Feng returned to the control panel carrying three books that were even thicker than the three electromagnetism books he had read before.
"Smack."
The three books were stacked together and placed on the table with a dull thud.
Lin Wan's gaze slowly moved downwards.
C++ PrimerPlus.
Introduction to Algorithms.
"MATLAB from Beginner to Expert".
Lin Wan's mind went blank with a "buzz".
She raised her head and looked at Lu Feng with the eyes of someone looking at an alien, her voice trembling slightly.
"You...you're...planning to learn programming?"
"Yes, that's right," Lu Feng replied matter-of-factly.
"I've recently become quite interested in programming and plan to learn it on my own."
"After all, one is never too old to learn."
You'll live to old age, my foot!
Lin Wan felt like she was going crazy.
Mechanical engineering, mathematics, electromagnetism, and now computers.
Is this person planning to be an entire college all by himself?
"Um... junior..." Lin Wan's fingers trembled slightly as she typed on the keyboard, "You... you're learning so much, can you keep up?"
"It's alright, time is like that, you can always squeeze some out if you try."
Lin Wan fell silent.
She silently picked up the book, entered the number, and completed the registration.
She felt that her worldview had been repeatedly shattered countless times by this freshman named Lu Feng within this week.
How can I take the postgraduate entrance exam if this is the case?
While other freshmen are already taking four courses across different majors, I'm still scratching my head over a quadratic problem.
The difference between people is truly greater than the difference between people and dogs.
Ugh, can we move him out? He's way too much.
Back in the dorm, Zhang Wei and his friends probably went out to play basketball.
Lu Feng neatly stacked six thick books in a corner of his desk, making his desk feel like it was turning into a small library.
He pulled out a chair, sat down, and turned on the old laptop.
The boot speed is as impressive as ever.
While the computer was spinning, he opened the book "C++ Primer Plus".
"Hello World".
Upon seeing this classic line of code, Lu Feng's thoughts seemed to be transported back to another time and space.
Just then, the computer finally booted up to the desktop.
The email icon in the lower right corner is flashing tirelessly.
New email?
Lu Feng clicked on it casually.
The sender's name made him pause for a moment.
It was a string of English words followed by the name of the journal.
Mechanical Systems And Signal Processing.
Has he received a reply to his paper?
Lu Feng's heart skipped a beat.
How long has it been?
Could it be that the initial review was rejected?
It seems that rejection is the norm.
He opened the email with some trepidation.
The email content was entirely in English and formatted in a very official manner.
He skipped over the polite greetings and focused on the most crucial sentence.
Dear Mr. Lu,
We pleasure to inform you that your manuscript,
"A Research on a Strongly Nonlinear Dynamic Model of Gear Systems Based on Fractional Calculus and Multi-scale Perturbation Method", has been accepted for publication without revision.
(Dear Mr. Lu: We are pleased to inform you that your manuscript, "Research on Strongly Nonlinear Dynamics Model of Gear System Based on Fractional Calculus and Multi-Scale Perturbation Method," has been accepted and requires no revisions.)
At the end of the email, the editor-in-chief's autograph and a warm comment were also included.
"An absolute masterpiece! This paper will undoubtedly bring a revolutionary breakthrough to the entire field of mechanical dynamics.."
(An absolute masterpiece! This paper will undoubtedly bring a revolutionary breakthrough to the entire field of mechanical dynamics.)
Lu Feng stared at the line "accepted for publication without revision" on the screen and froze in his chair.
Hired.
No modifications are needed.
Really, that's how it is?
It feels a bit unreal; it actually passed just like that.
Lu Feng leaned back in his chair, his mind flashing back to the painful experience of his past life, where he was tormented by reviewers seven or eight times in order to publish a paper in a core journal, until it was so bad that even his own mother couldn't recognize it.
The difficulty in writing a paper is never in writing itself, but in revising it. Sometimes it's normal to revise a paper more than ten times.
In comparison, he could only lament that the overwhelming power of knowledge is the ultimate form of violent aesthetics.
This is what real enjoyment is all about.
