The Most Popular Setting Right Now

Shen Qi crossed the finish line first, winning the 10,000-meter championship again!

"30 minutes and 40 seconds, this top student from the Mathematics Department of Yenching University is really good at running, winning two long-distance running championships." A reporter from a website exclaimed in amazement, and said to Chen Xiaoting next to him, "Xiaoting, aren't you his high school classmate? Why don't you go and interview this top student, the long-distance running champion surnamed Shen?"

"Okay!" Chen Xiaoting, fully equipped with her interview attire, jogged to the outside of the track and eagerly awaited her arrival.

The 10,000-meter champion has achieved another milestone, Shen Qi 15,000 academic points.

This time, he didn't stand her up; Shen Qi arrived in front of Chen Xiaoting as promised.

"Huff, huff." Shen Qi bent over, panting heavily. After the passion subsided, the fatigue intensified.

Chen Xiaoting felt sorry for Shen Qi: "Shen Qi, why don't you rest for a while?"

"No need." Shen Qi stood up straight, head held high and chest out. Although no one had provided a solution to satisfy the Navier-Stokes equations, nature solved the Navier-Stokes equations every time a real fluid made a flow.

The establishment and solution of equations occur in nature every moment, in an infinite cycle, but ordinary people can hardly fathom their true mysteries. This requires wisdom that transcends the ordinary and unparalleled determination.

Shen Qi looked up at the sky, filled with awe for nature and high expectations for mathematics, physics, and Mathematical Physics.

"You're daydreaming," Chen Xiaoting said.

"Oh." Shen Qi snapped out of his daze.

"Congratulations, Shen Qi, on winning two long-distance running championships at this Games!" Chen Xiaoting quickly got into the swing of things.

Shen Qi nodded. "Thank you."

"You study Mathematics Department. I heard you're a super high achiever?" Chen Xiaoting asked.

Shen Qi retorted, "Don't you know that? You also know where I went to elementary school. We went to the same elementary school, but we weren't in the same class."

"Hey, stop messing around!" Chen Xiaoting stomped her foot and turned off the recorder. "Boss, please cooperate with my interview. Just pretend we don't know each other. Actually, I don't have the authority to write articles. I haven't even graduated from university yet. I'm just running errands, collecting news materials, and then handing them over to my senior for editing. So the materials I collect need to look more formal and not too casual."

Shen Qi: "Alright, reporter, please get to the point and ask a few key questions. Don't dawdle."

Chen Xiaoting deleted the previous recording and restarted the recorder. "Which is more important to you, math or long-distance running?"

Shen Qi: "Mathematics is my major, and long-distance running is a hobby."

Chen Xiaoting: "Okay, long-distance running is your hobby, yet you've won two individual championships. What's your secret, Shen Qi?"

Shen Qi: "There's no secret to it, just running, exercising, and maybe even finding inspiration."

"That's quite interesting." Chen Xiaoting smiled, then asked, "Did you encounter any inspiration?"

"Yes, I call it a numerical comparison of several stabilization Finite Element Algorithm for the Navier-Stokes equations. Let's define it that way for now; it still needs further verification later."

"NS equation?"

"That is, the Navigator-Stokes equations."

Chen Xiaoting and Shen Qi asked and answered questions, pretending to be complete strangers, but it wasn't so easy to fake it. What started as a track and field interview unknowingly turned into an academic interview about mathematics.

In the audience stands, Zhou Yu'an keenly observed. "Shen Qi and this 1.8-meter-tall female reporter must have known each other before, right? It feels like they've known each other for many years."

Ou Ye also came to the sports meet today. She seemed quite happy when Shen Qi won the championship, but for some reason, she suddenly felt unwell.

After taking the medicine bottle out of her bag and taking two pills, Ou Ye's emotions stabilized slightly.

"They're having an affair. Shen Qi is having an affair with her." Zhou Yu'an had won a gold medal in the International Mathematical Olympiad and was a top student in the Mathematics Department of Peking University. His observation and judgment skills were not bad.

Ou Ye looked down at her own legs, then carefully studied Chen Xiaoting's legs and found that Chen Xiaoting's legs were really long; even female models had legs of that length.

"No wonder Shen Qi doesn't like Tan Lulu. So he likes girls with really long legs? Ou Ye, there's nothing we can do about it. Long legs are something you're born with; it's the most fashionable thing to have right now," Zhou Yu'an said to Ou Ye.

"Boring." Ou Ye turned and left without looking back.

After the interview, Shen Qi returned to the Track and Field team's rest area, where all his competition duties were completed.

While waiting for the award to be presented, Shen Qi wrote down a bunch of words and symbols in his notebook that only he could understand.

Mathematics is a very large discipline, and there are no all-around mathematicians in modern times, that is, genius-level mathematicians who have achieved outstanding research results in every branch of mathematics.

If there is such a thing, it must be God.

Shen Qi has obtained his bachelor's degree in the Mathematics Department, marking the end of his initial, superficial learning phase across the entire field of mathematics.

Now he must determine a main direction of research, make certain achievements in this branch of mathematics, establish its international and domestic academic status, and then make long-term plans.

Currently, Mathematical Physics seems to be a suitable direction, and it is also the direction that Shen Qi is happy to devote himself to.

Mathematical Physics can be explained in one sentence: it seeks mathematical explanations for physical phenomena.

It sounds simple, but it's quite difficult in practice.

Mathematics Department students studying Mathematical Physics often find this branch of study daunting.

Many Physics Department students who study Mathematical Physics have questioned the meaning of life, or are currently questioning it.

Understanding physical phenomena and mastering mathematical tools are fundamental.

Shen Qi believes he has a certain foundation in Mathematical Physics, and can try to find a breakthrough in this direction first.

An awards ceremony followed, where Shen Qi won two trophies, the 5000m and 10,000m championships.

After grabbing the trophy, Shen Qi rushed back to his dormitory at Yenching University to review physics literature.

"These books offer only a superficial explanation of the Reynolds Number, and the numerical comparison of several stabilization Finite Element Algorithm for the Navier-Stokes equations is closely related to large Reynolds Number." Shen Qi flipped through the physics materials in his dormitory, but found none of them what he was looking for.

Searching online for professional papers on the subfield of Fluid Kinematics, Shen Qi discovered that this subject was quite challenging.

It's time for a physics upgrade.

Shen Qi upgraded his physics skill to level 6.

Mathematics Level 8 (300,000/400,000)

Physics Level 6 (0/150,000)

Sports Level 5 (98/50,000)

English Level 4 (201/10000)

Chinese Language Level 3 (1503/5000)

Biology Level 3 (421/5000)

Political Level 3 (125/3000)

History Level 2 (827/3000)

Remaining Academic Points: 37249

The following day, Shen Qi and Professor Lu spent the morning exchanging ideas, and the paper "A Class of Bounded Analysis of Strong Singular Integral Operator Along Homogeneous Curves" was ready for finalization.

This paper is purely mathematical; it is an unfinished graduate project by Professor Lu.

Thanks to Shen Qi's efforts, the project was completed and is ready for submission.
