Proof of the Existence of Solutions

Afternoon.

Arriving in the classroom just as the bell rang, Lu Zhou glanced at the packed room and gave a simple, clear opening remark with a smile before beginning the first Computational Materials Science class of his life.

Strictly speaking, Computational Materials Science was not a required course for applied chemistry majors. The mathematical knowledge and programming foundation involved were still somewhat too difficult for undergraduates.

However, with the development of computer technology, Computational Materials Science had become increasingly prominent. Coupled with Lu Zhou's position as a founding figure in this emerging discipline, the course had been forcibly stuffed into the specialized electives—and it was even a mandatory one.

After all, Jinling University had been around for so many years, and Lu Zhou was its only Nobel Prize winner. If Lu Zhou had not stopped them, they would probably have erected a statue of him already.

Still, the university had overthought things.

Even without the "mandatory" designation, he would not have needed to worry about nobody showing up for his class.

The people seated in the classroom were not merely Jin University students. There were even academic aces who had taken the subway over from East University to sit in, as well as professors researching theoretical chemistry, nanomaterials, and other fields. Although most people would complain on social media afterward that it was "too hard" or that they "couldn't understand it," the vast majority had actually listened carefully and taken notes...

After putting one hundred and twenty percent of his energy into the class, Lu Zhou left the classroom amid applause.

Standing in the hallway, he checked his phone. Seeing that it was still early, he turned and headed to the School of Mathematics office.

When he arrived, several of his students and assistants were already there.

Although he had
