Chapter 199

The scores for the final exam are given item by item.

The mood of the students was like a roller coaster, rising and falling.

At the end of January, the results of all final exam courses for the freshman mathematics department will be released.

There are five examination subjects in total.

Bi Qi’s scores in five subjects are:

College English:95

Ideology and moral character:96

Advanced Algebra:100

Mathematical Analysis:100

Analytic Geometry:99

Regarding the fact that analytical geometry was one point short of a perfect score, Bi Qi had been complaining for a long time.

He believed that the reason why he was deducted was most likely because he forgot to write down the solution to the last question.

This made him even more upset.

I even have the urge to buy a piece of tofu and kill me!

At the same time, he also lost the opportunity to be selected for the Yanda Special Scholarship.

It can be regarded as an unwritten rule. As the highest scholarship in the school, only one person from each grade in each college is allowed to participate in the selection.

Not to mention comparison with other majors in the same grade in the same college, only within the Applied Mathematics major of the class of 2017, Bi Qidu is not ranked first in the major.

Bi Qi's total score in the five subjects was 490 points.

In previous years, this was the number one score among majors.

But this year, Bi Qi only ranked second with 490 points.

The person ranked first among majors is none other than Ma Zhengxuan.

Ma Zhengxuan ranked first among the majors with a total score of 492!

At the same time, this score is also the highest score in the mathematics department in the past five years.

Why do you say in the past five years?

Because the session six years ago was the session that Gu Lu was in.

That time, Gu Lu ranked first in his major with a perfect score of 500 points, and easily won the special scholarship to Yanda.

Before the campaign for the special scholarship began, Bi Qi withdrew from the competition.

It would be a lie to say that I am not disappointed.

But if you lose, you lose. If you win again next time, there is nothing to say.

Besides, he lost to Ma Zhengxuan, not to anyone else.

Bi Qi privately chatted with Ma Zhengxuan on WeChat.

Bi Qi: "You pushed me down again. Hey, when will you let me be on top again?"

Ma Zhengxuan: "It's just two points behind. I'm just luckier."

Bi Qi: "I guessed it right, you are humble again. Humility is a good thing, but you can't be too humble. Sometimes, you have to be high-profile!"

Ma Zhengxuan: "Oh."

Bi Qi: "When you run for the special scholarship next semester, you will have to face many talented students from various colleges at YSU, so you have to keep a high profile!"

Ma Zhengxuan: "I...I haven't decided yet whether I want to run for the special scholarship!"

Bi Qi: "Participate, of course you must participate! In terms of background, although we are not as good as those senior seniors, it does not mean that we are worse than them!"

"And, most importantly, the amount of the special scholarship is 15,000 yuan per person. This money is enough for you to work as a tutor outside for several months!"

"Besides, we can't lose Teacher Gu's reputation. We brothers and I are no longer qualified to run. Only you have the chance to continue to advance!"

Ma Zhengxuan was moved by Bi Qi, "Well, I will run for election!"

Bi Qi: "I will help you. If the two of us work together, a special scholarship will be within reach!"

Ma Zhengxuan: "Yeah. By the way, when will you return to Haicheng."

Bi Qi: "It is estimated that it will take until the end of the year, but the specific timetable for the US competition has not been released yet. I hope it won't happen during the Chinese New Year."

On New Year's Eve, other people reunited with their families to have New Year's Eve dinner and watch the Spring Festival Gala. They stayed in the computer room and worked hard to build mathematical models and run programs.

That feeling is so refreshing just thinking about it!

Ma Zhengxuan: "I will go back to school on the third day of the new year. Maybe I can meet you in the dormitory then."

Bi Qi: "Come back on the third day of the Lunar New Year? You came back so early."

Ma Zhengxuan: "I signed up to participate in the National College Student Mathematics Competition and will need training after the year."

The National College Student Mathematics Competition is the most popular college student mathematics competition in China.

The number of participants is naturally not as high as that of the high school mathematics league, but the quality and level of the participants is indeed much higher than that of the high school league.

Bi Qi: "It's a college mathematics competition. If I hadn't signed up for the competition, maybe I could have participated with you."

Ma Zhengxuan: "I also signed up for this competition on the recommendation of Teacher Gu after entering the exam week."

The National College Student Mathematics Competition is held approximately in mid-March every year. Gu Lu originally asked Ma Zhengxuan to participate in this competition just to give him some exercise and to test his learning results.

The college student mathematics competition examines many professional contents. In addition to the three basic courses studied in freshman year, there are also two courses, "Functions of Complex Variables" and "Ordinary Differential Equations", that will be involved in the college student competition.

However, Ma Zhengxuan has not learned these two courses yet, so he needs to rely on Ma Zhengxuan's self-study ability.

Bi Qi: "It's not bad to participate in this competition. If you can get a first prize, your ability to compete for special scholarships will increase by one point! Come on, compete and come back with a first prize!"

Ma Zhengxuan: "Yeah! I will. You also have to work hard at the US competition and get the O award!"

Prize?

Bi Qi smiled bitterly and exited the WeChat chat interface.

At first, he was a newborn calf who was not afraid of tigers, so he signed up to participate in the American competition as soon as he got excited.

But as he continued to prepare for the US competition, Bi Qi clearly realized how insurmountable the O-prize in the US competition was!

From the stories told by his seniors, Bi Qi knew that of the 70 or 80 teams that participate in the US competition every year at Yanda, generally, only one team can win the O award!

Sometimes, there isn't even one at all.

Is Bi Qi's team strong enough to rank first among all seventy teams?

It can’t!

By comparison, Bi Qi believes that the strength of their team can only be ranked around tenth among all the teams from YSU participating in the US competition.

Any freshman might have been satisfied with this position, but not Bi Qi.

His goal has never changed from beginning to end, and that is to win the Grand Prix!

Not winning the O Award means almost nothing to Bi Qi!

But now, there is only one month left, and Bi Qi knows very well how far away he is from winning the O prize.

"Teacher, what do you think I should do?" Bi Qi asked Gu Lu for help on WeChat.

The answer given by Gu Lu was very simple, with only three words, "Go crazy!"

Bi Qi understood immediately.

He glanced at the row of Shenbao drinks neatly arranged on the top of the desk and stuffed them all into his school bag.

Then, Bi Qi made a call without hesitation. It was one of his teammates on the modeling team.

"A Liang, call Yunfei up and bring four days' worth of food. We'll go to the computer room tonight!"

"What are you going to do?"
Chapter completed!
