The reason why Qin Chuan felt that the atmosphere in the box was a little strange was because he suddenly found that not only had the box become very quiet, but the eyes of the other three people in the box seemed to be focused on him.

When he looked up, he saw that all three of them were looking at him with strange eyes.

Seeing Qin Chuan looking up at them, the two people sitting on the lower bunk opposite Qin Chuan smiled sheepishly. They were about to say something to explain. The middle-aged man in his forties wearing glasses who was lying on his side on the upper bunk

Although he was a human, he had already raised his body with one arm, raised his head and suddenly asked Qin Chuan in English.

"Sir, are you reading "Fundamentals of Probability Theory" by the Russian mathematician Kolmogorov?"

Qin Chuan nodded in surprise and replied in English, "Yes, sir, this is the book I am reading."

The middle-aged man got up from his seat on the bunk, switched to Mandarin, and tentatively asked, "Can you understand this mathematics book published two years ago?"

"Yes." Qin Chuan also answered affirmatively in Mandarin.

Qin Chuan has now determined that the three people looked at him strangely because he was reading an English book, and this man who looked like a scholar on the upper bunk had obviously read this book or knew about Kolmogorov.

He is a well-known mathematician, so he was even more surprised that Qin Chuan read such a professional and even very biased mathematics book at that time.

This person asked him what book he was reading in English, just to test whether he really understood English. But at this moment, he was shocked that this shockingly young student not only understood English, but could even understand such a professional and boring subject.

Mathematics professional books.

Qin Chuan smiled and said, "In layman's terms, probability is actually a question of possibility. If it is summarized in mathematical terms, it is a normal distribution question."

The normal distribution, also known as the Gaussian distribution, was mainly established and developed by the research theories of Laplace and Gauss, two great scientists in the 18th century. Laplace's "Analytical Probability Theory" and Gauss's "

Mathematical Statistics Theory" is the basis for the development of normal distribution.

The middle-aged man obviously knew something about the normal distribution. Then, the two began to talk about probability theory, but there were more and more professional terms in their conversation. Qin Chuan could tell from the conversation that the middle-aged man was just talking about probability theory.

I have some understanding of probability, but lack systematic theoretical knowledge.

As the conversation progressed, the middle-aged man became more and more surprised. Finally, he simply got off the upper bunk, sat next to Qin Chuan, and handed Qin Chuan a business card.

"I am a professor of mathematics at Shanghai St. John's University. My name is Bai Sijing. Our school would like to offer a course on probability theory. However, this subject is only a subject studied by mathematicians abroad. It is a cutting-edge subject. It is almost

No university is teaching this course, and we can’t find anyone to teach it now. I came to Hangzhou this time to ask Professor Su and Professor Chen, two academic leaders in our country, for help, but they didn’t.

Research in this area cannot help us. Today I am extremely honored to meet my husband. He not only has a profound understanding of probability theory, but also is knowledgeable. In front of him, Bai, a mathematics professor, is almost ashamed. Therefore, Bai takes the liberty of thinking.

I would like to ask you, sir, to teach at our place. What do you think?"

This time, Qin Chuan was surprised. St. John's University is the earliest modern university in China. Its teaching level is very high. Not only does it often hire professors and scholars from famous European and American universities to give lectures, but most of its courses are taught in English.

It can almost be said that it is a university that teaches entirely in English. This is the only university in China. At this time in China, it is definitely a first-class university.

Although this university has not yet been registered in China, the academic qualifications of this university are recognized in Europe and the United States, and even graduates of this university can directly study as graduate students in famous foreign universities.

In his previous life, Qin Chuan's status as a student in the mathematics department of a university was nothing at all in an era when undergraduates were everywhere. But at this time, the mathematics knowledge he mastered was enough to be a lecturer or even a professor in any university in the world.

.

We must know that many disciplines were in a period of great development during this period, and the same was true for mathematics. Many of the knowledge learned by later undergraduates at this time were still in the stage of system improvement, such as probability, combinatorial mathematics, and logical mathematics.

Moreover, if Qin Chuan can teach at St. John's University, he can not only teach the most cutting-edge mathematical knowledge in the country and make the domestic mathematics academic level develop better, but also can well conceal the source of the mathematical knowledge he needs to decipher the code.

flaw.

Seeing Bai Sijing's eager expression, Qin Chuan pretended to be surprised.

"Professor Bai, I'm just a recent graduate, how can I teach at your university?"

"Student!?"

Qin Chuan's words surprised the three of them again, and the middle-aged man sitting by the door on the opposite bunk said doubtfully.
Chapter completed!
