Chapter 231 Dean, I Want to Write Textbooks! (2-in-1)

After the topic about Project 973 came to an end, the conversation between the three people also ended quickly.

The two directors personally sent Chang Haonan out.

Song Jian looked at the latter's figure disappearing around the corner and said with emotion:

"The waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead... The little comrade Lao Du found is indeed extraordinary."

Until now, the shocked look on his face still hadn't completely faded away.

Ding Gaoheng turned his head and glanced at his old friend next to him:

"When I first met him, his behavior was similar to yours. I will gradually get used to it later."

The latter reached out and brushed the white hair from his temples, and shook his head gently:

"I'm old... my ability to accept new things is poor, and I can't keep up with young people like them..."

"There is no need to think this way. According to my observation, Xiao Chang's situation should not represent the average level of young people today. We old guys still need to shine."

"If you really want to talk about it, a strong young man will make a country strong. I hope there are more young people like this..."

The two sat back on the sofa in the conference room while chatting, and they didn't seem to have any intention of leaving.

After a while, Song Jian suddenly asked as if he suddenly remembered something:

"By the way, Comrade Xiao Chang should graduate in June this year, right?"

"graduate?"

The sudden topic made Ding Gaoheng unable to react for a while, and he nodded after about two seconds:

"Yes, I graduated with a bachelor's degree in June this year. I heard that Lao Du has been approved and will skip the master's degree and study directly for a doctoral degree at his own school. In addition, President Shen Shiyuan of Beijing-Hangzhou has made a statement that he will do so within the scope of his authority. , Try to compress Chang Haonan’s PhD study time as much as possible.”

After hearing the answer, Song Jian raised his head and stared at a corner of the ceiling and thought for a moment:

"How long does it take to complete a PhD today?"

"If special arrangements are made, the degree can actually be awarded immediately after admission."

Ding Gaoheng's answer this time was almost without thinking, and he had obviously already considered this issue:

"However, Lao Du and Xiao Chang themselves felt that this was too much of a movement. After all, although Beijing Hang University is a school under the supervision of our Science and Technology Commission, the awarding of degrees, especially the awarding of doctorate degrees under special circumstances, must still go through the Ministry of Education. Yes, these people... are not very reliable, and it is normal for them to have such concerns."

"So the current plan that Lao Du and I have settled on is to give Xiao Chang a treatment equivalent to that of a professor while he is studying for a Ph.D., but it will still be calculated according to the shortest time for a doctoral degree in a public full-time university under normal circumstances, and the award will be awarded after two years. Bachelor of Science."

This arrangement made Song Jian nod repeatedly:

"Well... you should have thought more carefully. This is indeed safer."

"Why do you ask this suddenly? If you have thoughts about Xiao Chang, I'm afraid Lao Du and Jinghang University won't let him go so easily."

Ding Gaoheng asked with a somewhat curious tone.

The experienced Song Jian saw through the other party's true thoughts at a glance:

"Haha, I'm afraid that you old boy also has thoughts about him, and you're afraid that I might get the first chance..."

Then the conversation changed again:

"However, I do have ideas, but I'm not bold enough to recruit Chang Haonan directly to the Science and Technology Committee."

"oh?"

Ding Gaoheng raised his eyebrows when he heard the topic of interest:

"Are you ready to shoulder the burden for Xiao Changya?"

Song Qing waved his hand:

"We two old fritters shouldn't pretend to be ignorant here. Who doesn't know that at our level, when we bear the burden, we are also building a ladder. I think you are just jealous that I have the 973 in my hand that has been decided by the top. plan……"

After verbally counterattacking, he then said sternly:

"The reason I just asked you about Xiao Chang's graduation date was because I wanted him to be a member of the first expert advisory group of the 973 Project."

One sentence almost made Ding Gaoheng, who was drinking water in the tactics, almost choke.

"Don't worry, after listening to what you just said, I also realized that it was a bit too hasty."

Looking at his somewhat embarrassed old friend, Song Qing comforted him with a smile:

"The list of members of the expert advisory group needs to be made public. The sudden appearance of a person without a professional title among a group of professors and researchers is indeed a bit eye-catching."

Ding Gaoheng finally recovered at this time:

"Ahem... Well, on behalf of all the members of the Science and Technology Committee, I really want to thank you..."

But before he could breathe a sigh of relief, Song Qing continued:

“So I decided to set up an expert advisory group in each field to track, understand and guide project implementation in addition to the expert advisory group responsible for development strategy research and consultation on major issues. The size is about 4-5 in each field. People around me, and then invite Comrade Chang Haonan in, so that he can be given a serious identity without revealing his personal identity."

This operation directly shocked Ding Gaoheng next to him.

The Science and Technology Committee specially made dumplings for a dish of vinegar——

In order to give Chang Haonan a legitimate reason to participate in the 973 plan, a whole series of positions were directly created!

On the other hand, the Science and Technology Commission, although it has given many material rewards to others in the past period, there is really no opportunity to formally arrange a position.

The general consultant of the Seiko Project is considered a non-staff person. Moreover, even if Chang Haonan turns his hat into a full-time job after a few months of graduation, it is obviously impossible to compare with the 973 project that has received support from above.

This made Ding Gaoheng feel a sense of crisis instantly.

He originally wanted to say something more, but at this time, the door of the conference room was suddenly pushed open from the outside.

Several plainclothes staff members with ordinary clothes but extraordinary temperament walked in.

Behind them was an older man.

They both stood up at the same time:

…

On the other side, Chang Haonan, who returned to his residence, didn't know that he had been clearly arranged.

He is currently taking stock of his gains during this period after the end of the year.

Because the negotiation with Airbus created so much turmoil, he directly received up to 100 scientific research points, 1,000 engineering experience points, and up to 3,000 management ability points after signing the agreement of intent between the two parties. The overall status of the system has also become:

[Research Points: 600

Theoretical level: LV2 (3500/10000)

Engineering experience: LV2 (2000/10000)

Management ability: LV2 (3000/10000)

Comprehensive ability: LV2

Projects in progress: 0

Projects that can be carried out: 2]

Such panel data gives Chang Haonan a lot of confidence.

Especially since he has accumulated as many as 600 scientific research points, which is even enough to allow the system to skip steps and directly give the results of some projects in critical moments.

Therefore, after resting for a few days in Haojing, he began to rethink what he had promised Tang Lintian before, which was to write the last two units of the book "Application of Finite Element Thought in Aircraft Structural Design".

It turns out that the system does not treat writing a book as a project.

In other words, the plug-in has failed.

But that doesn't matter.

Chang Haonan also has his own past experience, as well as the theoretical knowledge he has learned after his rebirth from various sources including but not limited to systems, books and journals. He can try to make a systematic summary of the application of the finite element method.

According to his original idea, there were only two chapters anyway. One chapter could be devoted to computational fluid dynamics and the other chapter to computational structural mechanics.

First introduce some basic concepts, then write down a few calculation examples, and finally leave some homework.

But the more the work progressed, the more he found that what he wrote was still not basic enough.

The textbook was originally intended for beginners, and they were beginners in the 1990s.

Many people only start learning to use computers at the undergraduate level.

There are also many undergraduate training programs for engineering majors that do not include the content of partial differential equations.

The receptivity of these groups must be taken into consideration.

If three new proper nouns need to appear in order to explain one proper noun, it at least indicates that there is something wrong with the order and logic of the content arrangement.

As a result, more and more content was written in the original two chapters...

Within a few days, the content space reserved by Chang Haonan had exceeded one hundred pages.

However, he had only just written about inf-sup conditions for the analysis of incompressible media and structural problems.

This is the result after deleting a lot of content and exercises.

So after thinking over and over, Chang Haonan gritted his teeth and stamped his feet, and decided to give up doing the dojo operations in the snail shell and directly let himself go.

Let’s start with vectors, matrices and tensors!

This is followed by an introduction to basic concepts of engineering analysis and mathematical modeling of engineering systems.

Then there are methods for solving mathematical models of discrete systems and continuous systems.

How the finite element method is constructed…

Construction and calculation of isoparametric finite element matrix...

Nonlinear finite element analysis based on solid mechanics and structural mechanics...

How to solve characteristic problems...

…

After Chang Haonan spent a few days laying out the outline, he finally realized how big a hole he had dug for himself.

Two chapters?

Laughing to death, both books may not be finished.

In the end, he called Tang Lintian directly.

Fortunately, the other party happened to be in the office and the call was connected almost instantly.

"Hello, Dean Tang, I'm Chang Haonan."

Chang Haonan didn't talk nonsense and got straight to the point:

"Regarding the preparation of new textbooks on finite element analysis, it is really difficult if we follow the current thinking..."

Tang Lintian on the other end of the phone couldn't sit still:

"Xiao Chang, calm down first. If you have any difficulties, the college will try its best to help you with customer service..."

What he was most worried about was that Chang Haonan would give up his job, in which case the value of the entire course would be greatly reduced.

Tang Lintian's ambition is to promote this course, or at least this textbook, nationwide.

As a result, the latter's next sentence was even more heavyweight:

"Dean Tang, the length of the two units is really not enough. I hope you can approve it and let me write a textbook directly!"

Chang Haonan looked at the outline he had listed in his notebook. The first-level and second-level catalogs that he had thought of so far totaled 7 pages.

Even if I want to write a book, I'm afraid it has to be divided into two volumes for normal use, otherwise I'm afraid it will be printed out like a brick.

So he then added:

"Uh... one volume may not be enough, so it needs to be divided into two volumes."

There was silence on the other side of the phone for a moment.

"Dean Tang?"

Chang Haonan called out again tentatively.

Although Tang Lintian has no control over the matter of writing a book, if he wants to use the written book as a teaching material, he will naturally need the cooperation of the other dean, and may even need to adjust the undergraduate training program to achieve this goal. Seamless connection in teaching.

Otherwise, wouldn’t it be just self-entertainment?

"ah?"

Only then did Tang Lintian react:

"Write a book...or two?"

He didn't have any objections to Chang Haonan's ability to improve his strength on his own. As he was very organized when he gave lectures to most of the college last time, there was no need to worry about the quality of the teaching materials he wrote.

The only problem is the schedule.

Chang Haonan is indeed very strong, even stronger than most professors in the college. Tang Lintian knows this very well.

But people who have never actually written a book can easily underestimate the difficulty of this matter.

Especially Chang Haonan, who has a bright mind, may have already typed up the draft when creating a new folder.

As a result, when I actually started writing, I discovered that writing a book is not just as simple as piling everything in my mind onto paper.

Then it fell apart.

So Tang Lintian asked in a more tactful tone:

"But it's almost March now. Even if we arrange for your first-year graduate students to take this course in the second semester, there will only be one year left and two volumes of textbooks... Xiao Chang, you can really write Are you done?"

Hearing this question, Chang Haonan smiled:

"Dean Tang, I made this call just because I knew I couldn't finish writing."

"I am writing textbooks for our own college. Aren't you prepared to give me some help?"

——This is also his second purpose for contacting Tang Lintian.

If we follow the outline decided in the past few days, the total length of the two volumes will be at least 700-800 pages, which will also involve a large number of charts and formulas that are difficult to input and typeset. If Chang Haonan were to type it by hand, I’m afraid I may not be able to finish it after I graduate with a PhD.

Naturally, we need to find some foreign aid.

He had never done anything like writing a book before.

But I have never eaten pork, but I have always seen pigs running away.

Before his rebirth, Chang Haonan knew that there were many books, especially the editors of textbooks who actually did not write or only wrote a very small part of the specific text, and were only responsible for designing the overall structure and checking the content.

Of course, there are also those who are completely hands-off shopkeepers, but that falls within the scope of academic ethics issues.

Judging from the current situation, he himself must still be actually responsible for some theoretical content, but other less valuable tabulation, drawing and character input functions can be left to others.

Chang Haonan's time is still relatively valuable, and it is difficult to spare a large amount of time to do this kind of thing.

"How many people are there..."

Tang Lintian hesitated for a moment:

"Writing textbooks requires some experts after all, otherwise you have to teach the content first..."

"You can't be too old, otherwise typing on a computer will not be as fast as handwriting..."

"..."

After some consideration:

"Okay, how about I ask Teacher Liu Hongbo and his research team to help you with this work?"

"Professor Liu..."

Chang Haonan was stunned when he heard the name.

In less than a year, Liu Hongbo has completed his transformation from his teacher, to his senior brother, and will soon become his subordinate.

But it is indeed a good choice.

As long as the other party has no objections, Chang Haonan will naturally welcome:

"Okay, that's it."
