Capítulo 863: Chapter 300: Final Exam!
“My advisor assigned a problem.”
“What problem? Are they getting you to start your thesis already?”
“In the current market environnt where quantum simulation computers are becoming widespread, dynamically model the current financial market and asset pricing based on stochastic differential equations.”
After hearing the girl’s words, Qiao Yu raised his hand to scratch his head.
One can only say that Keke’s advisor is too ambitious. This is definitely not a problem that should be assigned to a master’s student; even a PhD would find this challenging.
It’s even harder if you want to conduct in-depth research.
Anyone who learned stochastic processes in undergrad math knows how abstract this stuff is. The problem statent clearly indicates the need to use stochastic differential equations and involves stochastic control theory.
And then add the variable of quantum simulation computers…
“Your advisor must have told you sothing else, right?”
Xia Keke chuckled, nodded, and then said earnestly, “He said if I need to use the Black-Scholes or Heston model and can’t manage, I could ask you for help. He also said if I manage to write the paper, I’ll be the first author, and he can just be the second author!”
Qiao Yu looked up at the moon and thought Keke’s advisor was actually not bad. Professors in economics, after all, are usually good at utilizing resources, which is understandable.
“Your advisor really holds you in high regard!”
“Don’t be modest, he clearly holds you in high regard. I know I’m just basking in your glow.”
“Oh? What else did your advisor say?”
“He also asked to ask you, when the era of quantum simulation computers cos, will majoring in economics be useless? Should we shift towards managent studies instead?”
“Has economics ever been useful?”
“You…”
“Alright, alright, technically your advisor isn’t wrong. Think about it, the micro world inherently contains many possibilities, which fit well with the volatile nature of the financial world.
So, indeed, continuing to research economics in the future doesn’t lead to much. Switching to focusing on managent studies isn’t a bad idea after all. Managent studies delve into the general rules of human nature, and that’s sothing quantum computing can’t replace.
“But if, according to you, human nature also varies, why can’t we use quantum computing to simulate it?”
“No, no, you’re misunderstanding. As I said earlier, human nature has general rules. For example, the tendency to seek advantage. From a managent studies perspective, well…
How should I put it, this is actually a collective concept within human nature. You should know, individual behavior patterns are unpredictable, but once it rises to the collective level, it becos predictable.”
“Is there really such a saying? Aren’t you always studying human nature?”
“Uh… wait, weren’t we specifically out on a date? Why are we talking about all these unrelated things? Your advisor, too, he can study whatever he wants in the future, what’s it got to do with you? Since when does an advisor want to switch fields and ask the student about it?”
“That’s how it is, but Director Liu is quite good to . Even if it’s just out of respect for you. Anyway, enough about Director Liu, when I left today, our mom told sothing.
Director Tian called her yesterday, saying that you’ve been having too much fun lately, not caring about anything, and not working on new projects, so she should persuade you.
Our mom said she’s too lazy to deal with you right now, so she asked to pass on the ssage: you better be aware of your actions, or if it’s too excessive, there are family rules to straighten you out.”
Alright, this was sothing Qiao Yu didn’t expect.
He found that this world has never been fair.
For example, so people’s advisors never keep track of what they’re doing, and they can play however they want every day.
So people, after being busy for years, take a few days off, and the advisor is so anxious, they wish every project could seamlessly transition into the next. Is there any justice in that?
“Didn’t you help explain to Qiao Xi for ? Doesn’t anyone know how busy I am every day if not you?”
Qiao Yu said exasperatedly.
“I explained, but mom’s exact words were you’re busy doing nothing! She also said you haven’t even handled the most basic reception work. Invited people over and didn’t even et them. All the pressure is on the subordinates.”
Xia Keke said and then started laughing slyly.
“Do you think she’s right?”
“Of course not, you really should take more rest.”
Qiao Yu had to admit that among everyone around him, Keke’s awareness has always been the highest. Even Senior Brother Chen couldn’t compare to her.
That guy often hesitated and was timid as a mouse. He always wanted both sides.
Most tis, he was on Qiao Yu’s side, but if Tian Yanzhen disagreed, he loved to say a few words of so-called fairness.
Unlike Keke, who always stood by his side, she was even willing to explain things to Qiao Xi for him.
It’s rare to find a girl like that these days.
“Sigh… actually, what I miss the most is when we were kids, ruling the roost in our neighborhood. Do you rember?
Back then, you led swaggering around the neighborhood, picking on anyone we didn’t like, and beating them up together. Thinking about those tis makes so nostalgic!
Now you’re so busy every day, and we can’t play carefreely like we used to. But we’re certainly wealthier now than we were back then!
So, of course, I’m on your side! Rember, you taught from a young age how to lie to adults, how to trick dad, mom, and our mom.”
Sure enough, this girl hasn’t grown up yet.
