关于我的FAQ(常见问题): (FAQ about me)
0: 你是谁啊? 上过学么? 男的女的? 帅/漂亮不?
我叫 徐宥(音:右)，男，一点儿也不帅。是一个计算机专业的Ph.D. 学生，就读于美国华盛顿大学计算机科学与工程系。我的主要研究方向包括人工智能，非线性规划和数值算法。我的导师是 Yixin Chen. 以前本科(02-06) 我就读于南京大学数学系信息与计算科学专业. 高中在江苏省扬州中学.
作为 一个有点“极客”的本科生，我把我本科的大好时光花费在图书馆阳光和灰尘交织的角落，书香和汗臭弥漫的书桌。唯一值得自豪的是基本通读完南京大学图书馆 TP312书架（计算机相关理论）的图书。尽管如此的浪费青春，我还是很幸运的找到一个在美国学习计算机的机会.

(English Version) Who are you?:
Eric You XU is a first year doctoral student in Computer Science and Engineering Department of Washington University. He is a graduate research assistant with Prof. Yixin Chen. Now he is working on Artificial Intelligence and Nonlinear Programming, and hopefully, Bioinformatics.
Eric XU received his bachelor’s degree in Mathematics (Information and Computational Science) from Nanjing University, China with a number of honors. In Nanjing University, his advisor was Prof. Hourong Qin, a world-famous young scientist in Algebraic Number Theory, who was also the head and dean of the Mathematics Department, Nanjing University. Eric’s undergraduate research included Algorithmic Number Theory and Information Theory. Before entering Nanjing University, he had spent three years studying at Yangzhou Middle School, one of the most distinguished middle school in China. He is quite proud of the fact that both Nanjing University and Yangzhou Middle School have had their centennial celebrations held on May 20, 2002 and Oct. 22, 2002, respectively.
As an undergraduate with a little geekiness, he had spent much time in teaching himself EECS. It is said that he has read all of the books in the library of Nanjing University in the category TP.312 (related to Computer Science Theory and Electronical Engineering Theory). Although he wasted his beautiful collage life in the dusky and dusty library, fortunately enough, he finally got an opportunity for studying Computer Science in the Unites States.

1. 你的名字好奇怪啊，怎么来的啊?
这个名字是我爷爷取的。我的名字的来由很简单：按照族谱，我这个辈分的人都是“又/幼”这个辈分。到我出生的时候，因为独生子女政策，已经不流行三个字的名字了，因此我就单名一个宥字。
据我爷爷考证，宥在古书中的意思大约就是宽容，原谅，赦免这类的意思。我现在能见到的古文比如《庄子 在宥》 “ 闻在宥天下，不闻治天下也”。 当然也有其他的意思，比如《荀子 宥坐》，讲的是满遭损，谦受益的故事。总的来说，我爷爷当时可能是希望我宽容待人，谦虚处事。即使到现在，我也不敢说做到名副其实，常常提醒自己要涵容， 要谦逊。
(English version) Your name is hilarious, why your name is You?
The origin of my name. My name is You XU (pronunciation: You Hsu) and my last name is XU (like Hsu). My grandfather gives me this name. According to Chinese culture, the first name depends on your generation in the family tree and it has been pre-decided by our ancestor. Therefore, my first name is You according to it. It seems hilarious as You is a common word in English, however, it means tolerance and humbleness in Chinese character. As you might know, tolerance and humbleness are essential parts of the traditional Chinese culture. I am proud of my name.
2. 你的客座Blog 很好，我能不能参加啊?
当然可以的，而且非常欢迎。客座Blog 的宗旨就是提倡多元化，促进我的读者交流。只要给我发封信简单介绍一下你自己，你就是我的下一位客人。
(English Version) Your guest blog is interesting, can I be one of your guests?
Sure, please feel free dropping me email and you will be my next guest :)
3. 听说你免费发10美元的研究资助，是不是有这回事啊? [这是病句]
是的. 十美元研究基金是我设立的旨在鼓励小规模学术性质的有趣研究而设立的一个基金。任何具有大学或同等学历的人都可以申请。
简单的说，你可以随意支配这十美元。但申请者必须先提交一个研究计划或者开题报告，得到这笔钱后必须在规定的期限内上交结果（结果仅供评审，所有权归完成人）
如果你觉得这个很有趣，您可以提交一份研究计划到youxu A@T wustl.edu, 我会尽快联系你，如果你在北美，我会给你一张支票。如果你在其他国家，我会给你邮寄现金或者等额其他货币。
(English Version) I’ve heard that I get 10 dollar research funding from you, is that true?
Yes, it is true. 10-dollar research funding project was set up by Eric You XU in the hope of encourage the funny, academic and useful research projects proposed by collage students or people with equivalent degree.
Generally speaking, you can make use of a funding of 10 dollar to do everything you like to finish your research. However, should you get the funding, it is your responsibility to spend the money to the right place. A research proposal is a MUST in applying this funding and of course a final result need submitted after finishing. Your result belongs to yourself and the final result submitted is solely for review purpose.
If you are interested in this project, please write a formal proposal to youxu [AT] wustl.edu. I will reply to you soon upon your request. I will send you a check if you are in the North America. However, I will send you the cash directly if you are in the other parts of the world.
4. 请问Google 和微软面试要注意什么啊?
a) 练习你的英语口语 这一点非常重要
我面试过MS, Google 都是英语面试。 我曾面试过南京Siemens的Intern, 和HR聊了10分钟就OK了。
b) 技术问题idea 胜过技术细节
比如某些问题，只要point out 用什么方法解决就行了 过多思考技术细节可能会造成面试官以为你不会
c) 如果你想要进一个公司，必须热爱一个公司
想想如果你面试的时候对面试官说 我发现了你们产品的一个bug 但是我知道如何修理他. 人家怎么想？这个还表现在对公司文化要了解，表现出你的diversity(Google) 或者Passion (MS).
