Of course, Qiao Yu didn't dare to answer the phone. He hesitated just now to give the instructor face.
He can't keep pretending that he doesn't know about the conflict between his mentor and his master. In that case, he's not pretending to be stupid, but he's treating his mentor and grandpa as fools. It's something that Qiao Yu rarely does, but it's a bold thing. , which he often does.
So after Tian Yanzhen said those words with a half-smile, Qiao Yu answered the phone without hesitation in front of his instructor. "Hey, grandpa, morning... ah, no, good at noon."
"No, I'm still with my supervisor... Yes, yes, that's right, Director Tian. He called me early in the morning... Yes, I'm reading the paper... I'm still there. , he is right next to you, do you want to talk to him?
"Oh, okay... Well, yes, it's my mother... Yes, my mother, to be honest with you, that's what happened. Director Tian also asked me this question just now... Other than that, there’s nothing else...Yes, I didn’t tell Director Tian before.”
"Yes, after I checked the paper last night, I only sent an email to you and Director Tian. Apart from telling my mother that I was writing this paper, I have never talked about it with anyone else. !
"...That's it, thank you so much, grandpa...Well...I understand this...I'm not proud, really...by the way...that's you Don’t you really need to have a few words with Director Tian? Well, okay..”
Qiao Yu put the phone down from his ear, then confidently handed it to Tian Yanzhen, who was just sitting there, looking at him with a complicated expression, and said: "Director Tian, ​​Grandpa Shi, I want to have a chat with you.
Tian Yanzhen was stunned, but he still took the earphones, calmed down, put the already hot phone to his ear, and said in a deep voice: "Hello, Mr. Yuan." "I always thought you were lucky. The best among students! Now it seems that it is indeed true!"
Tian Yan was really moved when he heard the familiar voice.
Ten years ago, he would probably have argued with the old man opposite him about this sentence, but now Tian Yanzhen really feels that he is quite lucky.
His achievements are a little higher than those of the Chinese mathematicians of the same generation. At this age, the students he accepts are also better than those of the same generation of mathematicians... not just a little bit. They are even much better than the students of the old man opposite.
Tian Yan really doesn't think that doing scientific research is luck, but accepting students is really mostly luck.
If it weren't for the email Xue Song sent him and forwarded Qiao Yu's paper, he went to the CMO site on a whim. When he met Qiao Yu, he read the learning experience on this guy's computer and waited until after IMO. , maybe it’s too late.
Therefore, when Xue Song was transferred to Yanbei, in addition to letting him take Qiao Yu with him, he also wanted to reciprocate the favor. But the reason why Tian Yanzhen didn't want to argue at all was that he could hear the sour taste in his voice. .
Yes, others may not be able to hear it, but he can.
So Wen Yan replied: "What the teacher said is that I have been quite lucky these years. Especially last year, I accidentally thought about going out to have a look, but I came across a piece of jade. I would like to thank the teacher for his help." carving.
The person on the other side was silent for a moment and said: "Although your knowledge is still a little bit behind after all, since my grandson is willing to worship you as his teacher, I would like to ask you to put more thought into it. You are now your age, so you should fight less for fame and wealth. The right way is to cultivate students in a down-to-earth manner.
Tian Yanzhen immediately replied: "Teacher, please rest assured, Yanbei really has a training plan for Qiao Yu. I believe that his future achievements will surpass all of us. Huaxia can produce such a talent and will not be inferior to anyone else." It is not easy to become a mathematician, Yan Zhen will do his best. And..."
At this point, Tian Yanzhen changed the subject and began to give examples: "Actually, teaching this kid doesn't need to be so detailed. That day I taught him about the quantization problem in mathematics. It only took him ten minutes to understand it and he could use it. to the examples in the paper.
This is reflected in the proof process of Lemma 3.4 of the quantum homology category group in this paper. You can take a closer look at these two lemmas and you will probably be able to understand the meaning of those ten minutes.
The person on the other side was silent again for a long time, and then a word floated into Tian Yanzhen's ears: "Then take care of yourself, I'll die." "Teacher, take care of yourself."
When the phone was handed back to Qiao Yu, the person on the other side had already hung up the phone. Tian Yanzhen looked Qiao Yu up and down and joked, "Do you recognize a grandpa?"
"Ahem..." Qiao Yu coughed twice and immediately replied: "Director Tian, ​​that's Grandpa Shi. Oh, by the way, I just simplified it out of habit. I'm your student, let's learn In mathematics, it has become a biological instinct to simplify complex formulas when you see them can be simplified. Well, do you think this explanation is reasonable?
It does sound very reasonable.
But Tian Yanzhen just stared at Qiao Yu quietly, until he almost felt embarrassed by the young man. Tian Yanzhen couldn't hold it back, and the corners of his mouth gradually turned up. So he simply nodded and said: "It does make sense. So what did your grandfather just say to you?"
Although Qiao Yu answered the phone in front of him, he could only faintly hear the voice on the other end of the phone. He could only guess the details.
Qiao Yu answered honestly: "It's almost the same as what you asked, that is, have you discussed it with other people? Oh, by the way, grandpa said he would help me find someone to use Huaqing's Supercomputing Center to help me do some Verification, and said that until it is widely recognized by the mathematical community, my conclusion can only be regarded as a conjecture for the time being, so let me not be too proud yet."
Tian Yanzhen nodded and said: "Mr. Yuan is right, your article is very valuable, but before it is widely recognized, it can only be regarded as a conjecture for the time being! But as long as it can be verified by supercomputing, even if it is Conjecture, it has also been proven that at least in the known curve library, your conclusion is correct.
This is the same as when you use some of the conclusions of the BSD conjecture in your paper. Although the BSD conjecture has not been fully proved, some of the conclusions have been recognized, and everyone should still use it!
In addition, your ideas have many innovations, especially the content of geometric constraint parameter conjecture. Therefore, I think that after the supercomputer has verified that this article is correct, it will be no problem to submit it to the four major journals. Do you have a favorite journal that you particularly want to publish? "
Qiao Yu shook his head and said: "No, I only know the Big Four, which you mentioned to me before, saying they are the most influential journals in mathematics. I don't know the specific differences between these four journals. I understand. How about you decide who to vote for?
Tian Yanzhen pondered for a moment and said: "Then vote for Ann Math. The editorial office of this annual mathematics journal is at Princeton University. Do you still remember Professor Zhang who attended the seminar last time? He is now at Princeton's Advanced Research Institute. He serves as a professor in the college.”
Seeing Qiao Yu's confused look, Tian Yanzhen explained: "This is not to say that your paper cannot meet the standards of Ann Math. The main reason is that you are afraid of interference from factors outside the scope of academic research. Especially since you are only sixteen this year. Years old. You are still a complete newcomer to the world of mathematics. It will go more smoothly if you have someone other than your tutor to vouch for your academic performance."
Qiao Yu subconsciously asked: "What does academic guarantee mean?"
Tian Yan really smiled and replied: "Academic guarantee is a very serious matter. For example, in your paper, if no one can find a counterexample within a period of time and it is valid for almost all known curves, then it is possible Convert conjectures into theorems.
In other words, you have solved a world-wide problem in mathematics. At this time, a mathematician of sufficient importance stands up and tells everyone that you solved this problem independently. You did not borrow the help of others. This is an academic guarantee.
As the corresponding author, I can also vouch for your academic work, and Mr. Yuan will not mind vouching for you if you want to come. But in recent years, we have mainly been engaged in Chinese mathematics activities, and our international influence is not very large. If Professor Zhang is willing to provide you with With a guarantee, doubts will be much smaller.
Of course, it may not only be Professor Zhang, but also the visiting Professor Robert who wants to do this. In short, the more professors come forward to vouch for you, the fewer unexpected situations that may arise outside of academia. After all You are only sixteen years old!"
Yes, when he said these words, Tian Yan was really lucky that he made that phone call to Zhang Shuwen that day. Therefore, this paper appears to have a coherent context.
Because he did not expect that Qiao Yu could complete a paper that was qualified to be submitted to the four major universities in such a short period of time. He asked Qiao Yu to come to Yanbei in advance in the past six months to save him some time and lay a solid foundation in advance. This guy handed in a different answer sheet!
Tian Yanzhen believed that Qiao Yu would succeed more than anyone else, but he never thought it would happen so soon! He just celebrated his sixteenth birthday!
What else could he say? Originally, it was an advance plan that looked to the future, but in the blink of an eye, it was only used in more than a month. It can only be said that things are unpredictable, and this kid Qiao Yu is even more unpredictable. Inadvertently, a person popped up surprise.
"Is that so? If there is no academic guarantee, it will be very troublesome?" Qiao Yu nodded suddenly and asked.
Tian Yanzhen hesitated for a moment. Originally, he felt that there was no need for Qiao Yu to be exposed to some of the dark sides of academia, so as not to dampen the child's academic research enthusiasm. But since he can already achieve results, God knows what surprises there will be in the future, so it is better to let him He knew in advance.
"Academic arena is also an arena. Many people are researching in one direction. Generally speaking, whoever publishes first will own the results. But sometimes the problems in mathematics are very special. If you claim to have proved a certain thesis, it may be because of the proof process. If there are some flaws or ambiguity, someone will question it.
There will also be people who fill in the flawed parts and then claim to have proved the problem. They even think that they may even fabricate the story that their previous work was about to yield results, but the original research was leaked at a critical moment.
So this world is not friendly to new academics. Can you understand?"
Qiao Yu nodded and said: "I understand. In fact, Professor Xue mentioned something to me before, but what he said was that the laboratory was used to let people loose... That, the results that have been made, including all research manuscripts Is it possible to encounter this kind of situation under other circumstances? Shouldn’t most professors be gentlemen?”
Tian Yanzhen smiled: "Don't overestimate the average moral standard in academia. You can check the academic integrity analysis report when you have time. In fact, theoretical mathematics is pretty good, compared with theoretical physics and application. Compared with some studies, forget it, let’s not talk about others...
Hey, in short, if someone is willing to endorse your academic achievements, you should remember to be grateful. Because they are risking their academic reputation to prove it for you. Especially when you are just starting out, these are timely help.
The higher the academic reputation you accumulate, the more people will be willing to vouch for your academic work. Until you become a well-known mathematician, at that time no one will need to endorse you. In turn, you will be able to endorse others. .
But you should pay more attention at this time. As I just said, academic guarantee is an extremely serious matter. If you guarantee him, if he really commits academic fraud, it will also affect your academic reputation. You share the honor. It’s not much, but it’s true that if one loses, both will suffer.”
Qiao Yu nodded seriously, indicating that he had learned the lesson.
He heard Lao Xue say something before, and he thought that Professor Xue was probably not involved in top academic circles, so the things he encountered were a little more complicated. But after hearing Director Tian say the same thing, Qiao Yu also realized Yes, probably the higher you go, the more competition there will be.
Listening to what Director Tian meant, the academic world not only has this kind of thing about stealing the achievements of newcomers, but also has many tricks... This only increases Qiao Yu's determination to catch both sides and be tough on both sides.
Having the two banners of Huaqing and Yanbei behind him means that when he makes achievements in the future, the big guys on both sides will help him support him. If he wants to steal his achievements, he must first weigh whether he has enough weight. They all say mathematics. Home is the only area where you can fight alone, but now it seems that before you have enough strength, you have to stay together as a team.
Tian Yanzhen then added: "This is why Mr. Yuan and I have repeatedly asked you whether you have discussed this issue with others. But you don't have to worry too much. At least your achievements this time will not be coveted by anyone.
Your method is very new, and just when you first proposed this idea, we held a seminar. Not only did Professor Zhang Shuwen and Professor Robert participate in the seminar, but the entire process was videotaped. With this evidence, even if someone has a wrong idea,
It is also enough to win the trust of the international academic community.”
Qiao Yu raised his hand, and then said sincerely: "Teacher is wise!" After all, that seminar was Tian Yanzhen's final decision to hold it.
Tian Yanzhen smiled, okay, it was just a spur of the moment idea that day, and he even wanted to show off his status as a closed disciple. At that time, he never thought that Qiao Yuzhen could complete this project. It can only be said that he did it unintentionally.
However, Tian Yanzhen didn't explain anything, but changed the subject: "In addition, under the current situation, I can't treat you as an ordinary student. So you should study step by step according to your own way, but you also
It’s time to think about what to do next.”
"Project?"
Qiao Yu was stunned. He seemed to have not officially started his undergraduate studies yet. According to his understanding, the formal registration for the subject should be at the postgraduate level.
So he immediately explained: "Well, Director Tian, ​​you may have a misunderstanding. I did this project mainly because Teacher Xue told me at that time that there was a genius opposite me who submitted a top conference paper when he was participating in military training as an undergraduate. I think the author is
Your students must not be worse than the other students.
Then I happened to encounter such an opportunity. I had some ideas and just tried to do it. At present, I feel that I should focus on learning. After all, I am still lacking in basic knowledge and I still need to work hard to make up for it.
Shortcomings.
Although Qiao Yu has been shamelessly thinking that he will be the one to carry the banner of Huaxia Mathematics in the future, this does not mean that he wants to put more burdens on himself at this stage. His idea is also very simple, and he completed this paper
, thus establishing his status in the minds of Director Tian and the opposite master, and he can relax for a while.
It is really simple for him to lay a solid foundation. In the past six months, he only needs to read books and papers every week, and participate in IMO special training with a relaxed attitude. After he comes back with a first place, he will enroll next year and start to officially enjoy undergraduate life.
.
Like Schultz, he completes his credits in two years, and then starts graduate studies. The key to doing projects is to enjoy two years of undergraduate life.
With the foundation laid by this thesis, he can't even think about how happy he will be as an undergraduate in the next two years. Think about it, with two giant Buddhas covering him, he can study at two universities at the same time.
Walk sideways in the School of Mathematics and the Institute of Mathematics.
By the way, he can enjoy the admiration of his peers around him. He can take professional classes if he wants to. If he doesn’t want to, the professor will not make things difficult for him. Instead, he will reflect on why he can’t keep him. After all, according to his understanding, even most of Professor Yan Bei’s
I haven’t published any articles in the top four mathematics journals either.
It's beautiful to think about such a life.
But it will be different if you are tasked with doing the project.
Looking at Senior Brother Chen, you can tell that once tasks are on his shoulders, he may not even be able to sleep well, let alone go out to play. He may not even be in a good mood to show off in front of his classmates. Mathematics research should be a very happy thing. But it’s different when you have to shoulder the burden of scientific research.
It is normal for the former not to achieve results, but it is a surprise if he achieves results.
If the latter fails to achieve results, he will feel that he has failed the teacher's expectations and the school's training; it is normal if he achieves results! Obviously, Qiao Yu hopes to live the carefree life of the former two years ago.
However, Tian Yanzhen was obviously not moved by his remarks. He said warmly: "Age is not a problem, and foundation is not a problem. The mathematical life in which people can really make achievements is very short, and time cannot be wasted."
If you don’t have that ability, that’s it. If you have the ability, of course you have to set a goal for yourself. Since you are so interested in the upper bound of rational number points on curves, why not try to solve problems related to BSD conjecture?
Of course, I don't mean that you must completely solve this conjecture immediately. For example, you can first study the rational point ranks of some specific elliptic curves, or study the properties of the L-function at s=1, including the multiplicity of zero points and the poles. Relationships and so on.
If you are interested, I will recommend a few papers to you today. You can go back and study them first. After deciding on the proposition, we will decide on a more specific direction when we meet next week.
Qiao Yu could see that Director Tian was serious. His dear mentor no longer wanted to talk about martial ethics!
I really wanted to go to the other side to complain to my grandpa, but suddenly I felt that if I complained about other things, my grandpa would most likely side with him. But for this kind of thing, not only might he not side with him, but he might even have to put more pressure on him. For a moment, my mentality was a little bit... collapse.
But then I thought about it, although I couldn't resist this matter, I still had to have my own opinion on the research direction.
After all, he was not that interested in studying curvilinear rational numbers, so he simply said: "Director Tian, ​​since I have to choose a topic, in fact, I have always wanted to do research on the distribution of prime numbers. Otherwise, I will directly do the Riemann Hypothesis Bar?
This time Tian Yan was really speechless as he stared at Qiao Yu...
Good guy, the BSD conjecture has already taken shape. If this guy refuses to do it, just change it to a more challenging one. Haha, Riemann Conjecture!
After a long silence, Tian Yanzhen slowly said: "Why don't you call Mr. Yuan on the other side and ask him what topics his instructor recommended to him?" Qiao Yu nodded calmly and said : "I know, it's the Riemann Hypothesis! Teacher Xue told me."
Tian Yanzhen asked: "Then you still choose the Riemann Hypothesis?"
Qiao Yu said: "I am really interested in the distribution of prime numbers!"
After Tian Yanzhen pondered for a moment, he said: "You want to put forward an unrealistic proposition, and then there is no psychological burden if you can't do it, right? Being interested in the distribution of prime numbers does not necessarily mean you have to do the Riemann Hypothesis.
In this way, I will set a topic for you to study the randomness of analytical number theory. Specifically, it is to study the random prime number generation model and explore the effectiveness of the model in predicting the prime number distribution. The requirement is to make a more accurate prime number prediction model, or formula , used to describe the distribution of prime numbers."
Qiao Yu became a little anxious and said, "Director Tian, ​​let me do the Riemann Hypothesis. I really feel like I can do it."
Tian Yanzhen nodded and said without any refutation: "I'm not saying you can't do it, but you have to determine an entry point before choosing the Riemann Hypothesis? Just study it with your head down? Behind closed doors? I think this proposition can help you In the future, we will provide more mature ideas to solve the Riemann Hypothesis.
This is also a topic proposed for your poor foundation. The study of randomness needs to be combined with probability theory and combinatorial mathematics. On the other hand, you must be accustomed to using computers to conduct experiments and numerical simulations.
This topic will not only exercise your theoretical analysis skills, but also require you to frequently use supercomputing for actual calculation verification, allowing you to quickly become familiar with the technical methods of cutting-edge mathematical research. That’s how the topic is decided!”
Qiao Yu took a deep breath, then nodded with a grimace and replied, "Okay, Director Tian, ​​I will listen to you."
"Well, I will send you a supercomputing account on WeChat later. You can go back and log in to the official website of the school's supercomputing center to familiarize yourself with the rules for using supercomputing. However, you don't need to queue for the account I gave you, and you can use the resources as you like, but don't waste.
By the way, you don’t have to worry about the verification of this paper. I will arrange for someone to do the verification for you. If the results need to be modified or fine-tuned, I will notify you. Your next task is to think carefully about how to proceed. Topic.
Submit a project progress report every week. Of course, the daily study cannot be left behind. The weekly reading experience and thesis experience must be submitted on Monday, so why not submit them together and I will read them together."
Tian Yanzhen warned him item by item.
Qiao Yu felt numb and said dullly: "Um...Director Tian, ​​I will start the first phase of IMO training in early March, so there won't be any requirements during the training, right?"
Tian Yanzhen glanced at Qiao Yu with a smile, thought for a moment, and said, "Well, okay, the two-stage training and going abroad to take the IMO exam will be considered a holiday. But apart from these three periods, including the future cold During the summer vacation, the above are daily assignments and must be submitted.
Of course, the project progress report will not be needed after it is completed. Don’t feel tired. Aren’t you already familiar with Chen Zhuoyang? You can ask him if he has the same requirements. Academic research is not that easy.”
Qiao Yu nodded helplessly. He didn't want to argue about the fact that he was still a bachelor and the other party was a doctor.
When the instructor said this, he was already being trained as a graduate student. The argument was nothing more than humiliating himself. He could only shoulder a burden that should not be shouldered at his age...
Listen... the periodic special training for the IMO competition was treated as a holiday for him! Saying such unreasonable words means there is no room for change. "I understand, Director Tian."
"Okay, let's go eat. You can relax a little today. Go to the lake or go to the stadium. Give yourself half a day off. It's not too late to start working hard again tomorrow. Don't be so sad."
"Well, thank you, Director Tian, ​​for your concern!"
"When heaven entrusts a person with a great responsibility, he must first strain his mind, strain his muscles and bones, starve his body and skin, deplete his body, and mess up his actions, so that he can move his heart and forbearance and gain what he cannot."
On the way to the cafeteria, Qiao Yu memorized this article "Mencius: Gaozi II" over and over again, and finally felt better. There was no other way, people always have to be good at comforting themselves.
Life is hard, and without any spiritual support, the mood can easily collapse. But who can blame him? After all, he is too good. The only way to relieve worries is good food.
The cafeteria of Yanbei University soothed the wounds in Qiao Yu's heart.
After dinner, I wanted to follow the instructor's instructions and go for a walk by the lake to see the beautiful senior sister and calm down my depressed mood, but when I arrived at the entrance of the research center, I was too lazy to move.
In fact, there was nothing good to see. After all, the senior sister couldn't help him with the project, so it was better to go back and take a nap. Not long after returning to the dormitory, Lao Xue came.
"Went to class this morning? Didn't you say you were going to write a paper these days?"
Qiao Yu felt that Lao Xue was a little strange recently, as if he felt uncomfortable after not seeing him for a day, and he would come here every day.
In fact, he has passed the initial adaptation period now and no one needs to watch him like this every day. However, it is good that Lao Xue likes to come and see him every day. After all, people always have to be in contact with the outside world.
"I finished writing it and sent it to Director Tian yesterday. Director Tian called me over in the morning and asked me to stay in his office to read the paper with him." Qiao Yu explained. "Oh? What did Director Tian say?" Lao Xue Interested
He knew the level of Qiao Yu's paper, so he didn't worry about the basics. What he asked was naturally the evaluation of the results and the proof process.
"Director Tian said that the samples I verified were not enough, and we need to use supercomputer verification. If it matches the results saved in the database, it will be eligible for publication in the four top journals! If it doesn't match, the paper may still need to be published. change.
By the way, Director Tian also suggested that I publish Princeton’s Annual Journal of Mathematics. Mr. Xue, you studied for a Ph.D. Gotta be a little happier.
After all, it is one of the four major mathematics journals recognized in the world. Many professors are proud to publish articles in journals of this level.
However, Qiao Yu seemed to have forgotten that Lao Xue was one of them. What he said was actually like stabbing Lao Xue in the chest, although he really didn't mean it. So he heard Lao Xue reply in a nonchalant manner. : "Yeah, awesome."
This tone made Qiao Yu feel a little melancholy in his heart, right? Now he would accidentally touch the sensitive part of the professor's heart?
After thinking for a while, I added: "It's okay, Teacher Xue, hasn't it been verified successfully? Maybe it won't pass the supercomputer verification, and I have to make changes."
Xue Song thought for a while and seemed to feel that his emotions were indeed unreasonable, so he took the initiative to smile and said: "Okay, you can be proud of it. Let's put it this way, when I was studying for my Ph.D. in Princeton, my supervisor taught Mathematics Professor Lot Dugan, editor-in-chief of Annals, is a very good friend.
But even so, I haven't been able to publish an article in the "Annual Review of Mathematics". Of course it's not that I don't want to, nor is it that my tutor deliberately avoids suspicion and is unwilling to recommend me. It's purely because my results are not up to that level, so you kid Just have some fun."
"Hehe..." Qiao Yu laughed twice.
Lao Xue is a kind person. He cannot take pleasure in kind people. This is his moral bottom line.
Moreover, there are many unkind people around him, such as Yu Yongjun and Yu Wei, who are not kind people.
"Okay, I just want to take a look at you. I won't celebrate with you. I'm going to do my work first." After saying that, Xue Song turned around and left without hesitation. Although being Qiao Yu's mentor has a nurturing system happiness, but it is inevitable that he will also feel hit. He also needs to do a good job of psychological adjustment.
Just like what he said, he took advantage of the right time, place and people, but failed to publish an article in the "Annals of Mathematics". Let's not mention whether Qiao Yu's article can be published in the end, but at least it is the top mathematics in China. Home certification qualifies papers published on it.
With this alone, Qiao Yu has already killed 80% of the mathematics researchers in China instantly.
This actually made Xue Song very happy, but if he was included in the 80%, he would feel less happy. His mood was too complicated, and he naturally needed to adjust.
Qiao Yu watched Lao Xue say goodbye without hesitation, and his mood was actually quite complicated, but what could he do? He could only say to Lao Xue's back: "Teacher Xue, please walk slowly, I won't Sent."
Xue Song didn't even look back, he just raised his hand casually and waved.
Qiao Yu sighed and was just about to take a nap when Senior Brother Chen, who was upstairs, walked into his room with a bound A4 paper in one hand and his tea cup in the other. After entering, he didn't forget to explain: "Just now I came down just in time to see Professor Xue leaving the window.
Sure enough, when you are unlucky, you can't do anything you want. Qiao Yu sighed in his heart, but still received his senior brother warmly. "Brother Chen, sit down. Is this thesis completed?"
"Well, yes, in fact, it was almost completed last month. This is not to strive for excellence. I have been changing some content to improve the proof process. I think you will go to Huaqing on Wednesday, so I will take it first Let me show you. If you have any suggestions, I still have time to make changes tomorrow."
Chen Zhuoyang said in a very sincere manner, which made Qiao Yu feel a little embarrassed.
"Well, how am I qualified to help senior brother comment on the article? I just took a look at it and studied it." After saying that, Qiao Yu took the paper from senior brother Chen.
Chen Zhuoyang sat directly on the stool in front of Qiao Yu's desk, put the tea cup on Qiao Yu's desk, and said: "Hey, you're welcome. You can finish a paper so quickly, and you can even be called by the boss to chat in person. In the morning, it shows that you really have experience in writing the paper.
To be honest, I have never had a supervisor ask me to come over to discuss the paper. Basically, he just gave me some comments and asked me to revise or rewrite it. By the way, what did the supervisor say? Where do you recommend that you apply?
Qiao Yu had already opened Senior Brother Chen's paper, and then answered casually: "The instructor said that it needs to be verified by supercomputing. If it can pass, he suggested that I publish it in the Annual Journal of Mathematics."
Senior Brother Chen nodded and asked casually: "Oh, the Mathematics Annual of Shuangdan University? It's very good. Series B is the core journal of SCI Area 1. By the way, you should just publish the Mathematics Annual Series B directly. ?That’s right. It’s better to publish Series A than to publish our progress in mathematics.”
"Um? Shuangdan University also has a mathematics annual journal? Is it divided into AB series?" Qiao Yu raised his head and asked.
"Didn't your boss suggest that you publish it? He didn't explain it to you? Series A is a Chinese bimonthly, and Series B is a quarterly English magazine. Of course...wait a minute, aren't you publishing Series B of Shuangdan University's Mathematics Annual? Then what you are talking about is..." Chen Zhuoyang reacted and looked at Qiao Yu in confusion.
"Director Tian said that the Princeton Mathematics Annual doesn't seem to be divided into AB series, right?" Qiao Yu said honestly. "Oh, that's right, that... it's really not divided. And..." Chen Zhuoyang replied with trembling lips. He said, he hesitated to speak. Qiao Yu looked at his senior brother curiously and asked: "What else is there, senior brother?"
Chen Zhuoyang was silent for a moment and said: "Next time someone asks you, don't mention the Annals of Mathematics, just say the abbreviation of Ann Math.Annalatics, which can directly distinguish it from other mathematics annuals."
Qiao Yu understood and thanked sincerely: "That's it. Thank you, senior brother, for giving me popular science. You know so much."
Looking at Senior Brother Chen across from him, who seemed to not know where to put his hands, Qiao Yu finally felt a lot more comfortable. In fact, there is nothing wrong with being assigned tasks by his mentor. As long as he produces results, he can make his senior brothers jealous to the point of beating. Shivering.
And it was really not that he wanted to show off or sing, it was his senior brother who took the initiative to ask. He just answered truthfully. "Haha..." Probably because he didn't know how to handle Qiao Yu's thank you, Chen Zhuoyang laughed twice.
Qiao Yu also lowered his head to read the paper, but kept paying attention to the movement of his senior brother's hands from the corner of his eye. If senior brother Chen couldn't figure it out, it would be bad to pick up the tea cup and pour it directly on him. He didn't know the water in the tea cup. Hot or not...
If something went wrong, he planned to stand up immediately and never give his senior brother a chance to feel physically comfortable. Fortunately, he could see that his senior brother had obviously been distracted and didn't make any unusual movements.
It's good that Qiao Yu can also focus more on the paper itself.
Then he soon discovered that his senior fellow's basic skills in writing papers were really good. Whether it was the introduction or the subsequent proof process, at least graduate students like Lao Xue couldn't touch it.
The structure of the paper is very clear, the logic is rigorous, the arguments are clear, the language is fluent, the vocabulary is very rich, and the format cannot find any faults. In short, Qiao Yu thought that the shortcomings that made the instructor dissatisfied could not be found in this paper. , it can even be said that his writing skills are much better than his.
Really, the paper Qiao Yu feels very comfortable.
Of course, he was not completely unable to see the problem. For example, he had vaguely seen the tools used by his senior brother somewhere before. At most, they were slightly deformed. He probably browsed the paper once, but he didn't feel inspired. Well, he probably felt that
Just like watching...
In other words, this is probably a very good hydrology article, with no innovative ideas or novel tools. Since it has not solved any big problems, it has not raised any new conjectures.
After reading the same paper, Qiao Yu discovered that this paper was indeed not something he was qualified to revise...
Of course, that doesn't mean it's completely impossible, but if he were to change it, introducing a bunch of new things wouldn't be called a modification, but a rewrite.
"Well, senior brother, your paper is very well written. It is logically rigorous and easy to understand." After briefly reading the paper, Qiao Yu gave a sincere evaluation. "Haha..."
Chen Zhuoyang smiled self-deprecatingly and said, "You're right. Easy-to-understand is actually the reason why my boss always thinks I can't graduate. It's too easy-to-understand and there's nothing innovative. It's just using some existing tools.
"Extension."
Qiao Yu thought for a while and comforted him: "Actually, if you were to change places, with your level, senior brother, you would have graduated. And if you were just a teaching professor, your level would definitely be enough!"
This sentence made Chen Zhuoyang want to cry.
Really, after knowing Qiao Yu for so long, this young junior brother who made him envious and jealous finally had something to say to his heart.
As long as he wasn't here, he might have graduated long ago. Even if he had a different tutor, he might have been able to graduate. Who knows, but now he is stuck here due to some strange combination of circumstances, and he doesn't even feel embarrassed.
The emotion of resentment.
The papers of the senior students who graduated before him can be found on the Internet. He even attended the senior students' graduation defense at the scene. Naturally, he knew very well what Director Tian's requirements were and where the gap was between him.
To put it simply, he spent four years determining one thing: he was not suitable for scientific research!
"So, junior brother, senior brother, you must pay more attention to this matter. As long as I can get Mr. Yuan to give me a few pointers, senior brother will be very grateful." "Well, senior brother, I will try my best to ask my grandfather!" Qiao
