Chapter 146 A thesis defense turned into a global conference of mathematicians
May.
An explosive news came out from Tangdu Jiaotong University.
Two presidents and academicians of Tangdu Jiaotong University spread the news to the outside world and sent invitations to scholars and professors in mathematics from all over the world.
Hodge’s guess was cracked and proven by Wang Donglai, a student from his school!
This proof will serve as Wang Donglai’s thesis. At the same time, Wang Donglai will also hold an academic lecture at Tangdu Jiaotong University.
This news was like Mars hitting the earth, instantly igniting heated discussions in the mathematics community.
Scholars from major universities and research institutes at home and abroad have focused their attention on Wang Donglai’s upcoming thesis defense.
Some people think that Wang Donglai and Tang Dujiao are sensationalizing and deliberately making big news to attract the attention of the world.
Some people think that Wang Donglai is just a young man. After achieving certain results, his mentality becomes wandering and he wants to make trouble. Huo Qi speculates.
There are also people who have great confidence in Wang Donglai and are waiting expectantly for the date of Wang Donglai's thesis defense.
Despite the commotion at home and abroad, Wang Donglai is hiding in school at the moment and has never gone out at all.
In fact, after the news spread, he became a popular person.
Now, there are countless reporters outside Tangdujiao Gate, all wanting to interview him as soon as possible.
Fortunately, Tangdu Jiaotong University was prepared in advance and strictly controlled entry and exit, so it maintained a quiet learning environment for Wang Donglai.
...
“Submit a temporary side task!”
After Qiu Chengtong’s mathematics competition ended, Wang Donglai chose to submit a temporary side task.
In the 4th Qiu Shing Tong Mathematics Competition held this year, Xu Zhibin was like a god coming down to earth, directly winning the Qiu Shing Tong Individual All-Around Gold Medal, Xu Baoluan Gold Medal, Lin Jiaqiao Gold Medal, Zhou Weiliang Gold Medal, Chen Shengshen Gold Medal, and Hua Luogeng Gold Medal.
There are seven awards in total. Except for the team competition, which was not won because it was not combined with the participating team from Tangdu Jiaotong University, Xu Zhibin won the gold medal in the other six individual competitions.
Under Xu Zhibin, Peking University's top player Wei Dongyi won five silver medals.
If such results were announced in previous years, I am afraid it would have detonated major university circles and the online world.
At the same time, Tangdu Jiaotong University will also vigorously train and support Xu Zhibin.
But unfortunately, Wang Donglai came out of Jiaotong University in Tangdu.
Furthermore, when Xu Zhibin won six gold medals and was interviewed, he told reporters that the reason why he was able to achieve such results was because he studied with Wang Donglai and was trained for a period of time.
Among his awards, more than half of the credit goes to Wang Dong.
As soon as these words came out, Wang Donglai's reputation was even higher.
No one will think that this is a lie. Xu Zhibin is also the top scholar in science in Qin Province, and now he has received such an honor. If he hadn’t recognized Wang Donglai from the bottom of his heart, and Wang Donglai really helped Xu Zhibin, he How could he say such a thing?
Those who do good things even call Wang Donglai and Xu Zhibin the gods and tyrants of Tang Capital Jiaotong University.
Study god Wang Donglai, academic tyrant Xu Zhibin.
It just so happens that the two of them were the top scorers in arts and sciences in the 2012 Qin Province College Entrance Examination, adding another layer of legend.
When Xu Zhibin won six individual gold awards, Wang Donglai checked the evaluation of temporary side tasks.
As expected, plus the grand prize from the previous US competition.
The temporary side mission has reached the standard for receiving rewards. Although it is not the highest standard evaluation, it is not bad.
“Ding dong! Congratulations to the player for completing the temporary side mission and receiving the skill reward.”
"Ding dong, congratulations to the player for obtaining the skill [Preaching and Teaching]."
[Preaching and Teaching: Ancient scholars must have teachers. A teacher is someone who preaches, imparts knowledge, and resolves doubts. 】
Looking at the skills that appeared on the system panel, Wang Donglai nodded with satisfaction.
This skill is extremely useful. When he saw this skill, he thought of how to use it.
Honestly speaking, the only trustworthy people around Wang Donglai are the group of friends from Tangdu Jiaotong University, who have proven their IQ and abilities through the college entrance examination.
The others, like two cousins and two cousins can only be described as ordinary people and middle-aged people.
When Wang Donglai really does something big, although it will not become a family business, the glory will shine on these close people to some extent.
If they cannot show extraordinary abilities or have extraordinary ideological cognition, the relationship between them and Wang Donglai will only become weaker and weaker.
Now with this skill, you can not only improve the abilities of your family and friends, but also cultivate your own talents.
One of the most misunderstood sayings of great men is that the line is wrong, the more knowledge, the more reactionary!
What Wang Donglai wants to accomplish requires a group of people who truly recognize his ideas.
Concept comes first, ability comes second.
Now with the skill [Preaching and Teaching], the biggest shortcoming has been made up for.
"Like a tiger adding wings, like a dragon entering the sea, great things can be accomplished!"
Wang Donglai sighed in a formal way, and a smile appeared on Wang Donglai's face. Anyone who saw it knew that he was in a good mood now. .
In the library, Wang Qingchen and others who were reading beside him were also a little confused. They didn't know why Wang Donglai suddenly became so happy.
"Come east, what big things can be accomplished? Is there any progress on your thesis?"
Wang Qingchen asked curiously.
Looking at the curious looks cast by the three women, Wang Donglai's heart moved and he was ready to try the effect of this skill.
So, he said to the three of them: "It's not that the paper has made any progress, but it is indeed a good thing. Let's go to the study room and check your study progress."
After hearing the first half of the sentence, the three women still looked happy, feeling happy for him.
But when the second half of the sentence came out, the three women became expressionless and dejected.
Although this was the case, the three women were not unhappy and felt a sense of resistance.
As Wang Donglai's achievements become greater and greater, I don't know how many people are envious of them for being so close to Wang Donglai.
This is especially true for the two girls, Chen Mengni and Guo Xing.
Wang Qingchen is Wang Donglai's cousin, so it's natural for them to be close to each other, but Chen Mengni and Guo Xing make many people envious.
Now that Wang Donglai has cracked the proof, Huo Qi guessed that if it is true, it will be a reward of one million US dollars.
There will definitely be a reward from the school.
Including last year's 1.5 million, Wang Donglai is a walking multi-millionaire in the eyes of everyone. Young and rich, talented and handsome.
I don’t know how many senior students at Tangdu Jiaotong University are thinking about such a junior, and even many girls in the same class are wondering if there is any way to get to know him.
Soon, in the study room.
After being beaten, the three women began to listen to Wang Donglai's lecture.
After hearing this, the three women felt something different.
What Wang Dong said was like magic. Knowledge points that were originally extremely difficult suddenly became easy.
It can be understood and absorbed quickly without any effort.
It feels to them as if their brains are enlightened, they can understand it as soon as they hear it, and they can understand it as soon as they learn it.
In this state, the three of them slowly felt the charm of being immersed in the ocean of knowledge.
Wang Donglai could also see the changes in the expressions of the three of them, and knew that the three of them must have gained a lot.
“If all teachers could have such passivity, I’m afraid students who don’t like learning would also like learning.”
Dual-purpose, while giving lectures, he sighed.
After knowing the effect of the skill [Preaching and Teaching], before Wang Donglai said anything, the three women took the initiative to listen to Wang Donglai's lectures more in the future.
Of course he has no objection.
The three girls have always been regarded as preliminary small team members.
Since he is trustworthy, and now he has made up for his shortcomings in ability, it is naturally impossible for him to give up.
Time passed so quietly.
Wang Donglai has neither registered a Weibo account nor any other external media and social accounts. He only has an email address that has been circulated by many people.
In the mailbox, there are not only masterpieces of self-proven works sent by civil sciences from various places, but also many people asking Wang Donglai for math problems in the mail, and some people have sent their own papers and want to ask Wang Donglai to revise and give advice. .
There are countless emails.
Wang Donglai read it briefly and deleted all the useless emails.
May 21st.
After discussions between Tangdu Jiaotong University and Wang Donglai, this day was the day for Wang Donglai's thesis defense.
An individual defense!
Instead of being put together with other students, the place for the defense was also placed in the last academic lecture hall.
It is both a defense and an academic report.
Xu Songyao said to Wang Donglai with high spirits: "This time, with your light, our school has breathed a sigh of relief. You must know that our school used to be at the top of the national rankings, but now it has fallen to the bottom. , Fortunately, you came out. It seems that I chose the right person when I asked Xiao Zhao to go to the admissions office."
Wang Donglai naturally knew why Xu Songyao said this.
Originally, my graduation defense would attract a lot of attention, but now it is reported that I have proved Hodge's guess and regard it as my graduation thesis.
As a result, the graduation defense, which was originally a high-profile topic, has become popular again.
There is no doubt that in the face of Wang Donglai's graduation thesis, whether it really proves Hodge's guess or not, teachers with average level do not dare to evaluate it, nor do they have the ability to judge.
After all, to be honest, Wang Donglai's mathematical level has already surpassed that of ordinary professors and scholars.
So the only ones who can serve as defense teachers are those famous scholars and professors in the field of mathematics.
This quota instantly became a hot commodity.
As long as they can serve as defense teachers, they will have proved their academic status. At the same time, once it is confirmed that the crack has been solved and Hodge's guess has been proven, they will also gain great fame.
In this way, the two academician presidents of Tangdu Jiaotong University became a breakthrough.
People from all walks of life contacted the two people one after another and recommended themselves to be the defense teachers.
So, when the lineup of Wang Donglai’s thesis defense teachers was revealed, everyone who cared about this thesis defense was shocked.
All academicians!
Among them are the president of the Chinese Mathematical Society, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and the director of a university mathematics institute...
Taking out the titles one by one is simply blinding.
Scholars from top foreign research institutes and universities also came in person, and the lineup was far larger than the last academic seminar.
Princeton, Clay Institute, MIT, Cambridge University, Oxford University, Harvard University, ETH Zurich, University of Chicago, University of Paris VI...
Fields Several award winners even came in person.
Sing Tong Yau, Terence Tao, Laurent Laforge, and Andrew Wiles...
Even Grigory Perel, who did not want to see people and stayed away from the crowd Man is here too.
The stars are so bright that this lineup is simply grander than the so-called Global Congress of Mathematicians.
Seeing that the thesis defense of a college student from Tangdu Jiaotong University caused such a situation, Tangdu also gave the greatest support.
The main station in the capital once again sent reporters and teams to record this extremely rare scene.
Originally it was just a thesis defense, but now it has slowly turned into a conference with more meaning.
There are more than 4,000 mathematics professors from major universities across the country, as well as scholars and professors from all over the world.
Such a glorious scene made Qingbei grit his teeth.
Liu Qun, the former director of the Admissions Office of Peking University and Wei Jian, the director of the Admissions Office of Tsinghua University, were also criticized by relevant leaders.
Both of them knew that they missed Wang Donglai. As Wang Donglai's achievements became greater and greater, their position became increasingly unstable.
Among them, the leaders of the Northern Qing Dynasty also had the idea of moving Wang Donglai's thesis defense to the capital.
This proposal was only briefly mentioned, but was firmly and decisively rejected by Tangdu Jiaotong University.
After all, Wang Donglai was a student at Jiaotong University in Tangdu, and it was his graduation thesis. It couldn't be justified emotionally and rationally, so Qingbei gave up the idea.
In this way, Wang Donglai’s much-anticipated thesis defense officially began.
Please support me. Today is already the 24th of the twelfth lunar month, and the Chinese New Year is coming soon. If everyone’s data is good, whether it is the New Year’s Eve or the first day of the Lunar New Year, I will still keep updating. Please support me... …
