Chapter 112 is from the Mathematics Annual
Of course Qiao Yu has nothing to dare to answer the phone. He hesitated just now to give face to the instructor...
He can't keep pretending to be stupid. The conflict between the mentor and the master opposite, or in that case, is not pretending to be stupid, but treating the mentor and grandpa as fools.
Qiao Yu rarely does smart things, but he often does bold things.
So after Tian Yanzhen said those words with a half-smile, Qiao Yu answered the phone in front of his tutor without hesitation.
"Hey, grandpa, morning...ah, no, good at noon."
"No, I'm still at the instructor's place...Yes, yes, it's Director Tian's place. He called me early in the morning I was called over the phone...yes, to read the paper...still there, he is right next to me , 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 just said Also asked me this question... Yes, 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 writing this paper, I have never discussed this matter with anyone else. ! ”
“…That’s it, thank you so much, Grandpa…Yeah…I understand this…I’m not proud, really…that’s right…you really don’t have to follow Tian. Would you like to chat with the guide for a few words... 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 headphones and calmed down. He put the phone, which was already a little warm, to his ear and said in a deep voice: "Hello, Mr. Yuan."
"I have always thought that you have the best luck among my students! Now it seems that it is indeed That’s right!”
Hearing the familiar voice, Tian Yan was really emotional.
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 Chinese mathematicians of the same generation. At this age, the students he accepts are also better than those of the same generation of mathematicians... more than a little bit. Even much better than the students from the old man opposite.
Doing scientific research, Tian Yan really doesn’t think it’s 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 would have gone to the CMO site on a whim. When he met Qiao Yu, he would have seen the learning experience on this guy’s computer. , IMO, it might be too late to wait until later.
So when Xue Song was transferred to Yanbei, in addition to letting him take Qiao Yu with him, he also had the intention of reciprocating a favor.
But the reason why Tian Yanzhen didn’t want to argue at all was that he could hear the sour taste in his tone...
Yes, others may not be able to hear it, but he can hear it...
So Wen Yan replied: "What the teacher said is that we have indeed been lucky in recent years. Especially last year, too. I accidentally thought about it and wanted to go out and take a look, but I came across a piece of jade. I also want to thank the teacher. Help me with the carving."
The person on the other side was silent for a moment and said, "Although your knowledge is not good after all, since my grandson is willing to become your teacher, please pay more attention to this. As we get older, the right way is to stop fighting for fame and wealth and 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." It is not easy to be a mathematician who is not inferior to anyone else, 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 meticulous. I taught him about mathematical quantization problems that day, and he only spent ten minutes on it. You can master it in minutes and use it in examples in the paper
This is reflected in the proof process of lemmas 3 and 4 of the quantum homology category group in this paper. You can take a closer look at these two lemmas, and you can probably understand the meaning of those ten minutes. "
The other side was silent for a long time again, and then a sentence floated into Tian Yanzhen's ears: "Then you can do it for yourself, I'm hanging up. "
"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 simplify it out of habit. I'm your student, let's learn In mathematics, it has become a biological instinct to simplify complex formulas when they see them. Well, do you think this explanation is reasonable? "
It does sound very reasonable.
But Tian Yanzhen just stared at Qiao Yu quietly until the young man was almost embarrassed. Tian Yanzhen couldn't hold it back and the corners of his mouth gradually turned up.
So he simply nodded and said, "It's indeed quite reasonable. So what did your grandfather just say to you?"
Although Qiao Yu answered the phone in front of him, But I could only vaguely hear the voice on the other end of the phone, and I could only guess at 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."
Tian. Yan Zhen 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 a conjecture , and it has been proved that at least in the known curve library, your conclusion is correct.
This is just like using B in your paper. Some of the conclusions of the SD conjecture are true. Although the BSD conjecture has not been fully proved, some of the conclusions have been recognized and should be used by everyone!
Plus, there are many innovations in your ideas, especially the geometric constraint parameters. I guess the content of this section, so I think this article will be submitted to the four major companies after it is verified by the supercomputer. No problem. Do you have a favorite journal that you particularly want to publish in? "
Qiao Yu shook his head and said: "No, I only know the four major ones you mentioned to me before. The most influential journal in mathematics. I don’t know exactly what the differences are between these four journals. How about choosing one?”
Tian Yanzhen pondered for a moment and said: "Then vote for AnnMath. The editorial office of this annual mathematics journal is at Princeton University. Do you remember Professor Zhang who attended the seminar last time? He is now at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton. ”
Looking at Qiao Yu’s confused look, Tian Yan Zhen explained: "This is not to say that your paper cannot meet the standards of AnnMath. The main reason is that you are afraid of interference from factors outside the scope of academic research. Especially since you are only sixteen years old this year. 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 asked subconsciously: "What does academic guarantee mean?"
Tian Yan really smiled and replied: "Academic guarantee is a very serious matter, such as your paper. If no one can find a counterexample within a period of time that is valid for almost all known curves, then It is possible to transform a conjecture into a theorem
That is to say, 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. . It is not borrowed from others, this is an academic guarantee.
As the corresponding author, I can also provide academic guarantee for you, and Mr. Yuan will not mind doing academic guarantee for you if you want to come. But in recent years, we have mainly been engaged in mathematics activities in China, and our international influence is not great. If Professor Zhang is willing to vouch for you, the doubts will be much smaller.
Of course, it may not only be Professor Zhang, but also the visiting Professor Robert who would like 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! ”
Yes, when he said these words, Tian Yan was really lucky that he made that phone call to Zhang Shuwen that day.
So this paper shows that there is a thread to follow.
Because he also He didn't expect that Qiao Yu could complete a paper that was qualified to be submitted to the Big Four in such a short period of time. In the past six months, he asked Qiao Yu to come to Yanbei in advance to save him some time and lay a solid foundation in advance. As a result, this guy handed over A different answer!
Tian Yanzhen believed more than anyone else that Qiao Yu would succeed, but he never thought it would happen so soon! I just celebrated my sixteenth birthday!
What else could he say? It was originally an advance plan with a view 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 Qiao Yu is even more unpredictable. A surprise popped up inadvertently.
"That's right! 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 enthusiasm for academic research. But since he has been able to achieve results, God knows what will happen in the future. If there is any surprise, it is better to let him know in advance.
“The academic world is also a world. 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. You claim to have proved a certain thesis. , there may be some flaws or ambiguity in the proof process, and some people will question it
There will also be people who patch up the defective parts and then claim to have proved the problem. It is even further thought that they may even have fabricated the story that their work was about to yield results before, 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 released water for people... That, the results that have been achieved , is it possible to encounter this situation even if there are all research manuscripts? Shouldn’t most professors be gentlemen? "
Tian Yanzhen smiled: "Don't overestimate the average moral standard in academia. Just check out the academic integrity analysis report when you have time. In fact, theoretical mathematics is pretty good. Compared with some research in theoretical physics and applications, forget it, let’s not talk about others...
Hey, in short, someone is willing to endorse your academic achievements, you Remember to be grateful. Because they are putting their academic reputation on the line to prove it for you. Especially when you are starting out, these are a real help in times of need.
The higher your academic reputation, the more people will be willing to vouch for your academic reputation. Until you become a famous mathematician, 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. You vouch for him. If he does commit academic fraud, it will also affect your academic reputation. You can't share much honor, but it's true that everyone loses. ”
Qiao Yu nodded seriously, indicating that he had been taught.
I heard Lao Xue say something before, and he also felt that Professor Xue was most likely because he was not at the top. Being in academia, the things he encountered were a bit mixed.
But after hearing what Director Tian said, Qiao Yu also realized that the higher the level, the greater the competition.
Listening to what Director Tian meant, grabbing the achievements of newcomers not only exists in the academic world, but there are many ways to do it...
This further increases the need for Qiao Yu to catch both sides, and both sides. Be determined.
Having the two banners of Huaqing and Yanbei behind him means that the big guys on both sides will help him support his future achievements. If you want to snatch his achievements, you have to weigh your own weight first. Enough or not. It is said that mathematicians are the only field in which one can work alone, but now it seems that before one has sufficient strength, one has to work together to keep warm.
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 results this time, It is impossible for anyone to covet you.
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 enough to win the trust of international academics. ”
Qiao Yu raised his hand, and then said sincerely: "Teacher is wise!"
After all, Tian Yanzhen had decided to hold that seminar.
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 be said that it was unintentional.
However, Tian Yanzhen didn’t explain anything, but changed the topic: "Besides, under the current situation, I can’t treat you as an ordinary student. So you should study step by step in your own way. Come on, but you also have 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 topic mainly because Teacher Xue told me at that time that there was a genius opposite who submitted an article for a top conference when he was participating in military training as an undergraduate. Thesis. I thought that as your student, I must not be worse than the other person.
Then I happened to encounter such an opportunity. Yes, I just try to do it when I have some ideas. 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 this shortcoming. ”
Although Qiao Yu has always been shameless in his heart and believed that he would 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. After completing this paper, he has established his position in the minds of Director Tian and the opposite teacher, and then 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 getting first place, I will enroll in school next year and start to officially enjoy my undergraduate life.
Like Schultz, he completed his credits in two years, and then started graduate school and worked on projects.
The key point is to enjoy two years of undergraduate life.
With the foundation laid by this thesis, he now dares not to think about how enjoyable his undergraduate life will be in the next two years. Think about it, covered by two giant Buddhas, he can walk sideways in the School of Mathematics and the Institute of Mathematics of two universities at the same time.
By the way, he can enjoy the admiration of his peers. He can take professional classes if he wants to. If he doesn’t want to, the professor will not make things difficult for him, but will reflect on why he can’t keep him. After all, according to his understanding, even most of Professor Yan Bei has not published articles in the four top mathematics journals...
It's beautiful to think about such a life.
But it will be different if you do the task of doing the project on the stall.
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 have the mood to show off his superiority in front of his classmates.
Mathematical research should be a very happy thing. But it is different when shouldering 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 to achieve results!
Obviously, Qiao Yu hopes to live the carefree life of the man 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. .
It’s okay if you don’t have that ability. If you have the ability, of course you have to set a goal for yourself. Since the curve has an upper bound, If you are so interested, why not try to solve problems related to the 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 relationship between the multiplicity of zero points and poles, etc.
If you are interested, I will recommend a few papers to you today. You can go back and study them first. After determining the proposition, when we meet next week, we will determine a more specific direction. ”
Qiao Yu saw that Director Tian was serious.
His dear mentor no longer plans to talk about martial ethics!
I really want to go to the other side to complain to my grandfather. But suddenly he felt that if he complained about something else, grandpa would most likely stand by him. Here, this is the only thing that might not only not side with him, but also give him more pressure. For a moment, I felt a little depressed.
But then I thought about it, although I couldn't resist this matter, but the research direction. You must have your own opinion
After all, he was not that interested in studying curvilinear rational number problems, 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 Right? "
This time, Tian Yan was really speechless as he stared at Qiao Yu...
Good guy, BSD guessed that he already had an idea. If he doesn't want to let this guy do it, he might as well change him. More challenging.
Haha, Riemann Hypothesis!
After a long silence, Tian Yanzhen slowly said: "Why don't you call Mr. Yuan on the other side and ask what topic his mentor recommended to him?"
Qiao Yu nodded calmly and said: "I know, it's the Riemann Hypothesis! Teacher Xue told me about it."
Tian Yanzhen asked: "Then you still choose the Riemann Hypothesis? "
Qiao Yu said: "I'm really interested in the distribution of prime numbers!" Tian Yanzhen pondered for a moment and then said: "You want to put forward an unrealistic proposition, but then you can't do it. There's no psychological burden, right? ? Being interested in the distribution of prime numbers does not necessarily mean doing the Riemann Hypothesis.
In this way, I will give you a topic to study the randomness of analytic number theory. Generate a model and explore the effectiveness of the model in predicting the distribution of prime numbers. The requirement is to make a more accurate prediction model of prime numbers, or a formula 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 that I can do it."
Tian Yanzhen nodded and said without refutation: "Me neither Even if you say you can’t do it, you must first determine one before choosing the Riemann Hypothesis Is it an entry point? Just study it behind closed doors? I think this proposition can provide you with a more mature idea for solving the Riemann Hypothesis in the future.
This is also a topic for your poor foundation. randomized study It 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. Practical calculation verification allows you to quickly become familiar with the technical methods of cutting-edge mathematical research. That’s it!”
Qiao Yu took a deep breath, then nodded with a grimace, and replied: “Okay, Tian. Director, I 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. But you don't need to queue for the account I gave you, and you can use the resources as you like, but don't A 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 you need to modify it. Or fine-tuning, we will notify you. Your next task is to think carefully about how to proceed with the next topic.
Submit a project progress report every week. Of course, daily study cannot be left behind, and weekly reading is not allowed. The results of the paper must be submitted on Monday, so why not submit them together and I will look at them together?"
Tian Yanzhen warned them one by one.
Qiao Yu felt numb and said dullly: "Um... Director Tian, my IMO phase one training is about to start 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 while, and said, "Well, okay, you can treat the two-stage training and going abroad to take the IMO exam as a holiday. But apart from these three periods, including the future cold During the summer vacation, the above is the daily homework, and all must be submitted
Of course, the project progress report is required. Report, it won’t be necessary after it’s 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 an undergraduate and the other party was a doctor.
If the instructor said this, he was already being trained as a graduate student. Arguing is nothing but self-defeating.
He can 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!
Having spoken such unreasonable words means that there is no room for change.
“Understood, Director Tian.”
“Okay, let’s go eat. You can relax a little today and go to the lake or go to the stadium. Give yourself a long day. It’s okay 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 he must move his heart and forbearance and strengthen his abilities. It can't be..."
On the way to the cafeteria, Qiao Yu memorized this "Mencius: Gao Zixia" over and over again, and finally felt better.
No way, people always have to be good at comforting themselves.
Life is hard, and without any spiritual support, it is easy to collapse emotionally. But who can blame it? After all, he is still too good.
The only solution to 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 depression, but when I arrived at the entrance of the research center, I was too lazy to move.
Actually, there’s nothing interesting to see. After all, the senior sister can’t help him with his project, so it’s better to go back and take a nap.
Not long after I returned to the dormitory, Lao Xue came.
"Go to class this morning? Didn't you say you want to write a paper these days?"
Qiao Yu feels that Lao Xue has been a little strange recently, as if he feels uncomfortable after not seeing him for a day, and he comes here every day trip.
Actually, he has passed the initial adaptation period now and no one needs to watch him like this every day. But it's 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 became 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 they match the results saved in the database, we are qualified to publish the four top journals! If they don’t match, The paper may need to be revised.
By the way, Director Tian also suggested that I publish Princeton’s Annual Journal of Mathematics. Mr. Xue, you have a Ph.D. The depressed mood became a little happier.
After all, it is one of the four major mathematics journals recognized in the world. Many professors are proud to publish in journals of this caliber.
However, Qiao Yu seemed to have forgotten that Lao Xue was one of them. His words were actually like stabbing Lao Xue in the chest, although he really didn't mean it.
So he heard Old Xue reply calmly: "Yeah, awesome."
This tone made Qiao Yu feel something in his heart, a little melancholy, wasn't it? He is now Will you accidentally touch the sensitive part of the professor's heart?
After thinking for a while, I added: "It's okay, Teacher Xue, hasn't the verification been successful? Maybe it won't pass the supercomputer verification, and I have to change it."
Xue Song thought about it and seemed to feel that his emotions were indeed It didn’t make sense, 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 PhD at Princeton, my supervisor was very close to Professor Lott Dugan, the editor-in-chief of the Annals of Mathematics. Good friends.
But even so, I was not able to publish an article in the Annals of Mathematics. Of course it's not that I don't want to, nor is it that the instructor deliberately avoids suspicion and is unwilling to recommend me. It's purely because my results are not up to that level, so you kid can just have fun. "
"Hehe..." Qiao Yu laughed twice.
Old Xue is a kind person. He cannot find fun in kind people. This is his moral bottom line.
And there are quite a lot of unkind people around him, such as Yu Yongjun and Yu Wei, who are not kind people.
"Okay, I just want to see you and not celebrate with you. Okay, I'm going to get busy first. "After saying that, Xue Song turned around and left without hesitation.
Although being Qiao Yu's mentor is a kind of nurturing pleasure, it is inevitable that you will also feel frustrated. He also needs to do a good job in psychological adjustment.
Just like what he said, he took advantage of the right time, place and people, but still 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 a paper certified by China's top mathematicians as being qualified to publish on it.
With this alone, Qiao Yu has instantly killed 80% of the mathematics researchers in China.
This actually made Xue Song very happy, but if he was included in the 80%, he would not be so happy. The mood is too complicated and naturally needs to be adjusted.
Qiao Yu felt quite complicated when he saw Lao Xue leaving without hesitation, but what could he do? I could only say to Lao Xue's back: "Teacher Xue, please walk slowly, I won't send you off."
Xue Song didn't look back, he just raised his hand and waved casually.
Qiao Yu sighed and was just about to take a nap when Senior Brother Chen upstairs walked into his room with a bound A4 paper in one hand and his tea cup in the other. I forgot to explain: "I just came down when I saw Professor Xue leaving the window."
As expected, when you are not lucky, you can't do anything you want to do. Qiao Yu sighed in his heart, but he was still enthusiastic received the senior brother.
"Senior Brother Chen, sit down. Does this mean the thesis has been completed?"
"Well, yes, it was almost completed last month. This is not an attempt to keep improving. I am revising some content and improving the proof process. I think you will go to Huaqing on Wednesday. I will show it to you first. If you have any suggestions, I will have time to revise it 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." 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 teacup on Qiao Yu's desk, and said: "Hey, you're welcome. You can finish a paper so quickly, and you can still be praised by your boss. Asking you to talk face to face all morning shows that you really have experience in writing thesis.
To tell you the truth, I have never had a tutor specifically call me. I used to discuss the treatment of the paper, and basically asked me to revise or rewrite it. By the way, what did the instructor say? "
Qiao Yu has already opened the book. thesis, and then answered casually: "The tutor said that we need to use supercomputing to verify it. 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 our mathematics progress than to publish it.”
“Um? Shuangdan University also has a mathematics annual journal?” Qiao Yu raised his head and asked.
"Didn't your boss suggest you publish it? Didn't he explain it to you? Series A is a Chinese bimonthly, and Series B is an English quarterly. Of course...wait a minute, you are not from Double Dan University. Annual Journal of Mathematics Series B? Then you are talking about..." Chen Zhuoyang reacted and looked at Qiao Yu in confusion.
"Director Tian said it's the Princeton Mathematics Annual. It doesn't seem to be divided into AB series, right?" Qiao Yu said honestly.
"Oh, that's right, that...it really doesn't matter. And..." Chen Zhuoyang replied with trembling lips, hesitating 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 say Annals of Mathematics, just say AnnMath. Annals of Mathematics The abbreviation can be directly followed by They are distinguished from other mathematics annuals. "
Qiao Yu understood and thanked sincerely: "That's it. Thank you, senior brother, for giving me the popular science. You know so much."
Looking at the other side. Senior Brother Chen didn't seem to 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 your instructor. As long as you produce results, you can make your senior brothers tremble with envy.
And it's really not that he took the initiative to show off or make noises. 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 he kept paying attention to the movement of his senior brother's hands out of 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 knew whether the water in the tea cup was hot or not...
If something went wrong, he planned to stand up immediately and never give his senior brother a chance to get physically comfortable.
Fortunately, it can be seen that the senior brother has been distracted and there is no abnormal movement.
It's good. Qiao Yu can also focus more on the paper itself.
Then he soon discovered that his senior brother’s basic skills in writing papers were really good. Whether it's the introduction or the subsequent proof process, at least those graduate students like Lao Xue can'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 none of the shortcomings that made his instructor dissatisfied could be found in this paper. It could even be said that his writing skills were much better than his.
Really, the paper Qiao Yu feels very comfortable.
Of course he is not totally blind to the problem. For example, he had vaguely seen the tools used by his senior brother somewhere before. At most, they were a little deformed. He browsed through the paper and didn't feel inspired at all. Well, it probably feels 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 found that he was not qualified to revise this paper...
Of course, it does not mean that it is completely impossible, but if he was asked to revise it, Introducing a bunch of new things doesn't seem to be called modification, but rewriting.
"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. ”
Qiao Yu thought for a while and comforted: "Actually, if I 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 junior brother who made him envious and jealous finally had something to say that reached the bottom of his heart.
As long as he was not here, he might have graduated long ago. Even if he had a different tutor, he might have been able to graduate. Who knows that he is now stuck here due to some strange combination of circumstances? I'm not even embarrassed to feel any resentment.
The papers of the seniors who graduated before him can be found on the Internet. He even attended the seniors' 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 is not suitable for scientific research!
"So, junior brother, senior brother, you must pay more attention to this matter. As long as you can give me a few pointers from Mr. Yuan, senior brother will be grateful."
"Well, senior brother. , I will try my best to seek help from Grandpa Shiqiu!" Qiao Yu solemnly promised.
Thanks to Shopee for the reward and encouragement!
