Chapter 568 Two Thesis Defenses Worth Remembering in History!

Chapter 568 Two thesis defenses worth remembering in history!
Qin Ke chose "Derivation and Proof of the First Four Groups of Expressions of the Riemann Hypothesis" for his master's dissertation, and "Proof of Goldbach's Conjecture" for his doctoral dissertation. He had no supervisor in the Department of Mathematics, so the Department Then he arranged Academician Tian Jianlan to be his postgraduate tutor and doctoral tutor. It is said that this only nominal tutor has caused the professors in the Department of Mathematics to fight over their heads. After all, even in name, he is also Qin Ke’s teacher!
Now who doesn't know that Qin Ke has a great chance to win the Fields Medal?
The mentor of the Philby Award winner can put three layers of gold paper on his face!

In the end, it was Vice President Gu Bojun who made the final decision, asking Academician Tian Jianlan to take Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun's postgraduate tutor and doctoral tutor together in one fell swoop.

No one dared to object to this candidate. After all, Academician Tian was originally Ning Qingyun's teacher. Qin Ke also wanted to study under her, but Academician Tian Jianlan's self-effacing talent was not enough to teach Qin Ke. Let it go, but Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun still called Tian Jianlan "teacher" afterwards.

What's more, Tian Jianlan is currently the only full-time mathematician in the Mathematics Department of Kiyoki University!
——Here, Mr. Qiu is a foreign academician, and the Qiuzhen Academy (Mathematics and Applied Mathematics) is considered a semi-independent department, not affiliated to the Department of Mathematics.

Therefore, many professors can only half envy and half lament that academician Tian Jianlan has really turned around in the past year or so.

Qin Ke selected all previous academic achievements, and the thesis can be used with a little modification.Because during this period of time, all his mathematical thoughts were spent on the derivation of the fifth set of expressions of Riemann's conjecture, and he had no energy to prepare a new paper alone.

But Ning Qingyun is different. She concentrated most of her energy and spent nearly ten days to complete the half-written thesis, and finally formed two thesis with different themes, which were used for the defense of the master's degree. "Innovative Applications of Stochastic Systems and Algebraic Geometry in Number Theory" and "Resolving Theoretical Error Bounds in Deterministic Simulation Methods by Functional Analysis" for the defense of the doctoral thesis.

Even Qin Ke was surprised by the excellence of these two papers.

The first master's thesis is basically Ning Qingyun's experience in studying "Lime Number Theory Nonlinear Structure Method" in the past few months. It synthesizes the number theory theories of Wang School and Chen School, as well as her own deep understanding. Combining random functions, probability theory and algebraic geometry, she formed a set of new number theory methods almost completely original by her, which is extremely helpful for solving some probability-related number theory problems.

The reason for saying "almost" is because there is a bit of "lime number theory nonlinear structure method" in it, but not much, only about 10%, and more of it is original and deeper innovation.

This thesis alone is enough to be an excellent doctoral thesis, but Ning Qingyun only used it for the defense of his master's degree.

And the other article "Solving Theoretical Error Bound Problems in Deterministic Simulation Methods Through Functional Analysis" is even more remarkable. Ning Qingjun solved the problem in the function The limitations of the error bounds of non-smooth functions under discontinuity and their convergence problems can even be applied to the stock market's short-buying and short-selling option futures operations. It can be said to be an outstanding achievement in the direction of applied mathematics, and it can at least drop 70% of the domestic Qingba in seconds. subject.

In fact, this is also an academic study that Ning Qingjun and Qin Ke tried to trade in US stocks at the beginning of the year, but found that the trend line of US stocks had completely deteriorated, and there was no possibility of improvement in the short term, so they turned to study short-selling index futures. results.

It is the two's stated goal to try to collect money in the U.S. stock market to exercise their abilities and supplement funds for future scientific research.

For this reason, when the two were in Deguo in March, they used about two weeks of free time to analyze a large amount of historical data with the help of low light, and established a mathematical model based on random system and probability theory. After the model was established, it was mainly followed up by Ning Qingyun.

Relying on the automated trading of this mathematical model, the two of them won more than they lost and lost less. The current interest rate of the US stock account of more than 300 million US dollars has nearly doubled to more than 600 million US dollars. The energy was devoted to perfecting the "Nonlinear Structure Method of Lime Number Theory" and overcoming Goldbach's conjecture, but there was no result of updating the mathematical model.

The ability of top mathematicians to make money in the stock market can be seen.

Of course, the premise is that there is a system for buying and selling stock index futures like the US stock market. Otherwise, in a bear market with a unilateral decline, there is no way for the gods not to lose money.

These two papers by Ning Qingyun had been given to Academician Tian Jianlan to read in advance. Academician Tian Jianlan only made a few small comments, and then agreed to use these two papers for her defense.

June [-]th is Friday, and Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun's class schedule is relatively loose every Friday, and the dissertation defense on this day does not need to take up their usual class time.

So early in the morning, the two put on formal clothes and set off to participate in two consecutive defenses from 8:30 to 10:30 in the morning.

The defense of master's and doctoral dissertations, which was specially set up for the two of them, was originally just a formality. Because of Ning Qingjun's attention and careful preparation, and Academician Tian Jianlan's repeated insistence and requirements after seeing the results of his favorite student's thesis, The final standards of these two degree defenses were frighteningly high, and they were also very formal and rigorous.

The judges for the defense are not only the No.1 Mathematics Mr. Qiu in China, Academician Tian Jianlan, and three senior professors from the Department of Mathematics, but also two academicians from Yanda University next door, one of whom is the vice president of Yanda University I don't know how Qingmu and Yanda, two universities that have always been tit-for-tat, reached this agreement.

Such a specification alone was scary enough. What surprised Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun the most was that the school invited the old academician Wang Heng, who was recuperating at home and hadn't been out for a long time, to attend.

The old academician Wang Heng is the only remaining Taishan Beidou in the domestic number theory field, and his status is detached.

Of course, he has another identity, that is, the teacher of Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun, this is a teacher who has truly worshiped a teacher and has the status of a teacher and a student!And the Wang faction headed by the old academician Wang Heng has also become Qin Ke's biggest support and backing in the mathematics world!
Seeing the appearance of Academician Wang, Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun were also very happy, especially seeing that his health improved a lot after practicing the "Oriental Yuan Cultivation Method" and strict diet therapy. They were even more happy.

With Academician Wang's advanced age and original physical condition, he might not be able to survive even two years, but now it seems that as long as he continues to practice the Oriental Yuan-Cultivating Method, he should be able to expect another five or seven years. How can this be? Wouldn't it make Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun, who respected this old man very much, happy?

The eyes of the old academician Wang Heng looked at the two closed disciples, and he was full of relief. He did not expect that his life was about to fall into the ground, but he had such two excellent disciples who solved world-class mathematical problems one after another. Now even the famous Goldbach Conjecture is also trampled underfoot.

You must know that the two are only in their early 20 years old!
The future of Xia Kingdom's mathematics community will undoubtedly be bright.

The old man smiled and said: "Okay, okay. Today, my old man came here specially, just to see your latest achievements. You can start when you are ready, don't worry about me, and don't affect your mood of defense."

Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun saluted the teacher before walking to the front row to sit down.

"Let's get started. Qin Ke will come first." Wei Yuanfu, the dean of the Department of Mathematics who acted as the host, gave instructions, and the cameras at the back were also turned on simultaneously, and a professional cameraman even took pictures.

This time, only two people participated in the defense. The whole process will be recorded, and it will be kept forever in the school archives and publicity department as precious materials and the highest standard and most special graduation defense in the history of Qingmu University.

Qin Ke's defense went very smoothly. His papers were all ready-made and published publicly, with only minor revisions. However, there was only one person in the world who used Riemann's conjecture and Goldbach's conjecture as dissertations for his degree, so the judges all He listened very carefully, and asked many difficult questions during the questioning session.

Qin Ke responded fluently, and the two rounds of degree defense originally scheduled for one hour ended in only 10 minutes.

There was no suspense in the result. After the judges and teachers exchanged opinions and scored, Qin Ke completed the entire defense process, and obtained a 100-point defense score, which was recorded in the student file.

When the applause sounded, Qin Ke bowed to the judges and teachers.

Principal Huang, who was watching, came forward and shook hands with him with a smile: "Congratulations, Dr. Qin Ke. I hope you will continue to achieve greater achievements in mathematics in the future."

From the moment he passed the thesis defense, Qin Ke was already a de facto doctoral student in the Department of Mathematics, and he deservedly called "Dr. Qin Ke".

Ning Qingjun's defense took longer because no one else had read her thesis except Professor Tian Jianlan and Qin Ke.

The girl with a single ponytail stood on the podium, played a PPT, and started her two degree defenses.

For Ning Qingyun, who has stepped onto the international stage many times and gave an one-hour academic report in the conference hall where thousands of mathematicians gathered, the eyes of several heavyweight academicians sitting under the stage will be concentrated. The scene of looking at her PPT with admiration is considered "pediatrics".

So except that she was a little nervous at the beginning, she quickly became calm, and the audience talked freely without any stage fright, and she performed very well.When it came to the defense, Academician Tian Jianlan first asked a few questions such as "How to solve the problem of convergence of the approximate objective function value", "The problem of the convergence of the residual error of the approximate solution was not mentioned in the paper, did you not consider it or based on What's the reason?" Ning Qingyun seriously answered all the in-depth questions.

Academician Tian Jianlan nodded and said: "I have no other questions. Please continue to ask more questions from the judges to strictly evaluate this student's academic ability."

Old Mr. Qiu, who was not willing to praise others so easily, couldn't hold back anymore, and said with a smile: "You Xiaotian... Even if you want to change your way to make your students perform better, you don't have to use such a method. We all admit that she is excellent. Very good, okay? It's not easy for us to ask more tricky questions than you."

Everyone laughed.

Everyone could see that Academician Tian Jianlan was very satisfied with the student he had cultivated, so he would test her with the most tricky questions, allowing Ning Qingyun's mathematical ability to be fully displayed in the question and answer.

The corner of Academician Tian Jianlan's mouth also ticked upwards, but quickly retracted: "All the judges ask questions, this is a necessary process for the defense."

"Okay, then let me ask. Xiao Ning, I see that in your first paper, you used the idea of ​​domain decomposition for continuous partial differential equations. Can you explain this part in detail?"

"Okay, no problem." Ning Qingyun pulled a whiteboard and said while writing: "I will first demonstrate the basic steps of the space reduction method through a pure algebraic method, and then establish a generalized boundary parallel to the integral equation method." Integral equations, starting from local symmetry, reduce infinite calculation problems to finite calculation problems with the help of symmetric coupling, which greatly simplifies the research on prime number interval problems..."

After listening to Mr. Qiu, he couldn't hide his approval in his eyes: "Very good."

Academician Fang Zhiyun, vice president of Yanda, even sighed: "The level of the first thesis alone is more than enough to judge a professor directly. It is too wasteful to use it as a master's dissertation. What, Dr. Ning, there will be more in the future." Are you not interested in teaching in our School of Mathematics at Yanda University? You can directly arrange the salary according to the full professor level."

Old Mr. Qiu raised his brows and scolded with a smile: "Old Fang, you, Master Yan, are full of talents. Don't you think it's too much to come to Qingmu to dig people? I'm not afraid to tell you that Ning Qingyun and Qin Ke have already agreed , I will be a lecturer at my Qiuzhen Academy after September, you want to poach someone? Don’t even think about it.”

Academician Fang Zhiyun pretended to be unfair and said, "What? Just give me the treatment of a mere lecturer? Mr. Qiu, although I respect you, I can't see you neglecting talents like this."

Old Mr. Qiu snorted and said, "The lecturers are only part-time, and they have to continue their studies in physics. Otherwise, you think we will begrudge a professor's treatment, and I can even guarantee that they will become the youngest academicians in ten years..."

"Ahem——!" Director Wei Yuanfu coughed loudly a few times, interrupting the talent competition between the two old academicians: "You two academicians, it's still the defense stage, please don't digress, and..." He pointed Pointing to the camera at the back, he said with a wry smile: "The whole process is being recorded, pay attention to the impact."

Only then did Mr. Qiu and Academician Fang Zhiyun silence their voices, and the other judges also asked a question or two. Ning Qingyun's two degree defenses also ended smoothly without any surprises.

The two went to the dressing room next to them to change into their bachelor's uniforms, and stood side by side on the podium. Under the witness of the flashing lights, President Huang handed over the master's degree and doctoral degree certificates he had prepared to Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun. Congratulations to both of them.

The flash flashed repeatedly, and the camera recorded this moment. Only two people participated, and the nearly two-hour special defense and degree awarding ceremony came to an end. The old academician Wang Heng smiled very gratified throughout the whole process, but at the end of the defense ceremony , After lunch, he returned with the company of his family, and did not stay to spend more time with Qin Ke.In his words, he has no regrets in his life to see two closed-door disciples give such high-quality defenses and successfully obtain doctoral degrees.

After Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun obtained their degrees in mathematics, they still attended classes normally at school. A week later, they passed their bachelor's degree thesis defenses in chemistry and biology.

So far, apart from the fact that they still haven't obtained a degree in physics, they already have three degree certificates in mathematics, one degree certificate in chemistry, and one degree certificate in biology.

Especially in mathematics majors, they already have a doctorate, and with the title of "associate researcher" (equivalent to associate professor), the professors and teachers walking on campus will greet them with a smile and regard them as colleagues look at.

And the day when Qin Ke set off to Italy to receive the award was getting closer.
