Chapter 86 Qiu Chengtong's Recommendation Letter

In this way, Ning Chen started a life of running with Song Xiyun every night.

Ning Chen had to admit that with Song Xiyun running with her every night, her progress was very obvious.

The time it took Ning Chen to run 3000 meters each time gradually increased from 14 minutes to 13 and a half to 13 minutes.

Gradually, Ning Chen also gradually increased the distance she ran each time, and finally she was able to run 5000 meters with Song Xiyun.

Continuous and regular exercise has made Ning Chen's physical strength and energy better and better, and he can conduct research work in a better state every day.

This allowed Ning Chen to make continuous progress in his research topic. Every time Ning Chen introduced his latest progress to Qiu Chengtong, Qiu Chengtong would be amazed.

Finally, after advancing this research topic to a certain stage, Ning Chen felt that he had run out of talents.

"Professor Qiu, with my current ability, I have exhausted all my strengths, and I'm afraid I won't be able to continue. The whole problem is indeed beyond my current ability. I was a little too confident in myself before."

Seeing that there was not much time left in the training camp, Ning Chen knew that he had not completely resolved the disappointment that Qiu Chengtong conjectured within three months.

The work that Ning Chen completed during this period was only starting with digging a hole in the wall, and now he forcibly cut a gap in the wall.

If he wants to move forward, Ning Chen must rely on the power of the system, but this is contrary to the requirements of the system's mission.

Qiu Chengtong was not as disappointed as Ning Chen, but instead had a very satisfied expression on his face.

"Ning Chen, do you know what significance the work you are doing now has in the world of mathematics?"

"Professor Qiu, I...I'm not sure."

"Ning Chen, I can pat my chest and say that your current research results are enough to shock the experts in the field of mathematics. Don't be so presumptuous and write these research results into a paper as soon as possible. This is definitely a paper that can be published. The results were published in four major journals!”

Hearing what Qiu Chengtong said, Ning Chen was also a little surprised.

"Professor Qiu...are these results really of such high value?"

"Why, are you still worried that I will cheat you? I said before that solving the entire Qiu Chengtong's conjecture may require several parts of work. The work you have completed now is the first part of it. Even if you can really solve all the problems at once, it is impossible for so many papers to be published in the same issue of the journal."

With Qiu Chengtong's words, Ning Chen felt a lot of confidence in his heart.

"Okay, Professor Qiu, then I'll go back and write my thesis."

"Well, when writing a thesis, pay attention to compressing the length of the paper as much as possible. A dozen or so pages at most is enough. After all, your research content is too much. It is enough to only reflect the most core steps in the paper."

Ning Chen also knew in his heart that if he presented all the details of his research results in a paper, dozens of pages would definitely not be enough.

"Okay, Professor Qiu, I understand."

After returning home, Ning Chen studied some papers from the four major mathematics journals and roughly understood the style and characteristics of the papers in the four major journals.

The process of writing the thesis was more difficult than Ning Chen expected, because Ning Chen had to discard a lot of his own research content in the thesis, which made Ning Chen feel a little distressed.

However, this was also a sacrifice that Ning Chen had to make. After several days of continuous work, Ning Chen finally completed the first draft of the paper.

He handed the first draft to Qiu Chengtong for review. Qiu Chengtong was also very satisfied with Ning Chen's paper. "Yes, it's really hard to believe that this is just a paper written by an undergraduate. It is much better than the one written by the graduate students I led. In this case, Ning Chen, I suggest you submit this paper to "AMS". "

"AMS...isn't it the magazine of the American Mathematical Society?" Ning Chen said heartily.

"AMS", or "Journal Of The American Mathematical Society", is one of the four top mathematics journals in the world.

Because this is a quarterly journal, and the number of papers published each quarter is strictly limited, it is very difficult to publish a paper on it.

But since Qiu Chengtong is willing to say this, it is enough to show that Qiu Chengtong has full confidence in Ning Chen's paper.

"Ning Chen, after you revise this paper, you can submit it yourself. Before submitting it, I will send a recommendation letter to the journal, so as not to affect the review of your paper."

In the past, every paper of Ning Chen was submitted by the unit of school and college. This was also to make Ning Chen's paper more easily accepted. After all, before Ning Chen became famous, it was not acceptable to submit papers on an individual basis. It is easy to be ignored by editors, which greatly reduces the success rate of paper publication.

But the disadvantage is that Ning Chen can only be the first author and cannot appear as the corresponding author at the same time.

What Qiu Cheng said in the same words was obviously that he wanted Ning Chen to be the corresponding author and the first author at the same time, so that he could better hold the results in Ning Chen's own hands.

"Professor Qiu, I really don't know how to thank you..."

"Hey, what are you being polite about? You made these achievements yourself. At most, I just gave some guidance and suggestions. If you can continue to do serious mathematics research and contribute to the development of Huaguo's mathematics community, that's considered It is my greatest thanks.”

Ning Chen knew that what Qiu Chengtong said was from the heart, so he nodded vigorously.

In the following time, Ning Chen made some modifications to the paper based on Qiu Chengtong's opinions, and Qiu Chengtong also sent his letter of recommendation to the Journal of the American Mathematical Society as promised.

Qiu Chengtong's recommendation letter is still very valuable. After all, Qiu Chengtong has a great influence in the entire international mathematics community. The Journal of the American Mathematical Society also stated that after Ning Chen submitted the paper, he would carefully review the paper. of.

Finally, Ning Chen completed the revision of the thesis and submitted the thesis to the submission mailbox of the Journal of the American Mathematical Society.

After completing this work, Ning Chen can finally breathe a sigh of relief. The research work of the past three months has really allowed Ning Chen to break through his own limit.

At this time, Ning Chen also felt that he could end the training camp life ahead of schedule. After all, his research topic was quite special, and he didn't need to continue the defense work.

In addition, Ning Chen also wants to return to Shengzhou University as soon as possible, and upgrade the information science to Lv1 first, so as to unlock the artificial intelligence rewarded by the system before.

Ning Chen felt that if he wanted to continue research on Qiu Chengtong's conjecture, this artificial intelligence might be the key factor.

Ning Chen found Qiu Chengtong and explained his intention to end the training camp early.

"Well, it's good to go back now. Anyway, the remaining tasks are basically the conclusion and defense. You'd better not participate in this. If you have any questions later, you can still contact me by email, or directly find Teacher Feng Lan."

After thanking Qiu Chengtong again, Ning Chen returned to the dormitory, ready to buy a ticket back to Shengzhou.

Journal of the American Mathematical Society, Journal Editorial Board.

Abby Moyle is doing the preliminary review of papers, because the number of papers that can be published in each issue of the journal is very small, so Abby Moyle has a very high rejection rate of papers.
