When I am reborn, I just want to be a top student

Chapter 91 Discussion at Princeton (please subscribe)
  In the Princeton conference room, there were seven or eight people sitting, each of whom was a famous figure in mathematics.

Among them, there are white faces and Chinese faces.

York was the review editor who discovered this paper. After discovering that this paper might really prove the ABC conjecture, he did not dare to delay and immediately reported it to the editorial board of the "Annals of Mathematics" and the Princeton Mathematics Department. of professors.

After learning that there was a method used in the paper and not used in Wangyue, which proved the ABC conjecture, it immediately aroused the curiosity of many professors.

The papers were flipped through the hands of the professors. Some were writing and drawing unconsciously while reading, while others were frowning and looking at the papers intently.

"Everyone has read this paper, let's talk about your thoughts."

The old white man sitting at the top asked the question first.

After hearing what the old white man said, everyone looked at me and I looked at you, but no one spoke first.

However, this silence did not last long. A slightly younger, middle-aged white man said in shock: "According to me, there is no problem with this paper, but..."

"Its first author and corresponding author are both the same person, and there are no other participants. This makes me feel incredible. If it is true, a real genius will appear in the mathematics world!"

After the middle-aged white man finished speaking, others also started speaking.

"Not only that, compared to Mochizuki's paper, I support this paper more. Its language is concise and clear. It is not like Mochizuki's paper that belongs only to him. I can say that it is the ABC conjecture that has troubled the world for many years. It has been untied."

A professor with a Chinese face stood up at this moment and said slightly excitedly.

"Zhang, according to the signature of this paper, he is your hometown, a college student, and only eighteen years old this year. Do you know what this means?"

The white professor opposite the Chinese professor retorted tit for tat.

"There are geniuses in this world, and we need to acknowledge the existence of geniuses. In the eyes of others, we are geniuses, and why can't we admit that others are also geniuses."

"Can't an eighteen-year-old college student solve a mathematical problem? Does it mean that he has to be fifty, six, seventy or eighty years old to solve it?"

"In the history of my motherland, there are many such geniuses. It is not surprising at all!"

"We are students of mathematics, so we should understand this. At the same time, there is no problem with the content of this paper. According to the rules, it should be published!"

"Unless you want to give up the reputation of "Annals of Mathematics", otherwise, this paper must be published!"

The Chinese professor is Zhang Changqing. He first studied in the domestic mathematics department, then studied abroad, obtained a doctorate from Columbia, and worked at Princeton.

Starting from assistant professor, to associate professor, and then to full professor.

A Chinese face can do this in a white crowd, and his true strength is definitely not bad.

Moreover, last year, while Zhang Changqing served as a professor at Princeton University, he was also elected as an academician of the Bald Eagle Academy of Arts and Sciences.

His main research directions are number theory and algebraic geometry.

After hearing Zhang Changqing's words, the office became quiet.

Everyone was thinking deeply about what Zhang Changqing just said.

A mathematical genius who solved the ABC conjecture is only eighteen years old.

What shocking news it would be if word got out.

Media from around the world will swarm in, wanting to have a good interview with this mathematical genius.

Especially not long ago, someone just claimed to have solved this difficult problem in mathematics.

When a scene that the public likes to see appears, it will inevitably receive a lot of attention.

The fact that "Yearbook of Mathematics" can publish such a paper is also a demonstration of its strength.

Everyone is smart and can figure out these things.

"Okay, there are no problems with this paper. Since it meets the requirements of our journal, we will publish it."

“There is a steady influx of new people in the mathematics community, which is also a good thing for us, proving that we have successors.”

"Last year, a mathematical genius appeared in that country who solved Pansita, and this year another genius appeared who proved the ABC conjecture. It seems that the golden age of our mathematical world is coming."

"At the same time, if this paper is proven to have no problems, the Mordell conjecture, the weak form of Marshall Hall conjecture, the Fermat-Catalan conjecture, and the equivalent of the modified Szpiro conjecture, these can all be solved."

"Over the years, there have been very few papers of such significance in the mathematics community. This is very important to our mathematics community and proves that we still have room for breakthroughs."

"So, now go down and study it carefully according to the description of the paper. No matter what the result is, whether the ABC conjecture is really solved, it is the glory of our journal to be published in the "Annals of Mathematics". The mathematics community needs to encourage and support this talents appear.”

As the old white man said these words, everyone in the office nodded.

The time was too short, and they only read it roughly. It would take some time to truly verify the feasibility of the paper.

At the same time, with the words of this old man, everyone also gained confidence.

For a moment, everyone looked excited, holding the paper like a treasure.

……

domestic. After the first prize was announced, while everyone was excited, Wang Donglai frowned.

"It shouldn't be!"

Wang Donglai is somewhat confident about the level of his paper.

Winning the national award is natural, and it shouldn't just be the national award. How can I also compete for the Higher Education Society Cup?

Just as he was thinking this, the phone rang suddenly. It was Yang Wanpeng, asking Wang Donglai to come to the office.

When Wang Donglai arrived, he discovered that Yang Wanpeng was not the only one in the office.

Han Hua, Zhao Chengpeng and Yang Wanpeng surrounded a middle-aged man with a leadership look on his face.

Wang Donglai recognized this person's identity at a glance.

Xu Songyao.

A big figure in Anshui County who has gone abroad, he was elected as an academician of the Academy of Sciences last year and the vice president of Tangdu Jiaotong University.

Last year, this incident went viral throughout Anshui County.

Moreover, Xu Songyao's home is only about ten kilometers away from Wang Donglai's hometown, and it is divided into two towns.

After Wang Donglai came in, Ye Fei and Liao Qingfeng hurriedly gave him a look.

However, before Wang Dong came to speak, Xu Songyao took the initiative and said: "Wang Dong is here, right? I read the article "Data Structure and Algorithm" you wrote. The name is a little inaccurate, but the content is very good."

"Looking at the content of your paper, are you interested in computer big data?"

Xu Songyao looked at Wang Donglai with interest, waiting for his answer.

"Principal, I think computers have a great future. The Internet of Everything is the future trend. It penetrates into all aspects of life. Big data algorithms are also a direction with great potential. I am quite interested."

Wang Donglai was not timid and expressed his views directly.

"But I read the content of your paper and it seems that this algorithm is more about thousands of people. If it is used in the business field, do you understand the situation that is likely to occur? Or can you foresee it?"

As soon as Xu Songyao said these words, his eyes became sharp and he stared at Wang Donglai.

Wang Donglai laughed, because in this paper, he only briefly mentioned it and didn't say much at all.

The result can be seen by Xu Songyao, and the name of academician is indeed well-deserved.

Yes.

Xu Songyao is mainly engaged in basic theoretical research on intelligent information processing, machine learning, and data modeling. He has long been engaged in teaching and research on Banach space geometry theory and mathematical foundations of intelligent information processing.

"I know, but I think technology is not divided into good and bad. People are always used. Big data algorithms with thousands of people can be more accurate, more efficient, and greatly improve productivity."

"We can't stop eating because of choking, not to mention that it is impossible to keep this technology secret. As long as the technology continues to develop, it will inevitably appear and cannot be stopped at all."

Neither humble nor arrogant, he not only answered Xu Songyao's questions, but also explained his own thoughts.

"Well, yes, young people should have this vitality."

"Both of us are fellow villagers. It's not easy for you to pass the exam from Anshui County. Next, you must guard against arrogance and impetuosity and focus on your studies. If you encounter any problems later in your studies, you can come to my office. Find me."

After Xu Songyao finished speaking, he stood up and patted Wang Donglai on the shoulder, showing a hint of cordiality.

Han Hua and Zhao Chengpeng were not surprised by this, as if they had known about it for a long time.

Only Ye Fei and Liao Qingfeng looked envious and shocked.

"Well, I will."

Even now, Wang Donglai still looks calm and indifferent, neither humble nor arrogant, and does not become excited at all because of Xu Songyao's kindness.

This kind of performance made Xu Songyao look even higher.

Nodding with satisfaction, Xu Songyao left here.

Zhao Chengpeng followed closely behind, and before leaving, he patted Wang Donglai on the shoulder with encouragement, saying nothing.

"Okay, I've called you three here to inform you that your paper has been favored by the national and district judges and invite you to go to Shandong Province for an expert interview. Two days later, you will set off by train, and the school will reimburse you for the entire journey."

Yang Wanpeng announced the news directly after Xu Songyao left.

After hearing the news, Ye Fei and Liao Qingfeng suddenly became excited and looked at Wang Donglai.

"Keep a normal mind. After you go, you can communicate more with other teams. You are all top college students and you should all have a common language. But remember to behave carefully when you go out. Don't be arrogant or cause trouble. Representatives The image of our school.”

Han Hua also warned him, but the smile on his face revealed his true mood.

　I am typing words at a fast pace, and there will be a wave of updates in the evening.
