From university academician to chief academician

Ye Fei returned to the office, and Tan Lingling said with a smile: "How do you feel on the first day of class? Are some students distracted in class, such as playing with mobile phones and reading novels?"

Without waiting for Ye Fei to speak, Tan Lingling said again: "Students like this are not easy to manage, and it is useless to manage them."

“When I saw students like this at the beginning, I tried to take care of them, but later I found that it was useless, so I stopped taking care of them.”

Many people will find a strange phenomenon. In elementary school, junior high school, and high school, teachers will take care of students who are absent from class.

But there are very few teachers in universities who can take care of it.

In fact, this is because in elementary school, junior high school and high school, students' performance is related to the teacher's salary.

Not so in college.

There is no such thing as admission rate in universities. The quality of students' grades has little to do with their teachers.

Ye Fei smiled and said: "Not bad, not bad!"

After speaking, he turned on the computer and recorded the inspiration in his mind.

A good memory is worse than a bad pen.

Tan Lingling saw Ye Fei busy and swallowed what he had to say.

Time flies by, and half a month passes in the blink of an eye.

After Ye Fei checked the paper several times, he posted it on Arxiv.

In just half a day, this paper became popular, and the discussion on the set theory section on Stack Exchange was very hot.

The continuum hypothesis was Hilbert's first problem.

Let’s not talk about how it works, but its reputation is very big.

Since Hilbert proposed it at the Congress of Mathematicians in 1900, it has not been solved for 124 years.

Today Ye Fei proved the continuum hypothesis.

Of course, whether it is correct or not remains to be verified.

But many people think Ye Fei is the most likely to prove the continuum hypothesis.

After all, in the past two years, almost all the difficult problems in set theory have been proved by Ye Fei.

If we say who in the world is most likely to prove the continuum hypothesis, Ye Fei is the most likely.

At this time, many well-known academic publishers around the world invited Ye Fei to publish manuscripts.

Ye Fei did not send the paper to a publishing house immediately. He wanted to do something different.

After thinking for a while, he left the office.

Not long after Ye Feigang left the office, Zhong Wei, who was browsing Stack Exchange, suddenly exclaimed.

"I'll go, Ye Fei is too awesome."

"What's wrong?" The other two looked at Zhong Wei in confusion.

Zhong Wei said excitedly: "Look at the set theory section of Stack Exchange. Ye Fei has proved the continuum hypothesis."

"What?" Tan Lingling exclaimed, and then quickly opened Stack Exchange.

Han Dong said nothing and opened Stack Exchange.

After a moment, the three of them looked at each other in shock, and then fell silent.

Ye Fei usually sat next to them, but he unexpectedly proved the continuum hypothesis silently.

More than half a month ago, they joked that Ye Fei might be able to prove the continuum hypothesis in a year or two.

But no one expected that he would prove the continuum hypothesis so quickly.

Tan Lingling looked around and smiled in her heart: "Fortunately, I'm not the only one who thinks they are trash, they must also think they are trash."

Thinking of this, Tan Lingling felt a little comfort in her heart.

Tan Lingling sighed: "It's true that Ye Fei proved such a big thing as the continuum hypothesis without even saying a word."

The other two nodded, but they didn't say anything about such a big thing.

Zhong Wei said: "Maybe Ye Fei doesn't think it's necessary. After all, he has proved many difficult problems in the past."

The other two people looked at him silently. If you don't speak, no one will treat you as a mute.

Don’t we know that Ye Fei has proved many problems in the past?

Lu Yishan's office!

Lu Yishan looked at the computer screen in shock.

After a while he said: "Did he prove the continuum hypothesis?"

He looked at the set theory problem that he had studied for one third of the time.

He said helplessly: "It's okay not to study it."

The most difficult thing about set theory is the continuum hypothesis. The ultimate goal of everyone studying set theory is to prove the continuum hypothesis.

If Ye Feizhen proves the continuum hypothesis, then almost all the difficult problems in set theory have been proved by Ye Feizhen, which means that set theory has no meaning in research.

Lu Yishan didn't know whether Ye Fei would succeed, but his sixth sense told him that Ye Fei would succeed.

"Hey..." Lu Yishan sighed: "Life is no longer fun!"

Office of the Dean of the School of Mathematics!

"Have you proved the continuum hypothesis?" Dean Xiao looked at Ye Fei in astonishment.

"Yes!" Ye Fei nodded.

"Is it correct?" Dean Xiao asked, "No, you don't know yet whether it is correct. How confident are you that it will be successful?"

Ye Fei smiled and said: "Dean, I am 100% sure."

Whether it proved successful or not, Ye Fei might be a little lucky in his heart, but he knew that it was successful this time.

Dean Xiao asked: "Then you came to see me?"

"I want to hold an academic report at the school." Ye Fei said with a smile: "This can also be regarded as a thank you to the school for its support to me."

There are two types of academic seminars. One is the academic seminar held by other organizations, where many people gather together to give academic reports.

For example, Ye Fei attended the academic seminar in Magic City in the past.

The other is to hold it yourself, such as this time, in school.

These two report meetings have different requirements.

The first is to prove a problem that is not very well-known.

The second is to prove a well-known problem.

"Really?" Dean Xiao said excitedly.

If schools are allowed to hold academic seminars, the popularity of the continuum hypothesis will attract many well-known mathematicians at home and abroad.

This is conducive to the development of Zhonghu University and the School of Mathematics of Zhonghu University.

If schools and colleges develop well, it will be helpful to the principals and deans of the schools.

"Of course!" Ye Fei nodded.

"Okay!" Dean Xiao said excitedly: "You don't have to do anything, just prepare the explanation for the academic report, and leave the rest to the college."

"Okay!" Ye Fei nodded.

In the afternoon of the same day, the School of Mathematics of Zhonghu University sent invitations to many well-known mathematicians around the world to attend Ye Fei's academic lecture on the continuum hypothesis at Zhonghu University.

When the news spread, the whole school was in an uproar.

Many people still don’t know that Ye Fei proved the continuum hypothesis.

Moreover, this is the first time that Zhonghu University holds an academic seminar, which is of great significance.

From the principal to the students, everyone is looking forward to this academic report.

In the next few days, many people throughout the university were discussing this matter.

When other universities heard about this incident, they were full of envy.

Why is there no one like Ye Fei in their school?
