Qian Chen is a doctoral student in the Department of Mathematics at Fudan University, and he will graduate next year.
However, he is not very worried about employment issues. After all, Fudan's mathematics is second only to Peking University in China.
In the fourth subject evaluation of the Ministry of Education, there are only three schools with A+ in mathematics, namely: Peking University, Fudan University, and Shanda University. These three schools can almost be said to be the first grade in mathematics.
There are six schools that are evaluated as A, namely: Beijing Normal University, Tsinghua University, Nankai University, Shanghai Jiaotong University, China University of Science and Technology, and Xijiao University. After years of development, Xijiao has fallen behind, and it happens to be the second grade of mathematics when it is replaced by the National University of Science and Technology.
When I saw the news this time, I realized that the problem of [x^3+y^3+z^3=33] has been proved, and what shocked him even more was not that the prover was Chinese, but that the other party was just a reading Undergraduate!
Thinking about his identity as a doctoral student, there is a feeling of living on a dog.
Depressed, depressed, but seeing the despised comments in the news comment area, Qian Chen couldn't help but get angry.
Basic subjects like mathematics are not like those engineering subjects that can be produced quickly, which require long-term persistent exploration, and even if they are explored, they cannot be converted into money immediately.
The messages of these netizens are all eager to transform into technology, into productivity, into money.
However, these are not applicable to basic subjects.
This is also one of the reasons why it is difficult for domestic basic disciplines to develop.
Thinking that the undergraduate student named Lu Zhou came from Guanghua University, Qian Chen said with emotion: "Guanghua University is a bit powerful."
Guanghua University didn't even have a mathematics department, and it was incredible that a man like Lu Zhou could be cultivated as a result.
However, after Professor Xu Chenyang of Peking University went to Guanghua University, it is said that he was preparing for the School of Mathematics. In addition, Guanghua University was waving banknotes to attract talents, so he might really be able to toss out something.
For some reason, a bold thought suddenly appeared in Qian Chen's mind.
"How about going to Guanghua University?"
The next second, Qian Chen's head shook like a rattle.
"No, no, it's too bad for me, a Fudan doctor, to go to Guanghua University. I might as well stay in this school."
With his status as a mentor and his own strength, it shouldn't be a big problem to stay in school to teach.
It's just that the idea of going to Guanghua University grows like weeds.
Fortunately, at this moment, there was a knock on the door.
The person here is his neighbor Zhang Huai. He entered the school in the same year and has different tutors, but the relationship is not bad. They often eat together and talk about papers and so on.
The postgraduate dormitory of Fudan University is not bad. There is one room for two master students and one room for doctoral students, but it is a kind of four rooms and one living room.
It is worth mentioning that only dormitory is required for master's degree. In the past two years, the leaders of the school have been so amused that they do not provide dormitory for master's degree. It's really disgusting.
"Old Qian, have you eaten yet?"
"Not yet, what's wrong?"
"It's a little annoying, why don't we go out and have a meal together?"
"Okay, just wait for me."
Afterwards, the two left the dormitory building and went to the snack street to find a barbecue restaurant they frequent.
Order something good, and the two chatted while eating.
At first, they talked about the papers they were writing, and then the topic was inexplicably related to Lu Zhou's news.
"This Lu Zhou is really powerful, and it is estimated that it can be distributed to the four majors." Zhang Huai took a sip of beer with a melancholy expression on his face.
The Four Natures refer to the four sacred journals in the mathematics world. It can be said that there is no graduate student in the mathematics department who does not want to publish sci papers in the four sacred journals.
As long as you have an essay in your hand, you will be able to enter the mathematics department in Qingbei. If you change it to a regular one or 211, it will be no problem to get an associate professor.
"The Big Four? Hold the grass, is it true?" Qian Chen was so startled that he put down the roasted ginkgo fruit in his hand, this is the Big Four!
"It shouldn't be a big problem. After all, this question is quite difficult, and Lu Zhou's proof process is very exciting." Zhang Huai said with certainty.
"That's amazing..." Qian Chen took a deep breath, feeling sour in his heart.
The two of them didn't feel good in their hearts, didn't speak, and ate the barbecue quietly.
In the silence, Zhang Huai suddenly said, "Old Qian, I plan to go to Guanghua University."
Qian Chen was stunned for a moment, but did not answer immediately.
After a long while, he slowly exhaled a turbid breath.
"I plan to go too, let's go together..."
…
at the same time.
There is a high school reunion going on in a certain restaurant in Modu not far from Fudan University.
To be precise, it was a high school classmate who was working in the magic capital, and rented a dinner party on the weekend.
Ai Xiaofan is the manager of a state-owned enterprise in Modu. Although her salary is not high, her work is easy and she rarely works overtime. Living in Modu is no problem. She is quite satisfied with the status quo.
Originally, I didn't want to attend this high school class reunion, but I had no choice. Another best friend (also a classmate) who had a good relationship kept nagging, so she came over in desperation.
There were not many people, only seven or eight people, and the men and women were about half and half.
But at this moment, she regretted coming over, because there was a fly beside her, and she kept chatting.
The "fly" beside him is Ge Chao, a high school classmate who is now an assistant professor at the Institute of Mathematical Sciences, ShanghaiTech University.
Perhaps now that he has a successful career, and seeing that Ban Hua was still single, Ge Chao has been bragging beside Ai Xiaofan.
How many sci papers have you published, how many big cows have you cooperated with, and how many academicians have you met?
However, Ai Xiaofan was disgusted, that little black fat man who had low self-esteem back then became what he is now.
Perhaps the more a person cares about something, the more he will brag about something.
"Oh, um... that's pretty amazing." Ai Xiaofan replied in a perfunctory manner while swiping Weibo.
Suddenly, her fingers stopped abruptly.
A curious light flashed in his eyes.
"Ge Chao, is [x^3+y^3+z^3=33] difficult to prove?"
Seeing that the goddess finally took the initiative to take care of him, Ge Chao was refreshed and said honestly: "This problem has plagued the mathematics community for 58 years. Although the meaning is not as famous as those Riemann conjecture and twin prime number conjecture, there are certain Meaning, if any mathematician can prove it, then the other party is quite cow!"
Ai Xiaofan asked curiously, "What's the point of proving this?"
"Meaning..." Ge Chao scratched his head, then said: "The most difficult part of solving this problem is the algorithm part. If it can be proved, it still has some meaning. For example, this idea can be applied to asymmetric encryption and decryption."
"Uh, Xiaofan, why did you ask this all of a sudden?" Ge Chao, who had reacted, asked.
Ai Xiaofan said in amazement, "I just read the news on Weibo, and this question has been proven, and I'm still an undergraduate student at Guanghua University. It's really strong."
She didn't know how difficult this question was just now, but after listening to Ge Chao's explanation, she immediately admired this classmate named Lu Zhou.
A difficult problem that stumped mathematicians from all over the world, but was solved by undergraduates. This comparison is bullshit.
"Xiao Fan, please send me the news link on WeChat."
"Row."
Clicking on the news link he just received, watching the media reports, especially after revealing the identity of the other party, jealousy made him lose his eyes.
A non-mathematical undergraduate student has accomplished what he could not accomplish.
It would be great if the person who proved this was replaced by him.
Taking this opportunity, it is not impossible to directly upgrade from assistant professor to associate professor.
He didn't know if he was demented or fainted, but Ge Chao changed his direct attitude and began to slander: "This math problem is actually not that meaningful, and the other party is an undergraduate student. I can understand the mathematics department of Fudan, but Guanghua University? That is a private university, who knows if he proved it?"
"And as far as I know, the president Chen of Guanghua University is not only a doctor of computer science, but also a doctor of mathematics. Nine times out of ten, this president Chen solved it, and then deliberately made the other party's name cause a sensation."
Hearing this, Ai Xiaofan frowned, his disgust for Ge Chao became even stronger in his heart.
Mingming said before how difficult this question is and what is the significance of it. Now, when he sees that the prover is an undergraduate student, the conversation changes directly. This contrast is too obvious.
Ai Xiaofan was too lazy to talk to the other party, but Ge Chao became more motivated and continued to slander.
However, while browsing Weibo, Ai Xiaofan saw another interesting news.
She turned her head with a smile in her eyes.
"Ge Chao, do you know the journal Mathematical Yearbook?"
Ge Chao replied without thinking: "Of course I know that the Annals of Mathematics is one of the four major journals in mathematics, and it has the longest history. There are less than 30 mathematicians in China who can publish in this journal as one work. !"
"It's so amazing, can you post it on it?" Ai Xiaofan asked again.
Ge Chao sneered and said vaguely: "I... ahem, it's definitely not possible now. After UU reading , um, there should be hope in the future."
What a joke, none of their Institute of Mathematical Sciences can publish in the four major journals, even the director is no exception.
If he can really publish, even if there is only one article, don't say assistant professor, just take the word "assistant" out!
Projects, scientific research funds, and talent hats can all be expected.
Hong Kong Zhen, he even felt that he might not be able to do it in his life...
Ai Xiaofan is not a novice, so he still doesn't understand the meaning.
She pursed her lips and smiled, flipped the screen over, and displayed the contents of the mobile phone page in front of Ge Chao.
The above is a report reprinted by a domestic media. The official Twitter account of "Annual Mathematics" released a message, which approved and reviewed the content of Lu Zhou's submission, and will be published in the next issue of "Annual Mathematics".
"However, this student Lu Zhou's paper has been approved by "Annual Mathematics", and the Fields Medal winner sent a tweet to praise each other."
Speaking of which was not enough, Ai Xiaofan blinked his eyes and added another sentence.
"And this student Lu is only 21 years old this year."
ps: The first chapter today, and more later.
Women's clothing is impossible, and it is impossible in this life! I will not lose!
