Chapter 217: The Lively Mathematics Circle, the Boiling Media
"Do you want to know the proof of the hail conjecture? The first paper published in the latest issue of Acta Mathematica Sinica is, go and see it! What a wonderful proof!"
This is a blog post from Tao Zhexuan's latest update.
Tao Zhexuan is a mathematician who "keeps pace with the times", and he is not as resistant to some new things as most mathematicians.
For example, many mathematicians of the older generation do not know how to use blogs or instant messaging apps.
Tao Zhexuan, on the other hand, likes to share his research results on his blog and comment on current affairs.
Therefore, after he completed the invitation to review the journal of Acta Mathematica Sinica, he excitedly shared this matter on his blog.
Although a group of netizens expressed great curiosity about this and wanted to know about the specific things.
But Tao Zhexuan was still patient, and it was not until the latest issue of Acta Mathematica Sinica that he updated his blog.
Because of this latest blog, it has attracted the attention of people all over the world for a while.
And Tao Zhexuan's blog has also been asked by countless netizens.
They had a hard time believing how the hail conjecture had been quietly proven.
For this reason, the sales of the latest issue of Acta Mathematica Sinica have increased a lot.
People want to know first-hand.
"Oh my God, this lineup of reviewers is too luxurious, isn't it?!"
"Unbeatable Fields Medal Combined Lineup !!"
"No, no, no, that's not the main thing, why did Professor Faltins show up? Why did this cold professor give such a high rating?"
"I don't know, I just know, Professor Faltins, is extremely cold! rarely praises! Extremely difficult to deal with!"
"Probably only because he proved the hail conjecture!"
"Oh my God, this is a Chinese mathematician? Does anyone know about this man?"
Not only under Tao Zhexuan's blog, but also in several well-known mathematical forums abroad, there are also countless posts discussing the proof of the hail conjecture.
In forums such as MathOverflow and Mathematics, many people have begun to analyze Chen Zhou's proof method in the hail conjecture.
But these posts don't have the highest click-through rates.
After all, most of the people who pay more attention to these posts are people who are engaged in mathematical research themselves.
The most popular is the discussion post about Chen Zhou's identity.
Yenching University is an undergraduate student, has just completed military training and is promoted to a sophomore, a rising star of mathematicians, and so on.
These are the hashtags for popular posts.
These are also the things that the general public is most interested in.
A sophomore at Huaguo University proved the hail conjecture that countless mathematicians racked their brains and even said could not be proved by current technology.
Whether it's identity or age, this is exciting news.
This satisfies their curiosity.
The mathematical community, which has not received so much attention for a long time, suddenly became lively because Chen Zhou proved the hail conjecture.
Immediately afterwards, there is the domestic country of China.
The editorial office of Yenching Daily.
"Xiao Yao, how is the press release written?" The editor-in-chief of Yenching Daily was standing behind Reporter Yao at the moment.
"I'm still sorting it out, I can't read this math paper at all...... Yao Tongtong scratched his head helplessly.
The last time she interviewed Chen Zhou, she was very helpless about Chen Zhou's professional mathematical knowledge, and the interview record was also stumbling.
This time, she wrote a press release for a professional math paper, and she was completely blinded.
In this paper, the symbols are separated, but they all know each other.
But together, they don't know each other.
The editor-in-chief smiled and encouraged: "I believe in your ability, the last interview with Chen Zhou was very well written. This time, you're sure to get the job done well. ”
This encouragement can only be heard, after all, it is of little practical use.
Yao Tongtong smiled reluctantly and said, "Don't worry, editor-in-chief, even if I work overtime all night, I won't delay this manuscript!"
The editor-in-chief patted Yao Tongtong on the shoulder: "Do a good job!"
The same thing as the editorial department of Yenching Daily is played out in almost every newspaper office, large and small.
And the editors who are responsible for writing the press release are really scratching their ears and cheeks one by one.
They can't just take a math professor and ask for advice, right?
It's not that they didn't do this, but which of the math professors still has time to help them?
These professors have just recovered a little from the news that shocked the School of Mathematics of Yenching University, the entire Yenching University, and then the entire Chinese mathematical community.
One by one, with great curiosity, they were looking at Chen Zhou's papers.
As the news spread, it was no longer just the newspaper editors who were scratching their ears and cheeks.
Editors of various self-media have also begun to experience the same process.
It's just that the self-media pay more attention to the certifier, that is, Chen Zhou.
A conjecture that has plagued the mathematical community for 78 years was solved by a Chinese.
The most important thing is that this person turned out to be an undergraduate student who has just entered his sophomore year!
What's more, this person actually repeats before going to college!
There are so many stories in this, and they are too exciting!
With the excitement of the mathematical community and the boiling of the media, the news is spreading at a faster pace.
The development of this matter is evolving into a carnival for the whole people of China!
But at this moment, the center of people's attention is leaving the dormitory and walking towards the administrative building of Yan University.
Along the way, Chen Zhou found that everyone was looking at him.
It's everyone!
Whether it is tall, short, fat and thin, or a little brother and sister, an uncle and uncle, or a classmate who doesn't know his gender, when he finds him, his eyes are simply hot and unbearable.
Chen Zhou subconsciously quickened his pace.
Downstairs in the administration, just like the last time Chen Zhou came here to find Dean Yang, there were a lot of students downstairs.
Chen Zhou originally planned to go around directly this time and go directly to the government building.
As a result, I don't know who suddenly shouted: "Peerless God!"
In an instant, the group of scholars gathered in front of the bulletin board turned to look at Chen Zhou.
Chen Zhou was taken aback by this formation, just as he guessed what the gang was going to do.
The crowd automatically split a way.
"Big guy, please!"
One of the classmates closest to Chen Zhou suddenly made a gesture of please.
Immediately after, a piece of "Big guy, please!"
It's embarrassing......
Chen Zhou took a step forward and nodded slightly at the students on both sides.
"How do you feel like a leader inspecting?"
Chen Zhou thought strangely in his heart.
But fortunately, he finally made his way through the crowd and into the administration building.
Just as he was breathing a sigh of relief, a young assistant teacher from the Institute of Physics walked up.
When the teaching assistant saw Chen Zhou, he was slightly stunned at first, and then immediately greeted with a smile: "Are you here?"
"Dean Yang is in the office, do you know where his office is, do you need me to take you there?"
"Do you really know? Why don't I take you there?"
Chen Zhou finally got rid of the enthusiasm of this teaching assistant and came to Dean Yang's office.
Wiping the sweat from his forehead, Chen Zhou reached out and knocked on the door.
