Chapter 153: Finding Inspiration
In the days after the start of the second semester of his freshman year, Shen Qi couldn't enter the state for a long time, and Zhou Yu'an's condition was better than him.
Once a person loses his luck, bad luck will follow.
The paper given by Professor Lu did not have any inspiration and no progress.
For the paper submitted to Yanda's "Mathematical Review", the editor sent the reviewer's third version of the review opinion, that is, Shen Qi was not allowed to pass the review.
The two papers translated into English, the New Journal of Mathematics and the Journal of Algebra, both said that they would receive them first, and it is uncertain when they will be published in the English version of Series B, maybe a month, maybe a year, or maybe never.
The Journal of Algebra is a journal that is too niche, even within the mathematical community, and it is rumored that their English edition, Series B, is about to be discontinued. Even if it doesn't stop, it may change from a bimonthly magazine to a real annual magazine, with one issue a year.
Zhou Yu'an discovered a strange phenomenon.
Shen Qi has stopped pretending to be B recently, he goes to class on time, professional classes, public classes, and any class.
In class, just listen quietly, don't rush to answer and don't scare people.
In his spare time, he watched movies and played games, his papers were not written, and the information was not checked, Shen Qi was no different from ordinary college students, and Shen Xiaoqi was mediocre, probably like this.
"This ...... Shen Qi, what's wrong with you?" Zhou Yu'an asked anxiously, "You don't pretend to be a force under my nose every day, I'm very uncomfortable! Are you sick?"
"I'm fine. "Shen Qi took away three heads with a big move, and he was playing a mobile game.
"I've read all the literature lists you gave me for math majors. You, on the other hand, are idle. You asked me not to indulge in women, I deleted Tan Lulu's WeChat account. And you...... You're not obsessed with women, are you?" Zhou Yu'an suddenly realized, Shen Qi's symptoms, could it be that he was thinking of spring? Winter is coming to spring, and spring has come.
Yes, yes, Sichun is this kind of symptom, unwilling to study, unable to pretend to be B, and relying on games to pass the time. I've also thought about spring, I'm from here, I understand. Zhou Yu'an carefully observed Shen Qi's demeanor and eyes and came to this conclusion.
"Spicy chicken teammates, lost. Shen Qi threw his mobile phone on the computer table, and when he got home, he received 28 heads and died 0 times in a game, but his own crystal was pushed by the enemy. After playing the game for a few days, I fell from the king to the diamond, which is so angry.
"Pretend to be a force, Shen Qi, I'm worried if you don't pretend to be B. "A person's inherent style changes suddenly, and people who get along day and night inevitably feel abnormal, such as Zhou Yu'an.
"Don't pretend, don't pretend, peace is happiness, and plainness is true. Shen Qi changed into sportswear, running shoes, hat, sunglasses, and mask, and prepared to leave the dormitory.
"Shen Qi, why are you going?" Zhou Yu'an hurriedly changed his clothes and rummaged through the cabinets to find sneakers, he was afraid that Shen Qi would do something stupid.
"Running and exercising, don't follow me, I'm fine!" Shen Qi ran to the door of the dormitory, turned around and said, "It's useless to follow me, you can't catch up with me anyway, I'm the king of Yanda long-distance running." With that, he vanished.
"That's right, it's been a week since school started, and I finally saw him pretend to be a miniature force, and it's better to pretend to be B than to be disheartened. A super scholar, if he is not even in the mood to pretend to be B, then he is not far from being abolished. Pretending to be B is an attitude. Zhou Yu'an felt a little relieved and continued to study his "Partial Differential Equations".
Shen Qi went downstairs for a run, wearing a hat to keep his hairstyle from messy, sunglasses are actually goggles, one of the professional running suits, and wearing a mask to stop PM2.5 from inhaling into his lungs.
People can't always have smooth sailing in this life, and they will always encounter difficulties and confusion.
When the state is good, tens of thousands of words are more than 10,000 words, and a few more papers are written.
When the state is poor, you must learn to relax and adjust, stop writing when it is time to stop, and rest for a while.
Shen Qi watched movies and played games, but also to relax and adjust, he knew that he had to do this, he was in a very poor state and tired of fighting, it would not have any effect, it would only backfire.
It's boring to watch too many movies, and it's even more boring to play more games.
"Let's run, because running is an inspiration for mathematicians. "---- Kolmogorov
Kolmogorov was the most prominent mathematician of the former Soviet Union and one of the most influential mathematicians of the 20th century. He was an athletic mathematician who ran and skied at a professional level.
Whenever he was not inspired by mathematics, Kolmogorov would go out into the middle of nowhere for a run of dozens of kilometers or find a snowy mountain to ski for two months.
After running, skiing in the snow, mathematical inspiration gushes out like a spring, and all problems are solved.
Kolmogorov persisted in the habit of long-term exercise until he was in his eighties, and died without illness, leaving behind a classic textbook in the history of mathematics, "Fundamentals of Probability Theory", and 448 papers.
Shen Qi followed the example of the Soviet athletic mathematician Kolmogorov and ran for inspiration.
Yo hey hey, run and run, one run is five kilometers.
"Still uninspired!"
If five kilometers is not enough, then come another five kilometers.
Shen Qi ran 15 kilometers, lying down, a little inspired!
Rushing back to the bedroom, it was too late to turn on the computer, Shen Qi picked up the pencil and looked for the notebook.
"Where's my notebook?"
The book was gone, and Shen Qi casually pulled out a book, "Jimidovich Exercise Book", and recorded his inspiration on the blank page of the book:
∫X(t+x1,t^k+x2)t^β-α/2πiβd/dt(e^-2πit^-β)dt=
It's scrapped, the inspiration is fleeting, and the formula to the right of the equal sign can't be written.
"15 km is not enough, then another 15 km. 30 kilometers is not enough, is the marathon enough?"
Shen Qi ran out of the bedroom and disappeared from Zhou Yu'an's sight.
Within a minute, Shen Qi ran back to the dormitory in a hurry, said something strange, recorded the mathematical formula on the blank page of the "Jimidovich Exercise Book", and then ran away in a hurry.
Zhou Yu'an was dumbfounded: "This ...... Shen Qi pretended to be this force, I didn't understand it. Is this pretending to be B, or is it some other form of performance art?"
After running more than 30 kilometers and exhausting himself, Shen Qi finally wrote the formula to the right of the equal sign, and Professor Lu's project made substantial progress.
The next day, Shen Qi didn't run, he couldn't run, and his whole body was sore.
If you don't run, you don't have inspiration, and you spend a day in a mess.
On the second day, Shen Qi insisted on running, running him for dozens of kilometers, and inspiration appeared again. Professor Lu's project has made significant progress.
……
Recently, a strange person appeared on the campus of Yan University, his height is about 1.81 and 82, and he is a male by sight.
The person wears a cap, goggles, and mask, and is unable to identify facial features.
Every other day, the weirdos will run dozens of kilometers around the campus of Yan University, and there are many witnesses, all of whom are teachers and students of the university.
Allegedly, the man has attracted the attention of the Yan University track and field team, and the track and field team coach was unable to catch up with the unidentified man.
It was also reported that the school's track and field team sent a second-level long-distance runner to pursue the man.
Who was the man and what was his purpose?
Why wouldn't he show his true colors?
Is running wild a stress reliever, or is it a novel form of courtship, or is it a unique training method invented by the varsity track team?
Can the varsity track team give an official explanation?
The follow-up progress of this incident will continue to be reported by the Yanda Observation Group.
This post is from Yanda BBS and has been brushed into a hot post.
