Chapter 356: Before the Defense
Chapter 356
Nventiones mathematicae is a quarterly journal.
A journal is published every quarter, and the number of papers in each journal is 20~30.
Before the publication of each journal, one of the representative high-quality papers will be selected as the main paper of the journal in this quarter.
This means that the journal has greatly affirmed the academic value of the paper!
Generally, this position is occupied by the world's top mathematics experts all year round, and mathematicians of Professor Fang's level only say that they will have a chance to occupy that position once in two or three years.
Not to mention, the authors of this paper, Professor Fang and Cheng Nuo, are two authentic Chinese.
Two Chinese nationals without any foreign status.
This is quite rare in the context of the world mathematics in today's weak China.
Now, it's May.
The next season's issue will be printed in June.
At present, the paper "Proof of the weak BSD conjecture when the analytic rank is 1" written by two Chinese mathematicians has been positioned as the main paper of the journal in the next quarter, but it has only been disseminated in a small range within the journal, and outsiders are rarely aware of it.
Even, even the names Fang Ruoyu and Cheng Nuo, before the journal was officially published, were still completely unfamiliar names for those foreign mathematicians.
Now that the publication of the paper had been finalized, Professor Peter, the review editor of the Nventiones Mathematicae magazine, replied via email.
............
Huaguo, due to the time difference, it was already more than 11 o'clock in the evening.
In the professor's apartment building of Tsinghua University, Professor Fang walked out of the study with a tired look, and just walked into the bedroom to rest, he found that the computer on the bedroom desk kept flashing the prompt light.
This is a hint for the mail message he set up earlier.
Opening the mailbox, Professor Fang found an email from abroad.
It took less than a minute for Professor Fang to finish reading the contents of the email, his expression was excited, and then he quickly calmed down.
The cover of "Nventiones Mathematicae" is the main feature, and one of the world's seven conjectures, the weak conjecture proves to be successful!
These two achievements are enough for Professor Fang to leave a strong mark on the entire history of modern mathematics in China.
However, in Professor Fang's view, this is just a small step for the Chinese mathematics community.
In the future, with the accumulation of this small step and a small step, he believes that the mathematical level of China will definitely catch up with those mathematical powers in Europe and the United States, or even surpass!
sent a message to Cheng Nuo, telling him about the paper, and with infinite expectations for Huaguo Mathematics, Professor Fang fell asleep.
............
The next day, Cheng Nuo, who got up, saw a message from Professor Fang.
"Yes!" Cheng Nuo clenched his fists and cheered!
The paper was included in the top SCI journal in District 1, and a year's hard work was rewarded, and it is naturally false to say that you are unhappy.
Compared with the O award of Meisai, this news obviously brought him more joy.
One is not challenging at all, and the other is hundreds of days of hard work. Moreover, the difficulty of the two is not on the same level.
Being able to publish a paper in Nventiones Mathematicae and tell the truth is something that even most professors can't do.
For low-level and difficult testing grounds such as the National Competition, the Olympiad, and the American Competition, Cheng Nuo didn't want to come again.
Fortunately, he is about to graduate from his undergraduate program this year, jumping out of the novice village of undergraduates, and gradually moving towards the highest meaning of academics.
Containing infinite expectations for the future, Cheng Nuo started a new life for the day.
............
The days of swimming in the ocean of knowledge are happy and blissful.
And in the midst of this joy and happiness, a month has passed in a hurry.
The weather is getting hotter and hotter day by day, and the time for the annual graduation season is getting closer.
At this time of year, there are senior graduates in bachelor's uniforms, wandering around every corner of the school, preserving the memories of the best four years of youth with precious photos.
Everyone has a more or less vague or clear plan for their future.
Some people choose to go to graduate school to continue their studies, some people choose to enter the society and work hard, and some people choose to stay at home and be a quiet fat house.
On the periphery of the artificial lake on campus, small tents began to be erected. It was an annual flea market, and the stall owners were all graduates of this year, and they were buying small items that were not too expensive.
Among them, the USB flash drive sold by the senior is the most sought-after.
Every day, there are a large number of people on or off campus, wandering here, trying to pick up a USB flash drive full of youth hormones.
During graduation season, the campus radio resounded like a softly whispered ballad.
Many couples break up because of graduation, and their eyes are full of tears in the hotel to have a graduation shot.
There are also many single dogs who have the courage to confess and successfully applaud their love on the occasion of graduation!
On that day, I don't know who ordered a song "Decent" on the campus radio.
Countless men and women wailed and cried at the moment when the song sounded, and that day, the rain was as heavy as February Red came to ask for medicine!
As a sophomore undergraduate who is about to graduate, Cheng Nuo came to the school library with a stack of books and a schoolbag on his back.
Tomorrow, he will be defending his graduation.
The members of the defense team have confirmed that in addition to Professor Fang, the deputy director of the Department of Mathematics, and the rest of the professors, there will also be a deputy dean of the School of Mathematics to serve as the leader of the defense team.
Cheng Nuo, the vice dean of the School of Mathematics, has met Dean Wei Wulin, who is in charge of teaching and management.
Professor He Fang is a contemporary of the times, one of the winners of the Chern Prize in Mathematics, and a great leader in the field of mathematics in China. His own mathematical talent is much higher than that of Professor Fang.
However, after the later teaching and management were supervised, the time devoted to scientific research was greatly reduced. Just the daily chores of the academy are enough for Dean Wei to keep his feet on the ground.
Therefore, in terms of academic achievements alone, it is inferior to Professor Fang, but the academic skin of mathematics is not what it appears on the surface.
And one of the important reasons why Dean Wei is willing to attend tomorrow's defense team leader is for Cheng Nuo, otherwise, Professor Fang would be responsible for these things alone.
He wanted to see if this guy who was considered by Professor Fang to be the most promising to touch the top of the mathematical world in this generation, and who could almost single-handedly win the Meisai O Award, could give him an unexpected surprise in his graduation defense.
Sitting in the library, Cheng Nuo once again prepared the things he needed to prepare for tomorrow's graduation defense from beginning to end.
However, there is one part of the graduation defense that is difficult to prepare fully, that is, the question session of the teacher of the defense team.
According to the character of the defense team of Tsinghua University of Science and Technology in the past, it is difficult to expect them to ask any questions that are easy to answer.
Everything has to be adapted!!

PS: It's Tanabata!
As a single dog, I didn't dare to go out for a day when I was shivering!
