Chapter 163: He's Just an Elementary School Teacher
"Pang Xuelin?"
Qu Feng looked at Wu Kangyu and Zhu Hanliang suspiciously, and said, "What kind of dumb riddle are you two playing?" ”
Wu Kangyu hurriedly handed the two papers in his hand to Qu Feng and said, "Look at the author's name!" ”
Qu Feng took the paper and looked at it: "Pang Xuelin...... Xuelin Pang ...... Pang Xuelin?! ”
"it!"
The expression on Qu Feng's face also became similar to Wu Kangyu and Zhu Hanliang.
Qu Feng turned his head to look at Wu Kangyu, then at Zhu Hanliang, and asked, "Do you know this person?" ”
Wu Kangyu said: "This is a researcher from the Institute of Mathematics of Lincheng University, and he just submitted two papers to us......
"Researcher at the Institute of Mathematics of Lincheng University?!"
Qu Feng was slightly stunned, even if the Department of Mathematics of Lincheng University is not ranked in China, how can there be a top mathematician who has the ability to solve Fermat's conjecture?
Wu Kangyu said: "The level of this researcher Pang Xuelin is still okay, I think it doesn't matter whether the other party is the Xuelin Pang that the Americans say, let's check it first!" ”
Qu Feng thought for a while, nodded and said, "That's right, give me the paper, I'll go to the editor-in-chief!" ”
"Wait, let's go together!"
Wu Kangyu and Zhu Hanliang also didn't want to miss such a moment, in case the Xuelin Pang that the Americans said was really the Pang Xuelin researcher from the Institute of Mathematics of Lincheng University, it would be awesome.
Soon, the three of them came to the office of Yang Shuo, editor-in-chief of Acta Mathematica Sinica.
Yang Shuo was talking to someone on the phone, as if he was entrusting someone else to help find out who this Pang Xuelin was.
Seeing the three of them coming in, Yang Shuo said a little strangely: "You three, don't go to work well, do you have anything to do with coming to me?" ”
Qu Feng raised the papers in his hand and said with a smile: "Editor-in-chief, look at the names of the authors of these two papers. ”
Yang Shuo was slightly stunned, took the paper and looked at it: "Pang Xuelin, researcher of the Institute of Mathematics of Lincheng University...... Xuelin Pang! ”
Yang Shuo reacted instantly, looked up at the three of them, and his voice suddenly rose several tens of decibels.
Qu Feng said with a smile: "Editor-in-chief, this is the paper submission that Lao Wu just received, do you say that this Xuelin Pang is this person?" ”
Yang Shuo thought for a while and said, "I'll call Luo Jianzhong, the head of the Department of Mathematics at Lincheng University, now. ”
As he spoke, he found an address book from the drawer, found Luo Jianzhong's phone number from it, and dialed it.
……
Lincheng University, Luo Jianzhong Office.
Luo Jianzhong was chatting with Wang Chongqing about Pang Xuelin.
"Lao Wang, when will Teacher Pang come to school? Those teachers in the department have talked to me several times, and they want to listen to Mr. Pang again. ”
Wang Chongqing smiled bitterly: "It is estimated that it will be March at the earliest, my Xiaohui only came back from Anhe two days ago, I heard that some time ago, Mr. Pang was stabbed in his left hand in order to catch human traffickers, and now the wound has not completely healed!" ”
Luo Jianzhong was slightly stunned and asked, "Teacher Pang didn't suffer any other injuries, right?" ”
Wang Chongqing said: "It's no big deal, I heard that their Lingziding Village Primary School is going to be demolished and a new Hope Primary School will be built, Teacher Pang estimates that some of them will be busy during this time." But I also heard from Xiaohui that he would come to the provincial capital in mid-March at the latest. ”
Luo Jianzhong nodded, and was about to speak, when the phone on the table rang suddenly.
Luo Jianzhong was slightly stunned, picked up the phone and said, "Which one?" ”
Soon, Luo Jianzhong's face became serious, and he said, "Editor-in-Chief Yang, it's me and it's me." You say Pang Xuelin? Yes, there is such a person in our Institute of Mathematics, what happened to him? ”
Wang Chongqing couldn't hear the voice on the phone, but from the expression on Luo Jianzhong's face, he could see that something was wrong.
Luo Jianzhong's originally serious expression became a little excited, his face was flushed, and the hand holding the phone couldn't even stop trembling.
"Director Yang, I don't know whether Researcher Pang has contributed to the Annals of Mathematics I don't know yet, I want to confirm this matter with him, but Researcher Pang is only a part-time researcher of the Institute of Mathematics of our school, only 20 years old this year, graduated from high school, his actual identity is a primary school teacher in Lingziding Village Primary School, Dayu Township, Anhe County, G Province, and he is not in Lincheng now, and it is difficult to contact him in a short time. His level of math is really very high, and he has come to our school to teach students and teachers before......"
Luo Jianzhong said a lot, and told Yang Shuo how Pang Xuelin became a researcher at the Institute of Mathematics of Lincheng University, and then hung up the phone.
"Director Luo, what's wrong?"
Luo Jianzhong took a deep breath, the excitement in his eyes couldn't be hidden, and he got up and said, "Professor Wang, Teacher Pang...... It is possible that Mr. Pang has solved the Fermat conjecture! ”
"What?"
Wang Chongqing's eyes widened, as if he thought he had auditory hallucinations.
Luo Jianzhong said: "Just now, Yang Shuo, the editor-in-chief of Acta Mathematica Sinica, called me to ask about Mr. Pang. Just yesterday, the New York Times reported a front-page article saying that the Chinese mathematician Xuelin Pang had solved the Fermat conjecture, and the results had been confirmed by Professor Pierre Deligne, chair of the Department of Mathematics at Princeton University and editor-in-chief of the Annals of Mathematics, and the paper would be published in the latest issue of the Annals of Mathematics next month......
An incredible look flashed in Wang Chongqing's eyes, and just as he wanted to continue asking, the phone rang again.
This time, it was the editor-in-chief of Computational Mathematics who called, and asked a similar question.
……
Capital.
Yang Shuo hung up the call with Luo Jianzhong, and subconsciously tapped a finger on the desk board.
The call with Luo Jianzhong made Yang Shuo even more surprised.
A twenty-year-old high school graduate, an elementary school teacher, who has a level of math comparable to that of a university professor?
And he faintly felt from Luo Jianzhong's call that the other party's academic level was even higher than Luo Jianzhong's own.
That's interesting.
Even if Pang Xuelin is not the proof of Fermat's conjecture, this young scholar deserves the attention of the Chinese mathematical community.
At this moment, the phone rang again.
Yang Shuo picked up the phone: "Hey...... Oh, hello Director Li, what...... Your correspondent in the United States has obtained the address of Scholass Pang from Princeton University? Lingziding Village Primary School, Dayu Township, Anhe County, G Province? Okay, Director Li, I know, you wait, I'll call you later! ”
Hanging up the phone, Yang Shuo raised his head, and a look of shock flashed in his eyes.
Qu Feng, Wu Kangyu and Zhu Han on the side looked at Yang Shuo with bright eyes and said, "Director, is this Xuelin Pang really Pang Xuelin of Lincheng University?" ”
Yang Shuo nodded and said, "It's not wrong, the person who solved Fermat's conjecture is him!" However, Pang Xuelin is only a part-time researcher at the Institute of Mathematics of Lincheng University, and his actual identity is a primary school teacher in Lingziding Village, Dayu Township, Anhe County, G Province, who is only 20 years old this year and graduated from high school! ”
The voice fell, and in the office, the needle fell quietly in an instant.
