Junxin shook his head and stopped talking about this issue. It is impossible to say that he has no expectations and desires for the Fields Medal, but he did not study and study mathematics for the Fields Medal, and he remembers this clearly. So it's gratifying to get the Fields Medal, but it's not a big deal for him if he doesn't, don't forget, he's only eighteen years old, and according to the rules for awarding the Fields Medal, he has at least twenty-two years to go, and he has a total of five chances to win the award, and time will have no effect on him sooner or later.

"Don't talk about that, Professor, there's something I'd like you to help me with!" Junxin said that this was the real reason why he asked Professor Thurston for the award.

"Oh? You said. Professor Thurston raised his eyebrows, this was the first time Junxin had asked for help, which made him a little strange.

"That's right, when I was a freshman at Mizuki University last year, the mathematics department of our school had just been rebuilt, so although the textbooks were complete, there were very few extracurricular reading materials."

"At that time, I borrowed the library of my teacher, Professor Hu, and wrote a reference book on mathematics based on my own understanding and views on mathematics, the first two volumes have been written, the third volume has been written for more than half of it, and there is still one section left to write.

Professor Thurston did not answer, but asked, "Can you tell me about the contents of the book?" ”

Jun Xin nodded and said, "Naturally, the book is divided into three volumes, the first volume is mainly about the concepts, mathematical structure, mathematical terminology and classification of mathematics; The second volume is the main content, mainly about the development of various branches of mathematics in the past 80 years, the explanation of important issues, as well as the changes in mathematical thought. The third volume is more complex, including some views and research explorations on the development of mathematics in the next 20 years, some unsolved major conjectures and problems in the mathematical field, interdisciplinary connections and method explanations of some important mathematical problems, the deeds and contributions of some famous mathematicians in ancient and modern China and abroad, some schools in mathematics, the relationship and application of mathematics and other disciplines, and the suggestions of mathematicians. ”

"I have finished the previous content, and I have written to invite the suggestions of some mathematicians in China, but I want to make this book bilingual, so I want to find some suggestions from foreign mathematicians, so I thought of teaching you!"

To be honest, Junxin has been busy since he came to Princeton, and he has almost no time for other things, so he almost forgot about it. If it weren't for Principal Zhu reminding him this time, maybe Junxin would have to wait until he returned to China to remember this matter again.

However, after Principal Zhu reminded him, Junxin also used the time a few days before proving the four-dimensional Pang Jialai conjecture to complete the last part of the book, but this time it was all in English, so he didn't need to spend too much energy, recalled the previous content, and wrote it directly after a little revision, which was much faster than the previous two volumes.

"Oh? Can you show me? Professor Thurston asked.

"There's no problem with this, but there's only one copy, a total of three volumes, I'll bring it to you later!" Junxin nodded and said.

"Okay, that's it!" Professor Thurston nodded, he was very interested in the book that Jun Xin was talking about, "What's the name of your book?" ”

"It's called "Mizuki University Mathematics Guide", and I'll bring you the book tomorrow, and by the way, I'll call Professor Wiles and Professor Griffith, oh, by the way, I remember that tomorrow is the day of the professor's afternoon tea, and it looks like I'll have a chance to drink tea again."

"Haha, you!" Professor Thurston smiled.

"Mizuki University Mathematics Guide", fortunately, Junxin at that time in order to promote bilingualism, so prepared the Chinese and English versions, and now there are the first and second volumes of the English version, but considering that there will be many professors tomorrow, so after returning to the dormitory, Junxin still took the manuscript to the school's copy room, and spent a total of about 20 US dollars to make two copies, and it was estimated that it was about to exceed his living expenses, so he stopped.

The next morning, Junxin took the time to go to the basketball training hall to check the training situation. During Junxin's work, Princeton and the Ivy League weak team Yale University Bulldogs played a game, the process of the game is naturally not worthy of Junxin's attention, there is no doubt that even Pennsylvania, the overlord of the Ivy League, has not won Princeton, naturally, this game Princeton won with a score of 98-60 without suspense. Due to the weakness of the Yale University Bulldogs, Coach Peak did not bother Junxin, who was doing his best to solve the Pang Jialai conjecture.

After spending the morning with Coach Peake to solve the problems in the team's training and determine the plan for the next game against Syracuse University, Junxin looked at the players' training reports for a while before leaving the basketball training hall satisfied. In the days when he was not on the basketball team, the players obviously did not give up training, so they maintained a fairly good condition, so Junxin left the basketball hall with confidence.

Hastily ate a light meal in the public cafeteria, in fact, there have been many seniors who have invited Junxin to join the community canteen to eat, but Junxin has never agreed, in fact, he is not so picky about food, and naturally there are not so many requirements, and the public canteen and community canteen really have no impact on him.

After eating, Junxin leisurely wandered around the campus, but he didn't know that because of him, the office of the "Annals of Mathematics" was already in a lot of trouble.

The reason also starts from Professor Thurston taking the Junxin paper to the current editor-in-chief of the "Annals of Mathematics" Professor Gerd Faltings, originally the December issue of the last monthly has been prepared, although at the request of Professor Mirno, a paper was left, but who knows that Professor Thurston took actually three papers, which made Faltings insist, and I don't know how to deal with this matter.

Fortunately, Professor Faltings had many helpers, so he didn't have to worry about finding helpers, and with the phone calls one by one, the members of the editorial department and the professors of the Institute for Advanced Study and the university who did not have courses were summoned, and after a fierce quarrel, they finally decided on a plan, which was originally to be published in the Annals of Mathematics to the next issue, and the three articles of Junxin were published at the same time.
