Chapter Seventy-Eight: Seventeen-Year-Old Genius
On the side, Zhou Hai saw Xu Chuan's doubts, and added with a smile: "You don't know, this senior of yours is my student, and his graduate thesis is a supplement to the asymptotic theorem for non-smooth regions, and the goal of the doctor's study is to Weyl_Berry conjecture." ”
"Now your weak conjecture proves Weyl_Berry his graduate thesis and doctoral study goals have to be re-chosen."
Hearing this, Cai Peng's eyes when he looked at Xu Chuan became even more resentful.
It's just a trick.
Hearing the explanation, the corners of Xu Chuan's mouth twitched, feeling a little embarrassed.
He didn't expect that his research paper would kill a senior's graduation thesis and doctoral study goals.
Although he is very sympathetic to this senior Cai now, the paper has already been published, and he can't help it.
Therefore, this senior Cai should re-choose the topic, I hope he will not be affected too much, and he will not be delayed.
......
"Your talent in mathematics is a little beyond my imagination, I thought it was just your hobby, but I didn't expect to actually make achievements in mathematics."
"If I'm not mistaken, it seems that you have to wait for the end of December of this year's lunar calendar, close to the end of the lunar calendar, when you are close to the new year, you will really turn eighteen, right?"
"In the past twenty or thirty years of self-teaching, I have brought dozens of students, from college students to doctoral students, but in terms of talent, you have really refreshed my perception of geniuses in this world."
On the other side, Chen Zhengping, who had not spoken, suddenly sighed.
Although he is not a man of mathematics, he knows the weight of a world-class conjecture.
Not to mention the top mathematical conjectures such as the Riemann conjecture and the Hodge conjecture, it is the weak Weyl_Berry conjecture and the twin prime conjecture that are at the end of the world's conjectures.
And it's not a lecturer or an associate professor, it's a full professor with an establishment.
Such an achievement, put on a freshman freshman, no matter how you look at it, it feels incredible.
In particular, Xu Chuan has not been studying in the field of mathematics since he was a child, and his in-depth study of mathematics seems to have started from participating in the IMO competition in the third year of high school, and before that, although his mathematics scores were good, they were still within the scope of ordinary people.
I didn't expect that after a few months of IMO competition, plus less than a semester in the first half of his freshman year, a total of only one year, he would be able to make such a breakthrough in the field of mathematics.
This even made Chen Zhengping have a trace of delusion and inner wavering, is it better to let him learn mathematics?
A year of in-depth study can prove a world-class mathematical conjecture, and this talent is even more outrageous than opening a hanging.
But then, this idea that popped up was thrown out of his mind.
Xu Chuan's talent for mathematics is strong, but his talent for physics is no worse than mathematics.
Although his achievements in physics are not as high as they are today's mathematics, they are not low at this age.
A paper calculating the typical distance between particles of Bose Einstein condensation was published in Advances in Physics, also a top journal of physics.
Although the impact factor of SCI is ranked in the Q3 region, it is important to pioneer the method.
There are many talents who can have papers in SCI, but very few can create their own methods.
It seems that there really is that kind of cross-border genius in this world who can freely learn in the field, just like Leonardo da Vinci in history.
On the other side, Zhou Hai and Cai Peng, who heard Chen Zhengping's words, were stunned.
Not yet under the age of eighteen.
With this sentence, Cai Peng, a graduate student, was about to pop out of his eyes.
Lying in a big groove, seventeen years old? Did he hear him right?
At the age of seventeen, he solved the world-class mathematical conjecture, what kind of monster is this Nima?
When he was seventeen years old, he seemed to be still in his second year of high school? It seems that he only goes back to his hometown every year to fish in the pond.
But at the age of seventeen, he had already solved the world-class conjecture.
I was hit, I was deeply hit.
......
Hearing Chen Zhengping's exclamation, Xu Chuan smiled shyly and said, "I will be eighteen in more than a month." ”
Hearing this, Cai Peng didn't want to talk anymore.
He just wanted to scold in his heart: "Minors are forbidden to enter the Internet..... Oh no, it's minors who are forbidden to pretend β! ”
Just then, the office door was pushed open.
Two old men walked in one after the other.
Xu Chuan looked over, and the old man walking behind him seemed a little familiar, but he couldn't remember who it was for a while. As for the old man in front, he was a completely unfamiliar face, but looking at the eyes of these two people, they were staring at him directly, as if they were coming for him?
Sure enough, his guess was correct, as soon as he entered the door, the old man who walked in front saw him and his eyes lit up, and he walked up quickly and took his hand and said excitedly:
"This is Xu Chuan, I am Rong Zhizhuan, the dean of our Nan University School of Mathematics, I heard that there is a young genius in our South University of Mathematics who has proved the world-class conjecture, and I really deserved my reputation when I saw it today."
"Ahem, it's just a momentary inspiration, it's nothing."
Xu Chuan coughed lightly and said modestly.
"It's not good for young people to be too modest, and besides, it's normal for a freshman year to prove that he is a world-class problem maniac."
Before Rong Zhizhuan could answer, another old man standing behind him with a somewhat thin body and face raised his eyebrows and said.
Xu Chuan glanced at this somewhat familiar old man with some surprise, and this tone made him instantly remember who it was, Academician Zhang Gongqing of the Department of Mathematics of P University, who had met him when he held an exchange meeting in Princeton in his previous life.
His main research interests are nonlinear analysis, partial differential equations, tensor eigenvalues, and graph theory, and he has won prestigious mathematics awards such as the Science and Technology Progress Award, the Ting H. Chern Mathematics Award, and the Hua Luogeng Mathematics Award.
"This is Academician Zhang Gongqing of the Academy of Science and Technology, and he has been communicating with our school for the past two days."
On the side, Rong Zhizhuan introduced with a smile, and Xu Chuan said hello respectfully.
Zhang Gongqing smiled and continued: "A few days ago, when I was communicating at Riyue University, Zhang Weiping told me that there was a very talented student in the mathematics competition last year, and said that if you study mathematics, there will be a Fields Medal in the next 20 years, but unfortunately I went to study physics in college, and I think it will be you." ”
"The young man is very good, Professor Gowers is full of praise for your thesis, are you interested in studying mathematics at P University, your talent should not be wasted in physics."
Xu Chuan smiled awkwardly, as if studying physics was not the right path.
On the other side, Chen Zhengping walked over and said unceremoniously:
"P University has so many geniuses, and he still came to NTU to rob me of students? Are you embarrassed? ”
"And what does it mean that this talent shouldn't be wasted on physics, what? Studying physics is a crooked way? ”
This is appropriate for him in the whole office, the two have a good relationship, they are both elderly players and academicians of the Academy of Scientific Research, so no one has to give face to anyone.
Zhang Gongqing didn't blush, and smiled: "What is robbing students, this kid's talent in mathematics is much stronger than physics, and it is perfect to learn mathematics." ”
