Chapter 153: Invite me to be a judge

"I guess it's the proof process sent by the civil science department again, this is already the first email."

Seeing the prompt message of the new email, Xu Yun suddenly remembered some not-so-good memories from last month, so that he didn't have the slightest desire to check them.

As his deeds of proving Hodge's conjecture were reported, the research passion of those in the civil sciences was greatly stimulated.

They think they can prove the world's math problems.

Under the wave, number theory, which seems to be simple and has no threshold, has become a hot spot among hot spots.

He received no less than five copies of the proof of the Riemann conjecture alone.

The other side claimed to have proved the Riemann conjecture.

I remember that when he first received the first email, he was somewhat shocked.

Thinking about it, this is the legendary master in the folk.

For this reason, he did not dare to slack off in the slightest, and carefully checked the proof process with excitement and anticipation.

After all, if this is really successful, with the popularity of the Riemann conjecture in the global mathematical community, I am afraid that it will have an even greater influence than him.

Although I don't know why the other party didn't go to the journal, but sent it to the mailbox of Jingzhou University, since the other party is willing to ask him for advice, there is no reason to refuse.

But after seeing the so-called proof process, he was very dumbfounded, and his expression froze.

Because the whole process can only be described as a donkey's lips and a horse's mouth, let alone proving the world's mathematical problem Riemann's hypothesis, he can't even find a place to evaluate.

It's like an essay written by an elementary school student.

It was a waste of his time.

Then he read a few other similar emails, and the situation was basically the same.

There were even people who discussed the issue of controlled nuclear fusion with him in emails, which directly made him completely confused.

Later, due to the fact that after the end of the report, the number of overseas professors who actually consulted Hodge's conjecture gradually decreased, so he returned the right to use the mailbox to the school for the relevant personnel to deal with.

As for his e-mail address, he only told a small number of professors and scholars who came to attend the report meeting.

The thought stayed here as he suddenly realized something, and his gaze instantly returned to the email.

Wait a minute.

Now it looks like my own email address on my computer.

Thinking that the school's official email address had been returned, he no longer hesitated to click on the email to check it.

The first thing that catches his eye is the English content throughout, but he is no stranger to the sender.

"It's Professor Griffith, is there a new question you want to discuss with me?"

As a professor at the Clay Institute of Mathematics, Griffiths spends most of his day in mathematics except for lectures.

When you find a new problem or method, it's normal to send an email to communicate with him.

Besides, when the other party invited him to participate in the International Congress of Mathematicians, he mentioned that he would often write to him.

But when Xu Yun calmed down to read the content of the email, he found that the situation seemed to be quite different from his guess.

It turned out that Professor Griffith was not talking to him about mathematical problems, but invited him to be a judge for next month's International Mathematical Contest in Modeling.

According to the email, Griffiths is not only a professor and lecturer at the Clay Institute for Mathematics, but also a member of the Board of Directors of the Mathematics and Applications Association.

The Federation is the organizer of the International Mathematical Contest in Modeling next month, so he was born with this idea.

Looking at the entire mathematical community now, it undoubtedly proves that Xu Yun, who is the hottest of Hodge's conjecture.

He is the most discussed figure in the whole mathematical community.

Relying on this status is not only qualified to serve as a judge of the organizing committee, but also to enhance the influence of this competition by the way.

Xu Yun read the entire email and basically knew Griffiths's intention to invite him to be a judge.

Thinking that in the afternoon, he was still in the dormitory discussing whether to participate in the competition, but he didn't think that he would be promoted to the judge of the competition in the evening.

"There's no need to worry about it at all, it's okay for students to become teachers."

Closing the email page, Xu Yun couldn't cry or laugh in his heart, and couldn't help but whisper softly.

But there is also a problem at hand.

That's whether to say yes or not.

As an international mathematical modeling competition, more than 10,000 teams sign up every year.

For the organizing committee, the pressure is undoubtedly greater.

Fortunately, according to the selection process, the selection is carried out according to the domestic first, and the special prize competition is submitted to the international organizing committee.

And he was invited to be in charge of the grand prize selection judges, and he didn't need to see how many problem-solving processes.

The academic world is not about fighting and killing, and while concentrating on research, it is still inseparable from human feelings.

Since it has no effect on himself, it would be too shameful to refuse directly.

At next year's International Congress of Mathematicians, he is still waiting for the Cray Institute of Mathematics to award him the million dollars.

What's more, he is not like Perelman, who is willing to be a mathematical hermit who does not come into contact with the outside world.

With this in mind, he opened the Write Email page again and began to write a reply in English.

At this time, Zhou Qi, who came out of the bathroom, passed by Xu Yun and caught a glimpse of the content on the screen, and suddenly felt very puzzled and subconsciously asked.

"Xu Yun."

"Do you want your graduation thesis to be in English?"

He thought that Xu Yun was finally going to start writing his graduation thesis, and the results page was all in English.

Thinking that the graduation thesis basically only requires an English abstract, I couldn't help but ask.

Xu Yun didn't hide it when he heard it, and answered truthfully directly.

"I'm not writing a paper, I'm replying to Professor Griffiths at the Clay Institute of Mathematics, who invited me to be a judge for next month's International Mathematical Contest in Modeling."

"What did you say?"

"Judge the event?"

Zhou Qi opened his mouth to exclaim when he heard this answer, and a question mark instantly appeared in his mind.

It hasn't turned a corner yet.

He expressed regret that Xu Yun gave up next month's competition because he lost another chance to win the double in China.

But I never expected that in just a few hours, Xu Yun's identity changed from a contestant to a judge.

It's a big change.

It can only be said that in a sense, Xu Yun did participate in the International Mathematical Modeling Competition next month, but as a judge.

The conversation between the two soon attracted the attention of Qian Yudong and Zhao Yuefeng, and both of them expressed curiosity.

"What event judges?"

"Xu Yun was invited to be a judge of the International Mathematical Contest in Modeling next month." Zhou Qi turned around and explained to the two of them first, and then calmed down and looked at Xu Yun again and asked, "Then when the time comes, the papers of our group will also be reviewed and selected in your mailbox?" ”

"Theoretically, so." Xu Yun nodded.

As soon as the words fell, he added: "But the premise is that you must first stand out from the domestic competition." ”

"We'll do our best." Zhou Qi replied confidently.

After the short conversation, Xu Yun rewrote the email, treating it as a vignette.

The selection of the grand prize is responsible for the organizing committee, he is only equivalent to one of the members of the organizing committee, and cannot directly determine the ownership of the award.

However, Qian Yudong and Zhao Yuefeng were very excited, still discussing this matter.

"Others are participating in the competition, and Xu Yun directly became a judge, which is too unrealistic."

"It's still my Brother Yun's noodles."

"I don't know what the expressions of the domestic participating teams will be when the list of the organizing committee is announced?"

He always had a smile on his face when he spoke, and he was even happier than being a judge.

In the email, he first thanked Professor Griffith for the invitation, and looked forward to meeting again at the International Congress of Mathematicians next year, and finally agreed to serve as the special prize judge of the organizing committee of the competition.

After finishing this matter, Xu Yun opened the office software to make courseware.

According to the department's arrangement, he will have a two-hour open class tomorrow, and the appointment situation is very hot.

Originally, when he first received Dean Qin's notice, his first reaction was to refuse.

I thought that as an undergraduate student who had not yet officially graduated, I was not qualified to teach open classes.

As a result, Qin Xiangxin said that it was the request of the students in the department, and said that he would bring the teachers in the department to watch, but it was impossible to refuse at this point, so he had no choice but to agree and say that he would prepare for the class seriously.

Since the students who signed up for the lecture this time were mainly undergraduates, even Zhou Qi in the dormitory signed up.

So algebraic geometry is certainly not suitable for teaching.

After careful consideration, he decided to focus on abstract algebra.

Although he has learned abstract algebra very well, after all, he is giving a lecture to so many students, and he must pay great attention to it and not tolerate carelessness.

Otherwise, you'll be misguided.

He didn't want anything to go wrong in his first public class.

For this reason, he specially made this courseware today.

Nothing to say all night.

Following.

At the end of the holiday, in the morning, Xu Yun and Zhou Qi, Qian Yudong and Zhao Yuefeng went to the classroom where the open class was held.

It's just that he used to give lectures, and Zhou Qi and they listened.

Because the start time of the open class was 10 a.m., I managed to avoid waking up early.

Otherwise, Qian Yudong, who has not recovered from the holiday state, may not be able to get up to participate in this open class.

But even though Xu Yun had arrived at the classroom ahead of schedule, he was still frightened when he saw the situation in the classroom.

Standing at the door and looking inside, the huge classroom was already full, except for the two seats that were squeezed by three people, and even the corridor walls were full.

"Hold the grass, there are too many people, right?"

"Xu Yun's popularity is simply invincible, and the whole school can't find another teacher with this kind of popularity."

"Let's find an empty place to settle down first." Listening to Qian Yudong and Zhao Yuefeng's exclamations, Zhou Qi put forward a constructive suggestion.

According to the speed of continuing to come, if you don't hurry to find a place, you can only go outside to the window.

And just as Zhou Qi and the others went down and Xu Yun walked up to the podium, a deafening cheer suddenly broke out in the classroom.

Let the next class hear it, and if you don't know, I'm afraid you think it's a star who came to hold a concert.

"Xu Shen is here."

"It's hard to find an opportunity to listen to the world's math problem provers lectures."

"Wait a minute, you have to shake hands with Xu Shen, and bless me from failing at the end of the semester."

"I took a group photo directly and hung it on the wall, don't talk about hanging the department from now on, even if the bottle is hanging, it won't be hung."
