No, wait a minute!

What do I see?!

Uncle Librarian subconsciously took off his glasses, wiped them, and put them back on.

"Teacher, is there anything wrong with this paper?"

"Don't make a noise yet!" The uncle didn't raise his head, his eyes were staring at Xiao Ran's paper tightly, and his brows were furrowed.

"Give me the pen!" The uncle pursed his lips, no longer looking happy before, and his expression was very serious.

Seeing that the uncle was so solemn, Xiao Ran scratched his head, and he didn't dare to rub it, so he hurriedly took out a pen and handed it to the uncle.

The uncle took the pen, took out the scratch paper from the drawer, and immediately began to write a series of mathematical formulas on the scratch paper, looking up at the paper in his hand from time to time, and then immediately lowered his head to write and draw on the draft, his expression became more serious.

Xiao Ran didn't dare to disturb the argumentation process of the uncle's verification of the paper, so he could only try to control the rhythm of his breathing to avoid disturbing the uncle's thoughts.

For a moment, neither of them spoke, and only the sound of the tip of the pen in the uncle's hand rubbing against the draft was left in the quiet library.

After a while, the uncle put down the pen in his hand and breathed a long sigh of relief.

Raising his head, his gaze strangely swept around Xiao Ran's face, not knowing what was going on in his heart.

Xiao Ran was a little embarrassed by the uncle, and quickly coughed, and asked tentatively, "Teacher, is there anything wrong with this paper?" ”

Hearing this, the uncle's expression became even more strange, and he said leisurely after a long time: "The logic of the paper is rigorous, the thinking is also very clear, except for the choice of words and sentences and the layout and format of some papers, there is no big problem." ”

Hearing the uncle say this, Xiao Ran finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Boy, did you really write this paper yourself?" The uncle pretended to calmly take a sip of tea from the thermos cup in his hand, which could be seen from his slightly trembling hand when drinking tea.

The old man's heart was not as calm as he appeared.

Xiao Ran smiled modestly and said, "This is all thanks to the teacher's careful teaching in the past two weeks, Xiao Ran is grateful. ”

"You kid!" The uncle couldn't help but laugh and scolded: "I'm just a retired old man, what does it have to do with me." ”

"You'd better keep it for your mentor."

That being said, judging from the smile on the uncle's face that could not be hidden, these words still made him very useful, and he was happy and could not hide the excitement and shock in his heart!

It is terrible to be able to prove the Sterling formula in a random matrix at such a young age!

I really didn't expect to receive such a good seedling after he retired when he was old.

"By the way, Xiao Ran, which school do you plan to apply for after graduating from senior year? Do you have a favorite mentor or professor? The uncle pretended to ask casually.

"If you're not sure, I can help you with it." As he spoke, he paused and said to himself: "If such a good seedling falls into the hands of those mediocre and indiscriminate mentors, wouldn't it be ruined!" ”

In and out of the words, they all have a heart of love.

To be honest, if he hadn't retired, he would have been a little tempted to accept Xiao Ran.

Such a good seedling who learns mathematics, and is so talented in random matrices, can perfectly inherit his mantle.

It's a pity that this thought can only be thought about in my heart.

He has been retired for many years and has long since withdrawn from the front line of mathematical research, although he is still paying attention to the most cutting-edge information and papers in mathematics over the years, but it is indeed a little out of step with the times.

"Maybe I can recommend Xiao Ran to my old friends, huh...... Academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, can barely be a mentor for my students. ”

Uncle began to put it up.

He had even begun to fantasize about what his old friends would look like when they knew that he had taken such a good seedling.

It must be exciting.

What, academicians of the Chinese Academy of Sciences only take doctoral students?

If you understand the senior year, you can use random matrices to prove the gold content of Sterling's formula!

"Ahem!" Xiao Ran coughed a few times, and his expression suddenly became strange.

"What's wrong?" The uncle was a little confused by Xiao Ran's expression, "Do you want to study abroad?" Well..... That's a good way to go, MIT or Princeton? If you go to Princeton, Professor Eleonora Walls is a good friend of mine, and I can recommend him to you as his student. ”

"It's not." Xiao Ran was even more embarrassed, "Teacher, don't hide it, I'm still in high school......"

"Oh, high school, I thought it was...... Well??!!! The uncle subconsciously agreed, but suddenly felt that something was wrong.

Suddenly looking up, his voice distorted, "You said you were still in high school??!! ”

Looking at the uncle's dumbfounded expression, Xiao Ran nodded silently.

Uncle:......

What the hell did I take in a monster student!

The old man was completely stupid, and he couldn't come back to his senses after looking at Xiao Ran for a long time.

Xiao Ran was also a little embarrassed, scratched his head and said, "I'm sorry, teacher, I have been hiding from you for so long and misunderstood." ”

This can't be blamed on him, who made the uncle see him learning random matrices and preconceived that he was a senior student.

And in the past two weeks, he was also busy letting the old man explode his experience, and he really didn't think to explain it to the uncle for a while, so it caused this misunderstanding.

When he came back to his senses, the uncle looked at Xiao Ran's handsome face and couldn't calm down for a long time.

Suddenly, he didn't know what he thought, and hurriedly asked, "Xiao Ran, which school are you going to go to in college?" Yan Da? Or Huaqing? ”

"I haven't figured it out yet."

"How can this not be thought out yet! It's about your future development, don't be sloppy! "Uncle is also in a hurry, and he can't beat his chest in a hurry.

"No, teacher, why are you so excited?" Xiao Ran was a little strange.

"Ahem!" The uncle's face suddenly turned red, and he said, "Actually, I think...... I can actually teach for a few more years. ”

Taking Xiao Ran as a graduate student delayed him, but it shouldn't be a problem to bring a college student.

Lian is quite old, and he can still eat ten catties of rice and meat, there is no reason why he can't teach it when he is only in his sixties.

Retire? Step back and take a break!

Rehire!

Regardless of whether Xiao Ran decides to go to Yan University or Huaqing, he is a student, and I will accept the old man today!

Xiao Ran: ......

Uncle really didn't know how to answer this, so he could only divert the topic.

"Teacher, which journal should you submit to for this paper?"

At this time, the uncle was still pondering whether to go to Huaqing or Yan University to teach, and immediately said without thinking: "Almanac of Mathematics, it just so happens that Professor Eleonora Walls is my friend and one of the reviewers of the Annals of Mathematics, I can send him your paper and let him show it to you." ”

The Annals of Mathematics is published bi-monthly by the Department of Mathematics at Princeton University in collaboration with the Institute for Advanced Study.

It is internationally recognized as one of the top four journals in mathematics, and its impact factor is considerable.

Xiao Ran pondered for a while, and felt that there was no problem, so he immediately thanked sincerely: "Then thank you teacher." ”

Uh-huh!

The uncle nodded perfunctorily.

What is this kid going to Huaqing? Or go to Yanda?
