From all-round academic master to chief scientist

Soon, according to the standard format sent by Teacher Xu, Lin Xiao finally completed his thesis, which tortured him to death. After all, there were a lot of special symbols that could not be typed using the input method, so he could only use WORD to insert formulas. Tools, which are also troublesome.

But finally, he got it all done.

After that, it’s time to translate the full text.

Naturally, he put this part in a dictionary and translated it directly, and then started to check it from scratch.

In this way, he came back from noon and worked on it until evening, and the entire paper was finally completed.

This is the advantage of mathematics papers. A lot of mathematical formulas do not need to be translated. These are universal, and only the text and the like need to be translated.

Afterwards, he sent the translated paper to Xu Hongbing, who would help him check whether the translation was accurate. As a mathematics professor who has also published in foreign journals, Xu Hongbing certainly had no problem with this.

He also wanted to contact Beijing University by the way and ask them to look at the paper for him, and then make arrangements for paper submission and other matters.

As for whether he should worry about whether the professors at Peking University will steal his paper, there is no need to worry. Let’s not talk about the professional ethics of professors at Peking University. Even if we take a step back, if the professors at Peking University If they really want to steal his paper, he can definitely tell Qinghua University about it, and Qinghua University will definitely help him when the time comes.

Taking a step back, if Qinghua doesn't help, then he will go to Xu Hongbing. Xu Hongbing told him that if the worst happens, he will go to court directly. He is willing to appear in court to testify. Lin Xiao All chat records with him can be used as evidence.

The paper was sent to Xu Hongbing, and he called the phone number left for him by the admissions office of Beijing University. The other party told him that he could get through between 7 a.m. and 10 p.m.

After a while, the other party connected.

"Hey, is this classmate Lin Xiao?"

The one who spoke was a female voice, none other than Teacher Liu Qiuwen from the Admissions Office.

"Teacher Liu, it's me."

"Classmate Lin, what are you doing on the phone now? Oh, by the way, I would like to congratulate you first. You entered the second stage of the IMO selection with first place. Judging from your results, you will definitely be able to enter the national team. ."

"Haha, thank you, Teacher Liu." Lin Xiao thanked him with a smile, and then got down to business: "I'm sorry to disturb you so late. The thing is, I wrote a mathematics paper and want to submit it to the "Annals of Mathematics" , I hope that Beijing University can help me take another look at the paper to see if there are any problems, and then help me quickly pass the review stage of the journal, is that okay?"

Listening to Lin Xiao's words, Teacher Liu was stunned.

What did you say?

Just wrote a math paper?

Is this the super math genius who got perfect scores in the math competition?

Are you so fucking 17 years old?

Only 17 years old!

You haven't even graduated from high school yet, and you're already writing mathematics papers and publishing them in journals?

Do all students who can enter Beijing University now need to achieve such an outrageous level?

I think she was also a top student at Modan University back then, and the only thesis she put a lot of effort into writing was just her graduation thesis. If she hadn't gone on to become a graduate student at Beijing University, or she wanted to be a teacher at Beijing University, it wouldn't have mattered. Don't even think about it.

In addition, because she didn't know much about mathematics journals, she didn't realize what kind of journal Lin Xiao was talking about, "Annals of Mathematics". Otherwise, she would have been even more shocked.

"Teacher Liu?"

Lin Xiao didn't get a response for a long time, so he couldn't help but ask.

Liu Qiuwen came back to her senses, responded quickly, and then said with emotion: "I'm sorry, classmate Lin Xiao, I was shocked by your news just now. You haven't even graduated from high school, and you have to publish a mathematics paper. It’s really amazing.”

Lin Xiao said modestly: "It's okay, I didn't think about it. I happened to solve a problem when I was participating in the training camp, and then a teacher I met there asked me to publish a paper. I didn't think about it before. Pass."

"So that's it, it's pretty awesome anyway." Teacher Liu said with a smile: "Okay, I'll help you contact the professor of the School of Mathematics right away, and then I should contact you tomorrow. Details will be given then. Just talk to the professor, I'm not a math major, so I don't understand this."

"Okay, thank you for your hard work, Teacher Liu."

"It's okay. I believe the School of Mathematics will be very happy when they hear the news."

Then, he hung up the phone.

At this time, Lin Xiao also received a response from Xu Hongbing. Xu Hongbing said that he would help him check whether the translation was accurate tonight and give him a reply as soon as possible tomorrow.

Lin Xiao was very grateful to Xu Hongbing for his dedicated efforts. After expressing his gratitude, as for repaying something, he could only wait until he had the opportunity to talk about it in the future.

At this time, he also felt a little sleepy. Since he had been riding in the car all morning and working on his thesis all afternoon and into the evening, he would certainly be tired, so after washing, he went to sleep directly.

I believe he will have a good sleep tonight.

…

On the other side, go to Beijing University.

After Liu Qiuwen answered Lin Xiao's call, she immediately contacted Professor Zhou Wu, deputy director of the Department of Mathematics of the School of Mathematics.

"Is this Professor Zhou? I'm Liu Qiuwen from the Admissions Office."

"Teacher Liu, what's the matter?"

"That's right. I wonder if you still remember the student named Lin Xiao? He was the student who was recommended by CMO. He said he was sure to choose the Department of Mathematics."

Zhou Wu recalled for a moment, and then remembered that this student seemed to have performed very well in high school mathematics competitions, but he generally didn't pay attention to such things. He studied geometric analysis and partial differential equations. , and these are not tested in high school competitions, and every year Kyoto University has to accept dozens of recommended students, and there are about ten who are assigned to their mathematics department. How can he be in the mood to remember the names of these people.

The reason why he can remember Lin Xiao is because this student may not only be admitted to the top spot, but also win the gold medal in the IMO competition. No matter what, these two achievements are quite dazzling.

"I still remember, is there something going on?"

"It's like this. The student said that he wrote a paper, and then he probably hoped that Professor Zhou and your mathematics department could help take a look at it and help him pass a quick review or something."

After hearing Liu Qiuwen's words, Zhou Wu finally became interested. Can he write a mathematics paper before entering university?

This talent is really quite strong.

However, I just don’t know how good the paper is.

He didn't have any expectations for this. Being able to write a paper was already pretty good. If there were any breakthrough achievements, then professors like them might as well quit their jobs.

Then he asked: "He wrote a paper? In which direction?"

"Ah...I didn't ask about this, but he said he wanted to publish the Annual Review of Mathematics." Liu Qiuwen apologized.
