Chapter 151 Cast a wide net

“So soon, Li Mo’s paper was published?” One issue of “Mathematics Monthly”, the headline on the cover of the monthly magazine: “The odd number is perfect, Euler has also returned in low spirits after failing the problem.”

“This old king, will not be unorganized Peer-reviewed, right?” Even though the paper was written by his own students, if it was not peer-reviewed, he would never allow such hasty publication.

He frowned and opened the magazine: “Why is it so difficult to conjecture perfect odd numbers? Author: Wei Xiaonian”, suddenly didn’t know whether to cry or laugh, it turned out to be a popular science article, “This old man is a good businessman.”

He understood the “Mathematics Monthly Card” ” magazine, they want to use Li Mo’s paper to “fire” in the academic circle.

“Professor, someone from Mathematical Monthly has sent an invitation letter.” The female assistant knocked on the door and handed over an envelope.

Professor Wu took the invitation and opened it. It said that Professor Wu was sincerely invited to participate in the seminar on “On: Perfect Conjecture of Odd Numbers”.

“Seminar? didn’t expect Lao Wang to have such courage at his age.”

“Perhaps Mathematical Monthly can really take this opportunity to renew Rejuvenated.”

At the same time, countless readers who received this issue of “Mathematics Monthly” were puzzled, has “Mathematics Monthly” changed into a popular science book?

Cambridge University, UK

The age-old Professor Risk arrived at his office at Wilberforce at 8:00 in the morning to prepare for his upcoming math class. Although as a senior professor, he no longer has to teach students in person, but he believes that communicating with youngster will help keep his thinking active, so he has always insisted on front-line teaching.

“Dear Risk, here is an invitation letter from you.” Assistant Miss Paco handed over a letter. “I’m from China, I guess I want to invite you to an academic conference.”

As an assistant to Riske, Ms. Paco often receives such letters, and of course most of them will be taught by professors. reject. Since the last accidental injury to his leg, professors at international academic conferences have rarely attended.

“Miss Paco, you’re a little more beautiful today, have you met a new boyfriend?” Riske took the envelope and said jokingly. He, a qualified assistant, is nearly 30 years old and has no stable boyfriend.

“What are you talking about, I’ve always been so beautiful.” Paco heard Professor Riske talk about her love life and ran away immediately. Although the professor has been caring for her like a father over the years, she is still reluctant to share her love life with others.

Professor Risk, sitting at his desk, decides to open the envelope. If it weren’t for the squares on the envelope, he would have thrown the envelope in the trash without the slightest hesitation. He has always been very interested in mysterious China, although there are not many scholars from there in the international mathematics community.

“Professor Riske is cordially invited to participate in the review session of “On: Perfect Conjectures for Odd Numbers.”

Perfect Conjectures for Odd Numbers? Professor Riske involuntarily stood up, Hua Guo scholar proved the odd perfect conjecture?

How is this possible? Risk shook the head, although he thought it was mysterious, but not mysterious or magical. He does not think that the odd perfect conjecture that even Euler has not proved will be proved by Hua Guo scholar.

Riske was about to throw the invitation in the trash, but stopped, “just in case it is real? I don’t want to miss a moment of witnessing history.”

“What method was used by the Chinese to prove the perfect conjecture of odd numbers, group theory or topology?”

For a real scholar, he would die if he heard the news and missed this opportunity. It may be regrettable for life.

Professor Risk placed the invitation lightly on the desk, and dialed a transoceanic phone number. The owner of the number is Professor Qing Dafang, whom he met at the International Congress of Mathematicians.

“Risk, it’s 3 o’clock in the afternoon in Yanjing now, you should be 8 o’clock in the morning. Don’t you need to prepare for teaching?” Came the familiar voice of Professor Fang from the other side of the phone.

Riske said: “I’ve taught books for half my life, and I don’t need to prepare for a long time. That’s right, I have something to ask you about.”

“You say it!” Fang the professor asked.

“I received an invitation from China. The content of the invitation is that an unknown magazine is going to hold a seminar on the perfect conjecture of odd numbers. I would like to ask if there are really people in your country. Has the odd perfect conjecture been proved?” Professor Riske recounted the problems he encountered.

Professor Fang on the other side of the phone thought about it for a while, and replied: “I have heard about this too. In fact, you should know the author of that paper.”

“I know too. “Risk tried his best to recall, he didn’t know many Chinese scholars.

Professor Fang said: “I mean you know his name, the author is Li Mo, the 18-year-old who proved the four-color conjecture and discovered Moxing.”

“It turned out to be him.” Professor Riske started. At that time, the proof of the four-color conjecture set off a wave of craze in the international academic circles. Later, Mo Xing was reported by the media in turn. He didn’t want to know. It’s a pity that mysterious Li Mo has been hiding from the media, and little is known about his identity in the West.

After hanging up the phone, Professor Riske decided to fly to China immediately. The works of miraculous genius are worthy of admiration.

“Why didn’t they come with an air ticket?” He found that the invitation letter didn’t even include a free air ticket, and the magazine was too stingy. Don’t they know that mathematicians are not rich?

“Miss Paco! Book tickets for me right away!”

“And help me stop classes for the week.”

Professor Ske shouted at the top of his voice.

The same scenario also happened in the University of California, MIT Academy, Stanford University, Paris VI University.

With the idea of casting a wide net and attracting more fish, Wei Xiaonian has a great influence on the world. Well-known professors have issued invitation letters, and they don’t need to provide air tickets anyway.

Of course, the only one “missing” is Professor SMITH of Princeton.

M, Princeton

Professor SMITH who was in a meeting received a call from a secret number, he got up and went back to his office, leaving a room full of scholars looking at each other in blank dismay.

“Hello, I’m SMITH.” After returning to the Conference Hall, Professor SMITH closed the doors and windows and called back.

The voice of “呲呲.呲呲呲呲” came from the phone, but Professor SMITH did not hang up.

Two minutes later, a voice came from the phone: “The person you are paying attention to has a new work coming out, and is preparing to hold an academic conference!”

“Dudu” .Beep.” After saying that, the phone hung up.

Professor SMIH put down the phone and dialed another number.

“Hello, I’m SMITH. I heard that Huaguo is going to hold an academic conference hall recently, isn’t it?”

“You have received an invitation letter, and mine may have been The assistant threw out the trash, and you know I have too many meetings.”

“What’s it about? Can you tell me?”

“Odd perfect guess? Really? Is it right?”

SMITH professor complexion ashen, who got a clear answer, put down the phone, picked up the cup on the desk, and slammed it down, shards of glass scattered.
