Chapter 64: Proud
Wang Haiyang didn't dare to say anything. He had some doubts at first. This was a postgraduate question. Wasn't it too perfunctory for Teacher Li to let a little girl who obviously didn't look very young take a look at it for him?
However, before he could say anything, he was slapped in the face by the girl. The girl's height was so high that he couldn't close his mouth!
His explanation of the topic was as thorough as that of the professor, and even more patient and meticulous than that of the professor. He felt that he had wasted four or five years of study.
When this god enters Kyoto University, he will definitely be a celebrity!
Here, Li Yishen sighed, it turns out that excellent people are excellent at everything they do.
Wu Tong's first paper was very well written and translated. He could not find any major problems. He only modified a few special words to make the text more suitable for Western review.
"The problem is solved, right? If it's solved, Wang Haiyang, you can go back first!" Li Yisheng didn't have time to estimate how heartbroken the student was. After sending Wang Haiyang away, he called Wu Tong over and taught Wu Tong how to log in to the submission website for the Annals of Mathematics.
"Submit your paper to the Annals of Mathematics mailbox and take a rest in my office. Wait for a moment. I'll go see Professor Zhou Wenping."
After connecting the device and clicking print, Li Yisheng went to the Mathematical Research Center of Kyoto University with the still warm printed manuscript of the paper.
Professor Zhou Wenping is a top expert in number theory and fluid mathematics theory. He is the mainstay of Peking University's School of Mathematics, a Yangtze River Scholar, and a popular candidate for academician in the next few years.
The deputy director of the Kyoto University Research Center and the deputy dean of their School of Mathematics worked diligently to lay...the mathematical foundation and establish the connection between the Doi-Onsager model and the macroscopic Ericksen-Leslie model; he studied the relationship between a series of models at different levels and scales and developed a unified model that can describe complex phases and dynamic behaviors...he is a top scholar in the domestic mathematics community.
"Professor Zhou!" Li Yishen knocked gently on the office door and entered the office after a brief reminder.
"Yisheng, please come in. How come you have time to come to my place today?" Zhou Wenping was working at his desk. When he saw Li Yisheng, he stood up and greeted him with a smile. Li Yisheng had been studying number theory in recent years, and he had dealt with him a lot. The two were quite familiar with each other.
He led Li Yisheng to the reception area, "It just so happens that my students brought me some Mingqian Longjing tea yesterday. Let's try it together!"
Li Yisheng was in a hurry, so he had no time to drink tea. He and Professor Zhou were not strangers, and Professor Zhou was like a teacher to him in number theory. He said directly, "No, Professor Zhou, I have something to trouble you with. I have a student's paper on number theory, and I need your help to look at it!"
"You're not sure?" Zhou Wenping raised his eyebrows. Professor Li's number theory was not low. Although it was not his main research direction, he could still teach students. What kind of paper would make him feel uncomfortable?
"Yes, I'm not afraid of you laughing at me. This kid's number theory level is probably higher than mine!" Li Yisheng directly handed the Chinese version of the paper to Zhou Wenping, "You will know after you take a look!"
"Proof of Zhou's conjecture?" Zhou Wenping frowned upon seeing the question and pushed up his glasses. "Yisheng, are you making fun of me?"
Zhou's conjecture, a world-class unsolved mystery, Li Yisheng told him that a student had figured it out and showed it to him. What a joke, when did Xiao Li become so absurd!
He couldn't believe that he, Li Yisheng, did it himself, let alone a student!
Li Yisheng smiled bitterly, "Professor Zhou, please take a closer look. I witnessed this with my own eyes, proved it on the spot, and verified it myself. I did not find any logical errors or loopholes in the proof!"
Hearing this, Zhou Wenping couldn't help but become cautious. Li Yishen was not the kind of person who joked around, and his mathematical level was very solid. He couldn't find any errors in the paper, so he had no choice but to pay attention.
Zhou Wenping suppressed his negative attitude and reviewed it carefully.
After seeing this, Zhou Wenping did not raise his hand for a long time. In fact, soon after the beginning, he spontaneously pulled over the draft paper and pen to verify the calculations, without even taking the time to greet Li Yishen.
Li Yishen calmed down at this moment. He found a place to sit down and carefully read the English version of the paper in his hand, feeling the wonderful reasoning process and the mathematical beauty between the lines. Even though he had verified it once, he couldn't help but want to read it again. Such proof is the enjoyment of mathematicians.
After a long while, Zhou Wenping finally breathed a sigh of relief, his mood lifted, and he clapped his hands in admiration: "Wonderful, perfect and rigorous, such a wonderful proof method, this kid's math skills are so solid, and his thinking logic is so strong.
This difficult problem that has been hanging for nearly twenty years has been solved by our students from Peking University. We are so proud!
The future of Peking University really depends on these young people. Is this kid your doctoral student? This paper is enough for him to graduate early! Has the manuscript been submitted? It must be one of the four major journals. When will the defense meeting be arranged? Remember to notify me!
Yisheng, you have trained a top talent for our Beijing University, and the university should thank you! Is this child willing to stay in school after graduation? I will recommend him to join our mathematics research center! "
Before Li Yisheng could say anything, he listened to Professor Zhou Wenping's continuous sighing, and he couldn't interrupt. It was not until Zhou Wenping paused that he smiled helplessly and said, "Professor Zhou, I'm afraid your recommendation is not useful to this child!"
"Why, this child wants to study abroad? No problem? Princeton, Stanford, MIT? No matter which famous school he wants to go to, I will write a letter of recommendation for him. These schools will probably raise their hands and invite our child to study there. If our Peking University's child goes there, it will be the pride of these schools!" Zhou Wenping was so proud!
Although many of the talents sent abroad find it difficult to return to China, they shine on the international stage anyway, and their origins are still Chinese. If they can come back, they are even more welcome!
Li Yisheng held his forehead with his hand, "My dear Professor Zhou, please let me finish what I am saying. Please don't misunderstand me. This child has no intention of studying abroad. He will definitely study at our Beijing University. However, I am ashamed to say this. This child cannot be considered as my formal student, and I am not ashamed to be his teacher.
The kid who proved Zhou's conjecture is this year's CMO with the highest score. His name is Wu Tong. He is only sixteen years old this year and officially started studying at Peking University in September. Currently, he can only be considered a freshman.
You know, I was in the CMO examination group this year, and I met this kid when I was helping Peking University recruit people. You don’t know how talented this kid is. At that time, she was already able to do graduate school questions with ease! "
