From that day on, Xia Qiu lived a life of misery. Every day, Su Qingyun supervised her in studying and doing homework. Her grades improved rapidly, but she lost a lot of weight and was completely exhausted both physically and mentally.
While supervising her studies, Su Qingyun was also organizing the manuscripts and notes of her calculations over this period of time. After finally finishing a paper, she showed it to her teacher and submitted it only after confirming that there were no problems.
At this time, it was almost June.
By mid-June, after completing their last final exam, they will graduate. The quality of their jobs will depend on their grades and their performance over the past three years.
Looking at the classmates around him studying hard, Xia Qiu finally felt a sense of urgency. He was no longer under pressure from Su Qingyun to study, but was willing to study hard on his own initiative.
The last exam for the senior year of the town middle school is coming soon.
"Don't be nervous, relax, do well in the exam, and perform at your best." Su Qingyun comforted Xia Qiu.
"I know." Xia Qiu took a deep breath.
?After saying this, she walked into the examination room resolutely, with a determination not to return until she had conquered Loulan.
Su Qingyun smiled and followed him into the classroom.
Soon, the exams were over, which also meant that their three-year high school career had officially come to an end.
The test results will not be released for another two days, and the assigned jobs will also be announced at that time.
Su Qingyun didn't care about these things, because after more than two months, she finally received a reply from the "Annals of Mathematics".
More than two months ago, she submitted her prepared paper to the Annals of Mathematics. After traveling across the ocean, it took more than half a month for the paper to reach the editorial office of the Annals of Mathematics.
Annals of Mathematics is one of the most authoritative mathematics journals in the world. It has a long history and its founding purpose is to introduce and analyze issues of social interest or importance in pure and applied mathematics.
The Annals of Mathematics was originally published by Harvard University, but later moved to Purdue University, known as the "World Center of Mathematics." With a bimonthly publication period, fewer than 100 articles appear annually. One can imagine how difficult it is to get published in this mathematics journal. Furthermore, to date, very few Chinese mathematicians have had their papers published in this journal.
This was also the journal that Mr. Stevens strongly recommended her to submit her articles to. The reviewers of "Annals of Mathematics" do not care about the identity of the submitters, but only focus on the content of the submissions, which is most suitable for Su Qingyun.
When Su Qingyun's paper arrived at the editorial office of the Annals of Mathematics, it was noon in California, Country A, and everyone in the editorial office was taking a break.
"Knock, knock, knock!" There was a knock on the door of the office of Mr. Benjamin, the editor-in-chief of the "Mathematical Annals".
"Come in." Benjamin opened his eyes, pressed his tired temples, and took a sip of coffee to quickly refresh himself.
Editor Randy walked in with a thick letter in his hand.
"Mr. Benjamin, there is a letter for your contribution."
"Mine?" Benjamin was a little confused. "Why would they give it to me directly?"
Submissions to the Annals of Mathematics are all delivered directly to the editorial department’s public mailbox. How come there was a letter delivered directly to him?
"I don't know, sir." Randy shrugged.
Benjamin took it doubtfully and said, “You go out first.”
"Yes, sir." Randy went out.
Just as Benjamin was about to open the envelope, he saw the postmark on the cover of the envelope and his gaze stopped.
Benjamin looked stunned. How could this be a submission letter from China?
Not to mention him, even their editorial department itself rarely receives submissions from China. The reason is simple: Chinese mathematics has never had a good reputation internationally.
Most of the submissions they received from Chinese people in the past contained some unoriginal mathematical ideas. Over time, they have formed the inherent view that Chinese people have no innovative thinking ability when studying mathematics.
Why on earth would a Chinese submission be sent directly to him? Benjamin was even more puzzled. He opened the envelope while thinking about it.
There were two things in the envelope, a thin piece of paper and dozens of pages of mathematical formulas and letters. Benjamin glanced at it and looked at the thin piece of paper first.
There was beautiful cursive English written on the paper. Mr. Benjamin first looked at the signature and was stunned.
Is this... Mr. Stevens?
How could it be him?
Benjamin put away his casual attitude as he thought it was a Chinese submission and took a closer look at the letter to Mr. Stevens.
"Dear Benjamin, I'm your old friend, Orlando Stevens. I'm writing to you today to recommend an outstanding young mathematician, Ms. Su Qingyun. Although she's still very young, only 17 years old this year, my interactions with her have confirmed that she is a genius with exceptional mathematical talent. She has so many unique and ingenious ideas about mathematics that are unlike anyone else. Her logical thinking skills astound me, and I'm often deeply moved by her mathematical insights. I'm certain she will achieve great things in the mathematical world."
"Benjamin, if one day you receive a submission from her, I implore you to take a serious look at it. I believe she will definitely surprise you."
The letter was not long, but Benjamin read it over and over again several times. He still couldn't believe that Stevens would write such a sincere letter of recommendation for a Chinese girl?
Benjamin could see that what was written in the letter of recommendation was indeed Stevens' true words, but that was precisely why he was even more surprised.
As a world-renowned top mathematician, why did Stevens take a 17-year-old girl so seriously?
Benjamin couldn't imagine how profound her mathematical insights and research could be in the field of mathematics. And why did Stevens speak up for her?
But even though he had many doubts in his mind, Benjamin still opened Su Qingyun's submission and read it carefully.
When he saw the first line of words, Benjamin smiled. "On the phased proof and ideas of the Riemann hypothesis."
The Riemann Hypothesis? Benjamin almost couldn't contain his laughter. Was he really seeing things? A 17-year-old Chinese girl submitted an article to their editorial department, and the content of the submission was actually about the Riemann Hypothesis?
Putting these elements together, Benjamin just found it funny. The Chinese have now begun to daydream. Have they made any moves on these world-class mathematical conjectures?
