Reading as a god

Chapter 229 You are different

After sensing someone behind the screen, how could Zhang Shan give a clear answer~
A clear and selective answer may not please anyone, but it will definitely offend people.

Although it is not an insight into human nature, Zhang Shan will not do such a stupid thing.

Zhang Shan immediately began to talk about it from left to right.

~~~
At this time, a burst of hearty laughter suddenly came from behind the screen.

"Xiao Wu, don't fool me, okay?"

Immediately, many people came out from behind the screen.

Zhang Shan:? ? ?
I thought there was only one person, huh, how many people came here before~
Judging from their attire, it is obvious that these people are all professors of Mizuki, but it is not known which major they are in~
But Zhang Shan's previous guess was obviously wrong!

Zhang Shan glanced around inside, but did not see Professor Luo among them.

Interestingly, Zhang Shan took a look at the oldest of these professors, who seemed to be very old~
But the youngest is only [-] years old!

The professor who said that Professor Wu was fooling people just now is the oldest one among them.

It is not difficult to understand that everyone on the field with Professor Wu's qualifications is qualified to call Professor Wu Xiaowu, and this is the only one~
Although the academic field is not entirely based on seniority, such messy things as connections and prestige affect a lot invisibly.

Professor Wu, who was still in high spirits at first, immediately sank down when he saw this person:

"Well, after all, the robbers are here~"

"Xiao Wu, what are you talking about? Why have we become robbers?"

Zhang Shan saw that Professor Wu's face was full of "yes, yes, what you said is right~" expression.

Can't help but guess the identity of this person~
As if feeling Zhang Shan’s thoughts, Jarvis jumped out to remind Zhang Shan:

"Zhang Qinghe (fabricated), academician of KX Academy of my country, Department of Mathematical Physics; academician of Siege Academy of my country, honorary professor of Shuimu School of Mathematics, masterpiece..."

Academicians of the Chinese Academy of Sciences are selected from among the best scientists at home and abroad, and are additionally elected every two years.

先后于1955年、1957年、1980年、1991年、1993年、1995年、1997年、1999年、2001年、2003年、2005年、2007年、2009年增选了13次，共增选院士1100多人。

Among them, 197 are from the Department of Mathematical Physics, 181 from the Department of Chemistry, 240 from the Department of Life Science and Medicine, 196 from the Department of Earth Sciences, 83 from the Department of Information Technology Science, and 209 from the Department of Technical Science.

Among them, the selection criteria for the academicians of the Department of Mathematics and Physics are the most demanding, and the difficulty of becoming one of them can be seen~
And the most important thing is that this academician Zhang is still an academician of the two academies~
It's no wonder that Professor Wu, who is an academician of the Siege Academy, bowed his head to Academician Zhang~
But Zhang Shan knows that this is not the point. At this time, the only reasonable identity for this academician to appear here is that he is an honorary professor of the Department of Mathematics~
So these people in front of you are all professors in the Department of Mathematics?

Jarvis provided relevant information to Zhang Shan in a timely manner~
Looking at the detailed information that emerged in her mind, Zhang Shan couldn't help feeling the benefits brought by Jarvis~
But where did these professors from the mathematics department come from?
I don't seem to have anything to do with the mathematics department?

~~~
Even so, Zhang Shan politely greeted the professors in front of her~
"Mr. Zhang, hello~"

Hearing this title, Zhang Qinghe, who already had a gray beard, was full of joy on his face!
He has had all kinds of messy titles in his life, but Zhang Qinghe still likes to be called Teacher Zhang the most.

Professor Wu is depressed!

"Zhang Shan, you've known Academician Zhang for a long time~"

"It's like this. When I was writing a thesis before, I read the research results of Academician Zhang a lot, and I was deeply inspired by it~"

Hearing what Zhang Shan said, Zhang Qinghe smiled even more.

"Student Zhang Shan, we are both professors in the Department of Mathematics, and I won't be fooling around anymore. We are here today because of the paper you wrote~"

Zhang Shan was at a loss:
"Which paper? What happened to the paper?"

Hearing this, Professor Zhang couldn't help laughing and crying: "I co-authored you and you don't know anything~ Oh, yes, you should also know nothing. When your paper was officially published, I heard that you were hospitalized." ~
It is precisely because of this that the overwhelming reports originally planned for this paper have all been suppressed~"

Zhang Shan really didn’t know that there are so many stories behind this~
At this time, another young-looking professor behind Professor Zhang took out a file bag.

Take a magazine out of it!
Immediately handed the magazine to Zhang Shan.

After Zhang Shan took it, he saw the journal soon
—Annals of Mathematics.

With a top-notch English level, Zhang Shan translated the name of the newspaper in no time.

The Annals of Mathematics?It's the Annals of Mathematics? !

My darling, don't tell me that my paper has been submitted to the Annals of Mathematics? ? !

is this real?
Although not from the Department of Mathematics, Zhang Shan still knows the importance of the journal Annals of Mathematics.

Annals of Mathematics, originally published by Harvard University, moved to Princeton University (Princeton University), which is known as the world's mathematics center, in 1911. Now it is jointly published by Princeton University and the Institute for Advanced Study.

There are four journals in the field of mathematics, which are the most influential in the field of mathematics.

They are Annals of Mathematics, Inventiones Mathematicae, Acta Mathematica and Journal Of The American Mathematical Society.

What does this professor mean by showing me this?
Don't tell me that I published a paper on it, and Zhang Shan continued to read with apprehension.

A paper titled "A new proof of the four-color conjecture"~
This title Zhang Shan is almost no longer familiar, this is exactly the paper he typed before~
After that, he soon saw the information in the author's column - "Shan Zhang"

Look at the content of the paper again:
The four-color problem, also known as the four-color conjecture and the four-color theorem, is one of the three major mathematical problems in modern times in the world. Although the theorem has been proven, this paper tried several new proof ideas
Don't be familiar with this article anymore~
Zhang Shan only remembers that day in the studio, this paper almost automatically completed the polishing part and then automatically submitted~
Good guy, actually submitted to such an awesome journal!

A paper was published in this journal, what is this concept?
According to incomplete statistics, since the founding of New my country, research institutions in mainland my country have published about 30 papers in the four major international mathematical authoritative journals.

Among them, about 10 papers were completely completed by research institutions in mainland my country.

In the past, those who could publish an article in these journals were even considered eligible to be elected as academicians of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

In recent years, through the continuous efforts of domestic mathematicians, the number of articles published in these journals has continued to increase, but it is still a very proud thing to be able to publish articles in these journals.

Zhang Shan immediately understood why many mathematics professors came here~
~~~~
Seeing Zhang Shan's expression, the young professor next to Professor Zhang was stunned:

"Co-author, you really don't know about this?"

Zhang Shan said helplessly: "I just voted casually, I didn't expect the draft to be approved~"

At this time, several PhD students majoring in mathematics who came together with the professor of the mathematics department were speechless. Are the newcomers such beasts now?

And the most terrible thing is that he is still a guy from the computer department~
This makes those of us who specialize in mathematics face where to put it~
Professor Zhang Qinghe also pointed to Zhang Shan critically: "It is a good thing to be modest, but it is not good to be too modest~"

Zhang Shan hurriedly said: "Professor Zhang, I really didn't intend to be modest. My research topic is about the four-color problem. I really didn't expect that such an ancient topic would yield such huge results.

At that time, I also submitted the manuscript with the mentality of giving it a try. I really didn't expect to pass the manuscript smoothly. "

Hearing Zhang Shan's words, Zhang Qinghe's expression turned dark all of a sudden.

"Your matter reminds us that mathematicians should reflect. Over the years, we have been advancing towards the freshest and most cutting-edge topics, but neglected the in-depth digging of traditional topics~
This is a big misunderstanding in our work, after you..."

Zhang Shan didn't expect that Professor Zhang would suddenly fall into self-blame, maybe this is the real scholar!

After a long time, Professor Zhang said: "Student Zhang Shan, I read your thesis, and I feel that you are very talented in mathematics. I hope you can come to the Department of Mathematics to study. You can choose the Department of Mathematics as a second bachelor's major~
I will also do my best to cultivate you, as for what you promised Professor Luo before, don’t worry, Professor Luo and I have been friends for many years~”

Zhang Shan:? ?

Old friend for many years?I'm afraid it's not falling in love and killing each other~
Professor Zhang went on to say:

"In 1927, Shuimu University established the Department of Mathematics, which trained a generation of masters such as Chen Shiingshen, Hua Luogeng, Xu Baoyu, and created a glorious history.

I won't tell you how the Department of Mathematics is, but I will tell you about the international environment~
Since the financial crisis swept the world in 08, major countries in the world have suffered serious setbacks.

Many aspects of society, such as the economy and population mobility, are changing.

The United States is the most advanced country, and it is not immune.

Chinese people can literally understand "crisis" as: where there is danger, there is opportunity.Under the current situation, our country's economy will also suffer setbacks, and schools will also encounter financial difficulties, but our system is different from that of Europe and the United States.

In the past, the advantage of the United States lay in the independent running of private schools. When encountering difficulties, they would do their own thing and would not help each other. However, my country's system can ensure the coordinated development of major domestic universities and cultivate major talents.

Speaking of the school itself, Mizuki's style of study is actually very open, and at the same time he can create his own environment.

Looking through the history of Shuimu, I most admire Wang Guowei, one of the four masters of Shuimu’s national studies. He is an old man with braids in the Qing Dynasty. He has never received any degree, but his knowledge is brand new. The earliest and most important scholar of Chinese and Western academics—especially Chinese and German philosophical thoughts—he changed the research of Chinese history, literature, aesthetics and archaeology, and established the direction of these disciplines in our country in the [-]th century.

Before the 70th century, mathematics was inseparable from other disciplines, and physics and mathematics were often together; from the early 40th century to the [-]s, the development of mathematics became relatively independent; in the past [-] years, mathematics has gone the same way as before On the same path, mathematics has been greatly integrated with physics and engineering, and many outstanding results have been obtained, which are very important to mathematics itself and other disciplines.For every major change, mathematics itself has absorbed many important ideas. For example, the development of quantum field theory has brought about important changes in physics, mathematical physics, algebraic geometry, and topology, and the changes will continue to deepen.Even if we don't study in depth, we should still understand the new development trend, so that we can know what others are talking about when we listen to the speech.

The undergraduate and graduate stages are the time when you have the most time to study, and you need to spend more time understanding and thinking, and the most important thing is to lay a solid foundation.

Being at a loss in the face of difficult problems is not only encountered by students, but even famous masters will encounter the same embarrassment.

The great physicist Pauli (Wolfgang Pauli), whose exclusion principle (exclusion principle) is one of the most important milestones in physics in the twentieth century, before his death, Pauli once told his friend after drinking: "I will live forever Just waiting for the big problem to come so I can solve it, but when I watch the big problem come, I also watch it leave me because I have no way to solve it.” I think Pauli was talking about quantum electrodynamics (Quantum electrodynamics, QED), he didn't have enough tools to solve this problem at the time, so he felt very depressed.

I hope that after you come to the Department of Mathematics, you will try to learn some main tools, which are important "weapons" to deal with problems in mathematics, physics, biology or engineering in the future. These problems arise from nature, which are both complicated and interesting. Ways and tools to deal with it.

There are many tools that at first thought were unimportant and unpopular, and many people didn't want to learn them. This is often a wrong view.

I remember that 30 years ago, after topology reached a point, everyone thought that homotopy theory (homotopy theory) was not very useful.
So I didn't learn it, but in recent years, homotopy theory has become more and more important, because condensed matter physics uses many homotopy theories.Naturally occurring theories always have their benefits, let's not nitpick.

Zhang Shan, I sincerely hope that you will become a member of the Department of Mathematics."

Listening to the alternative "recruitment", Zhang Shan was actually a little moved~
Obviously, Academician Zhang really regarded him as a future student, so he told him these things~
Otherwise, there is no need to say these~
~~~
However, Goose didn't wait for Zhang Shan to be moved for too long, at this time Professor Wu jumped out~
"Zhang Shan, you must prove that you are qualified for this major. If you really want to go to the Department of Mathematics, you must complete all the courses in the Department of Computer Science within one year, and your grades must be in the top 5% of the same department. By then, are you willing to go to the Department of Mathematics and Otherwise I won’t interfere~”

Zhang Shan:?
But Professor Zhang said: "Don't worry, Zhang Shan, we can afford to wait for only one year. We welcome you in our Department of Mathematics~ I believe you can easily reach the top 5% of your major."

Zhang Shan:? ?

Professor Wu went on to say: "It doesn't make sense that your mathematics is just a hobby, and you can publish top journals. For you, you must publish a paper in the field of computer science, which can be accepted by any of SIGGRAPH, SIGCOMM, ACL, AAAI, and IJCAI. One by one the level of inclusion."

Zhang Shan:? ? ?
