Scholar's Cultivation System Panel

"I didn't expect that the competition paper I was optimistic about before was actually completed by this guy leading the team."

On April 26, 2017, Xu Yun in the dormitory looked at the newly announced list of winners of the US Competition, feeling very surprised.

After the competition papers selected for the grand prize entered his mailbox last month, he also deliberately stopped writing his graduation thesis to fulfill his obligation as a member of the organizing committee to analyze, research and select the competition papers.

In addition to giving an evaluation of each paper, the most favorite one was selected as the grand prize winner.

Regarding the selection of competition papers, it is mainly carried out from the perspectives and processes, as well as the construction of models.

Compared with the domestic Higher Education Society Cup, which focuses on the process, the international mathematical modeling competition focuses on ideas.

In addition to the novel idea, the competition paper he liked could not find any faults in the process. In addition, the three methods used in the model construction made his eyes shine and he was very fond of it.

However, because the way of answering the questions was different from that of the domestic teams, he originally thought it was an overseas team.

Unexpectedly, the team led by Pu Wenxing of Qinghua University won the special prize together with Li Wenqing and another member.

You must know that the selection of the special prize needs the support of many judges. Pu Wenxing and the others can win the special prize, which shows that their thinking and process of answering the questions really conquered the organizing committee.

When they participated in the Higher Education Club Cup last time, the other party only won the Innovation Award, and this time they won the US Competition Trophy to make up for their regrets.

It is a pity that Zhou Qi and Zhang Xiaoyuan's team failed to achieve excellent results.

The ranking obtained is at best a consolation prize.

But this situation is quite normal. It can only be said that Zhou Qi and Zhang Xiaoyuan still retain the ideas and methods of answering questions when they participated in the Higher Education Society Cup. It is difficult to gain an absolute advantage in the international mathematical modeling competition. It is not white participation.

On the contrary, Pu Wenxing has done a good job in this respect, being able to flexibly change the style of himself and the group.

Soon after his emotions calmed down, considering his identity as a judge and his relationship with Pu Wenxing and Li Wenqing, he hesitated for a while and reposted the list of winners on Weibo to congratulate the two teams.

It is worth mentioning that, apart from the company account, he did not have a personal account.

Or the Mathematics Association proposed to register an account, and use your identity and achievements in mathematics to stimulate everyone's passion for learning mathematics.

Thinking that this is not a troublesome thing, he registered a Weibo account.

The user name is your own name, and the only authentication information is the simple information of membership of the Mathematical Society.

It may be due to the enthusiasm brought about by the previous proof of Hodge's conjecture. It didn't take long for him to register and his number of fans reached one million, and most of his fans were college students.

So not long after the news was posted, a lot of comments were refreshed below.

"The front row pays homage to God Xu, and bless me not to fail the final exam."

"Can Xu God wish me good grades in the college entrance examination this year? I also want to go to Jingzhou University."

"Has Qing Hua won the special prize this time? It should be chosen by God Xu."

"It's a pity that Xu Shen didn't participate in the competition, otherwise he would have won a double championship of the Higher Education Club Cup and the US Championship."

"Can you help me with the paper, I can pay for it."

...

Xu Yun swiped the mouse and glanced casually, then directly closed the page and continued to browse without interest.

Since he registered a private account, he has received a large number of private messages every day.

Some asked him for math problems, and some posted the original text of the paper for him to revise. The workload was more than that of professors in colleges and universities.

He was busy writing his graduation thesis, so naturally he couldn't have time to help with these things, so basically he would never open his login account except for using Weibo.

After dealing with the list of winners, Xu Yun refocused on his graduation thesis.

Continue the process of proving the existence of infinite prime numbers in the Fibonacci sequence, and write according to the paper format.

As for the topological group theory method used in it, it has not been explained in depth.

In addition to considering that there is still a lot of room for improvement, I also think that I will have time to write a paper alone in the future.

This allows the paper to be written very quickly because the entire argument is already successful.

It doesn't take much effort at all, just like copying something.

that's all.

As time entered into May, his undergraduate thesis was finally completed.

And it also includes courseware for defense.

After Tang Yanshan got the news, he did not review the thesis in advance as he said before, but directly set a time for the defense with Qin Xiangxin.

...

...

"It's only my defense, and I don't know how long it will last."

In a defense room of the Department of Mathematics in late May, Xu Yun tidied up his courseware and looked up at the empty seat in front of him, waiting patiently for the defense jury to enter to participate in his defense.

According to the normal tradition of the Department of Mathematics of Peking University, many people often defend in turn.

It is indeed the first time for him to defend alone like he is now, and the lineup of key mentors is rare even in the whole country.

Speaking of which, until now, he still doesn't know how many well-known domestic mathematics professors Qin Xiangxin has recruited, but he can imagine how cruel and sharp the following questioning session will be.

Fortunately, this graduation thesis was written by him himself, and he did not ask any teacher to help revise it. No matter what kind of difficulties he faced, he believed that he could always maintain a logical and clear answer with ease.

at the same time.

As a commercial vehicle stopped in the department, dean Qin Xiangxin, Tang Yanshan and He Antai hurried up to meet it.

When the car door was opened from inside, Yuan Chengming got down first, followed by five middle-aged men.

Judging from their hairstyle and temperament, they are obviously senior professors in colleges and universities.

"Dean Qin."

"We're not late, are we?"

"What Academician Yuan said, the Mathematics Association is willing to support our Peking University Department of Mathematics, but I am too late to be grateful." Qin Xiangxin responded with a smile when he heard Yuan Chengming's words.

"Xu Yun is also a member of the Mathematics Society, and participating in his graduation defense is what we should do."

Yuan Chengming waved his hand and did not take the credit, and his eyes were full of love when he mentioned Xu Yun.

He has already regarded Xu Yun as the person who will promote the development of domestic mathematics in the future, and he wants to take over his position to lead the mathematics society. He will definitely not refuse Jingzhou University's request.

What's more, with Xu Yun's achievements, if you don't form a high-standard lineup, you may become a teacher listening to the defense.

When Yuan Chengming first got the news from Qin Xiangxin, he talked about it inside the Mathematical Society.

Unexpectedly, many professors enthusiastically signed up. According to their words, they all wanted to see what Hodge conjectured the proofer's graduation thesis would be.

After all, it proved Hodge's conjecture. If the graduation thesis was too academically valuable, it would be impossible to get it out.

If it is the graduation defense of ordinary undergraduates from other schools, even if the principal of the other party invites them in person, they may not necessarily participate, but Xu Yun is a special exception.

In the end, Yuan Chengming selected five senior mathematics professors from Qinghua University and Imperial Capital University to come to Jingzhou to cooperate with the Department of Mathematics of Peking University to complete Xu Yun's graduation defense.

"That kid is already waiting in the defense room, let's go over there." After greeting each other, Tang Yanshan took the initiative to say something.

When the topic turned to serious matters, everyone stopped talking and headed to the Q\u0026A room under the leadership of Qin Xiangxin and Tang Yanshan.

Since they are all in the circle of mathematics and are members of the Mathematics Society, they can be called familiar with each other.

On the way to the Q\u0026A room, Tang Gucong, deputy dean of the Mathematics Department of Imperial University, took the initiative to ask questions.

"What is the topic of his graduation thesis?"

At this time, Tang Gucong was still a little worried. His research field was mainly number theory analysis, and Xu Yun was able to prove Hodge's conjecture that he was best at algebra, topology, and mathematical analysis. Under normal circumstances, he would choose what he is best at for his graduation thesis. If he can't understand Xu Yun's graduation thesis then he will embarrass Imperial Capital University.

Therefore, before the defense officially begins, it is necessary to understand and prepare a little bit.

And Tang Gucong's words were also agreed by several other people, and they echoed the words while walking.

"Old Tang is right. Knowing his choice of topic at least makes us mentally prepared."

"After all, he is a mathematical genius who proved Hodge's conjecture. It's really not good if you don't take it seriously."

"I'm afraid that some of us old guys won't even be able to understand it, then it will be really embarrassing and embarrassing."

"The current students are all very evil."

Tang Yanshan listened to the words of several people, but at this moment his expression was slightly embarrassed.

Because he didn't know what the topic of Xu Yun's graduation thesis was going to be?

Organized the language a little bit, with a forced smile on his face, he said: "I'm not afraid of your jokes when I say it, I'm afraid I'm not qualified to guide him to write a graduation thesis at my level, so the specific direction of the topic selection will not be known until the defense officially starts. "

Hearing this, including Tang Gucong, the expressions of several people were a little stagnant, thinking that even Tang Yanshan was not qualified to guide, so the academic value of this graduation thesis would not be low.

Just when several people were thinking about this, Yuan Chengming, who was walking in front, couldn't help it.

Temporarily stopping in his tracks, he turned around and said with a smile, "You are all well-known mathematics professors in China anyway, so you are worried about this and that when you participate in an undergraduate's graduation defense."

"Do not worry."

"As long as that kid no longer proves a world math problem, there is no problem in helping him complete the defense at our level."

"At that time, we will have to make things difficult."

Regarding Yuan Chengming's words, although everyone wanted to say that this was not an ordinary undergraduate student, it did make sense after thinking about it.

Hodge's conjecture may be difficult for them, but it is impossible for Xu Yun to prove the world's mathematical problems again, but there is really nothing to worry about if the topic is selected normally.

After relaxing again, he followed Tang Yanshan and Qin Xiangxin and finally arrived at the defense room after a short walk.

At the same time, they all thought in their hearts that the next questioning session must increase the difficulty so that Xu Yun can show his true strength.

High level means high standard. If it is as simple as the graduation defense of ordinary undergraduates, there is no need for them to come to Jingzhou from the imperial capital.
