I reach the pinnacle of life by learning

"Annual Journal of Mathematics" editorial board.

As a top journal, the intensity of professional editorial work here is far beyond that of ordinary people.

Except for some bigwigs in the industry, most of the contributors are unknown, fantasizing about reaching the top of the "Annals of Mathematics".

After all, the submission address is there, and anyone can try it.

Louis went to tea and got a cup of coffee instead. Yesterday he had been high at the nightclub until two o'clock in the middle of the night, which made him feel a little depressed at work today.

One of the advantages of being an editor of a top journal is that the working place is relatively free.

Although they are not scholars, they have a high salary and a high social status because they have certain professionalism and are difficult to be replaced.

Louis was used to working at home, so he opened his editor's mailbox and browsed from where he had seen it last time.

In order to keep his work from being too boring, Louis is used to making complaints about manuscripts while reviewing manuscripts.

"How come in 2015, there are still people who are obsessed with Fermat's last theorem." Louis said in a strange way, "Oh, it's a black friend from Texas who graduated from the mathematics department of Pheasant University and is now working in the accounting office. Being a clerk... let me see what I've read."

"Using Gairova's theory, it seems that Fermat's theorem should have been studied. How did you calculate this result? You can't write a calculation formula at all when you use trigonometric function values ​​to calculate the angle? God, why do you let this kind of thing be hot? my eyes."

Although he was ruthless, as a professional editor, his reply was very polite.

[Your paper is very interesting, but I am sorry that it is not rigorous enough. Refuse.]

……

For top journals like theirs, the reasons for rejecting manuscripts can be very arbitrary.

Insufficient professionalism, no innovation, the field of the article does not meet the requirements of the journal, and even too many manuscripts in the recent journals have no vacancies, all of which can be the reasons for rejecting the manuscript.

Lewis is not the editor-in-chief, but at the time of the first instance, the rights of these editors are still quite large.

He looked for several hours, but did not find a paper that could be read.Look again, my working hours today are almost over, so Louis is ready to end his day's work.

——At least, that's what Louis thought the second before he saw the latest email.

Two papers were sent to the same mailbox at the same time.

One is called "Proof of the Twin Primes Conjecture" and the other is called "Proof of Goldbach's Conjecture".

Louis couldn't swallow a mouthful of coffee, and almost choked his trachea.

Even today's top mathematicians have almost given up on these two conjectures, but the related papers received by the "Annual of Mathematics" have never stopped.

Most of the time, what the contributors wrote shocked the journal editors with their brain circuits... And for some reason, Chinese people are always particularly persistent in this conjecture.

Louis looked at the self-introduction of the contributor. Not surprisingly, he was from China again.And the writer is a freshman in the Biology Department of Yenching University, named Qiao Yu.

"Young people nowadays are still very thoughtful."

It is afternoon in Los Angeles, probably early morning in Huaguo.Late at night is always easy to make young people impulsive.

Louis glanced at the screen, then turned off the computer.

If the contributor was Gregory Perelman or Faltings, or even Schultz... then Louis must have been watching and studying seriously, kneeling in front of the screen to read the paper all night long.

But an unheard of college student?forget it.

It was like Louis hearing a junior high school student make a bomb in his bedroom.

Although it is not yet four o'clock in the afternoon, his work tasks for today have been completed.For the rest, just wait until tomorrow.

Qiao Yu worked overtime and finished writing the thesis. After pressing the send button, she felt that she had finally completed a difficult task.The next step is to wait for the results of the review.

In the past few days, although he has woken up, at the strong request of his relatives and friends, he is still staying in the hospital for observation and waiting for the results of the physical examination.

So Qiao Yu simply took the computer from the dormitory and stayed up late writing papers in the ward with Song Tianyu on his back every day.

It took him a lot of effort, coaxing and tricking Song Tianyu to give up the idea of ​​staying in bed.

After all, being interrupted in the middle of writing a thesis is a very irritable thing.And Song Tianyu would definitely not agree with him staying up late.

Invincible feels too lonely.

After Qiao Yu finished posting the thesis, he lay on the bed and took out his mobile phone after deep thinking.

Qiao Yu: Are you there?

At eight o'clock the next morning, the other party's reply was long overdue.

Li Chujie: Why? [/Smile]

Ever since Qiao Yu rejected the proposal of a double degree, Li Chujie is like a jilted ex-girlfriend, and always looks weird when seeing him.

Qiao Yu: I wrote a thesis.

Li Chujie: What did you write?let me see.

I knew he was going to ask this question, but Qiao Yu didn't plan to say it before everything was settled, because the thesis needed to be kept secret after all.Anyway, when the time comes, they will know.

Qiao Yu: You will be able to see it when it is broadcast on the news network.

Li Chujie: "..."

Damn, why does he feel that Qiao Yu has become more and more arrogant recently, did he take him as a professor seriously?

Also, what kind of papers can be written on the news network?Is it good to be on the news feed?

Li Chujie's thousands of words merged into one sentence: "Did you wake up?"

Although he slept quite late and opened his eyes on time at six o'clock in the morning because of the biological clock, Qiao Yu thought he was still quite awake.

However, Qiao Yu didn't intend to explain too much to Li Chujie, his goal of expressing his excitement had been achieved.

Presumably in the future, even if he really sees his name appearing on the news broadcast, he will be able to remain calm.

Thanks to the overtime efforts of the hospital, Qiao Yu's physical examination results came out soon.

All physical indicators are normal, even better than many sub-healthy adults.

In this way, it seemed that the previous heart attack was unreasonable.

Most patients with congenital heart disease have no obvious symptoms, and are not much different from ordinary people.Judging from the test results, Qiao Yu obviously belonged to this type of person.

The expert group studied for a long time, but they didn't know the reason.If he didn't dare to prescribe the medicine indiscriminately, he could only ask Qiao Yu to pay attention to health preservation.

Qiao Yu vaguely guessed the reason.

After he woke up, the hundreds of bottles of energy potions stored in the system backpack all became "frozen" and could not be used.

This made Qiao Yu vigilant.

At least... the system isn't omnipotent, or, well, not 100% harmless.

Because the hospital had no cure, the discharge was quickly approved.

On the day she was discharged from the hospital, Qiao Yu received a reply from the editorial department of "Annual Journal of Mathematics".

He was rejected.

The reason is: Qiao Yu's paper is very interesting, and there are too many manuscripts recently. I hope he can submit it to a more professional journal.

When seeing the reply again, Qiao Yu couldn't help raising his eyebrows.

When editors of this kind of journals reject manuscripts, there are always many templates for copying and pasting.And the reply Qiao Yu received was obviously a routine one, or one with a very sarcastic tone.

Although the impact factor of "Annals of Mathematics" is not high, its status in the mathematics world is beyond doubt.

If you really want to find a more professional journal in the field of mathematics than the "Annual Journal of Mathematics", I am afraid that the only one left is the "Acta Mathematics" sponsored by the Swiss Royal Academy.

To be honest, I got a reply within a week or so, which was actually far beyond Qiao Yu's expectations.

It is not uncommon for top journals like this to wait in line for half a year for the first trial.

But it is clear that this editor did not carefully review the paper, but brought bias and subjective color.Very regrettable.

After a paper is rejected in a journal, if it is revised and then submitted, the probability of passing will be much lower.It's like the twice-cooked meat of a girl group, even if it is the second time to participate in the selection, it is difficult to make a debut.

Qiao Yu shook his head, and began to search the school's intranet for the submission method of "Journal of Mathematics".

Because the editor works voluntarily for the professors of the Swiss Royal Academy, the submission method of the "Acta Mathematica Sinica" is hardly disclosed to the public, so as not to increase the work intensity of the professors.

In the Yanda Forum, although there are not many people who contribute to the "Journal of Mathematics", after so many years, there are still a few people who dare to eat crabs.

While searching, Qiao Yu murmured: "I don't believe it, this paper can't be published yet."
