I reach the pinnacle of life by learning

It may be the first time that young scholars under the age of 30 can say that the draft "Acta Mathematica Sinica" is so calm.

In other words, it is probably the first time for young Chinese scholars to be able to submit a manuscript to the "Acta Mathematica Sinica" under the age of 30.

If you are more confident, you can remove the fear.

There are four major journals in mathematics, namely Acta Mathematica, Annals of Mathematics, Advances in Mathematics, and Journal of the American Mathematical Society.

Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, Huaguo scholars have published no more than 30 papers on it, and only about 10 papers have been published completely independently.

Qiao Yu was born 20 years earlier, and even relying on this paper, he has the qualifications to be selected as an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

If Li Chujie was here, there would have been a strange scream.

However, Song Tianyu, as an "outsider" through and through, just gave a long "Oh" to this!

Song Tianyu: "Congratulations, it sounds amazing."

Qiao Yu: "It's not a big deal, the page fee for posting is quite expensive... Hey, the editor said that the page fee reviewer, Mr. Hilton, has already paid it for me?"

After Hilton considered for a long time, the review was finally over.

For this reason, he didn't even take a bath for nearly half a month.Unkempt every day, coffee lasts.

But Hilton still felt that it was all worth it.

He wrote a comment at the end: A cross-century discovery, since then a bright pearl on the crown of mathematics has been taken off.

What shocked him the most was that Professor Hilton learned from Daniel that the contributor turned out to be a college student from Huaguo.

The first paper was written by him, and the second paper was written by his deceased grandfather.

The corresponding authors of the two papers are both Qiao Yu.

Hilton's impression of China still stays in the 90s, when he was invited to Yanjing to participate in an academic seminar. In the capital of a country, there were dark farmers farming on both sides of the road.

Although in recent years, I heard that Huaguo has developed well.But Hilton was still worried that as an ordinary college student, Qiao Yu couldn't afford to pay the $1.5 per page fee.

Although the sum of these two papers is only 130.5 US dollars, compared with some journals with page fees of 5000 dollars, it is already quite conscientious.

Generally speaking, journals with poorer academic environment will charge more fees, and scholars from other countries are more welcome to inject water.

After all, well-known local professors look down on them, but there are a lot of rich people abroad who want to be there.

Maybe this is the price of dreams.

After all, if a scholar does not have a thesis, it is almost impossible to move in the academic circle.

Qiao Yu silently remembered the friendship of Professor Hilton.

When Qiao Yu returned to the dormitory, he was warmly welcomed by all the roommates.

After half a month of military training, several roommates have blackened a few color codes, but Qiao Yu's face, which is recuperating in the hospital, is still white and glowing.

Cui Ren brought over the "Military Training Excellent Dormitory" medal and placed it on Qiao Yu's desk.

"Add 1 credit, God Qiao." Cui Ren winked at him, "I don't think our dormitory is any more noble than other dormitories. After thinking about it, it's because you were admitted to the hospital. I said what's wrong with your health, I I don’t want to be a graduate student, so behave yourself.”

The dormitory has an accident, and the whole dormitory is insured.It has almost become the tradition of universities in China.

Qiao Yu: "It's hereditary cardiomyopathy. I haven't had an attack before. This is the first time. I will pay more attention in the future. It's actually not a big deal."

Now that the manuscript has been passed, it is natural to share this good news with others.

Qiao Yu opened the address book, first told Wen Zaiye, and thanked him for his help.

Wen Jae-ye: Is it really over? ? ? ?So fast? ? ?

Qiao Yu: Yes.

Wen Zaiye held his mobile phone with mixed feelings.

He still feels dreamy.But Qiao Yudu swore that he could see his paper in the "Acta Mathematica" in a few days, so there seemed to be no need to lie.

Second, of course, tell Li Chujie.

Li Chujie was still in the office when he received the news, staring at the phone screen, and reacted for three seconds.

Li Chujie: Wait, please clarify first, is it the one from the Huaguo Academy of Sciences or the one from the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences?

Because of translation problems, foreign journals and Chinese local journals often have the same name.

In Huaguo, "Acta Mathematica Sinica" is also the first batch of journals in China, but its influence is obviously incomparable with "ActaMathematica".

As of 2015, only four scholars across the country have published papers on it.

Except for one published last year by a professor from Nantah University, the remaining three were published in 1933, 1951, and 2000.

Qiao Yu: The Swedish one.

Li Chujie:? ? ?real? ?

Li Chujie stood up from his chair in shock, startling Professor Zhou next to him.

"Old Li, what's the matter? There's a lot of fuss." Professor Zhou asked cheerfully.

Li Chujie turned his head: "I'll tell you one thing, don't be afraid."

Zhou Kai:?

Li Chujie said: "In our school, there is a freshman who published a paper on "ActaMathematica"."

The teacup in Zhou Kai's hand fell to the wooden floor with a crisp sound.

Princeton University.

Chu Xining closed the textbook, looked at Barton who was talking and laughing with the teacher on the podium, and sighed deeply.

Like most U.S. colleges and universities, Princeton starts in September.

As the center of mathematics in the world, demons dance wildly, geniuses gather here, and gods and men emerge in large numbers.

On the first day of school, when Chu Xining was wandering around the school, he saw Professor Nash, the real prototype of the movie "A Beautiful Mind". Later, when he was eating in the cafeteria, he saw Andrew Wiles who proved Fermat's last theorem...

The latter is the chair of the Department of Mathematics at Princeton University.

It was the third day of school, but Chu Xining already felt the IQ crush from his classmates.

Whenever he was puzzled, he would ask his classmates, and he would always get a strange look of "what you don't understand"...

Damn it, if it wasn't for the time difference between him and Qiao Yu, he wouldn't want to ask his classmates!

In China, Chu Xining is also a well-known academic master.

If it weren't for Qiao Yu's existence, he might be able to win the top spot in the college entrance examination.

After coming to Princeton for three days of classes, his biggest feeling is... It seems that he can't learn it?

Chu Xining's IELTS and TOEFL tests were not bad, but she still felt a little uncomfortable after changing the language environment suddenly.In particular, Professor Orgen, who teaches college algebra, is from Texas, with a heavy accent and a lot of slang, so that he had to record the class, and then slowly figured it out when he went back.

Princeton University is divided into the College of Arts and Sciences and the College of Engineering. During the freshman and sophomore years, there is no division of subjects, and students choose courses by themselves. It is not until the junior year that they start to divide majors, and then complete two years of undergraduate training.

Chu Xining wanted to learn mathematics, so the courses he chose were naturally related to mathematics.

Although there are already seniors majoring in art history, he told him that the number of graduates from the Department of Mathematics does not exceed 20 each year.

"At that time, I also thought that there was no point in coming to Princeton without studying mathematics and physics. But after studying for two months, I had to switch to computer science because of my lack of IQ. After half a year, it still didn't work, so I went to study finance again. "The face of the senior is full of vicissitudes, "Now, my major is art history. Do you understand what I mean?"

Chu Xining: "...Thank you. But it's still early in my junior year, so I want to try hard."

The senior patted him on the shoulder with a sympathetic expression.

What's more, he actually became classmates with Barton.

That's right, it was the genius boy who lost the game and then retired from the previous IMO competition.

As he grew older, the freckles on Barton's face faded a little, and his childishness gradually faded, and his face was quite attractive to female students.

Barton is obviously well-known among the university professors, and the professor Orgen, who taught the class, even unabashedly expressed his preference.In spare time, you can always see the two communicating and studying.

You know, in Princeton, this is quite rare.

Princeton University attaches great importance to undergraduate education, and uses almost "reckless" faculty to teach undergraduates.

It's just that although the professors have good resumes and many international awards at every turn, most of them are narcissists and look down on undergraduates.Different from the overall environment in China where teachers are good teachers, the time for one-on-one communication between teachers and students here is actually very little.

Chu Xining slowly sorted out the notes, sighed, and walked out of the classroom alone.

Chu Xining's social skills are not bad, but three days is not enough to gain a friend who can have lunch with him.

The Princeton University dormitory is a double room, and his roommate likes to eat at the speed of light, and then go to the library to check materials before class in the afternoon.

Chu Xining pushed open the door, and unexpectedly found that Barton was waiting for him at the door with arms crossed.

There was an awkward yet polite smile on his face: "Hello."

Button raised his chin slightly, tilted his head and asked, "I remember you, do you want to have lunch together?"

Chu Xining hesitated for a moment and agreed.Anyway, eating at school is not going to be a Hongmen banquet.

In order to cater for Chu Xining's taste, Barton specially chose the Chinese restaurant in the school, which is Cantonese cuisine.

In the beginning, the two of them didn't communicate much, and at most they commented on the taste of the food.

Chu Xining actually wanted to complain that the taste of Cantonese food was so fucking weird, except for the fact that the owner was a black-haired Asian, maybe the whole restaurant had nothing to do with Cantonese food... But seeing Barton eating happily, he didn't have the nerve to complain.

The meal was almost finished, and Barton finally asked the purpose of the trip: "Which university did Qiao Yu go to?"

"He didn't go abroad, he studied biology at Yenching University."

Barton's expression became very surprised, and then there was sudden anger: "He went to study biology?"

The suddenly raised voice made other people in the restaurant look sideways.

Chu Xining: "Yes, I'm also very surprised. But it's his own choice."

Button couldn't describe this feeling.

It's like, he worked hard to become stronger and stronger, and finally stood in the hall of an international conference, well-dressed, thinking that the other party would also appear, he thought of his lines, and reunited with a smile after many years, it may be a new challenge, or It will be a smile to wipe away the grudge... The other party is also in a suit and leather shoes, and they are both mature adults.

It turned out that the other party actually changed his career and sold finger cakes on the snack street in front of the conference hall.

Barton lost his appetite and left in a hurry after paying the bill.

However, he told Chu Xining that he could come and ask him any questions about his studies, "After all, your Qiao Yu can't help you anymore." What he said was yin and yang.

Chu Xining didn't take it to heart.

Barton held back for a whole day, and he didn't feel better until he returned to the dormitory and opened the new express delivery.

His order of Acta Mathematica arrived from the printing house.

As the academic center of the world's mathematics community, Princeton University always receives mathematics journals faster.

Maybe it was given to the professors, and it was also given to him by the way.

A few years ago, Barton still needed his father's help to read the above papers, but since graduating from high school, he has learned to read the papers independently... It doesn't matter if you don't understand it, as long as you learn more, you will be able to understand it one day.

Barton habitually flipped through the table of contents, which also helped him understand the papers in this issue and pick out the ones he was interested in.

Generally speaking, the higher the number of pages in the paper, the more important the editor thinks the paper is.

When Barton saw the first paper on the catalogue, the smile on his face froze.

The title of this thesis is only one line.

"Proof of the Twin Prime Number Conjecture", followed by the author's name, QiaoYu.
