I am really a language teacher

After Sun Ping bid farewell to Professor Gao, Professor Gao also sent an email to a familiar editor of the "Annual of Mathematics" magazine.Although academic journals pay attention to fairness and justice, there are still some human factors or other non-academic reasons.To put it simply, submissions with the name of famous universities are definitely more important than ordinary schools; and papers by academic masters will naturally receive more attention than papers by freshmen.

Without Professor Gao's e-mail, then Sun Ping's paper would not have been seen by the editorial department so quickly.But with Professor Gao's email and reminder, the editors naturally gave priority to finding Sun Ping's paper.I have to give Professor Gao some face. He is not only the director of the Department of Mathematical Physics of the Aurora National Academy of Sciences and the chairman of the Aurora Mathematical Society, he is also one of the vice-chairmen of the International Mathematical Union.He not only has a high status, but also publishes a lot of papers in the four major mathematics journals every year.The editors of the "Annual of Mathematics" naturally paid attention to the reminder of such a person.

After they read Sun Ping's thesis, their eyes were filled with surprise.Since the appearance of the "seven major mathematical problems", the process of solving these seven major problems has attracted much attention.It is a pity that today, the seven major mathematical problems are still the seven major mathematical problems, and there has been no progress at all.Now that a paper on the Poincaré conjecture appears in front of everyone, how can everyone not be excited?After the editors recognized the publication value of the paper, they immediately forwarded the paper to several mathematics experts in the magazine.

Generally speaking, top academic journals have a very strict review mechanism in order to prevent plagiarism or wrong papers from being published.First, the editors of the magazine will check the papers through a special inspection system to exclude plagiarized or excessively borrowed papers; then the special computer system will randomly distribute the papers to professional review editors, professional review editors do not Know who the contributor is, but the contributor and the journal editor do not know who the professional review editor is; finally, decide whether to publish or not based on the opinion of the professional review editor.

There are generally five types of opinions given by professional review editors: published; can be published after partial revision; large-scale revision is required before deciding whether to publish; more content needs to be added before deciding whether to publish; no publication value or wrong opinion.For paper contributors, the first two are naturally the best, which means that the paper can be published directly or with minor modifications.The middle two are more depressing, because you don’t know what the reviewers’ tastes are, and often you can’t satisfy the reviewers after making major changes several times, and finally the advantages of the paper are gone.As for the last item, that's more straightforward.

Due to the importance of this paper, the editor adjusted the number of peer reviewers to five, so Sun Ping's paper was sent to mathematics professors from five different universities.The first professor to receive this paper was Professor Jefferson of Stanford University, who was attracted by the title of the paper.According to the report of the International University Research and Survey Center, Stanford University ranks second in mathematics in the world, and Jefferson is the deputy director of the Department of Mathematics. This paper is well deserved in his hands.

After Professor Jefferson finished reading the paper, he immediately felt enlightened about all the doubts about Poincaré's conjecture.In particular, Professor Jefferson was satisfied that the author of the paper was very humble and did not deliberately omit steps because of his talent.Be aware that some paper contributors will deliberately omit some small steps in order to let reviewers know their abilities.If the reviewers don't understand, it's easy to leave a story behind.But the author was very serious, and this attitude satisfied Jefferson.

I don’t know if it’s a coincidence, but this paper happened to be sent to Stanford University, Princeton University, Paris VI University, Oxford University and King’s University University. These five universities are recognized as the five golden flowers in the international mathematics community.All five reviewers were delighted that the Poincaré conjecture was solved.After less than a month, all five reviewers gave their opinions, and all of them agreed that "Annual of Mathematics" should publish the full text of this paper as soon as possible.

After receiving the opinions of the five reviewers, the editor organized these opinions into a document and sent it to the chief editor along with Sun Ping's paper.The editor-in-chief knew about this paper a long time ago, and as a mathematician, he naturally knew the value of this paper.This paper not only wants to shock the world, but also shakes the world with the Annals of Mathematics.The editor-in-chief wrote down the words agreeing to publish on the publication and signed his name.

After sending this email, the editor-in-chief smiled secretly in his heart: "Finally we also have a milestone paper, and we will keep pace with "Acta Mathematics" in the future."

The new issue of "Annual of Mathematics" began to be mailed to all subscribers. As a professional academic journal, it is generally subscribed by universities, research institutions and professional libraries, and of course there will be several big names in the industry.Of course, the circulation of this kind of publication cannot be compared with that of general social science magazines, but its influence is enormous.

Professor Gao was writing something in his office that day, when he suddenly said to his assistant: "Xiao Liu, go to the library and see if the latest issue of "Annual of Mathematics" has arrived, and if so , just take them over. If others borrow them, you tell them to wait. As for why, just say that I need them urgently.”

After listening to Professor Gao's instructions, Xiao Liu immediately went to the library.Southern Institute of Technology is a leading university of science and technology in the School of Mathematics. The library will naturally subscribe to several of the four major mathematics journals. After all, many professors or graduate students are in need.The library here had just signed for the five newly arrived "Annual Journal of Mathematics", and Xiao Liu came over and said that Professor Gao wanted to borrow these magazines.Originally, according to the rules, the books could only be borrowed after they were stored in the library, but who is Professor Gao?Although he is only the dean of the School of Mathematics, his reputation is much higher than that of the principal.

So the staff responsible for the storage immediately put the magazine into Xiao Liu's hands with a smile, and said, "Professor Gao will take a look at it first. If there is anything wrong, I will explain it here."

Professor Gao took the "Annual of Mathematics" from Xiaoliu, and they really published Sun Ping's paper as a key paper, and the largest font on the cover except the title of the magazine was the title of Sun Ping's paper.Professor Gao looked at the page number of the thesis, tsk tsk, it was almost thirty pages.The number of pages in this top-level publication represents the value of your thesis. Generally, a dozen or so pages are considered key papers, and up to [-] pages are considered epoch-making key papers.However, Sun Ping's thesis is worth this number of pages, and if there are not so many pages, some people may not understand it.

Professor Gao went directly to the principal's office with five magazines, and the vice-principal happened to be there too.The principal and vice-principal of the Aurora University are two different positions. The principal is generally an academic leader and also serves as the chairman of the degree committee of the school; the vice-principal is generally engaged in administrative work and does not hold teaching or research positions.

"I'm talking about Lao Zhang, what happened to what I told you last time?" Professor Gao put the "Annual of Mathematics" on the principal's desk, "Sun Ping's paper was approved by the "Annual of Mathematics". They published a paper of nearly [-] pages. Do you know the status of "Annual Journal of Mathematics"? If anyone publishes a paper here, then basically the mathematics departments of most universities in the country will retain him as a teacher , so don't question Sun Ping's academic ability.

Besides, what about the Bachelor of Arts?Who stipulated that a Bachelor of Arts cannot be transferred to Science?So I said, give him a doctorate quickly, and then I will recruit him to our School of Mathematics.Lao Zhang, let me make it clear to you, this kid may not come to teach, but I reckon that his name will be placed in our mathematics school, at least no one will dare to smash our brand in the next 30 years. "

"Old Gao, if you just want an honorary degree, I have no problem with it. For the value and status of this paper, I think I should give him an honorary doctorate. But what you want is a doctorate now Ah!" The principal smiled wryly, "Don't you know the requirements for a doctorate degree? Not only does he have to pass the tests related to the doctorate degree, but he also has to submit a doctoral dissertation. Of course, the dissertation is available now, but his test scores What? Do you think a Ph.D. is a Chinese cabbage?”

"That's okay." Professor Gao waved his hand and said, "I will directly recruit him as my doctoral student for this thesis. With Sun Ping's talent, I guess it will be no problem to finish all the subjects within one year. Just tell me." , will you give me a degree?"

"Special recruitment? Yes, he really won't come in without special recruitment. According to the regulations of our school's unified doctoral admissions guidelines, you must have a master's degree in the corresponding subject and pass the school's admissions examination before you can enroll." The principal continued to smile wryly.With a wave of Professor Gao's hand, Sun Ping not only does not need to study for a master's degree first, but even the entrance examination is exempted. "Okay, anyway, it's your doctoral student, so you can recruit if you want. But I have a request, he doesn't come to occupy the scholarship."

"No problem." Professor Gao picked up the magazine and left, "I heard that my student is a millionaire, not short of money!"

When Professor Gao returned to the office, he called Sun Ping and told him about the doctorate.Sun Ping was naturally happy when he heard that he could be specially recruited for a Ph.D.Moreover, Professor Gao also said that he would directly arrange for him to take the subject examinations at the end of the year, pass as many subjects as he can, and strive to finish his doctorate within one year.Unlike the Earth plane, Cathay only requires public subjects for a bachelor's degree (undergraduate), and after master's and doctoral degrees, only professional subject tests and papers are required.However, the general graduate students will still minor in several related disciplines according to actual needs.So if it's just for the doctorate, there are actually not many doctoral subject tests. If Sun Ping works hard, he can really pass them all at once.

At the same time, news about the solution of the Poincaré conjecture spread throughout the mathematical community with the publication of the Annals of Mathematics.At first everyone thought it was a misunderstanding, and the new paper just pushed the Poincaré conjecture one step forward, but they didn't expect that this paper actually solved the whole conjecture.And what convinced most mathematicians is that Sun Ping's proof process was written in great detail.

Therefore, a week later, the International Mathematical Union officially announced that "the Poincaré conjecture was officially proved by Sun Ping of Aurora, and one of the seven major mathematical problems has been reduced."

After the news was announced, the news media of Cathay Kingdom was the first to explode.Although there are a lot of news in the scientific circles of Cathay, there are really not many news about basic science, not to mention that these are the seven major problems in the mathematics world!So everyone began to ask, who is this young mathematician Sun Ping?
