From all-round academic master to chief scientist

Chapter 104 A true master always maintains the heart of an apprentice

In addition, each Mathematicians Conference basically only arranges 21 people, and the conference is held every four years. On average, there are only five or six people each year. Therefore, a one-hour report is important for everyone. For mathematicians, it is a great honor.

Just look at how many Chinese mathematicians can get such invitations.

After all calculations, there are only seven mathematicians, and among them there is only one mathematician, Mr. Peng Shige, working full-time in mainland China.

Now, although Lin Xiao's one-hour report is different from the normally invited one-hour speaker, it is exactly the same in form.

Take another look at his face that still has a bit of a boyish temperament. These mathematicians, the youngest of whom are all in their thirties, are suddenly filled with envy and jealousy.

Lin Xiao was also surprised. He didn't expect to make such an adjustment to his report?

He felt a little flattered. He was already prepared to condense the content of the 45-minute report, such as making some steps easy to pass.

However, now that it has been extended for such a long time, there is relatively more time.

He smiled and said: "I have no other requirements, that's it. Thank you to the organizing committee and the International Mathematical Union for the arrangement."

"Thank you for your understanding."

Emmanuel Canero nodded, and then looked at the other reporters, who still had the expressions of "I don't care about Sister Li" at this time.

Emmanuel Carneiro smiled and then explained: "Several other speakers may be confused as to why Mr. Lin Xiao's report is arranged in this way. In fact, it is because Mr. Lin Xiao's report solved a well-known problem in our mathematics community. The problem is the distribution of Mersenne prime numbers."

After hearing Emmanuel Canelo's explanation, the reporters, who originally had expressions of incomprehension on their faces, suddenly became astonished.

What is the distribution pattern of Mersenne prime numbers?

Can this problem really be solved?

"The manuscript has been approved by a total of five professors including Professor Peter Sarnac, Professor Pierre Deligne, Professor Enrique Pompieri, etc. It just so happens that I have also done research in the field of number theory. , so I must admit that this is obviously an extremely important achievement for the mathematics community."

"If the speakers are interested, I recommend you to take a look when the time comes. Oh, by the way, we have uploaded Mr. Lin Xiao's report to the official website, and it is now available for download in the special lecture column. Everyone can Saw it."

At this time, the expressions of several speakers changed from astonishment to disbelief. Have so many well-known professors in the mathematics world recognized this achievement?

They couldn't help but look at Lin Xiao and his young face.

Generally speaking, if young people of this age had made such an achievement, their noses would have been raised to the sky. But they didn't see anything on Lin Xiao's face. Even after Lin Xiao felt their gazes, , and smiled politely at them, his attitude was very humble, and there was no hint of complacency at all.

They couldn't help but admire it.

A true master always has the heart of a disciple.

Lin Xiao may not be called a master yet, but if he can maintain such an attitude, his name will probably one day be engraved on the pyramid of mathematics for the admiration of everyone in the future.

And only those who are so young but able to remain humble can achieve such an achievement, and they are willing to admire them from the bottom of their hearts.

"I'll take a look when I get back." A professor said immediately, and then he gave Lin Xiao a thumbs up.

Several other reporters also nodded towards Lin Xiao, and some even wanted to ask Lin Xiao whether he was currently an undergraduate student, a graduate student, or had already graduated. If he was an undergraduate student, they all wanted to ask Lin Xiao. Xiao wants to wait until after graduation to become his own graduate student.

But then I thought about it, I am afraid that my small place cannot accommodate a student of Lin Xiao's level. The person who can teach Lin Xiao must be at the level of a Fields Medal winner.

And it has to be the kind of person who is particularly awesome in the Fields Medal, the kind who can continue to produce results after winning the Fields Medal. Otherwise, I might not know what to teach Lin Xiao when I teach him.

Emmanuel Canero also felt emotional when he saw the reactions of people who reported these reports.

Strictly speaking, the present speakers all have a higher status in the mathematical community than he does, and he was only assigned because of his status as host.

When he read Lin Xiao's paper, after reading it once, he found that he could not fully understand it. He could only understand it after reading it several times.

Alas, it was really difficult for him to understand how the heads of these mathematical geniuses grew, as if they were equipped with an alien brain.

Shaking his head slightly, he stopped thinking about it and continued to announce other matters of the meeting.

Time passed quickly, and the meeting ended after about twenty minutes.

However, although the meeting ended, the thirteen speakers were not in a hurry to leave, but began to communicate and get to know each other.

The Mathematicians Conference plays such a role. In addition to academic exchanges, it is a place for every mathematician to meet new friends and gather with old friends from all over the world.

Especially since everyone studies number theory, there are more topics to talk about.

Of course, Lin Xiao has also become someone they all strive to get to know.

After all, in their eyes, Lin Xiao has become a rising star in mathematics with an unlimited future. If they can be friends with him, if he becomes awesome in the future, won't they have a friend who can brag to others? ?

Otherwise, why do many people like to say "I have a friend" when chatting.

Lin Xiao naturally got to know these professors. They also asked him what his Facebook or Twitter account was. Unfortunately, he had not registered for these things, so he could only leave his email address as a contact. way.

In this way, after a short exchange, I looked at the time and saw that it was not too early, so we said goodbye and left here.

But after Lin Xiao left the conference room, the staff member who stopped him suddenly shouted to him: "Mr. Lin Xiao!"

Lin Xiao was stunned for a moment, then turned around and glanced: "Excuse me, is there something wrong?"

The staff member said: "Professor Carneiro asked me to tell you that you don't need to worry about whether other participants will not know about your report due to temporary arrangements. Don't worry about this, we will Notify this information to all participants to ensure that every participant is aware of this matter.”
