Great Country Academician

Ignoring the student who suddenly became excited, Xu Chuan looked down at the list materials.

I have to say that compared to when he was enrolled a few years ago, the Department of Mathematics of Nantah University is much stronger now.

If we say that the Department of Mathematics of Nantah University could only be ranked in the second-tier and middle-lower ranks in the national universities in the past, but now it can be ranked in the first-rate rank.

Both the quality of students and the scale of teachers have grown a lot.

After flipping through the list materials, Xu Chuan picked out eight candidates from the middle and planned to interview these people.

Of course, it was impossible for him to bring so many people. Half of these eight people would eventually be cut off.

After spending some time interviewing each of the eight students, Xu Chuan finally locked four spots.

Two graduate students, two doctoral students.

The best doctoral student among them had already received an offer from the Department of Mathematics of Cambridge University, and published two papers in SCI Zone II, with the highest impact factor of 16+, but after hearing that Xu Chuan was recruiting students, he was decisive. Submit your resume and attend an interview.

Although he has already received the admission notice from the Department of Mathematics of Cambridge University, in comparison, the offer from Cambridge University is not attractive for students who can become the Noffi double award winner + the chief designer of the controllable nuclear fusion project.

Even if the mathematics department of Cambridge University is quite good and can be ranked among the top ten in the world, the fact that the school is good does not mean that the tutors he applied for are also good.

If it weren't for the fact that this big boss only recruits students from Nantah University, he would have no chance of having this opportunity.

After all, there are still many math geniuses in China.

In Nantah University, he can still rank among the best, but in the entire Huaguo, he is much better than him.

If it is extended to the whole world, there is no need to recruit foreign students. Those who go to study abroad, as long as they hear about this opportunity, I am afraid they will have to come back.

It's just that sometimes life is all about luck.

Nantah University, the experimental building of the Department of Mathematics.

Outside an office with the widest view at the end of the corridor on the third floor, three men and one woman, four students came here almost at the same time as if they had made an appointment.

Although that Professor Xu said that they were to come after nine o'clock today, everyone unanimously moved forward by half an hour.

For the four of them, being accepted as a student by this boss is like a pie that fell from the sky. On the first day of class, it is natural to make a good impression in advance.

In the office, Xu Chuan was not there, only Cai Peng was studying in it.

Seeing the four people who knocked on the door and walked in, Cai Peng got up and greeted with a smile: "You are the new students of the tutor, right? The professor told me yesterday. My name is Cai Peng, and I will be your senior brother from now on. gone."

"Hello, big brother."

"Hello Senior Brother Cai."

"."

The four freshmen who had just entered the school greeted each other respectfully, while Cai Peng smiled, obsessed with the voices of his seniors.

After entertaining the four of them to sit down on the sofa, Cai Peng poured them a glass of water and said with a smile, "The professor may have to wait a while to come. You should sit here for a while. I still have hundreds of millions of books to read."

After receiving the four freshmen, he returned to his seat and continued to immerse himself in reading.

In the office, the four freshmen looked at me, I looked at you, and they looked at Cai Peng who was studying, and looked at each other.

"Brother, this is too hard!"

"Is it so demanding to be a professor's student?"

The avenue is simple, and the big beta is sincere.

It has to be said that during the next half an hour waiting for Xu Chuan's arrival, Cai Peng's effort to read and study really shocked the four freshmen.

Although it is said that graduate students and Ph.D. students are admitted, everyone must take their studies seriously. But isn't it a bit too exaggerated to not relax for a moment and concentrate on learning all the time?

If Cai Peng could know what was going on in their hearts, he would definitely roll his eyes fiercely.

Studying six textbooks in three months, if it were you, would you be mad?

He's so ungrateful, he can't even complete the task, okay?

A group of people waited in the office for more than half an hour. At the beginning of nine o'clock, Xu Chuan came to the office on time.

Glancing at the students in the office, he greeted with a smile: "It's pretty early."

"professor."

"Hello Professor."

"."

Seeing Xu Chuan coming, the four freshmen quickly stood up and greeted them cautiously.

To be honest, the four of them don't really know much about their mentor at the end of their academic career.

Of course, if you know each other, you must know each other. After all, you often see it on TV, on school banners, on public notice walls and other places. But their cognition is limited to this.

In the past, watching this big guy through the screen of a mobile phone TV, or on the publicity wall and other places may not feel much, at most he sighed that he was awesome.

However, this will face such a top boss as a student. Even if he has already gone through an interview, the pressure is still overwhelming, which makes people nervous.

Xu Chuan saw the restraint of a few students, but he didn't care. He smiled and said, "Don't be nervous. Since everyone is here, let's introduce each other, and we all know each other."

Among the four students, the oldest doctoral student named Ding Rui was also the one who received an admission offer from the Department of Mathematics of Cambridge University.

This student majored in Applied Mathematics (NTU’s Department of Mathematics was the only major at that time) at the undergraduate level, and studied functional analysis for his master’s degree. Now he is still studying functional analysis as a PhD student.

The second is Tong Yang, who is also a doctoral student. His current major is analytic geometry.

The third place is the only girl among the four, her name is Yin Shi, she is studying in the second year of graduate school, and her results in the postgraduate entrance examination are quite good. It is in the third area of ​​SCI, but it is already quite excellent.

The fourth one is called Rong Xinji, the youngest, only twenty years old, and just entered the first year of research, which belongs to the kind of insurance research. But he won an individual gold medal at the IMO, and he is a very talented player.

Originally, this kind of students usually go directly to Shuimu or Peking University, but this Rong Xinji can be said to be Xu Chuan's fanboy, so he abandoned Shuimu and Peking University and came to Nantong University.

Now it can be regarded as fulfilled, and successfully became Xu Chuan's student.

After introducing each other, Xu Chuan smiled and said, "From today on, you are my students. I will try my best to teach you and pass on the knowledge to you."

"But you also know that because I usually have a lot of my own research and projects, I may not spend too much time teaching you. I told you this during the interview. If you mind, I will I can find a mentor for you again."

Xu Chuan still knew about his own time, so he reiterated it again.

But for these four students, what kind of bicycle do they need if they can apply for this tutor?

Seeing that no one quit, Xu Chuan continued: "Since you have all made your choice, you need to redouble your efforts in the next time."

"No matter what, I don't want to see you wasting your time and talents under my command. So I will check and assess you from time to time."

"Of course, if you encounter any problems in the daily learning process, if you don't understand, you can send me an email or message, and I will reply you in time when I see it. In addition, you can also go to Professor Gu Bing of Mathematics, He was my student before, I believe he can answer some doubts for you."

"As for the daily study, I generally don't make requirements. What books, papers and journals you read in normal times are up to you. But I hope you take your study seriously, which is what determines your own life. A matter of fate."

"As for graduation, I have high requirements for every student. If it is completed independently, at least one top journal paper in SCI Region 1."

"If it is completed in cooperation, I will select some difficult problems for you according to the direction of your study and research, and you can choose one of them to solve."

Hearing this request, the four freshmen gasped almost simultaneously.

The graduation requirement is at least one SCI paper in the first district, which is frighteningly high in domestic colleges and universities.

Even in Princeton, the sacred place of mathematics, there are probably not many students who use this standard as a requirement for their graduation thesis.

The two graduate students may be better, after all, they are all juniors, and it is not very clear what the requirements are for the TOP journals in SCI area one. But the two doctoral students were numb.

Even for Ding Rui, who already holds two SCI District 2 papers, this requirement is not so easy to achieve.

No wonder their elder brother Cai Peng worked so hard.

Perhaps it would be easier to work together to complete the puzzles that the mentor picked?

After briefly telling the freshmen some requirements and standards for their studies, Xu Chuan paused for a moment, and continued: "In addition, regarding your future study direction, I will give you another chance here. You can choose again, or you can choose again. Follow the resume."

"As for the directions and fields that I am good at here, there is an introduction about me on the campus website. You can go and have a look. I will give you a day to think and understand. After choosing a direction, I will choose to post it before tomorrow morning. Just drop by my email."

"Are there any other questions?"

Several freshmen shook their heads and replied, "No more."

In the crowd, Ding Rui originally wanted to ask about the criteria for completing difficult problems in cooperation with graduation, but seeing that the other three said that there was no problem, he didn't ask.

Xu Chuan nodded: "Okay, that's it for today, you should prepare well"

After finishing speaking, he left the office without caring about the students. He still had other things to do today.

After Xu Chuan left, the office became active again.

The four freshmen looked at me, I looked at you, and looked at each other.

This is the end?

In the crowd, Ding Rui thought of something, walked to Cai Peng who was studying, and asked curiously: "Senior Brother Cai, does the tutor have such high requirements for graduation? Is it a bit too exaggerated for a TOP paper in SCI District 1?" gone?"

Cai Peng smiled and said, "Exaggeration? If you know the difficulty of choosing a cooperative solution after graduation, you won't find it difficult to write an SCI paper in the first district."

"What difficulty?" Ding Rui asked curiously.

Cai Peng glanced at him with interest, but didn't answer his question, and asked instead: "You don't want to cooperate to complete the graduation problem, do you?"

Ding Rui nodded and said, "I do have this idea."

"It's really courageous!" Cai Peng applauded, and then said: "I want to ask, do you know that besides me, there are two other graduates, Senior Brother Gu Bing and Senior Sister Amelia?"

Ding Rui nodded and said, "I still know this, do they have any questions?"

"Then do you know what problems they solved to graduate?" Cai Peng asked with a mysterious smile.

"What problem?"

"A world-class mathematical conjecture—the proof of Bloch's conjecture!" Cai Peng replied, "You are a student of functional analysis, so you may not know much about this conjecture, and you have never heard of the name, but you should know about the twin prime number conjecture." Right? It's about as difficult as the twin prime conjecture."

Hearing this, Ding Rui couldn't help swallowing, and asked tremblingly: "Could it be that Senior Brother Gu and the others graduated after solving such a conjecture?"

Cai Peng nodded with a smile, and said, "I'm very optimistic about you, Junior Brother Ding!"

Hearing this, the corners of Ding Rui's mouth twitched.

Hell, cooperation to solve difficult problems, if this is the requirement for graduation, he might never even think about graduating in his life.

The world-class mathematical conjecture is still at the same level as the twin prime number conjecture.

Fortunately, he was still thinking about working together to complete the graduation problem. If he really wanted to choose this path, he had no doubt that he would never graduate.

terrible!
