Great Country Academician

Chapter 78 The Seventeen-Year-Old Genius

On the side, Zhou Hai saw Xu Chuan's doubts, and added with a smile: "You don't know, your senior is my student, and his graduate thesis is a supplement to the asymptotic theorem for non-smooth regions. , the learning goal of the Ph.D. is the Weyl_Berry conjecture."

"Now that you have proved the weak Weyl_Berry conjecture, his graduate thesis and the study goals of his doctoral students have to be reselected."

Hearing this, Cai Peng looked at Xu Chuan even more resentfully.

This is simply too deceitful.

Hearing the explanation, the corner of Xu Chuan's mouth twitched, feeling a little embarrassed.

He didn't expect that his research thesis would kill a senior's graduation thesis and doctoral study goals.

Although he sympathizes with this senior Cai now, the paper has already been published, so he has nothing to do.

Therefore, this senior Cai should choose the topic again, and hope that he will not be affected too much, and the completion will not be delayed.

"Your talent in mathematics is somewhat beyond my imagination. I thought it was just your hobby, but I didn't expect that you actually made achievements in mathematics."

"If I remember correctly, it seems that you have to wait until the end of December in the lunar calendar this year, when it is close to the new year, before you really turn eighteen, right?"

"I have taught dozens of students in the past 20 or 30 years, ranging from college students to doctoral students. But in terms of talent, you have really refreshed my understanding of geniuses in this world."

On the other side, Chen Zhengping, who had been silent all this time, suddenly sighed.

Although he is not from the mathematics world, he also knows the weight of a world-class conjecture.

Not to mention the top mathematical conjectures such as the Riemann conjecture and the Hodge conjecture, but also the weak Weyl_Berry conjecture and the twin prime conjecture, which are at the end of the world-class conjectures. Anyone who proves it can be a mathematics professor at Nantah University.

And it's not the kind of lecturer or associate professor, but the kind of full professor with a staff.

Such an achievement, placed on a freshman, is incredible no matter how you look at it.

In particular, Xu Chuan has not studied mathematics since he was a child. His in-depth study of mathematics seems to have started from participating in the IMO competition in the third year of high school. Before that, although his mathematics scores were good, they were still at the level of ordinary people. within the category.

He did not expect that he would be able to make such a breakthrough in the field of mathematics within a few months of the IMO competition, plus less than one semester in the first half of his freshman year.

This even made Chen Zhengping feel a little bit of illusion and shaken in his heart. Would it be better for him to learn mathematics?

A year of in-depth study can prove a world-class mathematical conjecture. This talent is even more outrageous than cheating.

But immediately, this thought that popped up was thrown out of his mind.

Xu Chuan's mathematical talent is strong, but his physical talent is no worse than mathematics.

Although his achievements in physics are not as high as today's mathematics, they are not low at this age.

A paper that calculates the typical distance between particles of Bose-Einstein condensation phenomenon was published in the same top physics journal "Advances in Physics".

Although the impact factor in SCI ranks in the Q3 area, the important thing is the pioneering method.

There are many talents who can have papers on SCI, but very few can create their own methods.

It seems that there really is a kind of cross-border genius in this world who can freely learn in-depth in all fields, just like Leonardo da Vinci in history.

On the other side, Zhou Hai and Cai Peng who heard Chen Zhengping's words were stunned.

Not yet eighteen.

This sentence made Cai Peng, a senior graduate student, almost pop out of his eyes in shock.

Lying down a big hole, seventeen years old? Did he hear correctly?

Solved a world-class mathematical conjecture at the age of seventeen, what kind of monster is this Nima?

When he was seventeen, he seemed to be still in the second year of high school? It seems that I only go back to my hometown every year to fish in the pond.

But at the age of seventeen, he had already solved the world-class conjecture.

Was hit, was hit deeply.

Hearing Chen Zhengping's exclamation, Xu Chuan smiled shyly and said, "I'll be eighteen in a little more than a month."

Hearing this, Cai Peng didn't want to talk anymore.

He just wanted to curse in his heart: "Minors are prohibited from accessing the Internet. Oh, no, it is minors who are prohibited from pretending to be beta!"

At this moment, the office door was pushed open.

Two old men walked in one after the other.

Xu Chuan looked over, and the old man walking behind seemed familiar to him, but he couldn't remember who it was for a while. As for the old man in front, it was a completely unfamiliar face, but looking at the eyes of these two people, they were all staring at him, as if they were directed at him?

Sure enough, his guess was right. As soon as he entered the door, the old man walking in front saw him and his eyes lit up. He walked up quickly and took his hand and said excitedly:

"This is Xu Chuan, right? I'm Rong Zhizhuan, the dean of our School of Mathematics at Nantah University. I heard that a young genius from our School of Mathematics at Nantah University has proved a world-class conjecture. Seeing him today really deserves his reputation."

"Hey, it's just a moment of inspiration, it's nothing."

Xu Chuan coughed lightly and said modestly.

"It's not good for young people to be too modest. Besides, it's normal for a freshman to prove that a world-class problem freak."

Before Rong Zhizhuan could answer, another old man standing behind with a thin face raised his eyebrows and said.

Xu Chuan glanced at the somewhat familiar old man in surprise, his tone reminded him of who it was, Academician Zhang Gongqing from the Mathematics Department of University of P University, whom he had met in his previous life when he held an exchange meeting in Princeton.

The main research directions are nonlinear analysis, partial differential equations, tensor eigenvalues, and graph theory. He has won famous mathematics awards such as the Science and Technology Progress Award, the Chen Shiingshen Mathematics Award, and the Hua Luogeng Mathematics Award.

"This is Academician Zhang Gongqing from the Academy of Science and Technology. He is communicating with our school these two days."

On the side, Rong Zhizhuan introduced with a smile, and Xu Chuan respectfully greeted him.

Zhang Gongqing smiled, and continued: "A few days ago when I was communicating with Sun Moon University, Zhang Weiping told me that there was an extremely talented student in the mathematics competition last year, and that if he studied mathematics, the next two There must be a Fields Medal in ten years, but it’s a pity that I went to university to study physics, so I think it’s you.”

"Young man is very good. Professor Gowers is full of praise for your thesis. Are you interested in studying mathematics at P University? Your talent should not be wasted on physics."

Xu Chuan smiled awkwardly, saying this as if studying physics is not the right way.

On the other side, Chen Zhengping came over and said unceremoniously:

"There are so many geniuses in P University, but they still come to Nantah University to compete with me for students? Are you embarrassed?"

"And what do you mean this talent shouldn't be wasted on physics? What's the matter? Is learning physics a crooked way?"

He was the only one in the office who said that was appropriate. The two had a good relationship. They were both senior players and academicians of the Academy of Sciences, so no one had to give the other any face.

Zhang Gongqing didn't blush, he smiled and said: "What are you robbing students, this kid's talent in mathematics is much stronger than physics, so it's a perfect fit to learn mathematics."
