Forty-six, Mount Liangshan
Although Xu Shengzhou’s ears were a little red and hot, he had no doubt that someone was talking about him behind his back because he was having a red-faced argument with the designers of Perkins & Will Architectural Design Office.
Is the design by Perkins&Will Architects beautiful?
Beautiful.
Very beautiful.
However, Party A’s father just didn’t like it. For example, when Xu Shengzhou saw the design of the student dormitory, he immediately wrote: “The boys’ dormitory and the girls’ dormitory cannot be so close!”
"Why?" The somewhat balding middle-aged French designer was shocked. The two distant student dormitories are his favorite works.
"Distance creates beauty, understand?" Xu Shengzhou said plausibly, "The campus is so vast, we must let lovers in the same class also taste the joy of long-distance love! Only in this way can they realize the sweetness of love and the beauty of reunion.
"Even after graduation, I believe I will be able to endure separation and separation more easily."
When the French designer heard Xu Shengzhou's strange request, his blue-grey eyes widened and he kept crossing himself on his chest: Excuse me, are you speaking human language? Are you doing human affairs?
God, please forgive this sinner!
Only Liu Guangce, who was accompanying him, understood why. The results of students admitted to private colleges are not very good, but many of them are very avant-garde in their thinking. Xu Shengzhou's move was obviously to prevent the slightest change, fearing the enthusiastic and unscrupulous students.
Human lives have been lost. How can those unrestrained Western designers who believe that young people should release their nature anytime and anywhere understand the good intentions of Eastern educators?
Just like money can buy Einstein's manuscripts, Giacometti's sculptures, and Van Gogh's "Portrait of Dr. Gachet". No matter how beautiful the design is, it will eventually succumb to Party A's father's request. That poem is
What do you say? Party A has tortured me thousands of times, and I treat Party A like my first love. One day, I will be Party A, and I will torture all the design institutes in the world.
Who made us the father of Party A now?
Xu Shengzhou not only had to discuss and communicate with designers full of exotic and whimsical ideas, but also spent a lot of time on Heng Ping's topic. Previously, Heng Ping said that the two of them were competing to write the paper first. This was naturally a harmless little joke, but
For more than half a month, Heng Ping spent almost all his time writing the thesis. Even when Xu Shengzhou woke up every morning, he could see the thoughts or questions about the thesis that he sent to him at one or two in the morning. It is not difficult to see from it that he wanted to write the thesis as soon as possible.
Eagerness to conclude.
Xu Shengzhou had also heard about the huge assessment pressure faced by "Green Pepper". Although Hengping never disclosed his situation, he absolutely could not hold him back! The best way to help him was to write a paper to help him.
He lends a helping hand. Because in the mathematics world, all papers published in regular SCI journals that are jointly completed are generally sorted alphabetically by last name, without distinguishing between one author and two authors, and it is assumed that both people contribute equally.
Here, I can tell you an interesting story about ranking in mathematics.
Ahlfors was the winner of the first Fields Medal (1936) and won the Wolf Prize in Mathematics in 1981. He is one of the nine people to have won the two highest prizes in mathematics so far. Beurling
Two years older, he is also a mathematical genius. He and Alfors are both from Scandinavia. The two have formed a deep friendship as early as their youth and have published many papers together. According to academic practice, Alfors
Si's "A" comes first, and Beilein's "B" comes last.
Once, Bellin came to a very good conclusion, but he was not satisfied yet. In the words of the famous Gallic mathematician Malliavin, who had collaborated with Bellin for many years, every time Bellin got a result, he always
It will take a while, and it will not be published until "elementary and transparent" proof is found. But through academic exchanges, everyone gradually knows about this matter. People in the industry know that Mr. Bellin has an awkward personality and is sensitive.
Suspicious, he asked his collaborator Alfors. Alfors may have published this paper out of academic considerations, and ranked Beilin first and himself last.
Unexpectedly, when Beilin learned about it, he became furious and cut off relations with Alfors directly. The cooperation between the two was suspended. It was not until more than thirty years later, when both of them were old, that they "smiled over each other and forgot their grudges."
.
——Of course, the ranking is actually irrelevant. The main reason is that Beilin is a perfectionist and is very reluctant to expose his immature papers to the public, especially when he is not aware of it. What is particularly important to say is,
The paper that Bellin was not satisfied with was published in "Acta. Math.", one of the four major journals.
Is it true that men cry silently while women cry?
Having said that, this time I tried to prove the decomposition theorem of generalized theta function space of arbitrary rank. It was also the first time that Xu Shengzhou wrote an academic paper independently without using the answers given by the system. He finally realized the huge difference between driving with navigation and without navigation. Countless.
Many times while eating hot pot and singing songs, I ran into a dead end and could never get out. Countless times I faced a fork in the road, not knowing whether to turn left, right or go straight, which wasted a lot of time.
Fortunately, he had points. Whenever he walked a certain distance and didn't know whether the general direction was correct, he would use his "junior extraordinary academic vision" to scan it a few times. This verification method was much more reliable than tossing a coin.
Thanks to this, his progress was not inferior to that of Heng Ping, and this feeling of jumping from side to side, sometimes awesome and sometimes terrible, also made him addicted. Gradually, he realized the pain of doing scientific research, and also found the joy of doing scientific research.
.
Just when he and Hengping were working hard to move forward, Zhang Anping led Mr. Cheng to visit.
Xu Shengzhou, who occupied the magpie's nest, quickly stood up and was about to bring tea and pour water. Mr. Cheng sat down on the fabric sofa and stopped the busy Xu Shengzhou: "Come here, come here, no need to pour water. I am just idle and bored, wandering around.
Stop by to see how you are doing? After all, I am still your nominal instructor."
Xu Shengzhou conveniently took a few bottles of mineral water and placed them in front of the two of them: "Thank you, Teacher Cheng, for your concern. I've been doing well recently."
"What stage of review did your paper that was submitted to "Ann. Math." go through?" Zhang Anping was very concerned about this issue.
“I was just Awaiting Reviewer Scores a few days ago, and I don’t know how long it will take for the comments to be returned.”
Zhang Anping breathed a sigh of relief: "If the paper can pass the editor-in-chief and be sent to the reviewers, it is already half successful. You must know that more than half of the submissions are rejected at this stage. Don't worry, now
No news is good news!"
Mr. Cheng asked: "What are you busy with recently?"
"In addition to attending classes, I just participated in teacher Hengping's school-level project and learned something along the way."
"Anything gained?"
"Yes! Through study, I have a deeper understanding of vector bundle theory, and I am currently trying to prove the decomposition theorem of generalized theta function spaces of arbitrary ranks. Please give me some advice when the time comes!"
Mr. Cheng waved his hand: "I don't know as much about algebraic geometry as you do. What can you give me? 'Master leads me in, and practice is personal.' With your current level, you should have surpassed many Ph.D.s in algebraic geometry.
"Sir, now that you have reached such a deep level, you have to explore your own path in the future, and you no longer need to ask for advice on everything. If you study probability theory, maybe I can give you some pointers."
Before Xu Shengzhou could think of what to say, Zhang Anping took over the conversation: "Teacher, you don't know this, right? In fact, Xiao Xu also has a lot of research on probability theory."
"Oh? Is there such a thing?" Mr. Cheng's eyebrows twitched a few times.
"I only learned about it recently. A few days ago, I received an invitation from Professor Hou Baisui of Beijing University of Science and Technology to participate in the doctoral thesis defense of his student. Professor Hou Baisui's students are studying Markov chains.
In the "Acknowledgments" of the doctoral thesis that I sent, I was surprised to find that it used a lot of space and very sincere language to express my strong gratitude and admiration for Xiao Xu's guidance. If it weren't for the school, the department would be worthy of it.
, I thought they had the same name and surname!"
Mr. Cheng looked at Xu Shengzhou playfully: "I didn't expect that you are also a doctoral advisor."
Xu Shengzhou was a little confused. Unexpectedly, the good deeds he did unintentionally were not written in his diary, but were written in the acknowledgments by others. It was really caught off guard!
Zhang Anping said: "Since Xiao Xu also has a foundation in probability theory, I have an idea. As we all know, our school's mathematics is most famous for the two directions of probability theory and mathematics education, and enjoys a high reputation throughout the country; Teacher Cheng
He is also mainly engaged in research in probability theory and related fields. He is a well-known academician in the field of probability theory in our country. You were in our school and followed Teacher Cheng, but you ended up studying as a graduate student in algebraic geometry. Isn’t that fair?"
Mr. Cheng smacked his lips: "Well..."
"Xiao Xu's level in algebraic geometry is undoubted. Once the paper submitted to "Ann. Math." is published, early graduation is imminent. But his qualifications and talents are so great that he does not want to get a doctorate and continue to engage in scientific research.
What a pity! But our school is relatively weak in the direction of algebraic geometry. Only teacher Heng Ping is of good quality, but he has not been appointed as a doctoral supervisor, so he cannot guide graduate students."
Mr. Cheng agreed very much: "Xiao Xu is indeed very powerful. Even if we look around the country, there are not many people who can be his mentor in algebraic geometry!"
"That's right! So, why bother looking for something far away? Why not study for a doctorate in probability theory with Teacher Cheng? I just don't know what the two of you think?"
Mr. Cheng seemed to be a little moved: "I have no problem. I have accepted Xiao Xu as a graduate student before, why can't I accept him as a doctoral student again? If you want to study for a Ph.D. with me, it's still the same agreement to publish an article on the 'Four Big'."
Just graduate early. I just don’t know what you think, Xiao Xu?”
Chapter completed!
