When Zhou Wu heard Xu Ji's question, he sighed in his heart. Looking at this situation, there is really no problem with this paper.
Otherwise, Xu Ji would not directly say that he would accept him as his student. This is obviously because he is very optimistic about him.
And considering Xu Ji's qualifications and the fact that he will soon be elected as an academician and become his student, the benefits will of course be even greater.
However, Xu Ji is probably going to be disappointed now. The student who wrote this paper has not yet become a student at their school. By then, he will have to study for four years as an undergraduate before reaching the graduate level... Of course, this is not excluded.
Lin Xiao directly skipped a grade, but no matter what, even if he becomes Xu Ji's student, it will take several years, unless Xu Ji directly accepts this undergraduate as his student.
Thinking of this, Zhou Wu couldn't help but laugh.
Xu Ji looked at him and didn't reply. Instead, he laughed and asked, "Why are you laughing?"
Zhou Wudao: "Professor Xu, first guess what grade this Lin Xiao is in?"
When Xu Ji saw Zhou Wu, he was still showing off. He couldn't help but lean on the back of his chair and said, "Senior year? Junior year? Or sophomore year?"
Zhou Wudu shook his head.
Xu Ji was really surprised now, "Not even a sophomore? A freshman? Didn't the freshman only last one semester? Is there such a powerful person in this class?"
Hearing what Xu Ji said, Zhou Wu laughed again. Of course, he did not continue to show off, and said directly: "This student is a quasi-freshman. In other words, he is about to become our freshman, but
I haven't enrolled in school yet, and I'm still in my third year of high school."
"What?"
Xu Ji was not surprised this time, but in disbelief.
"A senior high school student? He solved this kind of problem? Are you kidding me?!"
"Professor Xu, how could I lie to you? I just saw this paper this morning. I had the same reaction as you, I couldn't believe it at all."
After getting the expected reaction, Zhou Wu said with a smile: "This Lin Xiao was the first place in the high school mathematics Olympiad last year. He is expected to participate in the IMO competition this year. He is really talented in terms of talent. Now he can write this kind of
The paper also shows that he is far more than what he showed in that kind of competition. I guess it is time for our School of Mathematics at Peking University and our country of China to have another great mathematician who will leave his name in history."
Xu Ji did not refute what Zhou Wu said. He achieved such an astonishing achievement while still in his third year of high school. This completely shows that this student's talent has surpassed those of ordinary geniuses.
And only with this talent could he have the opportunity to become a great mathematician.
However, it still depends on its future development. If this student can concentrate on mathematical research and become a great mathematician, it is not impossible.
"Young people are terrible." Xu Ji sighed again, and then said: "Then he is still a senior in high school, how did you know that he would come to our school?"
"Oh, because he is the number one CMO, he is recommended."
"That's right, I understand." Xu Ji nodded: "When he comes to school in the second half of this year, remember to notify me."
Zhou Wu nodded, then remembered what Lin Xiao said, and said: "Oh, by the way, Professor Xu, this Lin Xiao wants to send the paper to the "Annals of Mathematics" AMS, and wants to do a quick review to avoid waiting in line.
We have been on the team for months, do you think you have any connections in this area?"
"Quick review." Xu Ji thought for a while and said, "Yes, I have a friend from Princeton University who is familiar with AMS. I can just contact him when the time comes."
"Thank you very much. I will reply to Lin Xiao now."
Zhou Wu thanked him, and also felt that these big guys had a wide network of contacts and could easily find a friend to help.
"Well, go ahead." Xu Ji nodded. Although he really wanted to accept Lin as his student, he was still a high school student and could only wait for him to come to college first.
Zhou Wu went out quickly, and Xu Ji took out his phone and was about to call his friends at Princeton University, but then he noticed that his graduate students were all looking at him with curiosity and surprise.
He couldn't help but laugh and said: "What are you looking at? Have you completed the task assigned to you?"
That classmate Xiao Zhou couldn't help but said: "Professor, is that person really still in his third year of high school?"
"You, Director Zhou, haven't told you everything, how can you still be lying?"
These mathematics graduate students from Beijing University couldn't help but take a breath of air in their hearts.
If the mathematics annual journal is published in the third year of high school, do we still need people like them to live?
Thank God if they can publish in the first section. After graduation, two articles in domestic core journals or important international journals, and probably the second section will be enough. In the third year of high school, they published an article in a TOP journal, and it was one of the four major journals.
Damn it, I can't even envy you.
At this time, Xiao Liang asked again: "Then how difficult is the problem he... solved?"
"Difficulty? Do you think Goldbach's conjecture is difficult?"
Xiaoliang swallowed, nodded and said: "It's difficult."
"That's right. Although this is not as troublesome as Goldbach's conjecture, it is at least an unsolved problem in number theory. You will know what it was like when you were studying number theory."
Several graduate students immediately thought about their performance when studying number theory, and then they felt that they were hit even deeper.
At one time, they thought that number theory was very simple, since they all studied integers after all. But later, after the professor gave them a few number theory questions, they gave up and continued to study number theory.
The deeper this thing is, the less it is played by humans.
Looking at the expressions of several students, Xu Ji shook his head with a smile and was too lazy to say anything more. He dialed the phone and contacted the friend.
…
On the other side, after Zhou Wu returned to his office, he first checked Lin Xiao's English version of the paper and compared it with the submission requirements on the official website of "Annals of Mathematics". After confirming that there were no problems, he called Lin Xiao directly.
Already.
"Classmate Lin Xiao, your paper is definitely fine. Now you can submit it directly to the Annual Journal of Mathematics. Do you know how to submit it?"
"Thank you for your hard work, Professor Zhou!" Lin Xiao thanked him, and then said: "I know that the electronic version will be sent directly to their mailbox, right?"
"Well, that's the case, then there's no problem." Zhou Wu said with a smile, "As for the review issue, you can rest assured, our Professor Xu Ji here will contact you over there, and you
The results of this paper are very outstanding, and other mathematics journals will definitely be eager to publish your paper."
"Thank you Professor Zhou!"
"Haha, you're welcome. By the way, do you know what Professor Xu Ji just said?" Probably because of Lin Xiao's talent, Zhou Wu was interested in chatting with Lin Xiao.
Lin Xiao was stunned for a moment: "What did you say?"
"He thought you were an undergraduate in our major and said he wanted to accept you as a student."
