As for those foreign contestants, they couldn't help but cast envious and admiring glances at Lin Xiao. He was able to talk to the Fields Medal winner and even received praise from the Fields Medal winner.
Including at the end, Professor Pompieri actually invited Lin Xiao to the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton. In the eyes of these foreign students, this was simply a great honor, especially for them, who are mathematics enthusiasts.
In the American team not far away, the team leader looked back at his six team members. Four of the six American team members had Chinese faces, and they looked at Lin Xiao with eyes full of envy.
The team leader reminded: "You don't have to be envious. If you do well in the competition in the next two days tomorrow and get the gold medal, you can also go directly to Princeton University and meet various Fields Medal winners.
, after you get your master's degree or PhD, with the IMO gold medal, you will have a good chance of becoming a Fields Medal winner."
Hearing the leader's words, the six students all nodded, but no matter what, they were still envious.
Even if you get the IMO gold medal, you still have to apply. When the time comes, it still depends on whether the Fields Medal boss agrees. And look at that Chinese student, Professor Pompieri came to him on his own initiative.
There is also the International Congress of Mathematicians, which invites people to give reports. What is the International Congress of Mathematicians?
That's a place where big guys gather. It's such a glorious thing to be able to give a report in a place like that.
One contestant couldn't help but ask: "Professor Dais, have you ever given a report at the International Congress of Mathematicians?"
Their leader, Professor Dais, had a stiff face and said, "Don't ask so many questions, just watch the opening ceremony."
The player rolled his eyes. It seemed that their team leader didn't have this ability either.
Of course, it's not just the players on the US team who are envious of Lin Xiao, some other national teams are also envious, and their team leaders encourage them by saying that as long as they win the IMO gold medal, they can choose any university in the world.
But no matter what, they, the team leaders, kept their players calm, but in fact they envied Lin Xiao in their hearts for being able to give a report at the International Congress of Mathematicians.
It's a pity that envy cannot come.
…
Lin Xiao sat back in his seat under the gazes of those around him.
"Lin Shen, drink some water. You just talked so much, you must be thirsty, right?"
Sun Yu directly handed over a bottle of water and said enthusiastically.
"Holy shit, Lin Shen, why is your English so bad?! What did you just say to that big guy?"
"Lin Shen, how did you learn English?"
Several people looked shocked. Lin Xiao was actually able to talk to a foreigner in English just now, and it seemed that the conversation was about mathematics, which surprised them.
As for what they were talking about, they didn't know, otherwise they definitely wouldn't have asked. Wasn't that someone who was just doing nothing and deliberately looking for a blow?
After hearing the questions from these guys, Lin Xiao thought about it and it seemed like this.
When he was talking to Pompieri just now, he spoke very naturally in English, and he could fully understand Pompieri's words.
Even if he can understand those mathematical nouns, this is related to his recent special study. After all, sometimes he reads foreign papers because they are downloaded as PDF files and it is troublesome to translate them into Chinese. He basically just reads them directly.
The original English version.
Reading English papers has also improved his English level. Coupled with his brain development, there will be no problem in English conversation.
Of course, "I just speak English, no big deal."
Lin Xiao waved his hand and didn't care. English was just a tool, and Chinese was his mother tongue.
Even though you know eight languages, you still have to speak Chinese dialect when you finally speak to your relatives?
When they heard Lin Xiao's words, Sun Yu and others rolled their eyes.
That's what they say, but they can't speak English well enough.
Just like this IMO, since it is an international competition, the papers they will use for the exam will actually be in Chinese, including the questions. Only after the exam is completed, will the main examination committee review them.
The test papers are translated into English and then provided to the test paper marking team for correction.
After all, it is a competition named Olympics, and what it emphasizes is the Olympic spirit. If contestants from some countries cannot even understand the questions due to language barriers, this is obviously unfair.
"Then what did you and this big guy talk about?"
Let’s not talk about English matters for now. Sun Yu simply asked: “I just searched and found out that this big guy is the winner of the Fields Medal in 1974. Fields Medal, he’s one of the best.”
"Oh, he said that I helped him solve a regret, so he came to me specifically to express his gratitude."
"What? You don't even know him, how come you help him solve his regrets?"
Lin Xiao briefly explained the reason: "It's my paper. He has studied this problem before, but he didn't solve it. Now I have solved it, and my method..."
Sun Yu and others: "..."
"It's like saying that even the Fields Medal winners didn't have the direction to do it, but you did it?"
"Shen Lin, tell me the truth. If you go to the International Congress of Mathematicians this year, are they going to award you the Fields Medal?"
Lin Xiao laughed: "What are you guessing? That question of mine is not worthy of the Fields Medal."
"Lin Shen is humble."
Lin Xiao rolled his eyes, "Okay, stop talking and watch the opening ceremony. The opening ceremony has started."
When the other people saw this, they stopped talking and watched the opening ceremony.
The opening ceremony was just like that. First, the IMO chairman and guests came to the stage to speak, and then there were performances and so on.
Lin Xiao was not interested in these things, so he thought about how to proceed with the next few steps if he used the method of modular formalism.
"I have to change the form again, otherwise I won't be able to express those cases."
Lin Xiao recalled the inspirations that came to his mind when he was chatting with Professor Pompieri just now. The inspiration must be grasped, otherwise, it will be fleeting.
In this way, time passed slowly, and Lin Xiao was completely immersed in his brainstorming, forgetting about the opening ceremony in front of him.
Although his research on modular formal theory is not in-depth, he is still able to reinterpret some theories in modular formal theory based on the impressions in his mind, thereby continuing to broaden his thinking.
It wasn't until I didn't know how long it took that the opening ceremony was over. Lin Xiao was pushed by Sun Yu next to him, and then he came to his senses and returned to the hotel together.
The exam will officially start at 9:30 tomorrow morning, and when they return to the hotel, it is already 8:00 pm, and it is almost time to rest.
However, Lin Xiao was not worried about the competition tomorrow morning. He returned to his room and read papers related to modular formal theory to expand his knowledge and see if he could apply it to his own research.
In this way, he didn't go to bed until twelve o'clock in the evening.
