From small town scholar to chief scientist

Chapter 149 Journal Editorial Board
Zhou Yi and Xiao Wanyi said at the same time:
"we know."

Qiu Chengtong nodded and said:

"I won this big classroom specially for you. I hope this classroom can produce two great mathematicians."

Both of them know what a great mathematician is, and it must be a mathematician no weaker than himself.

"Yes."

Qiu Chengtong said:

"In addition, regarding the question of who is the senior brother and who is the senior sister, Wanyi has to join my sect first, so in terms of the chronological order of entry, Wanyi should be the senior sister. In fact, it doesn't matter much."

Xiao Wanyi nodded, looked at Zhou Yi cutely and said:

"It doesn't matter, I can also be Zhou Shen's junior sister."

Zhou Yi felt that this had no effect, and said:
"It doesn't matter, just do what the teacher said."

Qiu Chengtong said with a straight face:

"I believe you have heard about the big melons of my master's lineage, so I want to make it clear that although it seems nothing to others, in my opinion, my apprentices can't teach well. This is also a test of my ability. doubt."

When the two of them heard Qiu talk about their big melon, they couldn't help being shocked. There must be more melons in it.

The Poincaré conjecture was one of the original seven millennium problems.

It is normal for master and apprentice to turn against each other.

Anyway, it's been passed down.

"That's how it is. Many of my manuscripts were left at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton and Harvard University, but I brought back a lot of manuscripts. I will find them for you in a few days.

But you should consider whether to change your conjecture first. I think it is more reliable to prove Zhou’s conjecture first. Step by step, you can make a lot of achievements. You are still young and have plenty of time. You are 19 years old. No? "

Zhou Yi said:

"It was just full a few days ago."

There was a flash of surprise in Qiu Chengtong's eyes. Don't look at the old man who is usually smiling, but he is actually proud.

Thinking of Zhou Yi's astonishing achievements in classical geometry, he couldn't help admiring himself for being smart and taking Mirno as his apprentice before he did.

"Then think about my suggestion carefully, but if you have to prove the ABC conjecture, it might be much easier to turn around and prove the few number theory conjectures I mentioned. There are advantages and disadvantages, and it depends on your choice."

Qiu Chengtong said lightly.

"Good teacher, I have a measure."

Zhou Yi said with great respect.

Qiu nodded and said:

"Well, that's it. As for the rest of the trivial matters, there should be corresponding counselors who will come to you and explain them clearly to you.

Wanyi, come out with the old man, I have something I want to tell you alone. "

"Ow."

Xiao Wanyi followed Qiu out of the office.

Zhou Yi was left alone in a daze, I don't know what happened.

I am the strongest among your current disciples!
After a while, Xiao Wanyi came back with a determined face. Seeing Zhou Yi's playful smile, Qiu said:
"I've pretty much explained the matter, but there is one more thing, which is Zhou Yi's business."

Zhou Yi looked at Qiu suspiciously, only to see Qiu say:
"It's like this. Didn't you talk about the research direction of Zhou's geometry at the ICCM conference before? I told some friends with me. At that time, the directors of several journals clearly wanted to invite you to be their editorial board member. .”

Zhou Yi was in a daze, asking himself to be an editorial board member?

And this operation.

The so-called editorial board is to help review some papers, just like Zhou Yi's original review editor for the journals in the Netherlands.

As long as it is a paper about the major development of Zhou's geometry, or about classical geometry, it will basically be sent to Zhou Yi, and Zhou Yi will judge whether there is any error in the paper and whether it can be published.

It can be said that he has grasped the lifeblood of most people in this field, especially some masters and doctors. Whether they can graduate or not is a matter of Zhou Yi's words.

"Can I?"

Zhou Yi asked with a hint of doubt and apprehension.

Qiu said with certainty:

"Of course, if you can't do it, then who else can do it, that Ukrainian girl? She can do it too, but they all think that your level of classical geometry is better. You should both be editorial board members of some well-known journals."

Zhou Yi wanted to refuse at first, but he wanted to make Zhou's Geometry a textbook for doctoral students, and it was Qiu who specifically fought for it, so he said:
"Then I'll take it. Thank you teacher for your trouble. Which journals are they?"

Qiu said:
"Several first- and second-tier journals, Bull London Mathematical Society and American Journal of Mathematics, one from England and one from Magnesia, but none of them are paid.

This is what I fought for you specially, it can be regarded as carrying forward the line of geometry. "

These two journals can be regarded as first-class journals.

One is a journal run by the London Mathematical Society, and the other is the Magnesium Journal of Mathematics, which is a top journal.

However, with Qiu's current vision and level, he naturally despises these journals.

Xiao Wanyi on the side has become numb. From the beginning, their respective graduation requirements are different, and now Zhou Yi has become an editorial board member of a top journal.

What is the gap, this is the gap.

But she already looked down on her peers. Among her peers, except for two or three fierce people, she had no rivals.

"Thank you teacher."

Zhou Yi said solemnly.

The thought of disliking trouble just now is gone. With these two journals as a foundation, Zhou Yi can be sure that many people who have in-depth research on Zhou's geometry will choose these two journals for publication.

At that time, my task two will be much easier to do.

Zhou Yi sighed, this is the effect brought by the master of mathematics.

Can ordinary academicians bring this kind of treatment?
Obviously not.

But Qiu can, and so can Professor Milnor.

This is the importance of connections.

"Okay, old man, I've finished talking. If you have any ideas, come to the office to find me at any time. I may be in a meeting when I'm not around. When the time comes, Weixin can leave a message.

As for the basic courses for postgraduates, don’t take them, it’s a waste of time, I will greet your counselors. "

After Qiu finished speaking, he was about to wave his hands and leave, but as if he had thought of something, he turned around and said:
"As your teacher, it's the first day of official enrollment, and I feel that there are some things that need to be said. Don't think that you have made some achievements like someone. Being an academician is the pinnacle of life. His level is not enough. I am 30.00%, and I can call the wind and rain in the domestic mathematics circle;
You can take a longer view. After decades, hundreds of years, or even hundreds of years, there will still be people who study your knowledge. This is success, and this is the real master of mathematics. "

After Qiu left, the atmosphere was a bit awkward, at this moment Xiao Wanyi said:
"Junior, come on! Although there are very few people in this world who can keep pace with you in terms of mathematics talent and level, I will also make my own achievements in mathematics."

Zhou Yi was a little surprised, thinking that she wanted to be an academic Daji, but unexpectedly, she had her own pursuit.

Zhou Yi said:

"come on!"

Xiao Wanyi seemed to have seen through Zhou Yi's thoughts, and said:

"Did you think I would be an academic Daji?"

Zhou Yi said with a guilty conscience:
"No."

"Hmph. I never thought of this. Being able to be accepted as a disciple by Mr. Qiu is due to my own factors besides some family reasons. Among my peers, except for you and Shangjing University Except for Zhao Ruinan, I am basically not as strong as me, so why should I not be worthy of being accepted as a disciple by Teacher Qiu."

Xiao Wanyi bit her lip and said.

Zhou Yi is silent, this is also true, but he is too dazzling, so he covers up all the light of the younger generation.

"Then go back first. You have to study hard starting tomorrow. Let's go back tonight and make a detailed study plan."

Zhou Yi said.

"Ah."

When Zhou Yi returned to his dormitory, he began to think about how to choose.

Do you want to study the ABC conjecture, or turn your head to study other number theory problems that are a little easier?

Of course, graduation is not for the sake of graduation, and world-class conjectures are also divided into three, six, and nine grades. It is very easy to find an easy one, or to demonstrate on the basis of previous research.

Zhou Yi is no longer the poor boy who was too poor to eat, but a new star in the mathematics world. For his own future, and the records in the history books of mathematics, Zhou Yi also had to think more about it.
