Just turned over a new leaf and became a wise and intelligent student

Chapter 113 There are a few things (13)

Chen Dayue spent the entire afternoon feeling anxious.

For him, not being able to see Xu Qingshan's paper was a torment.

During the afternoon class, he didn't even bother to tell his students things like, "Exams are a tug-of-war between teachers and students over knowledge and wits."

This made Chen Dayue's students feel relieved.

I secretly sighed that the sense of oppression when Director Chen was giving the lecture today was not that strong.

Wait until the get out of class is over.

Chen Dayue rushed out of the classroom as if his house was on fire. Even those students who were in a hurry to get out of class to go out on a date with their girlfriends were not as fast as him.

The first thing Chen Dayue did when he returned to the office was to check his mailbox to see if there was any email from Xu Qingshan.

But no.

He looked up at the clock and realized it.

It's only six o'clock.

Xu Qingshan probably hasn't even returned home from school yet.

Although he was still thinking about the paper on the history of mathematics briefly outlined by Xu Qingshan, Chen Dayue could only run to the cafeteria to get a meal and return to the office to correct students' homework while waiting for Xu Qingshan's paper.

"Ok?"

The email interface on Chen Dayue’s computer refreshed.

【Inbox: 1】

A new email has appeared.

He opened it quickly and saw that the sender was "Xu Qingshan". Without reading anything else, he downloaded the attachment and opened it.

While waiting for the document to slowly open, Chen Dayue suddenly wanted to ask the logistics department to replace the office computer.

It's too slow!

In fact, the value of Xu Qingshan's article may be far inferior to the level of the papers of several doctoral students that Chen Dayue is currently supervising.

But what can we do? He is young and talented!
Chen Dayue felt that he had not been so excited for a long time.

Although he did not have high hopes that Xu Qingshan would be able to write a paper that could be published in SCI just after being exposed to probability theory, he was interested in writing papers as soon as he came into contact with the subject and was able to complete a paper independently without guidance.

And he's still a high school student.

Chen Dayue felt that his move was extremely stable.

I, Chen Dayue, will definitely be able to bring out a top student who will win the Chern Prize and the Hua Luogeng Prize.
Just when Chen Dayue was still sleepwalking.

The spinning circle disappears.

Xu Qingshan's paper refreshes the whole picture.

[The deterministic characteristics of classical probability theory and d'Alembert's mixed mathematical view]

Xu Qingshan had mentioned it on the phone before.

Chen Dayue was not very surprised.

He did not rush to read the content, but quickly browsed through the format and specifications of Xu Qingshan's paper.

"Oh? So standard?"

Xu Qingshan pointed out that the format of the paper is very standard.

Chen Dayue felt that this was even more standardized than some of his graduate students.

"It's interesting."

If Chen Dayue had previously only wanted to use this paper to tap Xu Qingshan's academic potential.

Now he has to examine this article with the attitude he would treat a doctoral student.

At this time, Chen Dayue was not only the director of the Department of Probability and Statistics of the School of Mathematics at Peking University.

He also serves as the executive director of the Chinese Society of Probability and Statistics, a member of the editorial board of the Journal of Applied Mathematics, a member of the sixth editorial board of Applied Probability and Statistics, a member of the fifth editorial board of Systems Science and Mathematics, and an editorial board member of the Beijing University Mathematics Teaching Series.
This also means that Chen Dayue is familiar with the review standards of journals at all levels.

Even if he used the same standards for high-quality academic papers that he had given to Xu Qingshan to measure Xu Qingshan's paper.

Chen Dayue found that there was no difference.

"Hiss, this kid is really good."

Chen Dayue exclaimed, he suddenly felt that Xu Qingshan seemed to have a chance to win the Sloan Research Award and the Davidson Prize.

This kid is a natural academic talent!
You know, many people haven’t figured out the structure and format of their thesis even when they reach the doctoral stage!

If we ignore the fact that Xu Qingshan was a senior high school student who had never received any systematic guidance, then this paper can only be described as beautiful and not bad.

The problem is, this fact can’t be abandoned!
Xu Qingshan is a high school student!

However, it is still within the scope of understanding.

In Chen Dayue's evaluation value system, Xu Qingshan currently still belongs to: having the ability to use basic scientific research tools + unrealized academic research potential.

The former is the professional bottom line for scientific researchers.

The latter is the upper limit for scientific research practitioners.

Chen Dayue scrolled back to the beginning and began to look at Xu Qingshan's article seriously from the perspective and mentality of an editor.

This article is actually not complicated.

Xu Qingshan used concise and fluent language to outline the mathematical history of the origin, development, transformation and foundation of probability theory. Although Xu Qingshan did not use many words, nor was he gorgeous.

But it is real, practical, simple and elegant.

For mathematicians, using the most concise words to describe the most core content allows people to understand their ideas at a glance.

It is an elegant, beautiful, and enviable talent.

The same is true for Chen Dayue.

He felt that his lecture on the mathematical history of probability theory might be richer and more complete in breadth and depth, but in terms of the smooth narration of the main body, he could never achieve the beauty and conciseness of Xu Qingshan.

When writing the history of mathematics.

What troubles mathematicians is the ability to express themselves in language and the ability to write.

Chen Dayue suddenly realized.

Oh shit!

This kid got full marks in both Chinese and English!

In the part on the mathematical history of probability theory, Xu Qingshan zoomed in on the 18th century, an important stage in the development of classical probability theory.

He discussed the progress of probability calculus initiated by Pascal, Huygens and others in the early days. Their idea of ​​probability expectation, which takes expectation rather than probability as the core, became part of the practice of Enlightenment thought, thus leading to the Jansenists' questioning of the value of mathematical belief and de Melle's questioning of the certainty of mathematics and the limitations of its application, which promoted the thinking and reflection of the first generation of probability theory initiators.

This introduced the integration of determinism into probability theory and d'Alembert's questioning and disguised promotion of probability theory to describe that period of history.

The history of mathematics is full of debates and duels.

Mathematicians' passion for mathematics is even worth their lives and their dedication to it in terms of physics.

For example, there was once a mathematician who went to a duel over a disagreement on a proof problem.

Xu Qingshan's concise, fluent, interesting and rigorous writing can immerse even someone like Chen Dayue who knows the mathematical history of probability theory by heart.

Later, relying on this debate in the history of mathematics, Xu Qingshan explained the mathematical changes and axiomatic evolution of classical probability theory until the Markov period, showing the details of each change.

Chen Dayue's eyes were bright.

If he were to review this article blindly from the perspective of an editor, he would probably think that the other party was an old man who had been obsessed with probability theory for many years just like himself.

And he is a very talented writer.

Don't say it.

Although it is not easy for a paper on the history of mathematics to be published in a good SCI journal, in Chen Dayue's opinion, such a beautifully written paper on the history of mathematics can be published in SCI as long as the direction of submission is good.

He originally thought that Xu Qingshan didn't know much about journals, but he didn't expect that he really knew a lot!

Chen Dayue's mood was exactly the same as Ye Xincheng's before.

Xu Qingshan is such a jerk.

Not only is he handsome, he also knows that he is handsome!
The talent exists, the talent is known, the talent is used.

These are all the prerequisites for a great mathematician!
Chen Dayue felt completely satisfied.

What is the Small Field Award?
Directly aiming at the four major awards!
Fields, Wolfe, Abel, WLA!

You should daydream more often. It would be terrible for academics to lose the courage to dream.

Xu Qingshan used a paper to show Chen Dayue what it means to have talent that is overflowing.

Read the whole article.

Chen Dayue felt that Xu Qingshan was fully qualified.

At least when Xu Qingshan graduates from college, if he can submit a mathematical research paper of the same standard as this mathematical history paper, Chen Dayue is willing to help Xu Qingshan get the title of Outstanding Graduate of Beijing.

Xu Qingshan really has a lot of stuff!

Chen Dayue read the paper several times in fascination. He shook his head and put aside some meaningless fantasies.

I began to think about where I should let Xu Qingshan post this article.

He has to be listed as the corresponding author.

He is quite famous in the fields of probability theory and mathematical statistics both at home and abroad. Even in the entire mathematics circle, as a small leader in the School of Mathematics of Peking University, his reputation and fame in the academic world are firmly at the forefront.

Putting aside the academicians in China, he is already considered a big name in the domestic mathematics community.

The authors of a paper are mainly divided into corresponding authors and first authors.

In many cases, the evaluation of paper results is based on the first author, referred to as the "first author".

If not specified, the corresponding author and the first author are assumed to be the same person.

If indicated, the corresponding author is the first person responsible for this article, responsible for checking the entire paper, reviewing the authenticity of the content, the basis for argumentation, etc., and believing that the author has the level to be sent to a certain journal. In fact, to some extent, he is also the core recommender.

However, if there is fraud in the paper, the corresponding author will be the first person responsible.

As for the communication unit.

Although Xu Qingshan had not yet officially enrolled in Peking University at that time, Chen Dayue still preferred to let Xu Qingshan publish the paper as a Peking University student, so that the corresponding unit of the paper would be at Peking University, which would be of certain help to Xu Qingshan's future professional title evaluation.

Yes, Chen Dayue has already started considering Xu Qingshan’s future teaching position at Peking University.

Later, Xu Qingshan became his graduate student, and then stayed in school to teach. He arranged to go out for two years, and then came back to take over as the head of his department. He directly became the head of the Tai Shang Department, and then made arrangements to strive to become an academician.

Wow, what a beautiful dream!

I’m on the train, trying to finish the update as early as possible!
