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

Chapter 114 You have great connections, now they are mine! (23)

Chen Dayue annotated some points that could be expanded on Xu Qingshan's paper, making this history of mathematics paper more like a large-scale review.

While he was making comments, he was thinking about which journal he should submit Xu Qingshan's paper to.

"Hey, Aoyama."

Chen Dayue picked up his phone and called Xu Qingshan.

"Teacher Chen."

Xu Qingshan had just finished practicing bodyweight fitness at home.

He has now advanced to the seventh and eighth forms of the Six Arts of Prisoner Conditioning. When he reaches the tenth form, he will need to consider finding other training methods.

Moreover, bodyweight training is to make yourself have a healthier, stronger and more explosive body.

With such a physique, many things can be achieved, and Xu Qingshan also has the idea of ​​trying various sports, martial arts, and dance.

However, he still wanted to build a good physical foundation before trying it.

After taking a shower, Xu Qingshan was shirtless. Even in late winter, he didn't feel cold.

With one hand he was holding a towel and wiping the water droplets that had not yet dried off his upper body, while at the other hand he was holding his cell phone and talking to Chen Dayue.

Xu Qingshan was full of masculine charm at this time.

His body was as flawless as a classical sculpture, and every muscle seemed to be carefully sculpted.

His abdominal and pectoral muscles are like neatly arranged chocolate slabs, full of strength and vitality. His arm and leg muscles are smooth and full of tension, and his whole body exudes an air of confidence and determination.

Although he doesn't have the muscular body of a fitness fanatic, or the kind of thin muscles that are trained to the point of being brushed, Xu Qingshan's thin muscles at this moment are most in line with the public's aesthetic taste in terms of visual effect.

Unfortunately, no one can see this kind of scene.

Xu Qingshan was still communicating seriously with Chen Dayue on the phone.

Finally, this beautiful body was hidden under the blue and white striped pajamas.

"Okay, I'll listen to the teacher. I can do whatever the teacher asks me to do."

Xu Qingshan listened to Chen Dayue’s detailed introduction to the journal.

Chen Dayue prefers to guide Xu Qingshan to revise this paper to be more complete and in-depth. After enhancing the depth, he is optimistic that this paper can be submitted to "Probability Theory and Related Fields"/"Probability Theory and Related Fields", abbreviated as "PROBAB THEORY REL", abbreviated as PTR.

"I, Old Chen, am also quite famous in the field of international statistics and probability theory. You may not be able to imagine the connections I have."

"As for PTR, I am very familiar with Fabio, one of the editorial reviewers of the PTR. When I was doing my doctorate at UCLA, I attended an academic conference and got to know Fabio at that time."

Chen Dayue began to brag to Xu Qingshan about his influence and academic connections.

Xu Qingshan listened very carefully and responded from time to time to express his approval and admiration.

The academic world.

Before you reach the top, who says there are no human relationships here?
People like Xu Qingshan, who come from the society, know exactly what these people in the academic world want.

Should I say it?

Xu Qingshan felt that some of them, like Chen Dayue, were sometimes relatively pure.

What they pursue is happiness and pleasure from the field they study.

"Qingshan, you have never been exposed to journals, so you may not understand the level of this PTR. This is not an ordinary journal."

"PTR is an academic journal specializing in statistics and probability theory published by SPRINGER HEIDELBERG. As you can tell from the name, any research results, practice, or study in the field of statistics and probability theory can be submitted, but the standards are actually quite high."

"From its founding in 1962 to the present, it has always been at the world-class level, with its impact factor and SJR index always being above 2, its H index always being high, and it has also been selected into SCI."

“Don’t be fooled by the fact that the impact factor is only 2. There are many university teachers in China who can only publish in journals with a domestic impact factor of less than 1.”

Chen Dayue was afraid that Xu Qingshan would think that he was not paying enough attention to his affairs.

"Teacher, it's okay. What you can arrange for me is definitely the best I can get at this stage, and..."

Xu Qingshan's voice was very sincere, and there was not a trace of false flattery in it.

"I feel that without the teacher's great help, my article would probably have been published in a domestic journal at best, right? I am still taking advantage of the status of the teacher's disciple."

Xu Qingshan's attitude is very humble.

But what made Chen Dayue most relieved and happy was that Xu Qingshan's words and deeds revealed his recognition of his identity as his disciple. Did he accept it completely?

My Department of Probability and Statistics is finally going to turn the tables and take control!
Chen Dayue was ecstatic.

"Don't worry! Qingshan, the teacher has already annotated every part for you. When the time comes, remember not to write me as the corresponding author. The teacher will just list me as the corresponding author. You should keep this paper for your own use."

"Teacher, you don't need these external things to prove your ability now, but for you, an independent first-authored article in a top SCI journal will be a good start for your academic career."

Chen Dayue also began to tell Xu Qingshan what kind of academic and social paths he would arrange for Xu Qingshan next.

"It's just that we are academics after all. Socializing is secondary. What's more important is our academic level. So you must not give up on learning other probability theory courses."

After Chen Dayue finished the conversation, he spoke to Xu Qingshan in a serious tone.

"Well, I understand, teacher."

"The core competitiveness of upward social networking is its own strength level. Only by doing your job well can you have a real foundation for upward social networking."

Xu Qingshan replied calmly. He was not necessarily worse than Chen Dayue in this kind of life philosophy.

"Very good! The teacher is looking forward to your learning results!"

"Remember to follow the comments I gave you and then rewrite the article in English. I remember that your English foundation is not bad. You must remember to rewrite it. If it is a pure translation, there will be loopholes and defects in the text expression. Do you understand?"

"Got it. Thank you, teacher. You have worked hard."

Facing Chen Dayue's patient guidance, Xu Qingshan always listened attentively.

Although there are a lot of things, Chen Dayue has already said it several times before.

But Xu Qingshan did not show any impatience.

"Okay, come on, do a good job!"

Chen Dayue was even more excited than Xu Qingshan.

hang up the phone.

Xu Qingshan let out a breath.

It seems that my understanding and talent will still be useful in the next stage, and it seems that they are more fully demonstrated than in high school.

Actually, this is not without reason.

With the improvement of his memory, comprehension and understanding, Xu Qingshan still needs to use examination skills and learning methods to incorporate the entire breadth of learning into his own knowledge system when facing the exam-oriented education in high school.

Just like to build the entire knowledge framework, what is needed is repetitive basic work and a solid foundation.

But when entering university, or when starting to engage in academic research.

What he needs to learn is a branch of the huge tree of knowledge, or even a seedling on this branch, which is an in-depth study of a point.

In this scenario, specialized research can better demonstrate a person's intelligence and academic talents.

As for why many scientists in history are multi-disciplinary experts, including Xu Qingshan’s future development path should also be towards becoming a multi-disciplinary expert.

This is because their intelligence and academic talents can help them quickly master a niche subject in a short period of time, and then devote their time to other subjects.

They have a solid grasp of the basics of each major field and can find the commonalities between the subjects, so they can naturally master them faster.

So whether you want to be a specialist or a generalist.

You all need to first find your main area of ​​business and delve into it.

For many doctoral students, their doctoral dissertations are not actually written in the field they like or are best at, but in the field of their supervisor, so that it is easier to provide guidance.

Therefore, many doctoral students who are committed to academic development apply for teaching positions after graduation.

Schools and universities will pay close attention to whether the topics and research directions chosen by these doctoral students after graduation are a complete continuation of their previous topics and research directions.

It is best to have a direction that you have a deep understanding of, but not to stray too far from your original subject foundation.

Xu Qingshan doesn't need to think that far for the time being.

He had no intention of staying at Kyoto University to teach.

That is the choice of mortals.

As for the resources and connections mentioned by Chen Dayue.

Well, it's very good indeed.

But from now on, everything will belong to me, Xu Qingshan!

Who says that students at Kyoto University can only have one teacher? And who says that students at Kyoto University can only study for one degree?
As long as you get enough credits, pass all the exams, and complete the thesis, can Peking University still not issue you a degree certificate?
If you don’t want to send it, then don’t send it. There are many schools that are willing to send it to Xu Qingshan.

Xu Qingshan put the towel he had used to wipe the paper on the edge of the chair and sat down at the table. He continued to use the computer to receive the revision suggestions sent by Chen Dayue, and created another document to write the English version of the paper.

And this time he also downloaded LaTeX.

In fact, it was ready last night.

He stayed up all night last night to finish this paper. He spent a long time writing it in Word, but found that LaTeX was more convenient. He went to Huaqing’s Shuimu Forum to find posts and finished it. He also configured the environment files, and finally he had the excellent paper that Chen Dayue saw.

Talk and talk.

It turns out that mathematicians cannot do without LaTeX when writing papers.

of course.

If Chen Dayue knew that this was a paper written by Xu Qingshan after he taught himself LaTeX operations and techniques in one night, he probably wouldn't be too surprised.

His current psychological threshold has also been raised quite high by Xu Qingshan.

As long as Xu Qingshan is not here to solve some conjecture or reform some Markov chain, Chen Dayue feels that he can accept it calmly.

It's normal for a genius to do outrageous things.

Did Gauss come up with the "Gaussian formula" in just one night and have it become the cornerstone of high school mathematics?
Compared with Gauss, Xu Qingshan is still a lot weaker.

Of course, Chen Dayue didn't realize that when he started comparing Xu Qingshan with this king of mathematics, Xu Qingshan had already won too many times.

It turns out that typing on the train can make you motion sick. My head is so dizzy, but I can still write 10,000 words a day. I’m so awesome!
