Top Student: Wasteland Technology Invasion

In journals with impact factors in the teens or in well-known publications like Nature, Science, and Cell, a single article can earn you a reward of 100,000 yuan.

That truly is a case of "there is a golden house in books."

Unfortunately, the impact factor of mathematics journals is generally low. Even a journal as prestigious as the Acta Mathematica Sinica (Ruiden) has an impact factor of only 4.2, and many Q1 and Q2 mathematics journals have an impact factor of less than 1.

There's no way around it; there are only so many people doing pure mathematical research.

The amount of the school's publication fee subsidy is positively correlated with the impact factor, which means that Lin Chuan's newly published paper may be a money-losing project.

"An inauspicious start."

Lin Chuan couldn't help but complain, but thinking about it carefully, it seemed that he still had to publish the paper.

Firstly, he needs to publish papers to earn interactive rewards and learning coins, which he can then use to unlock skills in the wasteland world.

Secondly, he needs real-world prestige, since the number of SCI publications will be considered when applying for professorships.

We need to find a way to get some money to spend as soon as possible.

……

Today, first-year students from the School of Mathematical Sciences will be attending a large lecture on "Advanced Algebra" here.

On the podium, Associate Professor Qin glanced around at the students and said, "Professor Tang asked me to set aside ten minutes to announce the results of the Qiushi Class test. After I finish explaining the determinant calculation, I'll have Teaching Assistant Li come over and explain it to everyone."

As soon as the words were spoken, the freshmen immediately started discussing it.

Many students recalled their feelings about yesterday's exam, their whole demeanor becoming a mask of pain.

The Qiushi Class has the best educational resources of the School of Mathematics at Yueyang University. The students are worried and curious about who will be able to seize the opportunity and get in.

Some observant students noticed that two people seemed to be missing from the class.

One is Xie Zhixing, a bigwig in the National Academy of Sciences, and the other is Lin Chuan, a student from the Applied Mathematics Class 2 who attracted a crowd after yesterday's entrance exam.

This strange scene led many people to speculate about what had happened.

However, considering that Assistant Professor Li would announce the results soon, the students suppressed their doubts and listened patiently to Associate Professor Qin's lecture.
