Chapter 55 Sending Journals

"Ah...Professor Xu Ji?"

Hearing Zhou Wu's words, Lin Xiao couldn't help but be stunned.

Zhou Wu said with a smile: "Professor Xu Ji is the face of our mathematics department. If he is willing to take you, it will be very good for you. Of course, you don't have to think so much now. Take care of your high school education." Once the stage is over, you can think about it again when you go to college."

"Yes, I understand." Lin Xiao responded.

Afterwards, he chatted with Zhou Wu for a few words and then hung up the phone. Lin Xiao became curious about the professor named Xu Ji, so he searched online and saw his long list of honors and social positions. .

Not to mention the outstanding young people of the Yangtze River Scholars, Du Niang has to use several tables to list them.

"Big brother."

I sighed in my heart, such an awesome boss said that he would accept me as his student, could I expand a little bit?

"Well, let's go eat a delicious meal today as a reward."

With this thought in mind, Lin Xiao couldn't help but look forward to what she would eat later.

Of course, before that, he had to send the paper.

I logged in to my KouKou email, and then directly sent both the Chinese and English versions of the paper to me.

This is the mailbox for receiving papers from the Annual Journal of Mathematics. Friends who are interested can give it a try.

Since we are only reviewing the content of the article first, there are not many requirements for the text, and the PDF files sent are sent instead of the source files.

After the journal editorial office accepts the submission, the next work will be carried out.

These were all things Lin Xiao had read after going to the official website.

After sending the paper, he couldn't help but look forward to it.

After my paper is published, will Peking University have to give me more scholarships?

At least it should be worth one million. Didn’t that classmate Liu get a one million reward back then?

However, this is a bit confusing, after all, I have not yet entered Beijing University.

Of course, considering that I joined Beijing University as a person who had independently published papers in the four major mathematics journals, I heard that with my level, I could usually be a professor at any school in the country. Then maybe the reward is not just one million?

Lin Xiao couldn't help but have beautiful fantasies about the future.

Make money, not shabby.

Although he has ideals and beliefs in his heart, as long as he does not violate his ideals and beliefs, man is an economic animal. Of course, he cannot let go of the opportunity to make money.

After fantasizing for a while, he didn't forget to send the good news to Xu Hongbing.

In any case, they were worried that the teaching style of Beijing University was not upright and they would steal papers, but they were just a villain and judged a gentleman.

Of course, after all, there is a saying that it is necessary to be on guard against others, and you still have to guard against what should be guarded against, especially since his paper is of such great value that it can easily earn a person great honors.

Now it seems that the result is finally good.

Soon, Xu Hongbing also sent him good news, and he was waiting for it to pass the review and then be published.

"Well, let's go eat now."

Lin Xiao looked at the time. It was twelve o'clock at noon, and his parents were still at work, so he could only go out to eat.

As for cooking for himself, it's not that he can't do it. It's no problem to make fried rice or noodles, but the key is that there are no leftovers at home. Fried rice that is not overnight rice has no internal flavor, and noodles Not full.

In the past few days, Lin Xiao found that his appetite was much larger than before and he was eating more meals. He estimated that this was because of the body-strengthening function brought by the health capsule.

As the body becomes stronger, the energy consumption increases, and naturally, the appetite also increases. At the same time, because Lin Xiao's brain is highly developed and he often thinks about problems, this also consumes more energy.

All in all, Lin Xiao's appetite now is much higher than before.

Fortunately, he doesn't have to worry about gaining weight.

He is the kind of person who never gets fat no matter how much he eats.

So without further words, he left the house.

…

Time passed quickly.

Princeton University, Department of Mathematics Building, Fine-Hall.

As a world-famous university, Princeton University has produced more than 60 Nobel Prize winners, 15 Fields Medalists, 14 Turing Award winners, etc.

There is no mathematics prize among the Nobel Prizes, but the Fields Medal is known as the Nobel Prize in mathematics.

Moreover, the Fields Medal is awarded every four years and imposes age restrictions on the winners. Only mathematicians aged 40 and under who have made outstanding achievements in a certain field of mathematics can receive the award. Therefore, the difficulty of getting the Fields Medal is no less difficult than that of the Nobel Prize.

But it also shows how strong Princeton University is in mathematics, having produced fifteen Fields Medal winners.

In addition to teaching, it is also the headquarters of the "Annals of Mathematics", one of the four top journals in mathematics.

The editor of the Annals of Mathematics also works here.

At this time, an editor named David was looking through their submission mailbox, looking for a certain submitted paper.

But after searching back and forth for a while, he still couldn't find it. He couldn't help but cursed: "Oh my God, these people are crazy. Can't they check whether their papers are qualified to be published in the Annual Journal of Mathematics?"

Every day they receive a dozen or even dozens of papers, but after filtering out the nonsense among them, two or three really valuable papers are considered good. However, even if there are two or three good papers, There is no guarantee that it will be included by them. They only publish about sixty or seventy articles a year.

For example, in the January issue of the journal this year, there was a paper called "Gopakumar-Vafa Formula for Sympleic Manifolds", but it was sent to them in 2013. It took a year or two to patch it up, and another year to wait in line. Finally, it was finally Published successfully.

However, who made them the "Annals of Mathematics"?

No matter how outstanding your paper is, as long as it is not outstanding enough to shock the editors or reviewers, then just wait quietly in line.

As for what David is looking for now, it is a paper that Peter Sarnak, a professor in their mathematics department, entrusted him to help review in advance. This paper seems to be quite powerful. The title is Prove that there is infinity in the Fibonacci sequence. Multiple prime numbers.

As the editor of the Annual Journal of Mathematics and a researcher in the Department of Mathematics at Princeton University, he is quite interested in this kind of number theory paper.

Probably all mathematicians in the world have tried to study prime number problems. After all, most of these problems are quite simple and clear from the expression point of view, and are full of mathematical beauty, such as Goldbach's conjecture.

However, it has stumped countless mathematicians, causing many people to finally give up.

Even if we study Lie groups, symplectic geometry, and Hilbert spaces, won't we get more results than this thing?

Of course, they also admire those big guys who have achieved results on prime numbers.

So David is now very curious about which big guy has completed the proof of this problem.
