Chapter 80 Preparing for the Exam

As for those foreign players, they couldn't help but cast envious and admiring glances at Lin Xiao. They were able to talk to the Fields Medal winner and even received praise from the Fields Medal winner.

Including at the end, Professor Pompieri actually invited Lin Xiao to the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton. In the eyes of these foreign students, it was simply a great honor, especially for them, who are mathematics enthusiasts.

In the American team not far away, the team leader looked back at his six team members. Four of the six American team members had Chinese faces, and they were looking at Lin Xiao with envy.

The team leader reminded: "You don't have to be envious. If you do well in the competition in the next two days tomorrow and get the gold medal, you can also go directly to Princeton University and you will be able to meet various Fields Medal winners. , when you get your master’s or doctoral degree, with the IMO gold medal, you will have a good chance even if you apply to become a Fields Medal winner.”

Hearing the leader's words, the six students nodded, but no matter what, they were still envious.

Even if you get the IMO gold medal, you still have to apply. It will still depend on whether the Fields Medal boss agrees or not. And look at that Chinese student, Professor Pompieri took the initiative to come to him.

There is also the International Congress of Mathematicians, which invites people to give reports. What is the International Congress of Mathematicians?

That's a place where big guys gather. It's such a glorious thing to be able to give a report in a place like that.

One contestant couldn't help but ask: "Professor Dais, have you ever given a report at the International Congress of Mathematicians?"

Their leader, Professor Dais, had a stiff face and said, "Don't ask so many questions, just watch the opening ceremony."

The player rolled his eyes. It seemed that their team leader didn't have this ability either.

Of course, it is not just the players on the US team who are envious of Lin Xiao, but also some other national teams, and their team leaders encourage them by saying that as long as they win the IMO gold medal, they can choose any university in the world.

But no matter what, they, the team leaders, kept their players calm, but in fact they were envious of Lin Xiao being able to give a report at the International Congress of Mathematicians.

It's a pity that envy can't come.

…

Lin Xiao sat back in his seat under the gazes of those around him.

"Lin Shen, drink some water. You said so much just now. You must be thirsty, right?"

Sun Yu directly handed over a bottle of water and said enthusiastically.

"Holy shit, Lin Shen, why is your English so bad?! What did you say to that big guy just now?"

"Lin Shen, how did you learn English?"

Several people looked shocked. Lin Xiao was actually able to talk to a foreigner in English just now, and it seemed that the conversation was about mathematics, which surprised them.

As for what they were talking about, they didn't know, otherwise they definitely wouldn't ask. Wasn't that someone who was just doing nothing and deliberately looking for a blow?

After hearing the questions from these guys, Lin Xiao thought about it and it seemed like this.

When he was talking to Pompieri just now, he spoke very naturally in English, and he could fully understand Pompieri's words.

Even if he can understand those mathematical nouns, this is related to his recent special study. After all, sometimes he reads foreign papers because they are downloaded as PDF files and it is troublesome to translate them into Chinese. He basically just reads them directly. The original English version.

Reading English papers has also improved his English level. Coupled with his brain development, there will be no problem in English conversation.

Of course, "It's just that I can speak English, no big deal."

Lin Xiao waved his hand and didn't care. English was just a tool, and Chinese was his mother tongue.

Even though you know eight languages, you still have to speak Chinese dialect when you finally speak to your loved ones?

After hearing Lin Xiao's words, Sun Yu and others rolled their eyes.

That's what they say, but they can't even speak English that well.

Just like this IMO, since it is an international competition, the papers they will use for the exam will actually be in Chinese, including the questions. After the exam is completed, the main examination committee will use them. The test papers are translated into English and then provided to the test paper marking team for correction.

After all, it is a competition titled as Olympics, and it focuses on the Olympic spirit. If contestants from some countries cannot even understand the questions due to language barriers, this is obviously unfair.

"Then what did you and this big guy talk about?"

Let's not talk about English for now. Sun Yu simply asked: "I just searched and found out that this big guy is the winner of the Fields Medal in 1974. Fields Medal, one of the best."

"Oh, he said that I helped him solve a regret, so he came to me specifically to express his gratitude."

"What? You don't even know him, how come you help him solve his regrets?"

Lin Xiao briefly explained the reason: "It's my paper. He has studied this problem before, but failed to solve it. Now I have solved it, and my method..."

Sun Yu and others: "..."

"It's like saying that even the Fields Medal winners didn't have the direction to do it, but you did it?"

"Shen Lin, tell me the truth. If you go to the International Congress of Mathematicians this year, are they going to award you the Fields Medal?"

Lin Xiao laughed: "What are you guessing? That question of mine is not worthy of the Fields Medal."

"Lin Shen is humble."

Lin Xiao rolled his eyes, "Okay, stop talking and watch the opening ceremony. The opening ceremony has started."

When the other people saw this, they stopped talking and watched the opening ceremony.

The opening ceremony was just like that. First, the IMO chairman and guests came to the stage to speak, and then there were performances and so on.

Lin Xiao was not interested in these things, so he thought about how to proceed in the next few steps if he used the method of modular formalism.

"I have to change the form again, otherwise, I won't be able to express those cases."

Lin Xiao recalled the inspirations that came to his mind when he was chatting with Professor Pompieri just now. The inspiration must be grasped, otherwise it will be fleeting.

In this way, time passed slowly, and Lin Xiao was completely immersed in his brainstorming, forgetting about the opening ceremony in front of him.

Although his research on modular formal theory is not in-depth, he is still able to reinterpret some theories in modular formal theory based on the impressions in his mind, thereby continuing to broaden his thinking.

It wasn't until I didn't know how long it took that the opening ceremony was over. Lin Xiao was pushed by Sun Yu next to him, and then he came to his senses and returned to the hotel together.

The exam officially starts at 9:30 tomorrow morning, and when they return to the hotel, it is already 8:00 pm, and it is almost time to rest.

However, Lin Xiao was not worried about the competition tomorrow morning. He returned to his room and read papers related to modular formal theory to expand his knowledge and see if he could apply it to his own research.

In this way, he didn't go to bed until twelve o'clock in the evening.
