Chapter 25 The day to wait

The shadow of the tree of man, as Princeton's mathematics professor and the winner of the Fields Medal, Professor Gowles's email name is almost engraved in the hearts of every top mathematics journal editor.

Lambert ignored the prescribed order of review and opened Professor Gowers' email and read, "A Method for Solving Partial Differential Equations"? Has Professor Gowers begun to change his research direction?"

With the development of modern science, scientists in several fields such as the classical science period are becoming increasingly rare. Most people can make a little progress in the branch of a branch under a discipline... It is a period worth celebrating. Professor Gowles' research fields are mainly functional analysis and combinatorial mathematics. The reason why he won the Fields Medal was the contribution made in the Banach space using the method of combinatorial mathematics. That's why Lambert asked this question.

After trying hard to spell out Lu Qiujian's name, Lambert saw that the author was not Professor Goles but his student, so he lowered his expectations for this paper a few points. After all, the master and the master's disciple are different.

But since I opened it, let's finish reading it. Lambertra looked at the article and found that it was not very long. As the review editor of the Mathematics Annual, Lambert may not be as in the depth of his research on mathematics as those professors, but his broader knowledge is far beyond them. He soon discovered the value from the article.

"If this derivation process is proven to be correct, then it will have a significant impact on the partial differential study!" Lambert took a sip of coffee and said to himself, "So who should I send this article to?"

From the perspective of editors, we can only find whether an article is of pronouncement value. For more professional reviewers, we can only ask those reviewers who have in-depth research in the field to which the paper belongs.

Of course, it is a bit too early to send the paper to professional manuscript review editors now. In order to avoid omissions, the Mathematics Annual Journal adopts a multi-person review model. Whether it is passed or rejected, more than two editors need to review the paper. They will not be sent to professional manuscript review editors until they are sure there is no problem.

Reviewing the review editor, reviewing the manuscript by professional reviewers, even if all these are passed, it does not mean that your paper can be published, because the most important mathematicians around the world will contribute to it, and the number of pages in the Mathematics Annual is only so many. What if the editor just decides to publish your article and receives a breakthrough paper from Professor Wiles or Professor Chen Shengshen?

So if a magazine like "Mathematics Annual" is fast enough to publish it within three months after receiving your submission!

Lu Qiujian also understood this. Fortunately, the Mathematics Annual is a magazine run by Princetons. He can get news in advance whether through or rejected the article or through the channels of several professors.

So after handing over the paper to Professor Gowers, Lu Qiujian put this matter aside and returned to his previous life. He shuttled through classrooms every day during the day to receive the teachings of world-leading mathematicians. When he was free, he went to the library to read related works, and wrote the accumulated problems in his notebook. When he was in class, he would ask the masters who had in-depth research on the fields to which these problems belonged.

Fortunately, Princeton professors did not put on airs and would answer Lu Qiujian's questions in detail. Moreover, Lu Qiujian's questions were asked just right, and they were all very cutting-edge questions in these fields. Through chatting, they would find that Lu Qiujian also had an in-depth understanding of these fields. This answer not only solved Lu Qiujian's questions, but also inspired their own research.

Soon, the name of the exchange student Lu, who loves to ask questions, spread in Princeton's mathematics department. At the beginning, whenever he asked a question, there were always a few students around him. However, as time went by, fewer and fewer students were around him, because if you can't even understand the problem, what's the point of persisting?

"Lu, how are you reading my thesis?" Alfoss came over and asked.

"I have some ideas. When I finish my training, I will think about it. I will send the results to your email address next week!" In fact, Lu Qiujian has already done it, but in the past two days, someone has helped to take up a seat in the library, help buy drinks, and help download various cutting-edge papers. He wants to enjoy such a few more days.

"Yeah! It's great!" Alfos was busy for so long and finally got an accurate answer. Seeing that the paper was expected to be published, he jumped up happily.

But it is depressed in a flash. It is said that when others are puzzled by a research question, the top mathematician will intuitively discover the path forward. This intuition has great value and will reduce your time to take detours.

But you can't always rely on this intuition, because it can't always provide you with this guidance. Once he leaves you, this assistance system will disappear, and your research will return to the slow speed before. It's like a person who is used to driving a Ferrari sports car and returns to the tractor driver's seat. This contrast will make people doubt their scientific research life.

"Ah, am I really not suitable to take this road?" Alfos fell into suspicion as he looked at Lu Qiujian's distant figure.

Of course, the Tigers players did not have this feeling, because they had long known that they had no future in basketball, and they were not like those black people from slums, and they had no other way but basketball. Being able to enter Princeton means they had broad prospects.

So as Lu Qiujian's football skills mature day by day, they not only did not be jealous, but instead gave them sincere praise, "Lu, you will definitely lead us to the semi-finals this year!"

"Spencer, if you shoot more decisively, we can even make it to the top 32!" Lu Qiujian gave him encouragement in time. Basketball is a sport of five people. Every time you make up for a shortcoming, you can survive in the knockout stage for a little longer.

"Man, just watch it down there! The great Patrice will play the little white-faced man of the Manhattan Gems!" Looking at Lu Qiujian sitting on the bench, Patrice proudly bulged his biceps.

The cunning coach Thompson used the excuse of Lu Qiujian as a secret weapon to press him to the bench during the warm-up match, hoping to wait until the official game to attack Harvard opponents, and caught them off guard.
