"Basically, these are the questions. You can go back and correct it before submitting it."
In Lin Yao's office, after reading Li Mu's translated paper, Lin Yao once again pointed out some problems to him, but in fact there were basically not many problems.
He didn't expect that this student could even translate so well, and his application of English put even his professor, who has published a lot of foreign language journals, to shame.
"Thank you Professor Lin."
Li Mu said gratefully.
"There's nothing to thank you for. You're a student. If you have any questions, go to the teacher." Lin Yao smiled, "And maybe, in a few years, we won't be able to help you with your problems."
Wu Mengyuan also nodded in agreement.
For such a talented student, perhaps it is not too much to consider his future.
"Okay, I won't say much more about this. The journal will select the ones I told you about at the beginning, rational mechanics and analytical archives. There are basically not many other issues."
"As for whether you can pass this problem, you don't have to worry. Considering the quality of your paper, it will be very easy to pass the manuscript. I have submitted to that journal before, but the speed of review may be an issue. Of course, there is no need to rush for this kind of thing. After all, it is your first time to publish a paper. In the future, when you publish more papers and gain status in our academic community, the review speed will become faster, and..."
Listening to Professor Lin's tireless explanation, Li Mu nodded, feeling even more grateful.
Although he is very powerful now, he doesn't know much about things in these industries. He needs predecessors like Professor Lin Yao to pass on his experience.
In this way, under Lin Yao's explanation, Li Mu also had a certain understanding of the process of publishing a paper.
"If we adopt the OA model, will I have to pay thousands of dollars in fees?"
When he heard Lin Yao talk about the paper publishing model, Li Mu was shocked when he heard that this OA model required him to spend thousands of dollars. Good guy, not only did he have no money to publish his paper, he even had to pay for it. ?
It costs thousands of dollars to sell him for not that much money!
"That's what the OA model is." Lin Yao said with a smile: "After all, this is an open download for the world, which is very helpful for the dissemination and citations of your paper."
The OA model is an open access model. The main feature is that it is completely free and anyone can see their papers for free.
Since journals under this model cannot make money through subscriptions, they often charge very high fees to authors.
"But if you don't want to choose this model, just choose the traditional subscription model. If you adopt the subscription model, the journal may still give you a hundred US dollars in manuscript fees."
"One hundred dollars for the manuscript?"
Upon hearing the news, Li Mu suddenly felt like hearing the sounds of nature.
One hundred US dollars, but it is equivalent to more than 600 yuan.
His monthly living expenses are only 1,500.
However, seeing his happy look, Lin Yao and Wu Mengyuan both laughed.
He is still a money addict.
But this is not difficult to understand. After all, Li Mu is still a student.
"Okay, okay, don't be happy about the $100. The hidden value that your paper will bring to you after it is published cannot be measured by this $100."
Li Mu chuckled, everyone understands this simple truth, but the royalties are real money in hand!
"Okay, let's stop talking about this matter first. Next, we will talk to you about our topic. After you go back, you can make good preparations for the research on this topic."
Li Mu nodded, and then listened quietly.
First of all, there is huge good news. Their project is funded by the National Natural Science Foundation of China, with a budget of less than 500,000 yuan, and they are studying basic theoretical subjects, which hardly cost much. So, Professor Lin Yao first He gave Li Mu a salary of three thousand a month.
This is of course great good news for Li Mu. Not only can he study, but he can also make money. Isn't this the student life he once dreamed of?
After being happy for a while, Lin Yao formally told him about their project.
"What we study is the convection-reaction-diffusion system. I wonder if you have heard of this thing. In short, this is a major research hotspot in applied mathematics. It can be used not only to study physics, but also to study chemistry. For example, gas-solid reaction, or tumor cell growth trends in biology, or even population transmission issues."
"All in all, it's an interesting direction."
"The purpose of our project is to solve the bilinear optimal control problem of the system."
“What we want to control is mainly the velocity field in the convection term.”
"Of course, this problem is difficult, mainly because the state variables depend nonlinearly on the control variables..."
As Lin Yao told it, Li Mu gradually listened.
Undoubtedly, this research is a new direction for him.
However, this did not prevent him from being interested in it.
With the help of his brain's computer, he now has a natural interest in these difficult questions.
In this way, while listening to the professor's explanation, he could occasionally even ask some key questions, which made the two professors look at him even more highly.
In the office, Lin Yao's graduate students all looked at each other silently.
Even if they didn't understand what the two professors said, why couldn't they understand some of the things that the freshman uttered from time to time?
What does nested CG method mean?
What do the finite difference method and finite element method of time discretization mean?
But when they think about what happened just now, they feel that this thing is not the most outrageous.
The most outrageous thing is that Li Mu just came here and solved the problem that the two professors had been discussing for so long.
This made them even think in their hearts. Could it be that Li Mu was rushing to get the professor to help him read his paper before taking action?
Until finally, the graduate students all looked back.
Then sighed.
These graduate students from Shanghai Jiao Tong University are all scumbags in front of this freshman.
…
Li Mu stayed in Lin Yao's office for a long time that day. When he left the office, it was time to have dinner.
But obviously, this day was also a fruitful day for him. The paper was basically finished, and he also participated in the project of two professors and solved a task.
And the rest of the time is used to continue studying!
Look at the time, there is still one night left today.
Ever since, Li Mu visited the library again with a cheerful smile.
