"I guess it's the certification process sent by Minke again. This is already the number of emails."
Seeing the new email notification, Xu Yun suddenly remembered some bad memories from last month, so much so that he had no desire to check it.
As his story of proving Hodge's conjecture was reported, it greatly stimulated the research passion of those in the civil sciences.
They all think that they can also prove the world's mathematical problems.
Under the wave, number theory, which seems simple and has no threshold, has become a hot topic among hot topics.
He received no less than five copies of the proof process of the Riemann Hypothesis alone.
Both parties claimed that they had proved the Riemann Hypothesis.
I remember that when he first received the first email, he was more or less deeply shocked.
I wonder if this is the legendary master among the people.
For this reason, he did not dare to neglect at all, and carefully looked at the proof process with excitement and expectation.
After all, if this argument is really successful, given the popularity of the Riemann Hypothesis in the global mathematics community, it may have a greater impact than him.
Although I don’t know why the other party did not submit it to the journal and instead sent it to the email address of Jingzhou University, since the other party is willing to ask him for advice, there is no reason to refuse.
But after seeing the so-called proof process, he looked very dumbfounded and his expression froze.
Because the whole process can only be described as being out of context, let alone proving the Riemann Hypothesis, a difficult mathematical problem in the world, he couldn't even find a place to evaluate it.
It's like a composition written by a primary school student.
It's a waste of his time.
After that, he read several other similar emails, and the situation was basically the same.
Someone even discussed the issue of controllable nuclear fusion with him in an email, which completely confused him.
Later, after the report, the number of overseas professors who actually consulted on Hodge's conjecture gradually decreased, so he returned the use of the email address to the school for relevant personnel to handle.
As for his email address, he only told a small number of professors and scholars who came to attend the lecture.
His thoughts stayed here, and he suddenly realized something, and his eyes instantly returned to the email.
etc.
Now it seems to be my own email address on the computer.
After thinking that the school's official email had been returned, he opened the email without hesitation and started checking it.
The first thing that catches the eye is the English content, but the sender is no stranger to him.
"It's actually Professor Griffith. Does he have a new question you want to discuss with me?"
As a professor at the Clay Mathematics Institute, Griffith spends most of his time on mathematics every day besides lecturing.
When you discover any new problems or methods, it is normal to send him emails to communicate with him.
Furthermore, when the other party invited him to attend the International Congress of Mathematicians, he mentioned that he would write to him frequently.
But when Xu Yun settled down to read the content of the email, he found that the situation seemed to be quite different from what he had guessed.
It turns out that Professor Griffith was not communicating with him about mathematical problems, but inviting him to serve as a judge for the International Mathematical Modeling Competition next month.
According to the explanation in the email, in addition to being a professor and lecturer at the Clay Institute of Mathematics, Griffith also serves as a director of the Federation of Mathematics and Applications.
The idea came to him as the federation is hosting next month's International Mathematical Modeling Competition.
Now looking at the entire mathematical community, it is undoubtedly proved that Xu Yun is the most popular one as suspected by Hodge.
He is the most discussed figure in the world of mathematics.
Relying on this status, you are not only qualified to serve as a judge of the organizing committee, but also increase the influence of this competition.
Xu Yun read the entire email and basically understood Griffith's intention to invite him to be a judge.
Thinking that he was still in the dormitory in the afternoon discussing whether to participate in the competition, he didn't expect that he would be directly promoted to a judge in the evening.
"Now you don't have to worry about it at all. It's okay for a student to become a teacher."
After closing the email page, Xu Yun couldn't help but murmur softly.
However, there is a problem in front of us.
That is whether to agree or not.
As an international mathematical modeling competition, more than 10,000 teams register to participate every year.
The pressure on the organizing committee is undoubtedly high.
Fortunately, according to the selection process, domestic selections are made first, and those submitted to the international organizing committee are the competition for the grand prize.
And he was invited to be the judge for the special prize selection, and he did not need to see many problem-solving processes.
Academia is not about fighting and killing. While concentrating on research, it is still inseparable from the world's sophistication.
Since it has no impact on me, it would be too disrespectful to refuse directly.
At next year's International Congress of Mathematicians, he is still waiting for the Clay Institute of Mathematics to award him the million US dollars.
What's more, unlike Perelman, he is willing to be a mathematical hermit who has no contact with the outside world.
After thinking about this clearly, he opened the email writing page again and began to write a reply in English.
Zhou Qi, who was coming out of the bathroom at this time, passed by Xu Yun and glanced at the content on the screen. He was very confused and asked subconsciously.
"Xu Yun."
"Does your graduation thesis have to be in English?"
He thought Xu Yun was finally going to start writing his graduation thesis, but the page turned out to be entirely in English.
Thinking that graduation thesis basically only requires an English abstract, I couldn't help but ask.
When Xu Yun heard this, he didn't hide anything and answered truthfully.
"I'm not writing a paper. I'm replying to an email from Professor Griffiths of the Clay Mathematics Institute. He invited me to serve as a judge for the International Mathematical Modeling Competition next month."
"What did you say?"
"Being a judge of the competition?"
When Zhou Qi heard this answer, he opened his mouth with two words of exclamation, and a question mark instantly appeared in his mind.
Haven't turned a corner yet.
He expressed regret that Xu Yun gave up the competition next month because the country had lost another opportunity to win a double championship.
But he never expected that in just a few hours, Xu Yun's identity would change from a contestant to a judge.
The change is really big.
It can only be said that in a certain sense, Xu Yun has indeed participated in next month's International Mathematical Modeling Competition, but as a judge.
The conversation between the two quickly attracted the attention of Qian Yudong and Zhao Yuefeng, and both of them expressed curiosity.
"What competition judges?"
"Xu Yun has been invited to be a judge for the International Mathematical Modeling Competition next month." Zhou Qi turned around and explained to the two of them, then calmed down and looked at Xu Yun again and asked: "Then what about our group's paper? Will they also go to your mailbox for review and selection?"
"Theoretically, that's the case." Xu Yun nodded.
As soon as he finished speaking, he added: "But the premise is that you must stand out from the domestic competition first."
"We will try our best." Zhou Qi replied confidently.
After finishing the short conversation, Xu Yun re-wrote the email, treating this as an episode.
The selection of the special prize is the responsibility of the organizing committee. He is only equivalent to one of the members of the organizing committee and cannot directly determine the award. Whether the domestic team can win the special prize still depends on its own strength.
On the other hand, Qian Yudong and Zhao Yuefeng seemed very excited and were still discussing the matter.
"Others were participating in the competition, but Xu Yun directly became a judge. This is too difficult to survive."
"It's my brother Yun who will take the lead."
"I wonder how the domestic participating teams will react when the list of the organizing committee is announced?"
There was always a smile on his face when he spoke, and he was even happier than being a judge himself.
Soon Xu Yun wrote the email and clicked to send it. In the email, he first expressed his gratitude to Professor Griffith for the invitation and looked forward to the two meeting again at the International Congress of Mathematicians next year. Finally, he agreed to serve as an organizing committee member of this competition. Special Prize Judge.
After finishing this matter, Xu Yun opened the office software and started making courseware.
According to the arrangement of the department, he will have a two-hour open class tomorrow, and the reservations are very popular.
When he first received the notice from Dean Qin, his first reaction was to refuse.
I thought that as an undergraduate who had not yet officially graduated, I was not qualified to teach public courses.
As a result, Qin Xiang Xinfei said that it was the request of the students in the department, and said that he would bring the teachers from the department to watch. At this point, it was impossible to refuse, so he had no choice but to agree and said that he would prepare lessons carefully.
Since the students who signed up to attend the lecture this time were mainly undergraduates, even Zhou Qi and others in the dormitory signed up.
So algebraic geometry is definitely not suitable for teaching.
After careful consideration, he decided to make the content of this open class related to abstract algebra.
Although he has learned abstract algebra very well, after all, he is giving lectures to so many students, so he must pay great attention to it and cannot tolerate carelessness.
Otherwise, it would be misleading.
He didn't want anything to go wrong in his first public class in his life.
For this reason, he specially produced this courseware today.
Speechless all night.
The next day.
In the morning after the holiday, Xu Yun, Zhou Qi, Qian Yudong and Zhao Yuefeng went to the classroom where the open class was held.
It's just that he was there to give a lecture, and Zhou Qi and the others were just listening.
Since the open class started at ten in the morning, I successfully avoided getting up early.
Otherwise, Qian Yudong, who has not recovered from his vacation, may not be able to get up to attend this open class.
But even though Xu Yun had arrived at the classroom early, he was still frightened when he saw the situation in the classroom.
Standing at the door and looking inside, the huge classroom was already packed with people. Except for three people squeezed into two seats, even the walls of the aisle were full of people.
"Zhou Cao, there are too many people here, right?"
"Xu Yun's popularity is simply unmatched. There is no other teacher in the entire school with such popularity."
"Let's find an empty place to stay first." Listening to Qian Yudong and Zhao Yuefeng's sighs, Zhou Qi put forward a constructive suggestion.
At the rate people continue to come, if we don't find a seat quickly, we'll have no choice but to lie outside by the window.
And just when Zhou Qi and the others left and Xu Yun stepped onto the podium, deafening cheers suddenly erupted in the classroom.
If the class next door hears it, those who don’t know may think it’s some celebrity coming to hold a concert.
"Xu Shen is here."
"It's hard to find the opportunity to listen to the world's prover of mathematical problems."
"I have to shake hands with Xu Shen later and protect me from failing the exam at the end of the semester."
"I'll just print out the photo and hang it on the wall. From now on, let alone failing the exam, I won't even hang it."
…
