Xu Yun had originally decided to formally start writing the thesis. Now that he knew that he would have to face so many professors during the defense, the idea of continuing to improve the thesis came to mind.
Determined not to give the jury a chance to find fault, and successfully completed the graduation thesis defense.
His thoughts stayed here before he nodded to show his understanding.
"I understand, Dean, I will finish my graduation thesis as soon as possible and start my graduation defense."
"With your words, I feel relieved."
Qin Xiangxin knew that Xu Yun was always prudent in his work, so he didn't give too many instructions on this matter.
The next second he changed the subject and asked about another matter.
"correct."
"Are you sure you don't want to participate in the US competition next month?"
"In this case, the department will select other people to form a regular army to participate in the competition. We at Peking University cannot be absent from international competitions."
From the bottom of his heart, Qin Xiangxin still hoped that Xu Yun could participate.
Although Xu Yun's proof of Hodge's conjecture has brought great honor and prestige to Jingzhou University, to be able to win the special prize of the International Mathematical Modeling Competition and become the double champion is undoubtedly the icing on the cake and deserves to be highlighted by news media at home and abroad again. Report.
However, he still followed Xu Yun's opinion. If Xu Yun didn't want to participate, he wouldn't force it.
Xu Yun was not surprised that Qin Xiangxin suddenly mentioned this matter. Even Zhou Qi and his team took action. As the dean of the Department of Mathematics, it was impossible for Qin Xiangxin not to pay attention to this matter.
It's a pity that he has already agreed to Professor Griffith to serve as a judge for the special prize of this competition.
It is impossible to lead a group to compete.
He had no intention of hiding this matter and directly told Qin Xiangxin the truth.
"That's right, Dean Qin, Professor Griffith has invited me to serve as a judge for the competition."
"Now even if I want to compete, I can't."
"What?"
"Invite you to be a judge?"
Qin Xiangxin obviously didn't expect Xu Yun to give him such a surprise, and subconsciously shouted a few words.
But soon he thought of something else and quickly asked: "Are they the judges from the domestic competition area or the final judges?"
Because there are so many domestic teams participating every year, under normal circumstances, they are scored domestically first, and then sent to the organizing committee of the Mathematics and Application Federation to finally determine the special prize and other award teams.
If it were just a domestic competition judge, there would be nothing unusual about it.
On the contrary, it will take up a lot of time and is very tiring because you have to check a large number of groups to refine answers and papers.
If this was the case, he would persuade Xu Yun to resign as a judge, even if he stayed in school and continued to write his graduation thesis.
Xu Yun deliberately learned about the selection rules of this competition yesterday, and naturally understood the reason why Qin Xiangxin asked this question.
After hearing it all, he opened his mouth to explain without any hesitation.
"Don't worry, Dean."
"Not many papers from domestic participating teams can get into my mailbox. I am mainly responsible for the selection of special prizes."
"That's no problem. Since Professor Griffith invited you, it's really hard to refuse." Qin Xiangxin heard Xu Yun's answer and nodded to express his affirmation and support.
On the other hand, Tang Yanshan and He Antai looked surprised and had not yet recovered from this incident.
"You didn't want to participate in the competition, and you actually went to be a judge." He Antai quickly realized and couldn't help but laugh and curse.
As the leading teacher of the Higher Education Society Cup, I definitely hope that this team will win the special prize in the international competition.
As a result, Xu Yun suddenly became a judge.
What do you think this is?
"I really don't know how many surprises you have waiting for us. You are really getting more and more unconventional."
"It's also nice to be a judge."
"When the list of the organizing committee is announced, the expressions of some old guys will definitely be very exciting." Qin Xiangxin took over Tang Yanshan's words and said, looking very happy: "I want to go to the imperial capital to see it in person. ”
It is said to be an international competition organized by the Overseas Mathematics and Application Federation, but the preliminary judges for the domestic competition are still professors from various universities.
Only the final judging organizing committee is a member of the Overseas Mathematical Federation.
Now Xu Yun has directly joined the final judging organizing committee, which is equivalent to stabilizing the pressure on those university professors.
When the list was announced and I saw that I was being pushed by a young man who had not yet graduated from a bachelor's degree, it was strange that I felt better.
Xu Yun didn't think about what Qin Xiangxin was thinking, and the matter basically ended here.
After Qin Xiangxin, Tang Yanshan, He Antai and the others left, Xu Yun packed up his things and called Qian Yudong and the others who were waiting.
After returning to the dormitory, everyone went about their own business without disturbing each other.
Xu Yun continued to calculate his new proof method, while Zhou Qi went to find his teammates to prepare for the winter vacation competition.
Qian Yudong and Zhao Yuefeng rarely reviewed to avoid failing this month's final exam.
As time passes, and as Jingzhou enters darkness, work begins overseas.
City of Cambridge.
Clay Institute of Mathematics.
In the office, Griffith saw Xu Yun's reply, and a smile appeared on his face.
"Very good."
While expressing his joy, he contacted the Mathematical Union and asked them to officially announce the list of organizing committee members.
Perhaps because of Perelman's example, Griffiths was very satisfied with Xu Yun's performance. In addition, after personally listening to Xu Yun's report on the Hodge Conjecture, he was even more looking forward to Xu Yun's future achievements. I even want to hire him to the Clay Mathematics Institute.
So when the federation found him to participate in the selection committee, he thought of the special existence of Xu Yun.
Although Xu Yun's undergraduate status is not enough to serve as a judge, no one can question it.
After all, the identity of the prover of Hodge's conjecture is much more valuable than any PhD, professor or expert.
Soon after Griffith finished contacting the Mathematical Union, the official list of the organizing committee was published online.
the next day.
The list is sent back to major universities.
The professor who has been the preliminary judge of the domestic competition area for many years looked a little strange and stunned when he saw Xu Yun's name written clearly in the column of the final judge.
Naturally, they were no strangers to Xu Yun. After all, they had attended a lecture at Jingzhou University more than a month ago.
It's just that under normal circumstances, Xu Yun, as the winner of the Higher Education Society Cup, should lead the team to participate.
Who would have thought that the identity span would be so wide, that he would directly become a judge for selecting the special prize.
The key point is that even if Xu Yun has not graduated from his undergraduate degree, no one dares to question it.
The reason is also very simple.
If you think someone is not qualified to be a judge, then first prove a difficult mathematical problem in the world.
It was under this circumstance that no one said anything, but the discussion in the exchange groups of participating groups from major universities was very lively.
"I read that right, why did Xu Shen join the US Games organizing committee?"
"Awesome."
"As expected of Xu Shen, most mathematics professors in the country can't get this kind of qualification."
"So it's possible that our paper has entered Xu Shen's mailbox?"
"What good thing are you thinking about? I am the judge who selects the special prize. Let's get out of the domestic competition first."
"I think this is a good thing, at least no one will give us the special prize."
…
As the number of people participating in the discussion gradually increased, everyone soon discovered something that was very beneficial to them.
Xu Yun has already won the highest prize of the Higher Education Society Cup. With his ability, if he really leads the team members to participate, the special prize will be basically the same as the default, and they don't need to compete for it at all.
But now the situation is different.
Xu Yun will not participate again after serving as a judge, so it is still unknown who will win the special prize.
Each participating team has the possibility to take home the award.
at the same time.
A self-study room in the Mathematics Department of Qinghua University.
There were only three people sitting in the empty study room, and they were the competition group headed by Pu Wenxing.
"team leader."
"I just saw the news that Xu Yun is also participating in the competition."
At this time, Li Wenqing suddenly raised his head, put down the mobile phone in his hand, and told Pu Wenxing the news.
But apart from surprise, there was no other emotion on his face.
Ever since she last met Xu Yun at the Higher Education Society Cup expert interview and learned about Xu Yun's achievements over the past year, the relationship between her and Xu Yun has become more and more distant.
In particular, learning that Xu Yun had proved the world's difficult mathematical problem caused a sensation in the entire mathematics community.
Then they will become even more alien.
Knowing that each other is already a person from two different worlds.
So much so that even if he was surprised by what happened to Xu Yun, it was just a normal human reaction.
Speaking of which, Pu Wenxing was so stimulated by Xu Yun that he almost lost the desire to participate in the International Mathematical Modeling Competition next month. However, considering the tasks given by the department and not letting down his two teammates, he regained his passion and took advantage of the opportunity. The last more than a month of surprise training.
He had long heard Xu Yun say that the opponent would not participate in the competition next month and would not be able to compete on the same stage again.
But now that he heard the news from Li Wenqing, he instantly felt like he was resurrected with full blood.
"Is the news accurate?"
"OK."
"We will get the special prize no matter what this time."
So what if Xu Yun proved Hodge's conjecture, it is not used in a competition of this level. In a sense, they are still at the same starting line, which means they have a probability of defeating Xu Yun. The team won the special prize in the competition.
I have to say that this is really exciting news.
But unfortunately, his enthusiasm did not last long, and the next second he became discouraged again because of Li Wenqing's words.
"The news is naturally true. Xu Yun did participate in the competition, but he did so as a judge."
"What did you say?"
"Judges?"
When Pu Wenxing heard this, he stood up subconsciously and thought he was hallucinating.
But soon I heard Li Wenqing repeat it again.
"It's the judges."
"The Mathematical Union invited him to join the competition organizing committee and directly participate in the selection of the special prize."
After confirming the news, Pu Wenxing felt something stuck in his chest and felt extremely uncomfortable.
I couldn't help complaining in my heart, could you please stop gasping for breath next time you speak?
But with the facts in front of him, he could only choose to accept it. After a few seconds of slowing down, he regained his energy and firm gaze.
"Even if we don't have the chance to compete with Xu Yun, we still have to let the competition papers appear in his mailbox."
